Okay, so let’s go. First of all, land has been taken from us by violence.
Land naturally doesn’t belong to anyone. If a fox leaves its hole, then another fox can come and use the hole.
If a person leaves a space, then another person can come and use that space. That is natural law.
(And no, I don’t mean you can go to work and come home and then someone will be in your house. How do I get you to understand this? )
What I mean is once we allow them to take our land away, then after that point, we are all enemies trying to survive against each other.
Because we need land in order to survive.
Every single human needs space to live.
And there is plenty of space for every single human to grow their own food…
Which would allow every single human to be able to opt out of the entire economy if they wanted to. Not needing to produce or buy and sell to just live peacefully and happily on the earth. Without being a burden to anyone.
You’ve heard about the people who survive on $2 a day?
The reason they can do that is they don’t need money for anything.
They don’t pay rent.
They don’t buy food.
They are completely self-sufficient.
And they work a lot less than you do.
And the people who go visit them tell me they’re a lot happier than any of us.
Once you have to work for the owners, "The people who OWN this country." Then you have to work and pay to keep from drowning.
You have been involuntarily placed within a game of musical chairs that you never asked to play.
And chairs are constantly disappearing.
The people who are living under the bridge are the ones who were unlucky and were left standing when the music stopped.
Meanwhile, many people have two houses or more.
If you own a house that you don’t live in, the message is, "I am going to force you to work and pay me in order to live here."
You have eliminated the possibility of loving community by doing so. For LDS: Zion becomes not possible. "If ye are not one, ye are not mind."
You have placed yourself in a hierarchical position all of a sudden. And it really doesn’t make either of you happy.
The landlord is always worried about getting paid or someone destroying "his" house. Worried about the future: pension, survival.
The renter is always worried about losing their home.
Tons of fear that is completely unnecessary.
What can we do instead?
First of all, just live the golden rule.
Would you like someone to hold back the ability for you to be sheltered unless you pay them every month? If not, then don’t do it to them.
There is a great book called "Engines of Domination". And I love this book because it explains the system that we are in, which is based on violence and how there are many interlocking pieces of this engine and the one he talks about here is called "land holding by force of arms".
Meaning that someone [backed by the state] claims to have our own land, and if you don’t leave it, they’re going to imprison you, and if you resist, they’re going to kill you.
And they do that not because they’re using the land or they want the land for a productive purpose, but because they "own" the land. A completely fictional concept created to enslave you. (This is why you need title searches: because claims are many and varied, and there isn’t actually any inherent truth to any of them.)
So in order for us to be free, all of us have to be free.
How do we decide who lives where after that?
Well, now you get to learn negotiation! You get to learn how power and communication really work.
And we get to create a world that’s not based on violence to hand down to our children as we get all our needs met.
Because the endgame of a world based on violence is exactly what you’re seeing with Epstein right now.
Don’t 'own' what you don’t use.
What you possess, possesses you.
The end result: hundreds of houses and lands in this world.
Why?
Because you are able to build loving community with others and we share and share alike.
Sound good?
