If you're not working at doing nothing, then you are so not understanding the flow of Nature. In fact, you become the antithesis of that flow. The more we spin from the center of natural flow, the tighter our tether stretches, and we will be drawn back to nothingness by living rightly, or it will snap and we will extinguish ourselves. There is no “solution;” it’s a myth.

Living in the Dream World

My religious beliefs are not categorized in any particular doctrine aside from Pantheism and Animism, to an extent; a shade of Shinto in its earliest form. Regardless, the concept is all about Total Prosperity, or living in a manner that benefits all life, not only select species. But where many doctrine and dogma emanate from translations of stories and morals based upon interpretations of God’s word—or whatever such name one might assign to the Creator—my beliefs stem directly from the Creator’s autobiographical work itself, with no intermediate filters. It comes directly from the reality of the natural world, where the authority is natural law—something which none of us can really expect to conquer or avoid. My beliefs dictate, through the predetermined cycles of nature, that participation in a system of economics directly opposes natural law. In other words, I would be compromising my beliefs if I were to contribute to any kind of materialistic or artificial existence that does not purely preserve, or which compromises, the proper, pre-established function of the natural world. This is something that I’ve had to do for far too long, and existence has been miserable, living in hypocrisy and participating in a destruction that I unconditionally oppose.
Now, with a foreclosure, and with the extreme lull of my business (I’ve never claimed to be a good businessman—I’m about the least qualified--in spite of being quite skilled at the labor), my family is faced with the discrimination of “non-viable credit.” And we’ve heard every pitch there is to rebuild, recondition, and reintegrate, but it all severely misses the accompanying matter. This form of prejudice eliminates opportunities for living and for employment. Our foreclosure has happened as a result of many factors—none of which, by the way, are laziness, complacency, or lack of skill, in spite of the compulsory connotation associated with such labeling—but it seems the proper catalyst toward finally establishing that there is some need of reform in our society even beyond economy.
As an expert survivalist of the Aboriginal methods of living, and in consideration of my convictions, not to mention simply being a creature born on this planet, I would expect that the option to live primitively in the natural areas of the state and country would be a given. In other words, if anyone chooses not to participate in the modern system, how can there not be an option to live according to the Original Instructions of the natural world? Along with the violation of 1st Amendment rights, according to the doctrine of this government, eliminating anyone’s birthright as a natural being to live naturally is an outright injustice.
So the result is that my three children are homeless because authorities are saying that we cannot exercise our birthright of freedom to live purely with the environment while not contributing to the destruction of it. My skills only have worth in our society if I use them to oppose my beliefs, which makes existence worthless and wholly wretched, or because someone is actually trying to insist that living freely as the Aborigines who were all but eliminated and oppressed is not an option. Why is it that a vast variety of religions can be brought to this country to be observed and practiced here, but the native beliefs that support the welfare of the natural world cannot be without contradicting them? I know I’m nearly alone in this mindset, but seriously, when nobody listens or even cares, and the highest point to which one can take an injustice is the very source of the injustice itself, something needs to change. Inherent freedom can’t just be dissolved, and this concept of land being owned by everyone except for those who live the most closely with it is kind of absurd. There need to be options and tolerance.
