Simple Life | Simply Living!
• This Life Is Not Even About This Life!
All humans abiding under the Messianic Cross, exist in a new state; we are driven powerfully by the Indwelling Holy Spirit; we are infused with YHVH
Love; we are greatly humbled; we are made supernaturally wise, basking in that eternal and deeply bonded relationship. From that new creation state, we become much more focused on things that have eternal meaning, than on the perishing temporal, which becomes evermore a distraction to, rather than a meaning for, life and living.
Our
Spiritual brothers, via Scripture, invite us to be researchers (
1Th 4;
2Ti 2 & 3); to not only be those who can rightly translate Scriptures themselves, but to possess the wisdom to interpret the sum of corporeal life itself. As researchers, we can show ourselves approved by our Holy Maker, by how we live, and how we live, is abased upon YHVH Love, as it manifests itself in this life, via lifestyle choices. The tree is indeed, known by the visible fruit it bears!
Freedom, for example, is almost never about liberty or justice or fairness; freedom is almost always about sin. The freedom paradigm is a curse, but most humans prefer Satan and thus the demons within them. Those demons push them; the results of that gentle but persistent pushing, can be measured outwardly, like fruit thriving on the tree (
Matt 7), and it is this observable evidence that Messiah Yeshua, instructed us disciples to look for. Use your eyes, not your ears!
The neighbor–hating, mammon–serving, liberty–exploiting, anger–conquered, anti–Messianic individuals (
Mark 12;
Luke 16;
1Co 8;
Gal 5;
1Pe 2;
2Pe 2), cannot so much as fathom the sum of Love, much less does
Love shape their very existences. They are driven and shaped by their true lord, money, and thus other humans are their enemies who exist only to be converted somehow into money and/or opportunity. All kindness shone is just fake caring for the sake of lord Mammon: just challenge their lord
Mammon and watch what they do and/or say.
These people probably believe humanity exists in the universe, only for the hoarding (and thus power) of the USD, and so, everything they do and think, all center on that terrifyingly superficial and cold reality: The evidence of that is found in the content of self–justifications. Trapped in this culture and this system, which is nowadays planetary, dealing with such people is why secular law must be employed.
All Love–conquered individuals can only do what Love commands from within; the supreme Law of Love (do unto others what you would want done unto you, and so on), whereas the Loveless masses have to be forced to do so, but from without, via enforcement. Therefore, we respect that system, even if those who operate them are Spiritually eternally doomed (
1Pe 2).
Looking at attention–hunger or attention–seeking behavior (or disorder); this is the easiest and biggest fruit to see, because it is brazen. Think noisy things; fast things; big things; smelly things; anything attention–getting. The
Car Cult is an excellent example of many of these combined; Satan uses the internal trinity of pride–ego–emotion, to manipulate his people.
Satans Earthly Trinity Is Economics & Politics & Religion! So Satan does all his earthly deeds, via humans only, by way of these (internal & external) triune mechanisms.
These
Mammon centered conflicts have plagued the business models of the government–owned versus the privately–owned, for centuries globally. The belief that the "free market" can do better than anything government–owned is true, within the exploitative free–market systems, and we (today) are witnesses to both sides of it, all the time.
Governmental businesses will face the reality of paying a living wage, but more than just a high wage, a really good compensation package, like we see with union versus non–union workers today. As
Tekton, I can declare that a union carpenter makes about 3 times what a non union carpenter makes. But it is not all within the wage itself; the compensation packages include insurances and retirement pension as well.
"Free market" capitalists want the legal power to exploit workers so they can make untold millions of dollars in the doing. It is the mental illness or sickness of greed! If their competition pays their workers a high living wage package, they can get all the business by exploiting workers, and thereby charge lower prices, then build all the stores, shuttering the government–owned, and make untold millions doing it: Capitalism! The summary of US Economics!
The problem is systemic; the legalized ability to scam millions of dollars from the citizenry in this way, is the only real problem. Wealth–mongers cannot imagine a world where they cannot con more monies from the citizenry than is needed for basic needs, because they are not normal people.
