Strike!
To support my writing please stay on the page for at least 30seconds as per mediums policy, I graciously thank you for your time.
Why the Action of Strike?...
We have allowed ourselves to be a movement in time instead of the awareness of time itself, and we are not willing or capable of stopping this action because we have collectively agreed that human existence is so.
Simply put, we are addicts to adding and repetition
As I see it, strike action seems to benefit, protect, and address the workers’ needs, environment, and requirements to continue their work or service.
It also seems to create a purpose for the few who organise and maintain those rights.
The organisers also monitor and oversee the changes in the economy to make sure workers are being paid and supported correctly so they can live and provide for themselves and their loved ones while continuing their job in an ever-changing economy.
All this sounds and looks like the right thing to do. doesn’t it?
Well, that’s just the problem, I will explain under the subheading “Strike”
We do not realise that we are first and foremost beings of light and energy, and we are wearing a space suit called the human body.
We use this suit to interface with form and matter (human existence) to experience touch and sight via our instruments or faculties, which also stimulate the brain and give it a life of its own, called the “mind.”
The mind's Involvement
This life of the mind now creates other faculties called feeling and smell.
The suit can view, feel, or smell a flower, but you can’t be asked what it feels like until the suit has first experienced and collected data on the rest of its surroundings to discover a relationship with the flower.
For example, “The flower feels soft”, An automatic response happens by stating that the flower feels soft; you first need to have an experience of what soft is to give it that identity or relationship.
Or you may reply that it smells sweet, fruity, musky, etc. Again, an experience of what these smells are is needed to establish a relationship.
It is only then that you can give the flower an identity or description.
This, in terms of meditation and the truth, is all that is needed, as looking, touching, or smelling the flower for what it is and not what the mind thinks, is the way to freedom, peace, truth or fulfilment.
So we can be certain of this, seeing that everything we do, think, or say in our suits creates and establishes relationships to give it meaning or substance, adding more fuel to what the problem or the flower is.
On the contrary, everything, everywhere, is always in a constant relationship with one another, and there is no separation or division from any one thing or feeling.
I heard from somewhere that...
“The more difficult something is to understand the more we take for granted that we understand it”.
This is why you hear from many minds of wisdom that human existence is no different from spirituality, but we spend a lot of time and resources designing practices and techniques to understand, engage with, or search for what we already are.
We are like sponges until we are dropped on spilt milk, ketchup, water, etc. We believe and identify with that.
A sponge is much more spiritual and happy than we humans are; it knows nothing, adds nothing, nor does it judge, so it can be dirt, mud, grime, milk, ketchup, etc., or just a sponge, and without asking, it is cleaned to be used again.
The sponge is happy because it accepts what it is and has no worries, concerns, or problems to solve as a result of having no attachment to spilled milk, for example.
We are capable of physically cleaning, but awareness and self-cleaning seem extremely difficult, and they result in the inner mess the sponge is capable of cleaning without physically doing anything.
This is where it may get confusing. When you were a child, you saw, touched, and smelled for the first time, and you had no experience at all of anything, so your faculties were working at their fullest without thought

That being said, they had no other data but the presence of sight, touch, or smell, so the experience of a flower, for example, was like the following terms we use: untouched land, virgin, unfiltered, fresh, organic, raw, untouched beauty, etc.
It’s like our mothers or garandmothers cooking; no matter if a chef can replicate their cooking down to preparation, ingredients, and action, your old factory brain always makes home cooking taste like new every time you taste it.
To continue, the moment after the child is told what a flower is, they no longer see flowers; they see what they were told and now experienced, which results in their thoughts, and now what they think, conclude, or perceive is a result of their past.
Now the untouched has been touched by family, friends, and society and has become processed—a movement, a doing, an action—and not what it actually is.
The flower is now what everyone collectively identifies or believes it is, instead of what it can be
Just like you are not ugly, lazy, poor, fat, stupid, a failure, etc. You are all that you can, will, and want to be.
When there is no concept or content in whatever you do or think, you achieve the result initially intended, “to strike”
“Strike”
After this exploration, I find that we have been made to put content and context into our seeing, activities, actions, and relations.
Hence, we strike or protest with conceptual thoughts, reasoning, beliefs, conditioning, and ideas, which stiffen the original intention and give it no room or energy to be a strike.
If you are going to strike, do exactly that: do not come into work; do not stand outside your place of work with banners asking drivers to honk their horns; do not design or wear colourful clothing to attract support; do not play music, blow whistles, or treat your fight as an event.
Further, do not have the few in your field of work throughout different countries, states, cities, or towns not on strike for administrative purposes, for example.
The problem is clear if you are willing to dive without thought, but it can also be difficult to adapt to your existence.
If the suit is not in use, we feel lost, sad, and confused with no meaning of who or what we are; the mind will translate this into boredom, depression, stress, anxiety, etc
We then ask for help or create establishments and professions that can help or aid our suffering.
Doing nothing makes us feel like we are “doing nothing,” going nowhere, or not progressing, but for how many lifetimes have we done anything and created real change in our world?
We must stop! Stop paying our bills, stop watching Netflix, stop purchasing stuff, stop buying food and grow your own, leave your homes, drop your devices, and live by the land; only then will our fight be heard.
A complete halt to their construction of our human operation of doing is what is needed.
It sounds like a lot, but it is true, and still, we will not sacrifice these things for change.
So we will continue playing on the same field as our controllers, as it seems logical, and they will welcome it because, like it or not, we are playing by their rules on their field, and you can’t make changes or new growth from “unturned” soil.
We must walk away to find, in months or even years, that you, including the wealthy, were more significant than you thought.
Only then can we claim the land as ours to share and bear fruit once again.
When I say the wealthy, I mean the ones who, like me and you, got lost in the material realm and have no clue they are or were being controlled.
And even if they were aware, the human existence of stuff and wonderful experiences was just too tempting, hence a master of, but lost in, the material realm we become.
I conclude
If you want to take strike action, then so will be.
Action is the process of doing, so your family, friends, and acquaintances will continue your fight in years to come, playing on the field owned by our leaders, until you remove the action, the doing, the thinking, and the adding, and just strike! full-stop.
Sending love on your journey.
