Slavery In Selfishness - Enough Is Enough

People and animals want to be free. When people and animals lose their freedom, it makes them unhappy and it's obvious to see. Today, we're all in slavery, but we're blind to it because we're immersed in a lie.

There are two kinds of slavery (bad and good) and two kinds of freedom (bad and good):

Slavery:

1. Bad Slavery: Being slaves in the quality of selfishness.
• This is where we are today. The leaders of this world have us trapped in slavery, but it's so subtle and the lie so complete, that we don't even know we're slaves:
• People work all day and have no life. They're slaves to their jobs.
• People live in debt their whole lives. They're slaves to debt.
• People buy things they don't need. They're slaves to materialism and consumerism.
• People live with crime. They're slaves to fear.
• This results in emptiness, loneliness, and depression, leading to various addictions as people try to escape their lives and numb their emptiness, but nothing works, leaving them even more empty than before.
• When do we say - ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!?
• Nobody wants to live a miserable, unhappy life forever, it's not sustainable. Eventually, as we know from history, we reach a breaking point, and we react to our situation, which is where we are today.
• Cry out to The Creator for change and demand it, because there is another way to live, but we have to ask for it.
2. Good Slavery: Being slaves in the quality of bestowal.
• We have to change from selfishness (for me) to bestowal (for others). When we're in bestowal, seeking to benefit others and all of Nature, we become slaves/servants to The Creator, but it's a positive and constructive way of life, one that brings joy, happiness and fulfillment. We enjoy it and we justify it.

Freedom:

1. Bad Freedom: The illusion of freedom in the quality of selfishness.
• In selfishness, we have no freedom, we have the illusion of freedom, but we're not really free.
• Freedom of expression, freedom of religion etc., gives us the feeling that we have freedom, but it's all an illusion because we're still immersed in selfishness.
• The freedom to choose between an apple and an orange isn't true freedom, it's simply a preference.
2. Good Freedom: Actual freedom in the quality of bestowal.
• The only way we can experience TRUE freedom is when we're in the quality of bestowal, because we become free from the oppressive nature of the quality of selfishness.
• Freedom doesn't mean that we don't do anything, but rather, that we agree with what we do.

We have to leave the slavery of the quality of selfishness. Cry out to The Creator for TRUE freedom and He will grant it to you.

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Freedom Of Choice - Becoming A Slave To Love

What is freedom? What is freedom of choice? It all has to do with our ego and its control over us.

Today, we're all immersed in selfishness, seeking to benefit ourselves with no regard for others. This means we're not free - we're slaves to our ego and it controls us.

We think we're free and we think we have freedom of choice, for example, we can choose apples over oranges; but this isn't freedom, it's simply a preference - we prefer one thing over another.

True freedom and true freedom of choice has to do with being free from our egos, being free from the quality of selfishness so we can be in the quality of bestowal - seeking to benefit others instead of ourselves.

True freedom and true freedom of choice exists only on the condition that we're free from ourselves, free from the quality of selfishness, that the quality of selfishness doesn't take part, that we're not present under the influence of the quality of selfishness, that we're above our egos, we're liberated from ourselves, from selfishness, from our gut, from our selfish habits and instincts.

A person who's not seeking to benefit others instead of themselves, who's not connected with others in mutual bestowal, who's not included in others, who's not working for others, is not free.

We're free only when we become slaves to love, when we're addicted to others, seeking to benefit them instead of ourselves. This is called being free.

We need to know how we're being governed, then we need to be free from the quality of selfishness so we can be free to be in the quality of bestowal - this is true freedom and true freedom of choice.

We can achieve this through the influence of our social environment. Our social environment has a powerful influence over us. If our social environment is benevolent, it influences us to be benevolent. We need to rise above our egos, stop harming others then seek to benefit others instead of ourselves. In this way, we'll influence others to do the same.

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves. Then we'll become truly free.

True Freedom

True freedom is being free of the quality of selfishness, free to be in the quality of bestowal, seeking to benefit others instead of yourself.