And rather than getting them psychological help to determine why they think they need a million dollars a month to survive on, they are instead allowed to roam freely in society; hence their focus on freedom, which really means they get the freedom to exploit and to destroy. Wealth hoarding surely goes beyond hideously poor money or resource management skills; this is a mental illness.
In a merciful society, led only by highly intelligent and thoughtful leadership who are guided by sound living principles, which are determined by the natural world more than by human opinion, guardrails would be set under that paradigm. That system would prevent exploitation, institutionalize those who hunger–lust for way more resources than are needed for a healthy planet,
"Free Market" Capitalism is more about regulation–free or loose economic ethics; the "freedom" to exploit one another monetarily. Obviously it is not sound, and will (as it always has) lead to the exploitation of humans over humans, and from there,
Social Stratification and every injustice that creates and allows. But, if you are among the humans who hunger–lust to exploit other humans for personal gain, and/or for societal power, then you will (unnaturally) side with Capitalism. To be equal to others is absurd to all gods!
The Spiritually bankrupt and thus
Darkness destined masses, will of course, side with whatever gives them power. As little gods, they see themselves always, as supreme beings, who are of a higher quality than those others; they are worthy of more; they are more righteous and good; they expect from all of this, to be treated with entitlement and privilege, over all the other
not–like–me people.
In a Just society, Satans people would be defiant, frustrated, anger–driven, and thus confrontational. They will demand to do as they please; they have their ego to serve and obey, and anyone who tells them not to do the things that feed their starving ego, they will be bitten. This evil state also explains
antisemitism for the first chosen of YHVH; Satans religious people specially hate them.
The consequences of this rebellion and defiance, is literally, all life on Earth. The entire Car Cult is one horrifying display of Satans human masses, bringing about the Eschaton Era, and soon, the prophesied cataclysms of Apocalyptic Armageddon; the heat wave of the Big Burn! Sudden destruction indeed!
First By Water Then By Fire! And it has begun! What we are witness to, is a supernatural (indeed paranormal) push to bring about the Big Burn; things are indeed escalating. Satans people are supernaturally blinded to their own actions, and that includes christians too; they can even be worse. It is a pandemic of demon addiction; a Satanic Stockholm Syndrome.
In the meantime, before it becomes irreversible, the desperation to get noticed by others, to feed that ever–hungry (damaged) ego, is summarized in the
Car Cult. They can be loud; they are fast; they are big; they are dangerous; they are worshiped! And it is all these things that Satans people hunger–lust for the most. To govern anything that would regulate this destruction, will be (and is) met with defiance and opposition.
The Lord knows how to deliver the righteous out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto their Day of Judgment, to be punished: But chiefly them that walk after the flesh, in the lust of uncleanness, and despise being governed. They are also presumptuous; self–willed; they are not even afraid to speak evil of celestial {incorporeal} beings. (2Pe 2:9–10)
Submit yourselves to every human institution, for The Lord's sake, whether it be to a king as supreme, or unto governors, like them that are sent for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. For so is the will of Elohim, that with well doing, you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: As free, not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of Elohim. Honor all people; Love the brethren; respect the Emperor! Servants, be subject to your bosses with all diligence; not only to those good and gentle, but also to the
froward. (1Pe 2:13–18) {cf.
Rom 13}
For, brethren, you have been called unto liberty; only, do not use liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by Love serve one another. For all the Torah is fulfilled in one statement, and it is this: You shall Love your neighbor as yourself! (Gal 5:13–14) {cf.
Lev 19:18}
A real
Spiritual life always results in a truly minimalist lifestyle, because we Messianic disciples know all too well, why we are here. But this is not about living in a cold wet cave laboring half naked by candlelight. Such fictional images aside, this is about living in such a way, where and when ever you are at, as the basis of true living contentment, which is not possible for long, when one is faking it or just experimenting. Living humble, volitionally, is just the natural outcome of being humble.
