WE KNOW NOTHING
Greetings Awakened Ones!
One thing that I have learned in my life that is very helpful is to let go of belief systems that no longer serve you.
As we go through life, we are programmed with different beliefs and ideas that we come to accept as truths, but in reality they are just beliefs that have been passed down to us.
In this western society, there are many man-made laws that we follow and hardly question the legitimacy of these claims. In the Indigenous Culture, we follow natural laws, which never change and are based on the true reality of things.
I am always searching for truth and trying to figure out what is going on here and how I can develop into a higher version of myself. I completed a Sociology degree in university, so I studied society, culture and people. Through my studies, I came to realize that this society is backward and dysfunctional.
I also learned that everything they teach about the Indigenous Culture is lies and based on ignorance. I grew up in the western world and was programmed to believe in money, power, competition and separation.
These values felt wrong and unhealthy and I never bought into the lies that this society teaches us. I questioned everything I was told was the truth and after studying the information, came up with my own conclusion, based on the evidence.
There are days when I wake up and feel miserable and I have very negative thoughts. I know that this is temporary and these feelings will pass. I know that the next day, after a good nights rest, I will wake up and feel better and my thoughts will change.
I change my beliefs everyday and I never hang on to old beliefs that hold me back. I'm always willing to learn from others and I have the motto that I know nothing, so I have to begin with that understanding.
Many people think they know what's right and what's wrong, but they have no idea whatsoever if what they believe is true. We all think we know a lot about nothing.
When i'm feeling really angry, I know I have to exercise, because if i don't my feelings get pent-up and I feel frustrated. We have to keep our bodies healthy and strong because only then will be feel our best.
In the Indigenous culture, we aim to be healthy, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically, this is based on the Medicine Wheel Teachings. If we neglect any area, we will not be healthy and have a sense of well-being.
In this western culture, there is no focus on health or well-being, only power and money. There are so many dysfunctional people here, it is a hard place to live. I just read about so-called parents, who had their 4 children locked up in a barn in cages in the USA. How do we think these children are going to develop into healthy and strong individuals?
In the Indigenous culture, it takes the whole community to raise the children and the extended family, such as the grandparents have a big role in raising the children. In this western culture, we have babies raising babies, and the older people here are not very wise or developed themselves, not like in Indigenous culture where our elders are wise and very well respected.
We all take things too seriously here, like we are so important, but in reality, 100 years after we have passed away, no-one will remember us and the little things we did or the mistakes we made, so we have to lighten up and not be so serious about things. You can work your ass off your whole life, buy a big house and then you die, and then all the time you wasted comes to nothing.
We are all connected and all valuable. We have to come out of the dark ages and live in a better way together.
In Light and Love,
Shakanin
