Anarchistbanjo's World

True empowerment comes from a fully integrated belief system and lifestyle that harmonizes both the physical and spiritual sides of human nature. This fully integrated belief system is unique and individual to each one of us. We can read other authors, study other systems and philosophies, but in the end the only thing that matters is our belief system and how well we have integrated it.

Each one of us is a prisoner of our own beliefs, bias and experience. The only way to break free is through outside help! To think outside the box we need exposure to thoughts that are not our own. Sharing our thoughts with others and listening to their thoughts is an important function that we do for each other!

The same thing can be said for books that we read, movies that we see, classes that we take and the new things that we do. But something needs to be said that’s very important. If anyone tells you that they have the answers that you are looking for alarm bells should begin ringing out once! No one has your answers! They only have their answers!

The best that they can do for us and that we can do for them is to stimulate thought, challenge assumptions and help us to clarify our positions so that we understand ourselves better and help them to understand themselves better. We act as catalyst for each other! A true catalyst causes change but remains independent of that change and is not part of the final outcome.

I don’t want anyone to believe the way that I do. What I’m trying to do in these posts is challenge people to think about things that they probably haven’t thought about before! Once they have thought about these things they can decide for themselves what their own belief is. That’s what I’m trying to do for you and that’s what others have done for me!