What is laughable, are modern westernized consumerists, building websites or speaking about minimalist lifestyles, after they have consumed more natural resources in any given month, than most humans did over entire lifetimes. An average American family will consume more resources in 7 decades, than the sun of the entire global human species did between 5000 to 4000 BC; more every few years than any European castle king did in a lifetime. From this context, for car owners to even try to utter ideals about a simple living lifestyle paradigm, is moronic at best.
Still, assigning words to things does not magically make those things real or measurable; yea, scientific. But
Simple Living is also not simple math; the number of things possessed is not the point. We who live contently under the Messianic Cross, would be uncomfortable with too much, and would not accept the responsibility of a large sum of money (e.g. an inheritance or winning). However, the wealth hungry (masses) live for money; they are indeed, devout
Mammon servants. To know the parable is critical: The tree is known by the fruit it bears!
This is equally true of those who claim to be minimalists and/or simple living advocates. It is not necessarily who they are; it is just something they try; it is just sampling an alternative lifestyle. It is not why they live and breathe. Most people are low income earning consumerists who have acquiesced to this reality, and are now trying to find a way to live with less tribulation.
This fact can be observed everywhere. Nevertheless, true simple living is to simply live: To be freed of the bondage of blind
Enculturation! Simple living is true freedom. The
Car Cult is itself, the overwhelming evidence of an extremely complex lifestyle; the opposite if simple living; the apex of destruction. There is no such thing as a car owning environmentalist; that is a
pseudoenvironmentalist.
The Car Cult is only about ego and emotions; there is no logic or reason for any of it. To be blunt; every intelligent person will see no need for one; they squander nonrenewable natural resources and they are dangerous; all cars are dangerous, but the big and/or loud ones are more so, and to achieve what?
Attention seeking behavior is physical evidence of mental illness; and mental illness is often a symptom of Spiritual depravity over time.
People can simply and easily chose an entirely different way to live on Earth, but the problem is, the masses are inhuman and are drones; they either lack the mental capacity to be more than life–long copy machines, or, they are indifferent (Loveless) and will do whatever they want to do, and to hell with the consequences, even to their own current and future progeny. That is Loveless for sure, but it is more; it is malevolence; it is sinister; it is Satanic! (inhuman = Loveless and thus unnatural; fallacious; dehumanized; psychopathic; sociopathic; inhumane; immoral; unethical; carnal/primal; greed–driven).
We as a species, must and should, identify such humans among us, and institutionalize them, not weaponize them with money and cars and guns and such, under the guise of
pseudo–freedoms (or the
cult of freedom). Otherwise we will end up with a completely insane society: We will doom ourselves! Indeed we already have; welcome to the Eschaton Era! Among homo sapiens, humans have all but been replaced with/by the inhuman masses.
• The UnEconomics Of Volitional Service & Volunteerism!
(Back)
Imagine a parent charging their children for virtually everything. They keep receipts of all they buy for their children, so they can get repaid as soon as that child can get their own money. They charge rent; they charge fees for cooking, cleaning, and any other act on the child's behalf, where time was spent. After all, time is money to the capitalistic! Whenever I mention this ditty, the first responses are how ludicrous this is. But minutes later when talking about a moneyless society, those same people cannot fathom how that is possible; then I tie the two ideas together for them: Even then they are stumped! Why?
Because, simply put, they are not members of the human family; they are not One with YHVH and all that YHVH created. In their world it is everyone for themselves! They are imprisoned in Satans world. The separation they feel, and must live within, is due to the dormancy of their eternal Soul; some might argue that they simply do not have a Soul at all.
The Soul or no Soul debate is for another time and work; my personal conclusion thus far, is that all get one, as it provides an awareness far beyond what brain chemistry can do. But if I am wrong, or another variation of this emerges, that too might explain their complete disconnect.
Many Messianic disciples who live near to (secular)
Homeless people, notice during our interactions with them, that even they do not live a voluntary simple or minimalist lifestyle. If they had the money, they too would have as many things, and the lifestyle complexities, which impacts everyone else in the greater population. They are just the money–dependent money poor.
