FANTASYLAND

Ho Ho Ho, Santa is on his way down the chimney again.
What goodies does he bring today?

Mammon is the love of money and out of this love for money that we have been induced into accepting has arisen a whole way of living that we are referring to as Mammon in this article. We are using “Mammon” to identify and demonstrate the darkness behind the world we live in and its influences upon us.

When we register our children’s births, we are buying them a ticket to Mammon’s Fantasyland, a fictional world where they can go from ride to ride, always safely contained within the fences of Mammon. Mammon society provides them with a multitude of choices to keep them distracted so they don’t have time to look over the fences and see the greener grass of a world that honours life. Mammon is the beat of a different drum.

Our children are indoctrinated by Fantasyland from very young, particularly if we allow them to be brought up by the T.V. and computer games. By the time most children are young adults, they are convinced that Fantasyland is the only option available for society. They have gravitated to Mammon’s chaotic rhythm beating to a different drum.

Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, Barbie and Superman all join with The Wizard of Oz to take us down the Yellow Brick Road to the Land of Fiction. When we fill our children with pre-packaged characters, their own imaginations remain undeveloped and they grow up more ready to imitate what is around them than look within themselves for their inspiration and guidance streaming from their real feelings. Being so used to fiction, we easily swallow the grown up stories fed to us by mammon and fall into the trap of ignoring our true feelings and absorbing the mammon myth. We are taught to live in fantasy so we expect fantasy lives, leading us to be ashamed when we are battling debt and struggling to survive the mammon system. We become so familiarized with the layers of stories that surround us that we forget to put the stories back on the shelf and focus on what is real. Our Mammon schools and universities prepare us for careers that are born out of Mammon and therefore out of fantasy. Mammon beats very hard and fast to its chaotic rhythm.

Our conditioned worship of mammon is reinforced by the thousands of people who work in advertising and PR spending billions of dollars to instruct people that using Mammon’s money in a life of consumerism is the only way to go. Only Mammon’s money power can afford to maintain a constant reminder of its presence in every major thoroughfare of people, as well as in their homes and workplaces. Yet more billions of dollars are spent by scientists and psychologists with private corporations behind them, working out how to manipulate and enhance the human capacity for psychological and emotional addiction.

Our addictions are all fiction based; many people are addicted to unnatural, processed, manipulated food but we never hear of someone with a dangerous addiction to organic oranges. The traditional real foods of nature do not harm us and are not addictive. Look around your supermarket and notice what percentage of the food on offer is real food from nature (remember that real food has not been sprayed or fertilised with a cocktail of noxious chemicals).

White sugar, soft drink, margarine, low fat, iodised salt, fast foods, lollies, synthetic additives and preservatives, and fluoride in the water all cause chaos in our bodies, leading to imbalances in our emotions, leading to chaos in our minds, which ensures we stay blind to the chaos happening all around us. Petroleum products, chemicals, fertilizers and pollution from manufacturing cause chaos in nature, but our internal chaos, the emotional addictions, keep us attached to being part of what is destructive to life. This is why over 80,000 poisons are circulating in the world today. All poisons and chemicals keep us marching to the chaotic beat from a different drum.

If we are in balance and harmony, in our minds and bodies, the rhythms of feelings of who we really are cannot be controlled by chaos and we will not stand for chaos. We will not allow 80,000 poisons to break and enter into our real lives and cause damages. Hence mammon’s need to gradually break us down with poisons, to send us into a state of chaos and to then keep us ruled by our emotions which are the chaotic rhythms of the beat to a different drum.

Our minds should be like crystal clear ponds, full of life but calm and still, with the bottom clearly visible. The influence of Mammon is like the addition of bucket loads of mud, stirred around until the waters of the pond are murky. Our feelings are like the bottom of the pond; when our minds are clear we allow ourselves to feel our true feelings so they can inspire and guide us. 

When we are in a state of chaos, we are in a grey fog, unable to distinguish between black and white. While we are in this state, we do not notice the unabated growth of black as white falls by the wayside; it is hard to tell the difference when everything seems grey.