Be Free

Why trade the confinement of slavery for the confinement of prison? Be free.
Why trade the confinement of apartheid for the confinement of prison? Be free.
Why trade the confinement of poverty for the confinement of prison? Be free.
Why trade the confinement of oppression for the confinement of drugs and alcohol? Be free.
Why trade the confinement of abuse for the confinement of drugs and alcohol? Be free.
Why trade the confinement of loneliness for the confinement of drugs and alcohol? Be free.
Why trade one form of confinement for another form of confinement? Be free.

Today, we're all immersed in the confinement of selfishness, as we seek to benefit ourselves with no regard for others. In this state we trade one form of confinement for another form of confinement. We pile on misery upon misery.

We should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves and become genuinely concerned for each other's welfare and well-being. This is true freedom because it frees us from ourselves, from selfishness and from all the confinements that selfishness brings.

Be free and connect with others in mutual concern and responsibility.

A Letter To People In Prison

From:
Carter Kagume

To:
People In Prison

Dear people in prison,

Change is coming to the entire world and it's going to affect us all. Our internal qualities are going to change from the quality of selfishness to the quality of bestowal/love of others/altruism.

The Quality Of Selfishness

Currently, we're all immersed in the quality of selfishness, we seek to benefit ourselves with no regard for others. We seek personal profit and gain, even at the expense of others.

Selfishness leads to crime, hatred, revenge, corruption and other destructive behaviour that harms people, animals, the environment and society as a whole.

The quality of selfishness is a prison because a person becomes trapped in their selfish ways and they become separated from God and from others.

Selfish destructive behaviour causes fear, tension, stress and unhappiness in people and in society as a whole. Selfish behaviour has to stop.

The Quality of Bestowal

Our internal qualities have to change from selfishness to bestowal, we have to seek to benefit others instead of ourselves. We have to think of others instead of ourselves.

It's not just about making other people happy because there are many destructive things that make people 'happy'. It's about benefiting others - doing what's good for them.

The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the only one who can change a person's internal qualities. Ask Him for help and He'll change you.

When our internal qualities change from selfishness to bestowal, we'll become connected to God in quality because our internal qualities will become similar to God's quality.

Also, we'll become connected to each other in mutual concern and responsibility and we'll become genuinely concerned for each other's welfare and well-being.

This connection, with God and with each other, will bring us spiritual nourishment, fulfillment and pleasure, which will make us very happy.

The quality of bestowal is true freedom because it frees a person from the quality of selfishness. A person become free to connect with God and to connect with others.

We connect with others by seeking to benefit them, by taking care of them. When we take care of others, we free them, and when they take care of us, they free us. We free each other in mutual care and responsibility. This interconnection creates a sense of freedom.

Crime

Crime happens because of the quality of selfishness, because people seek personal profit and gain with no regard for others.

The quality of selfishness is a destructive force that has a negative impact on us, on others and on society as a whole.

Some people cause physical harm to others - murder, rape, assault, robbery, child abuse and neglect, family violence etc. This has to stop.

Some people cause harm to other people's property - burglary, theft/larceny, auto theft, arson etc. This has to stop.

Some people cause harm to themselves and to others - prostitution, illegal gambling, illicit drugs etc. This has to stop.

Some people exploit others - embezzling, insider trading, tax evasion, fraud, corruption, bribery etc. This has to stop.

Some people get involved in organized crime - mafia, thugs and gangs, drug cartels, money laundering, weapons smuggling, human trafficking etc. This has to stop.

We have to stop harming others. Instead, we have to seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

We have to become genuinely concern for the welfare and well-being of others, and we have to take care of each other as one family, in mutual concern and responsibility.

Police

The police force, the criminal code, law enforcement etc. exist because of the quality of selfishness. These systems exist to protect us from one another because we harm each other.

If our internal qualities change from selfishness to bestowal, the police force, the criminal code, law enforcement and prisons will disappear.

They'll become unnecessary because we won't harm each other. Rather, we'll seek to benefit each other and we'll take care of each other in mutual concern and responsibility.

Laws

Laws exist in all of nature and we're expected to comply with them. For example, if we don't respect the law of gravity, we're going to get hurt.

Everyone is obligated to comply with the laws of the land, it's a standard requirement expected of all citizens. Laws are necessary to organize communal life.

Even love has it's laws. The law of the quality of bestowal is: seek to benefit others instead of yourself. This law will replace all the laws that now exist because of the quality of selfishness.

