ARE YOU LIVING YOUR DREAM?






ARE YOU LIVING YOUR DREAM?

Do you even remember your dream?
The subtle funneling of the American populace into their preordained role of employable workers starts early and is constant.
Schools are especially suited to categorize and train young and autonomous souls into appropriate roles to make them employable. Who can argue that this isn’t a noble societal function? After the graduation ceremony, the enthusiastic young throw their mortarboard caps into the air while shouting with glee and anticipation.


They are equipped for the freedom of a adult life and the ability to shape their lives as they choose. After all, isn’t the pursuit of happiness written into the U. S. Constitution? So this graduating class, having spent the last 12 years competing in the same courses of study with each other, will all investigate their possibilities for employment in their area of expertise, with the Fortune 500 Companies.
After 12 years of a curriculum of study that has been tailored to make the students employable by the Nation’s Corporations, the students now compete for the jobs with the highest pay and best benefits.


Once the happy student has secured the desired position with commensurate pay scale and benefits, the Corporation will take over where the education system left off, in indoctrinating the young employee into appropriate action, thought, and dedication.
Still under intense competition with their contemporaries, the employee’s energy is used into fitting the standards of the Corporation.


School systems, television programs and ads, friendships, and work life, cooperate in herding the individual down the road toward personality and lifestyle homogenization.
When the Corporate world doesn’t need the individual any longer, loyalty is not a value the Corporate Intellects use in determining who goes and who stays.
Often the best Corporate Employee, the person who has dedicated the most time and energy to the Company, is the same person who has neglected their own private interests and propensities. No one can serve two masters; and if you have made the Corporate World your primary master, to the exclusion of your personal interests, you may find that little of your true self remains.


Do you remember your dreams? Do you remember the enthusiasm of graduation day? When is the last time you planned out an original and exciting endeavor of your own--an endeavor that would move you closer to enjoying your own freedom, inclination, and gain.
The Pursuit of Happiness the Founders wrote into the U. S. Constitution seems to be intended for “We the People”. In reality “We the People” seem to have been subverted into “We the Employees” or “We the Corporations”.











How different would America be if the educational systems were in place with the intension of the development of each individual child who enters the system, into the best and most vibrantly ingenious person he/she can be?
Why are we settling for, and bye the way, paying for, anything less?
And what do we do about this now?
The place to start is with oneself. If you can disengage from the material desires that have been implanted in the American psyche by advertising, school systems, and piers, you may remember who you really are.
This is still America, and the U. S. Constitution is still in place. We have the ability of drawing from the Spirit of the legacy left to us by our Founders.
The Founders may have been as interested in securing individual liberty for all, as our system of today is interested in powerful Corporations’ interests.


If you are not in the vanguard of advocacy for yourself, you have no one else to blame.
Americans are the hardest working and most creative and innovative people in the world.If we choose to use this vibrant creativity for the benefit of the Corporate world, this is fine.
But if we have forgotten our birthright, not only of being an American, but also of being a Child of the Universe, it is sad.
The lessons that have been taught to us by our masters can be used to inform us as to our choices for a dynamic future.
We need only remember who we are, and create the life that is possible.
And, how fortunate are we that we have the U. S. Constitution for a protection and guide?