The politicians, the media and experts sell us the story that our nation has never been better: our standard of living is high and we all have access to health care, education, travel, entertainment, information, sport and the arts. We have an abundance of choice in schools, universities, careers, supermarkets, cars, travel, goods and services, where we live, how we eat, drink and worship. Our lives in the lucky country shine like the gloss in a newly painted house, but if we look carefully, we can see the bubbles appearing where the many coats of undercoat are starting to peel away; the environment is dying before our eyes, the rate of suicide, mental illness and poverty is dramatically increasing, more and more of us are struggling with debt, and the number of people both in Australia and worldwide, who have enough money to enjoy all these choices is decreasing. The marching to the chaotic beat coming from a different drum instructs the middle and upper class to give up whatever is left of the common wealth, leaving the upper, upper class with the bounty.

The support networks once created by close communities are disappearing, widening and deepening the chasms for those who can’t hold on and leaving the wealth of wisdom of the elder generations untapped. More and more charities are being created, but they can only put band-aids on the extraordinary multitude of sores erupting on the surface. Those lucky few who can afford a nice lifestyle are working longer hours to keep the jobs that give them the money, while others have to work two or three jobs just to keep their families afloat. Even those with money are finding themselves limiting their options due to the fear of crime, terrorism and war. We are barricading ourselves behind our brick walls to guarantee the safety of our loved ones and thus the quality of life we have is diminishing. As we feel the pressure to survive increasing, we have less time for supporting others and have become concerned only with the needs of ourselves and those closest to us.

We willingly celebrate the diversity of nature, delighting in the fact that not one tree is the same as the next, but we seem unable to do this with ourselves. Mammon refuses to allow us to see the uniqueness of each one of us as we are constantly reminded that one is taller, richer, stronger, faster, prettier, fatter, brainier than the rest. Those who don’t conform are ridiculed, as are those in the public eye, encouraging us to compare, complain, bitch and gossip. Backstabbing, covered by “niceness” reflects the brutality underlying the surface gloss of Mammon life. We are drowning in niceness, with emotions running rampant beneath. No wonder we have lost community trust.

We are conditioned to let our emotions run us instead of listening to our real feelings. Our emotions come out of our sub-conscious memories and are frozen, causing us to become frozen in our responses to the world. Emotions are stories of our past that have become imprisoned because we won’t let go of them. They form the destructive dam upon the free-to-be river, regulating and controlling the real feelings of our lives. Greed, selfishness, lies, secrets, fear, anxiety, opinionated, disrespect, distrust, power trips, control trips, righteousness, indifference, hatred, loneliness, unhappiness, isolation, despair, emptiness, delusion, fantasy, fiction, anger, arrogance, ignorance, justification, ridicule, scorn, invalidation, abuse, ego, deceit, uncertainty, unreliability, rebellion, enslavement, cynicism, repression, illusion, confusion, distraction, fiction, desire, jealousy, don’t spontaneously happen – they are all the result of something that has happened in the past that we haven’t let go off which dominate our attention.

Feelings are like the motions of the universe, flowing and never stopping. Our feelings are real, spontaneous and free-to-be. Life starts with feelings; the relationship between a mother and her new baby is based on feelings, not thoughts and emotions. Feelings come first – feelings do not convey thoughts but thoughts can convey feelings. Emotions are Chaos – Feelings are Real.

When we feed our children a diet of fiction and fantasy, we are instructing them to take and accept chaos into their lives, instead of allowing nature and everything that is real and natural to demonstrate balance and order to them so they learn it for themselves. When our children are born and we put needles full of harmful substances into them, we are introducing chaos into their bodies. It is their first dose of fiction and their first instruction to obey chaos. A body in chaos is a dis-eased body and the chaos within the body has physical and mental manifestations in sickness and depression. We are ultra absorbent and, from very young we soak up instructions and suggestions to accept fiction until we accept chaos willingly and don’t want to live a life of balance and harmony that unfold when we respond to the rhythms of our real feelings.

Instead of allowing our children to develop and use their imaginations within the real feeling world of nature, we feed them with plastic stereotyped images such as Batman, Bratz dolls and Bob the Builder, all of whom are stagnant, defined characters with no room for a child’s imagination. Television and video games ignore the real feelings of the child and focus on the intellect, which without connection to real feelings aligns itself with chaos. Films like Batman reinforce the image of the chaotic world we are addicted to and the merchandise attached to every toy, film and book strengthens the box we are building around our children, until their ability to feel and then think for themselves is paralysed. Add MacDonald’s, Coca-Cola and advertising to keep their bodies and minds in chaos and they are lost in a haze of mammon and can create only chaos around them. Where members of the great indigenous cultures could telepathically communicate between each other across huge distances, as a norm, we have reverted to using mobile phones owned and controlled by Mammon.