All
conspicuous consumption is gluttony and addiction, which are fruits of Lovelessness, which is proof of Spiritual vacuity. But then, there are those who go through phases in life; they will shed themselves of all possessions (just put it in storage), take a backpack and hit the proverbial or literal open road. Others who are also slaves to money and to consumerism, will just own or buy less things than others around them.
And while these can be good things, that is not minimalism or a simple living lifestyle. This can be known by measuring the level of
chronic stress; measuring peace and daily contentment. Scientifically, blood samples can measure
cortisol levels recorded on a regular basis over a few years; that would reveal much. Another
key to longevity is to avoid toxic people.
The deeper psychology for those, not living daily under the Messianic Cross, must be seen within their carnal/primal roots, which all humans are born into: E.g.
Hoarding behavior is similar to mammals stocking winter food or bears gorging for hibernation. There is a mammalian carnal/primal explanation for (at least) the predilection to hoard things. But transcending all that is (in part) why we are here, and in this form.
We were designed to
Labor; our bodies produce hormones that give us the energy to do so. When we switched from a labor society to a sedentary society, wherein fossil fuels is the energy source, rather than calories, something strange happened to the human body, as well as the planet collective. The words "pent up energy" comes from this leftover energy that has been generated by the calories, now consumed in excess, and cannot be merely poured out, and so they must be spent somehow. Today much of it is burned emotionally, mostly in the form of anger and resentment; the rest is stored as fat, and if left long–term is damaging.
The carnal/primal are in competition mode always; it does not matter if they are churched or not; religious or not; educated or not! They cannot think or live outside of the tiny box of their
Enculturation and the subsequent cultural mimesis, which (now) always includes us–against–themism, competition, competitivism and comparisonism.
Therefore, the not–like–me people are always opposed, and always viewed negatively. Conversely, the Elect of YHVH look upon all the creation of YHVH as precious, even the anti-Messianic and sinister masses. I Love you, reader, even though I can still dislike your lifestyle, or your destructiveness to self and/or to others.
But YHVH is merciful always; no one will be required to participate in the many Kingdoms of YHVH (occupiable planets for one). Most humans will share the Abyss of outer
Darkness with Satan and all the other fallen angels (demons). They will be given all consideration in their eternality, including an end of their existence, if they so choose.
But YHVH is building a volitional family of Saints, from this human experiment; awaiting those who volition to be servants of The Lord; to be YHVH Angels; to be the hands of Adonai our precious Elohim; to serve in the vast expanse of the Cosmos for infinity. But no living
soul–endowed being will be forced to be or do anything.
Those who demand their freedom will get it; the Abyss is massive beyond comprehension. But like a convicted pedophile, they cannot be given power over other innocent beings; they cannot have a body nor any ability to get onto any of the other planets of YHVH. This is why they will be cast into outer Darkness; not for the punishment of sin; all sin debt has been paid for already, upon the Messianic Cross; every sin act. The separation chasm is to protect the innocent. The separation is what will make it hellish.
For all Messianic disciples; we live by a higher calling, and get our directives from the
Messiah Scriptures: In this particular topic, that would be
Matthew 5 thru 7.
To live simple is primarily to avoid dependencies; not to be at addiction level, when it comes to our daily needs. Would you suffer or starve without a grocery store? If so, then your very physical survival depends upon humans: You are compromised. Addicts are deeply dependent upon those who supply their drug of choice. Conversely, our Master taught us an entirely different Earth life, (again) in Matthew 5 thru 7 specifically, but elsewhere too.
People still trapped in the tiny shoebox of their blind
Enculturation, cannot see past their proverbial noses. This fact is witnessed in what I call the funnel effect; it is all, a monkey–see–monkey–do, copy–mimic–parrot, automaton–drone, exhibition of blind enculturation. The particular funnel being referred to here ― based on the fact that the automatons can only follow the other automatons or the blind leading the blind ― is the road or street funnel. And it is cars that are being funneled.
The
Car Cult masses just blindly drive where ever the street takes them: Into grocery stores, restaurants, malls, and every other roadside shop and business that the builders and profiteers of the Car Cult, tells them to go, just like rats in a maze, and the comparison is so real, with mammals obeying obstacles (frankly speaking) set–up by higher thinking beings.
