Hello to all,
I've just joined after reading the first two chapters of "Strawman Story", I'm blown away and need to find like minded folk as I have no idea how to live without money / mammon (having done it all my life), I just don't know what the next step must be but I know I must take that step!
My replies may be slow as I only access internet at a local pub a few times a week as I don't have it at home.
Hope to hear from someone soon,
With love,
Joe
Thank you for your message Joe.
The days of me telling anyone what to do are long over. I can only speak for me and if anyone can find something within that they can use then perhaps it was worthwhile? I try my best to never use words based in ambiguity. Words like hope suggest that something or someone will come to save me or save the collective us and I think we all are the ones to come to our own rescue. It has always been difficult to know the right road to travel when there is a fork at every mile. Life is a choice, I'm not sure how I got to where I am today as I've gone down so many wrong turns but here I am for better or worse?
Regrets ... there are lots of them, everyone has them on various levels. Some of us are consumed by them, and some of us have the ability to let them go. The quote of "life can be better understood by looking backwards, but it must be lived by looking forward" or sumthin to that affect holds true in this circumstance. If I want to entertain what I'd be thinking in my last moments, I would "think" that I'll look back in my life and see many things I could have done differently, I might even have regrets about them? So what? I'll not be around to commiserate about them anymore so perhaps I'll have the wherewithall to look forward to my next chance to live in alignment with Nature ... or not?
No one has all the answers and no one actually knows the exact way to go, at least no one in the flesh? Doing one's best to live life in a way that does the least amount of harm to our surroundings, to others, nature and ourselves might be a good way to be? We can do that right now and I think there wouldn't be much in the way of regrets doing so? Finding like minders is always comforting but no one can live our life for us, we come in alone and leave that way, no one gets outta here alive! I live an isolated life in the countryside, in some ways it's more of an existence than an actual dynamic life, but it is what it is and I've accepted that to a more or lesser degree. I sometimes have thoughts or inclinations of something different but like you my peak was years ago and things continue to get smaller as time ticks on. I still do find comforts and am grateful for everything in life and perhaps that's good enough?
peace,
kelly
Hi Joe,
Thank you for your message and thoughts. I qualify this and anything I have written previously by saying that I don't know anything. The world we live in is a Satanic world, don't be-lie-ve, just look around us now and for many centuries before this time. The idea of a benevolent power, a God or a Creator is one that pretty much all people have or can accept. The idea that something Created all this is really not a stretch for anyone to agree with? From my many decades of reading and researching I can't really find any evidence that shows us that there was a time when everything was perfect, that there was no pain, suffering or killing and everyone always got along?
The idea that Satan is running the show here and has been running it for mellenia, I think is overwhelmingly strong. As we look around we only see death and destruction of our fellow men, women, children as well as our environment and nature (God), we live in a perverse reality. If there was a benevolent entity that Created everything, then where is that Entity? Now, I do think that it is better to go with the idea of a loving and caring Creator, rather than a Satanic entity but the evidence for an evil ruler cannot be denied. If this indeed is the case then we have to consider that everything, and I mean absolutely everything not only in organized society but everything we have ever learned or been taught is a lie. If everything is a lie then we cannot really trust anyone or anything aside from our own learned experience of life?
Mammon at it's core is Satanic, it was written (if we can believe what was ever written) that God is not an admirer of mammon. The Creator, as clint writes is in fact Nature, everything in the natural world is God. Everything made by man is not God and we could say Satanic. While it is very possible to live a natural existence in harmony with our Creator it is something that we have no real experience with. For millenia we have always been taught the ways of Mammon and not the ways of Nature, at least we have never been fully emersed in Nature.
To live a natural existence means to give up and let go of absolutely everything touched or made by Man. It means to let go of everything we have ever known and to start from the begining integrating with Nature, The Creator. This is the most difficult path, it has only been sucessfully navigated by a very select few, like the Christ, Bhudda or perhaps Mohamed figures. That said, it is truly possible, the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. For me, after evaluating it for quite some time it just seems out of reach, it doesn't seem worth it to me? To give up all the so called comforts we all in joy to submitt oneself to so much pain and misery (at least at the beginning) is not worth it at this point in my life.
Perhaps if we taught our children from birth to live in harmony with Nature, The Creator it would be easier to accept because they would not know or at least have a direct experience of the artificial world of Mammon? I do feel that the natural path is the one that we are all here to walk, to walk through the gate that is straight, but for my remaining years I'll just try to be a good man and help others as much as or when I can and perhaps when my time is done and I get another chance and perhaps I'll do it then?
I will end by saying if one communes with others who are willing to sacrifice their existing ways for a new way then it would be much easier. Having others who are of like mind to help each other grow, learn and develop in the ways of Nature (God) would be a path with less obstacles to circumvent?
kind blessings to you,
kelly
Hey Joe,
Welcome ... This is from my perspective and clint or anyone else can please jump in and correct me if I'm wrong. I think many people like me once shared your enthusiasm for this information? After dozens of hours listening to clint's material and reading that entire epic book a couple years ago I was ready to jump in with both feet and get started on changing my life and in the process perhaps help others to do the same?
Like you, "no one" in my experience including clint knows how to live without mammon? It makes sense and is a "nice" idea but unfortunately aside from being impractical, it's next to impossible as long as we all exist inside this Satanic reality and participate in all its comforts.
Clint to his own admission is just a shadow of his former self due to illness that has affected his ability to stay focused and articulate things in the way that he so elequantly did for many years in the past. This site has never been very active and has almost been dormant for many months. You can navigate the comments to see for yourself. I would welcome a way forward but I'm not willing to take the lead and as it turns out it seems like no one else is interested either? If I'm wrong then I stand to be corrected and I would like to consider all possibilities.
peace and kind blessings to you brother!
