If I Ruled the World...

I was lying in bed this morning and lovely random thoughts starting floating in my mind. One thought led to another and I had all these ideas in my head about the kind of world I'd love to live in. I started going through an imaginary list of things. I'm not sure how some of these things would be implemented but the sheer idea feels lovely to think. If I ruled the world...

 First, I'd start by feeding people properly...

• Good food would be more accessible and less expensive. 
• Certain additives would be banned, as well as genetically modified foods. Many of the things in the American food supply are so unhealthy, they're banned in Europe. Even worse, many food companies are also chemical companies. The corporate bigwigs would probably NEVER eat the food they push to the general public. They're like drug dealers who supply drugs they'd never ever try. 
• Organic and locally grown foods would be highly encouraged. People would be educated on how to properly feed their children and families.  What's really sad is that most obese people have no real idea as to why they're obese. Of course they know they shouldn't eat certain foods but they're completely uninformed of healthier alternatives. Some people have no idea why little girls are growing breasts at the age of 9. Some aren't even aware that what you put in your body creates a chemical reaction with the potential to alter your mood, mental stability, mental health, and even the ability to reproduce. With that being said, anyone can see that there's the potential to control people with food the same way some governments control the impoverished with debt. 

Next, I'd educate people...

• Basically, education would be free. 
• Students shouldn't have to go into debt just to receive an education of somewhat antiquated knowledge that is sometimes useless by the time they graduate. Later in this post you'll see how I feel about debt and how it controls.  
• Of course people have to want to be informed or educated. I think this desire can be created. The sensationalism used to create hype about pointless things that don't enhance our lives could also be used to create hype about things that do. Instead of hyping celebrities or trends we'd hype education, information, and things that actually improve our standard of living. 
• News and media would expose the truth. Right now, there are about 3 major news conglomerates that control, filter, and censor the news before it reaches us. They basically let us know what they want us to know. Many times it's not the entire truth. A lack of news also allows certain governments to commit atrocities against other nations. They can create news and stories that make us look like saviors or victims when really we're possibly destroying or victimizing. America lives in a blissful bubble of ignorance about other cultures and countries. Many Americans believe we live in the greatest country on Earth. It's a silly opinion because most of us have never even been to another country. And taking a cruise to the Bahamas doesn't count...
• Traveling would be highly encouraged. You learn about life and compassion when you learn about other people and cultures. It's easy to hate or judge someone you don't know...

Money wouldn't matter...

• To rid the world of poverty, I'd probably get rid of the monetary system. Most impoverished countries owe a ridiculous debt to another country. If you really think about it, poverty means someone's life is less important than money. It means they can't afford the resources they need to live. Wanna know why our current system doesn't work?....
  • Poverty can be considered a form of warfare, control, or theft. You can control or keep a country submissive by withholding food and medical care. This is very profitable for wealthy countries who'd like to take advantage of the natural resources of poorer countries. If you keep a man hungry or sick, he or she has little or no time to fight for civil or basic human rights. They also have no time to educate themselves or evolve as people. 
  • The monetary system also breeds and encourages corruption and greed. As long as money exists...people, politicians, votes, laws, and rights can be bought.
  • The current monetary system will ALWAYS leave someone in debt. In order for our monetary system and economy to work, someone usually owes someone else. Banks make money by loaning money to people who don't have money. Sometimes banks loan money they don't even have. The system creates an imaginary supply and charges interest on it. Debtors are basically paying to use something the creditor never really had. 

Healthcare would actually heal and be accessible...

• Pharmaceutical companies would have a complete overhaul. I think the scientists are useful but need redirecting. Instead of creating medicine from chemical compounds that have serious side effects, they'd research botany and use that knowledge to heal people. 
• We'd discover ways of diagnosing imbalances within the body due to a lack of certain vitamins and minerals. It's my belief that many of the foods we eat today are creating the imbalances that allow certain diseases and illnesses to manifest. For example, consuming meat can compromise the pancreas. When the pancreas is weakened, cancer can exist within the body. Not eating meat is one reason a vegetarian is less likely to manifest cancer. 
• Alternative forms of medicine would be available and people would be aware of its existence and availability. Reiki, energy work, distance healing, hypnotherapy, massage, acupuncture, herbs, Chinese medicine, sound healing, chakra balancing, meditation, yoga, homeopathy, and nutritional based therapies would all be forms of legitimate medicine. People would be encouraged to seek healing from these forms of treatment first. Traditional medicine would be an untraditional last resort. 
• "Doctors" would be people who actually love to heal. They'd actually ask people about their personal lives and emotional states when deciding a plan of action for healing. 
  • Many people are sick or ill from emotional issues that cause energy blockages within the body. I know about this first hand. In the same way that too much stress can cause heart problems, another emotional state of being can create an illness. For example, many women with reproductive issues usually have suppressed emotions or creative blocks. Some women who live an affluent lifestyle but don't feel they're getting the love or attention they deserve develop a specific set of illnesses as well. Basically, the propensity to develop an illness isn't totally attributed to genetics and DNA. Some develop illnesses because of the environment in which they were raised or certain cultural beliefs and practices of a particular group of people. 