Conversely, and whenever it is possible, all Messianic disciples eat at/from home; we do not eat out unless we cannot prepare food in advance for whatever reason. Eating out is certainly not a sin, but we wish to honor the
Temple by having as much control over what goes into our bodies as possible, and, because it is always less expensive to eat from home, where we grow or buy single ingredient foods that are prepared by us.
This lifestyle also prevents unneeded travel. So many people enslaved within the Car Cult, maim and kill one another, over going from point A to B to A, just to buy food they should grow, or worse, just to entertain themselves. But this is just physical evidence supporting the fact that they only care about themselves, and they only care about what others like them, think of them, explaining why they take such incredible risks, for such frivolous results.
Keep in mind the reasons behind all socialization; for us Messianic disciples, we are fully aware of the psychology and biology of mating; of perpetually increasing the mating pool for available mates to procreate with. This is an unconscious motivation for the Spiritually blinded masses. Science is correct to observe this behavior, but they stop at a certain point in their understanding of it all; after all, they are driven by it too.
Socialization is just unconscious peacocking, but even to the Science world, that aspect is attenuated to be something more psychological than biological in nature. But this is a primal and natural drive; the goal of YHVH in allowing this method of replication to endow the many mammalian species, was evidently a part of a much bigger plan than just replication or procreation alone, on a lone planet in the middle of know where, and for no reason at all.
For the purposes that are understood by the Elect of YHVH ― a small fraction of the human species by the way ― we are to observe and to learn; doing so is not just a good idea, it is an expectation (
1Th 4;
2Ti 2 thru 4). Avoiding it could lead to sin–evil that we may not be aware of, and Love compels us mightily never to go that way.
Therefore, we do not focus on (or care about) all the things that the atheists, the other religious, and the
anti-Messiahs, all collectively focus upon; the here and now; to monkey–see–monkey–do, the society around them now. To make
Mammon the center of our world. The dedication to such blind enculturation is the proof of
Spiritual blindness, but do not try to tell them that! Pride–ego–emotion owns them; Satan is their only god and guide.
Satans Earthly Trinity Is Economics & Politics & Religion! And it is religion that YHVH abhors most among them. Religion is the compromise unto the Cross; the distraction from Messiah Yeshua. Religions are historically known for being sympathetic to whatever culture they exist within as
Mammon servants. They allied with the Nazi's during Hitlers reign; they are allies with capitalists in the modern West; they yoke with the political world, worse even than the Pharisees did with the Roman Imperialists. They wave the flag of whatever the donor–base demands of them. Rather than transforming cultures with the Messianic Cross, they easily collapse under the weight of their money dependency.
Participating in the
Car Cult would (by itself) represent the most complex and dangerous of any lifestyle, ever lived by humanity. Simple living centers around
conscientiousness: It is to be aware and
conscience of how all ones life and lifestyle decisions impact others. It is to desire and seek
efficiency over what appeals to vanity or ego or emotions.
I use/own low–end electronics; I take advantage of all the extensive no–fee offerings of my local Public Library. I use shipping and home delivery of everything, over driving to pick up things one at a time. I move myself all year with an
e–scooter, or the City Bus, or I just walk. I also have a
RideShare App if needed for emergencies, being trapped in a car cultists dystopia.
Almost anyone can live this way in any urban or suburban or rural setting. Just pick places that are efficient and that has routes (bike/scooter and/or bus) that allow safe travel, car–free, year round. If you have children and you
Love them, you cannot and will not raise them in the secular parts of North America. See the Youtube video:
Why We Won't Raise Our Kids in Suburbia of North America.
These six things YHVH
abhors; yea, and the seventh is an abomination unto YHVH: A proud look; a lying tongue; hands that shed innocent blood; a heart that devises wicked imaginations; feet that are swift in running to mischief; a false witness who speaks lies; and
{7} those who sow discord among the brethren. (
Pro 6:16–19). The crap generators!
