  Precisely,  Through a steady program of government, religious and
corporate mind control techniques, you have been lulled into the
hypnotic sleep of all who serve a slavery system which unashamedly and
openly uses  exploitive promises of "better and more to come" yet
somehow never does.  A part of you awakens awakens to it and you are
disillusioned, ( Dis---Illusioned=unfulfilled dreams) dissatisfied,
and seek escape through peripheral change rather than coming to the
deep, fundamental core change born of deep selfunderstanding.

  All choice is born of confusion.  If one were not confused through
an educational system which fosters fragmented dualistic thinking
habits, one would be operating in a state of clarity; a state of
non-dualistic, holistic direct perception.

  Understanding comes to one who is  Free.  The sovereign human being
is a clear sighted free man. His freedom comes from   his innocent,
childlike, God given ability of direct holistic  perception.  He is
out of the psychological  loop of the average indoctrinated, civilized
person trained to duty and service to the system..  His "guarantor and
protector"  to  his personal freedom,  is his enduring non-dualistic
clarity  which remainsl untainted despite the early intrusive programs
of mind control whose primary purpose is to control sovereign beings
through  psychologically approved avenues of "polically or religiously
correctness."

  You are the creator of your world. No man, other than yourself can
assume ownership over your personal world  unless you relinquish your
sovereingy in return for empty promises. A free man is not concerned
with the seductions of ownership.  He understands the illusion of
ownership and is not tethered by such peripheral nonsense.

  Forgive me for pointing toward the obvious, but your comments are
those of one who adheres to the limited givens that your personally
serve.  That is what I  meant by slavery in my original article.  We,
individually and collectively are the co-creators of our world. 
As such, we get only what we deserve.  If you want to change your
world, change yourself and the world will follow.  That is the step
out of slavery and into sovereignty. Try It, You'll Like It!
