Jesus of Malibu

We need a revolution for the Freedom of Mind because we need to fix ourselves before we fix others. A clear mind is a focused mind.

Around the world, there is violence, bigotry, corruption, and lies, and all of it can flood the mind with anxiety and fear. I believe the first step, is to focus on you. Literally, look in the mirror and then reflect on the positive abilities and achievements you’ve made so far. Remind yourself who you really are, what you are capable of, and smile. Be focused on the things you want to change.

To change the world around you, you must start with changing yourself. Look to your friends, or others who share similar interests. The right people will help you. This is how ideas generate movements, and movements become societal transitions.

 As I’ve watched this year roll out, I still question why people are so manipulated to such harsh things. The corrupt police, the lying politicians, the backstabbing ‘mainstream media’, and the continuous wars in the middle east, are all pressuring the weary people. Police take power to demolish lemonade stands outside Washington DC, because organizers do not carry a business permit. Yes, under the ‘rule of law’, you need a permit. However, does that make it right? No one is getting hurt. A majority of the politicians running for President in the U.S., are accepting corporate and lobbyist money. A lot of them do not address the real concerns and problems of the American people. The ‘mainstream media’ has been excluding a very important politician by the name of Ron Paul, who is running for US president. The media’s job is to report on all politicians and news, instead of favoring one candidate over another. Ever since 9/11, the wars in the Middle East have continued to murder innocent civilians and destroy the United States reputation. It is utterly disgusting and it will stop with our action.

I see a strong amount of fear from the American people, because a lot of us pretend to be comfortable inside our own little bubble of life. There are a great number of citizens, who will accept any form of tyranny until the tanks start rolling down their street.  We must face the reality of tyranny, corruption and the need for a revolution.

As I stated before, it must not start on the streets, with guns, and knifes. It should start in the mind. As people began to realize whom they really are, and tell their friends who to fix the real problems, then we will make a better change.

Let’s turn off the television, clear our minds and focus on who we want to be- not who we are told to be. We are human. We are free. We are a collective group, who holds grand talents, abilities, experiences and stories.

I believe we are much more than what the ‘powers that be’ have forced us to believe. With the right educated mind, we can fix these problems.