Rights And Freedoms

Individual rights and freedoms are an illusion because we're all immersed in the quality of selfishness. The freedom to pick our poison isn't true freedom because we only move from one form of misery to another form of misery.

True freedom comes from being in the quality of bestowal, from connecting to God and to others. We become free from ourselves, free form the quality of selfishness.

Our true rights? We have the right to leave the quality of selfishness for the quality of bestowal and we have the right to benefit others in as many ways as possible.

Influence Of Our Social Environment

Our social environment has a big influence on us. If our social environment is selfish, it teaches us to be selfish. If our social environment is altruistic, it teaches us to be altruistic.

We should be aware of two things: first, the influence our social environment has on us, and second, the influence we have on our social environment.

We should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves and by doing so, we'll influence others to do the same. In this way we'll have a positive influence on others and on society as a whole.

Poverty

Poverty is often linked to crime - 'if you have nothing, you have nothing to lose'. However, criminal behaviour harms everyone, individuals, communities and society as a whole.

If our internal qualities change to bestowal, and we seek to benefit others instead of ourselves, poverty will disappear because we'll take care of each other in mutual responsibility.

By caring for each other, everyone around the world will live above the poverty line and everyone will enjoy a dignified standard of living.

Youth

Young people often engage in crime - due to peer pressure, negative influences, drugs and alcohol, out of boredom, to fit in, rebel, prove themselves etc.

We all have to change - children, youth and adults alike. Our internal qualities have to change from selfishness to bestowal.

Children learn from their parents. If adults seek to benefit others instead of themselves, they'll influence their children to do the same.

In this way, children and youth will become kind, caring and compassionate. They won't harm others, instead, they'll seek to benefit others in mutual concern and responsibility.

Drugs And Alcohol

Some people engage in criminal behaviour due to the influence of drugs and alcohol. They hurt themselves, others and society as a whole.

When our internal qualities change from selfishness to bestowal, people will want to be sober because they'll want to be in the right frame of mind so as to benefit others.

We Are One Family

Communities that have been oppressed and/or have been made to feel that they don't belong, become fractured and they suffer from social challenges such as crime, drugs and alcohol.

No one should be in prison, but for comparison purposes, if purple people made up 30% of the total population, then you'd expect them to make up 30% of the prison population.

However, some communities are over-represented in prison:

In the USA, blacks are 12% of the total population and 40% of the prison population.
In South Africa, coloureds are 9% of the total population and 18 % of the prison population.
In Canada, Aboriginals are 2.5% of the total population and 20 % of the prison population.
In Australia, Aboriginals are 2.3% of the total population and 25% of the prison population.

These communities have been made to feel that they don't belong and the consequences are obvious.

When our internal qualities change from selfishness to bestowal, we'll connect with each other in mutual concern and responsibility. Everyone will feel that they belong.

We'll become interconnected and interdependent, so everyone will feel included. Everyone will contribute and everyone will participate in building the new society.

In this way, we'll become connected as one family. We are all one family and we should start behaving like one family. We should treat each other with kindness, respect, compassion, tolerance, empathy and love.

Divine Intervention

Everyone has to take personal responsibility and accountability for their own actions, and there's no excuse for destructive behaviour that harms others. However, there's more.

We're all operated from above - everything that happens, happens for a reason. It's meant to be. Meaning, we're not responsible for our actions because we're operated from above.

Through divine intervention, God turns negative events into something positive. Crime and other negative actions tell a positive story of our internal qualities - how we'll change from selfishness to bestowal.

I'm not saying that we should engage in negative behaviour, not at all. In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

I'm saying that God Himself will reveal The Truth and The Truth will set us all free.

Summary

Our internal qualities have to change from selfishness to bestowal, we have to seek to benefit others instead of ourselves. All selfish destructive behaviour has to end.

We have to stop harming others and we have to become genuinely concerned for each other's welfare and well-being.

In this way, we'll connect to God in quality and we'll connect to each other in mutual responsibility. Poverty will end, prisons will empty and law enforcement will disappear.

Life as we know it will change for the better and we'll become united as one family.

May The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob guide you, may He lead you and may He show you the way. We'll succeed, but only together.

Know that you are loved.

God is with us and to Him we shall all return.
