What if all I had to prove who I Am is simply I Am Who I Am? The world always wants to know by what authority you do anything. The world wants to see memberships, ID, diplomas, records, possessions. People talk about identity theft. What? How can your identity can be stolen if it is real? The world system doesn't see humans, just ideas, grudges, past records, future promises. The world system sees only ego, never reality. But Reality simply sees I Am Who I Am. I Am Who I Am is the Only Reality. There is nothing else.
On this moneyless path, I used to call myself a "Sannyasi" or a "Sadhu". But it was pretension.
What if the only help or recognition I wanted from people was not because of a name I put on myself, or an office I take on, but simply because I am human, not special above anybody.
What if I refuse to go to war or refuse ownership simply because I Am Who I Am, not because I am a Quaker or Amish or Buddhist or Hindu or Christian? What if you give me assistance, not because I call myself a monk or wear special clothes, but simply because I am human, just like the bag lady pushing her grocery cart?
What if we became as Nature, and our rain & sunlight fell freely, without charge, on both the just and unjust alike, with zero distinction?
I lost my ID last spring, & it brought me new liberation, new understanding - despite all the restrictions (getting harassed by cops, often getting refused use of internet, barred entry through many doors). All I have for ID is I Am Who I Am. Nobody sent me but I Am. There is no other Name Holy under heaven. There is no other way, no other truth, no other life:
I Am Who I Am

whenever someone mentions that we're in a matrix of sorts, the immediate thought turns to the movies and gets laughed off.
our matrix is different, and VERY simple. Each one of us is a person. unfortunately, most of us have NO idea what that really means, because a person and a human being are NOT the same thing. when you're born you are registered (birth certificate), what this is actually doing is creating a fictional legal entity, or a "person". from this point on likely to the end of our lives, we are constantly accepting liability and responsability for this person, in the form of taxes, tickets, laws, statutes, acts, ANYTHING. most people are completely unaware that NO ONE BUT GOD has authority over any of us. read your human rights.
1. All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
that means, we are ALL born free and equal. no one human being has ANY authority over another. the only reason it seems like they do is because of this "person". every country is a corporation, and all of the "persons" are technically employees. this is what gives them the power over you. this is where the "MATRIX" is. we are basically controlling fictional legal entities in a fictional legal world, instead of humans living on a geographical earth.
imagine if we all we aware of this, do you think we would accept responsability for our "persons" anymore? hell no. thus, the many many many rabbit holes of "TRUTH" for poor suckers who really just want to know why everything sucks so bad.
so, why do we have to be a part of this sinking ship?
we dont. you can drop your "person" at any time. are we part of their society? only if we choose to be. a society is a group of people joined together by mutual consent to deliberate, determine and act for a common goal. Notice how there is no mention of geographical area? Being in a certain geographical area might give you the right to join a society, however it cannot create an obligation to join. this means that our current, NAMELESS society's rules and laws have no effect on a human being, if one so chooses to drop their legal fictional identity and become a human being again.

Scientologists pay taxes, the organization of Scientology doesn't. (in America, anyway) Same as Protestants or Muslims or anyone else.
The difference is that the organization is what I'd call an easily offendable mean-spirited litigious cult that tries to destroy the lives of it's detractors; some would go as far as to call it evil.

You have no idea about what the OP is speaking. Listen: It's not about the practical aspect of life, it's about the ideal concept of life. "Ideal" means: not necessarily can you achieve it by the means you have today. Not necessarily, but possibly.
You, in contrast, speak all the time about WHAT ONE CAN DO UNDER THE PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCES. What happens today, if one does this and that. What can you achieve, WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF PRESENT SITUATION [capital letters used, so you eventually listen].
But, i assume, the OP was talking about how YOU MAY BE ABLE TO ALTER the present boundaries.
I assume it is impossible for you to think of a scenario, that functions with different rules (!!) than the present scenario. But, let me tell you, if you take the time to study a bit, you will learn that the rules did change MANY times in history. Eventually you will see, that it only APPEARS to be unlikely, that the rules might change. But it is not
[By the way: English is not my motherlanguage.]

why do things "suck so bad"? is it because you choose not to take initiative and change your life?
if you dont want to pay taxes, you can move somewhere where you can avoid any taxes. but then, you wont have the benefits that you take advantage of every day.

the problem with this idea, i think
is that your thinking in the world in idealistic terms
where in reality, the government doesnt follow laws or virtues
the govt does what it wants , when it wants
and if you dont like it, well they ARE the law and they MAKE IT UP as they go, so whatever they say is the rules
and if you resist you will be shot
no arguement you can make will ever change that, im sorry
