I have to admit that I haven't read this all the way through thoroughly, not yet. I saw where it was heading and my eyes began to burn, and I had to stop just to say -No, please don't go! You're right, we haven't had the time to know each other yet. And it is for the dozens of people I have met like you that I am here. From the bit I skimmed, I can't argue with your assessment, not as far as the monetary base, nor the structure of control.
Your current belief system, much like my own, is that we incarnate many times into this place as we essentially climb the ladder of enlightenment in order to achieve the highest that is possible in this realm, to learn all that we are capable of learning, to become as near to one hundred percent empathic to those around us as this plane allows. And also like me you believe that there are people experiencing all different levels upon this journey right here and now. Some just beginning, some in the middle, some nearing completion.
If that is truly what you think, then I have to ask "How could you ever imagine utopia is possible here?" What I mean is, if those that are ego based because just like small children they really don't know any better, are even simply equal to the amount of those who have risen above this state, we are going to have these types of divisions, of 'class distinctions' into perpetuity here on this earth. What we have at this particular time in history that they didn't for thousands of years (if that's accurate) is the ability to connect with those that are at the same level on this journey. And where are you going to find them Tony? How will you find them?
Forget the monetary issues and the social structures, for me it has been worth every moment I've spent these many months just to have met your brother, let alone the couple dozen others who are of like mind, who actually understand me, who I can have a conversation with about all of the things you're talking about without their eyes crossing. To know that my husband and I are not as alone as we thought we were. I don't know how old you are, but my guess would place you a good ten to fifteen years younger than me. And if there's one thing I can give you from those years of experience--if you find a place that has three people you can name in such short amount of time who are on a similar wavelength, taking that for granted and walking away is a mistake.
Because out there in the world finding them is like finding needles in haystacks.
I'm not saying you should make steemit your life, it makes little sense for you to do that with how you feel. But it also makes little sense to ditch it all together. There is no reason why it has to be an all or nothing situation. And the very plain truth is, you are not going to find the place you appear to be looking for as long as your spirit is trapped in this body on this plane. It cannot exist so long as there are so many others who have not come to that place of 'knowing'. And I"m not sure it can ever exist here, on this plane period. I lean heavily towards no.
That may sound negative or pessimistic, but my conclusions are not based on those things. I am about as far from negative and pessimistic as it's possible to be in this world, and it is not this terrible thing it may come across as, it is the reality of the world in which we live, but what you may have yet to understand is that your individual journey is what ultimately matters. None of this exists without you being here.
The best we can possibly hope for when we are this far along in the 'play' is to find others like us, not just to know that we're not alone, but also because if we can gather in numbers we can affect others journeys, people who might be on the precipice of that next rung who need us. Or we might find those that are a rung ahead that we might need.
If we lived in a world full of people who thought as we do, believed as we do, a world where people said "What can I do for you brother?" Instead of "What's in it for me?" Only then would it be possible for you to find what you're looking for, but in that case you wouldn't even have to look, it would be all around you.
Because this is a blockchain, and from my understanding of what that means, everything that is written here will remain here, a vast library for the generations to come. THAT is why it matters. If it is possible to have Heaven on Earth, first of all the only way that's possible is if we're all doomed to repeat until everyone has reached that ultimate state. Going with that theory, then there couldn't be anything more important to leave behind then conversations like these. But even if it's not that way, (which I tend to think it's not) even if we simply reach that last level possible in this realm and after we die we then ascend to the next place (this is where I lean in my current level of understanding) it is still important for those who are coming up behind us, for those who are on that journey up the ladder, to have things such as this to help them on their way. Just as books and articles I've read have helped my journey, some written by people long gone from this earth.

In truth I have so much to say about this, it isn't possible for me to do it all in this one comment. But if nothing I've said will sway your decision, then at the least write down this email-- [email protected]. And maybe you and I continue to speak.

I barely know you, but my spirit feels as if that's not quite true, that perhaps we were friends, maybe even family in another incarnation. So I'll wrap this up with all my love and the sincerest well wishes for the remainder of your time as Tony on this plane.
