We Are All Born To 'Make' It. (Planet Earth Revolves Around Manifesting)

Planet Earth is one of manifestation.
Almost everything is tangible. You can see the outcome of thoughts to literal feeling as you look around, where ever you are.
Humans are always dreaming, thinking and then creating.
The more you know how to do it.
The more valuable you are perceived to be.
We are all born professional dreamers.
The challenge is, how do we turn the intangible into matter? 
Material.
How does one materialise?
And not only that., How does one acquire profit from their ideas to prove they have mastered the art the planet revolves around?
How do we balance our handy work with how fast our brains move?
Personally, I find my brain is always moving. Always layering thoughts over one another. Always expanding, always thinking up new ideas and concepts.
It takes almost no energy to think up an idea, and could take half a life time to manifest it.
The problem is wanting to prove ourselves as creative beings. Through having something to show for. 
So, is there really anything wrong with wanting things? Or wanting money? Or wanting to consume? Or create for that matter. 
No. I don't believe so.
We are here on such a planet to do this very thing.


But something inside me wonders if our value is being placed solely on the physical. 
How much room do we give for the value of emotion, mental health. spiritual growth?
If everything we do, revolves around accumulating a piece of paper, if we need this thing to prove our value at what cost does it compensate for our growth outside of the physical realm but as infinite beings (energy) passing through a material world temporarily.

If you take notice, you will find duality in all things. The relationship between opposites exist everywhere. In this case, its about that of which we can see, and that of which we cannot see. As our planet, with its inhabitants, thriving on that which we can see, feel and taste to survive. 
We place the value on things that only have these elements present. In order to for us to acquire visual wealth, to appear more important we will go the distance- selling parts of our souls in order to be richer.
The transaction I'm writing about doesn't take place in some underground stairwell, hidden from the rest of society due to shame and embarrassment.

Its out. Its open. And it happens both subconsciously and consciously. 
    .
- At the cost of self esteem, our peers (the other humans that work for the brands that feed off of your insecurities) will sell us cheap dreams to look and be something other than ourselves. 
- We are sold the lie that there must be some kind of hierarchy, the constant power struggle, there must be a top and bottom right? Two things cannot shine at the same time.. there is not enough room for diversity. There must be a standard, and unfortunately the consumer has not fully realised their power, that the 'standard' is whatever the hell we say it is. 

- 'Good news does not sell'. Why not? If people decided that they would rather hear about positive movements that are improving the standard of peoples lives, rather than celebrity gossip. Then that is what magazines would give, because no company would release a product, knowing it will not gain any profit. 

Money is physical energy, this is why people feel good when they have it, because we are told that there is value in it. Which is fine, but what you feed grows. So every time we allow ourselves to give into the pressure of trading our energy for products which preach they are a necessity, we feed a system that thrives off of human insecurity. 

- We are pressured to adhere to ideals. 
Ideals. 
Ideals. 
Someone else's idea seeps through our skulls. We are left with the residue of belief systems that do not belong to us. At tender age. Our young, impressionable brains adopt these ideas. We spend the next twenty years trying to unlearn what we did not even need to realise as children before. 
To just be. 
And be okay.  
With whatever that looks like.
Damn. 

Now we go round and round needing constant reminders.
We sell each other to a system of hurt for profit.

Suppress our inner being so we don't stand out too far. 


Have the humans become so self indulgent that they have forgotten how to share?  
Have they become so obsessed with what can be seen. They only value the tangible.
They have no real respect for human suffering. Emotion.
Killing animals for no good reason. 
Consuming more than creating.
We cannot sustain our habits. 

Selling the idea of the ideal human.
Selling our true souls to be easier accepted. Allowing the self esteem of both men and women to be crushed under the force of media.
We kill our mental to feed our greed.
We kill our spirits and the parts of us that make us unique to appear 'better' on the outside.

But what is the internal self esteem saying?

In this generation, we are moving towards a time of being self made. To making a living out of just being authentic.
So. Perhaps it's time for a shift in paradigms. 
Where seeing is no longer the only way to believe it. 
Where receiving sincere love, a smile, is also profit. 
Where we give room for more than one kind of transaction. 
Where we do not lose ourselves in material wealth.
Where we do not forget that there are two sides to life. What we can see and feel and that of which cannot be seen.
The other day this hit me hard. As it was not already so obvious. 
This is what we do here. 
Think. 
Make things.
We have exercised how to use our brains. And then use our bodies to work for our brains.
But there is still one side of us that goes thirsty and uncultivated. 
Our hearts. Human empathy.

For a long time we have asked, why? 
Why do we do this, why were we so ready to use fellow humans as slaves to build empires. 
Why do we still do this?
Why are we so ready to slit the throat of a stranger and to sacrifice our own sanity to climb the invisible ladder of 'success'?

In our thriving to achieve. To dream. To create and REAL-ise our thoughts and ideas. Let us no not forget our inner well-being. That we will not trade true friendship for cheap fortune. That we will not trade true love over things that whither and burn. That we move for the feeling and love for whatever craft we wish to 'perfect' and not just to be seen. So we care more about what we know than what we want others to think we know. So that, as we have, so greatly, created a world of amazing technology and manipulated material in such a way that we can live more abundantly. We should also respect the other side of ourselves that cries for growth. 
So we do not place material profit over emotional health. 
A shift in priorities is necessary.

Planet Earth is one of manifestation.
I cannot say what the other planets revolve around, I've never been there. 
But our Earth, with its obsession with things that shine.
Has done a great job of shining from the outside.
However, on the inside... there is a lot of discovering, cleaning and cleansing to do.
