Have you been conned out of your dreams?

What about all the people who were conned out of their dreams?

F-22 Raptor. Program cost:US$65 billion.
Unit cost: US$137.5 million (2008 flyaway cost).


And how exactly how does this happen?

There used to be a book called World Military and Social Expenditures, which demonstrated that by a factor of about 20 to 1, our society spends its money on the military; that is, on manufacturing death. Can you imagine how much in the way of art, food, health care and humanitarian aid you could get for $8 billion per month (our current Iraqi and Afghan war budgets, not including the normal military budget)? **!!!* There is something here about cash flow, and something about our values as a society. Both of these guide our consciousness in the direction of both military values and budgets; we all have to pull our weight to support this incredible outpouring of energy, which basically goes nowhere; and in truth these are not the things that most people love.

To get here, we all go through an indoctrination process, mostly in school, that guides our feelings and experiences in the direction of giving up creativity, curiosity and passion and adopting another set of values
set of values.Our parents rarely help us become who we want to be. They are occasionally supportive but I’ve spent most of my astrological career deprogramming people from the negativity of parents toward the true desires of their kids, who often become dissatisfied adults often wondering where their lives went.

The people who survive this multiple level indoctrination with some of their values and authenticity intact find themselves in a world extremely difficult to harmonize with. If you then look at the modes of ‘creativity’ that are rewarded in the world — a quick run through the cable television channels will reveal that — you see that it has nothing to do with authenticity. I just stumbled into an atrocity called Paris Hilton’s My New BFF, which is so vicious and grotesque I won’t even comment on it further.

There is one last thing: the ability to explore and express yourself yourself some species musician, actor, artist, and to develop that talent, has nothing in common with the ability turn that into money. Between the ability reach into yourself dive into an introspective place and create that into a mode of expression; and the ability to offer that for sale or create it into a business is a gulf so wide it’s incredible anybody ever makes it across.