Religion would not exist ...

• A lack of religion will allow people to truly develop a relationship with the Creator without fear. People will be able to take back their creative power. I don't mean creative in an artistic sense, I mean creative in the sense of building the lives we want to live. This is something I'm still practicing. Imagine if people felt worthy and powerful in divine sense. This planet would be amazing! We wouldn't have to put our faith in a middleman (preacher, pastor, reverend, bishop) to reach God or the source. We wouldn't have to go to church to learn something we already know. We wouldn't have to go to church to be convinced of something that isn't entirely true. In our core, in our hearts, deep in our soul...we can feel when something isn't right. I felt it as a child when adults made up illogical beliefs and concepts. It literally made my stomach hurt. 
• Fear and control would be greatly reduced. Control comes in the from of rules and "commandments" activated by fear. Don't have sex, refrain from drinking certain things, don't do this, and don't do that. Cover your hair with this, pray 5 times a day facing a certain direction, give the church 10% of your income, make the preacher rich, don't forget to go to church, do some hail Mary's, baptize your children so they don't go to hell, and don't forget to cut off the foreskin from your son's penis immediately after he's born! What the hell!? I love sex (orgasms are actually healing), I drink fermented beverages, instead of tithing I donate to a non profit, I don't go to church and I love men with uncut penises! I'm still a lovely person. I love life and this planet. I feel close to a divine source and I don't fear what's to come after my soul leaves this temporary body. It's liberating.
• The number of wars and lives lost due to religion is probably unfathomable. Religious beliefs have young men attaching bombs to their bodies and blowing up buses filled with innocent people. Religious beliefs allowed Southern Christians to justify hanging negroes from trees. Some call it blind faith.  
• Believing we need religion to establish and teach morals greatly undermines our potential and capacity to be decent human beings. We can be respectful, law abiding people without biblical commandments. After all, most atheists aren't murderers while some religious people have taken the lives of many in the name of God.

And last but not least, the Planet would be respected...

• This particular feat isn't last because of its importance. It's last because in order for people to really understand the importance of our survival as a species on this planet, all the aforementioned things need to be a common practice. People need to have access to food, medicine, education, and their own God given power for this planet to survive. It's hard to care about the planet when you're starving, sick, or living a life full of fear and lack. 
• Other forms of life would be respected. Cutting down rainforests simply wouldn't happen. Cutting down huge areas of trees for new shopping malls and parking lots would be carefully considered and scrutinized. But, given how fabulous my world would be, there would be very few shopping malls and parking lots :) After all, the need to constantly consume and purchase things we don't really need is sometimes a symptom of an emotional need or void. 
• Oil production wouldn't be such a production. I believe humans are smart enough to harness and use cleaner sources of energy. Cleaner sources exist but people aren't sure how to capitalize on them. So what happens? We continue to use what isn't really working because someone figured out how to make it profitable. 
• Abundant forms of energy would be utilized. Solar, wind, tidal wave, and geothermal energy are in such abundance its kinda ridiculous that we're not using them on a larger scale. They don't deplete and these resources are so abundant and could create so much supply that one would be led to believe that money would no longer be necessary...
• Imagine a world without currency. People work for money. If you didn't have to work, what could you create? How much time could you spend raising your family? You could travel, learn, and meet difference people from different places. People could gather and discuss ways of advancing life and technology. What kind of art would this world see? Some assume that if people didn't work, they'd sit around and be lazy bums. I disagree. If you consider a world with all the things I just mentioned, I think most people would be enlightened enough to want to contribute to the evolution of this planet in a meaningful way. Doing menial tasks that you don't enjoy just to obtain a made up currency is draining. It depletes a person of vital energy they could be using to create and bring ideas into physical form. How many people are brilliant but lack the resources, tools, or knowledge needed to benefit the world with their ideas or creations? The idea that money creates abundance is one of the biggest illusions of the entire human experience. In fact, I think money has done just the opposite. For most of the population, it creates invisible barriers that allow control, limitations, and slavery without chains.

I know these ideas seems outlandish and ridiculous for some. But, I think most are possible. If we collectively believe in something, it's entirely possible. The human mind is malleable and impressionable. If Hitler can justify and convince millions that a certain race of people shouldn't live, imagine the opposite. People could be convinced of lovely concepts that enhance life. We could change the way we live, think, believe, and grow.
