In some spiritual groups, it is said that all is within us. That's exactly right. Gaze into the nighttime sky on a cloudless night and reflect that the stars and planets are in the same relationship that atoms exist in relationship to the space inherit in our bodies.

Is the infinitely small one with the infinitely huge? Yes, because at this level, there is no dualism. Infinity is simply Infinity. It exists side-by-side with nothing.

Meanwhile, what are we doing? Our current behavior sadly reflects Psychiatrist Eric Fromm's book. In allowing our self to be managed by the likes of a Donald Trump or a Hillary Clinton, or more importantly, the corporations that control them. By allowing this, we escape from our freedom.

How do we rekindle freedom and empowerment? First, we need to become independent of corporations. This is a huge undertaking because the corporations rule the roost, in both the democratic and republican parties. It's a huge systemic mess that leaves us disempowered.

Think about it. Who owns the grocery stores? Who provides the oil and gasoline that allow us to work several miles away from where we live? What of restaurants? How many are chains like McDonald's, Applebee's, Duncan Donuts, etc.?

Are these health?

Who actually governs us and who rules the government that we falsely believe holds the power? The Rothchilds? The Kochs? From what I understand, the Rothchilds have the Monopoly Game in their back pockets. They apparently are winning.

And, yes, this is exactly why the game Monopoly was invented. It was a game, yes. More to the point, it was a warning regarding the horrors of monopolizing the world.
