how to break the system

unleash from self-Restricting systems of life

I sat in the hospital room following a surgical procedure with almost critical, subsequent complications with nothing feeding me except an antibiotic injected hours ago and machines beeping their anti-hypnotic song in the background.

I had asked numerous times for vitamins and digestive enzymes, as I wasn’t hungry but of course needed nutrition following days of antibiotics which have destroyed my gut microbiome, therefore ability to absorb nutrients, having also complained about a lack of sleep cast off as the typical case in a hospital, wondering if health was possible here, to no avail.

I also looked around at the state of health of the ones treating me and wondered, if this is who they’ve become through their system, or haven’t been able to heal from, will I become the same?

Luckily, I had the awareness to deter that reality long ago.

Even when healthy, I devour vitamins, minerals and other supplements. They are not the panacea for all maladies, but essential to uphold the body’s daily functions and stressors, not to mention recovering from illness.

But especially at the worst of me, the need for the body’s basic needs, the proper nutrients and environment to overcome an invader and restore peace, is ever-more urgent, as it is the miracle of the body, our divine system, that allows for healing given the right attention, space, and love, not any medication or external source of energy.

I had asked then for what I know to be helpful to assist this natural process, only met with doubt and questioning, defensive stances, and a lack of support for listening to my own body. “We need tests to verify what’s going on” they said, and even then, they could not provide the best tests available today, and even then, they were unsure, with the only solution being surgery, where the surgeon had boldly mentioned he knew it was clear what the problem was.

I proceeded to spend 5 more days in the hospital.

These medical specialists, the paradigm of health in the US, knew what was best for me, against my requests. Their way or the highway. They don’t like when people speak up and ask questions. They don’t like to be challenged.

If I can’t even get a vitamin bag, which barely existed in the hospital full of sick people, because it’s not indicated for my condition, then why I am at a hospital? Is it to heal? Or for them to make money?

Certainly, I am lucky to have had this resource to resolve an immediate, serious problem, but in society today, what other option did I have?

This wasn’t the first time I’ve come across problems with this system. After three concussions in the NFL, I had to leave that career as a mere shell of myself. I looked to this particular system, the American medical system, for help and was given pharmaceutical drugs to ameliorate the anxiety and insomnia, as the only solution, which I would have to ween off of eventually, with no other strategy to do so. It required going to an outside source to learn how to lower my stress levels, recalibrate my digestion, and nourish my body with missing nutrients, to actually find the state of health I was looking for.

Aren’t we all?

While I did just hyper focus on the medical field, this article is not solely about the medical system, but systems as a whole, where and how they can go wrong, and what to do about flawed systems. The approach is not from a scientific standpoint, which is another man-made system highly prone to error amid claiming to own the authority of truth, which should not inhibit the credibility of the article, but from a more philosophical perspective, hopefully opening your eyes to make greater connections to the systems in our lives than just to the examples posed here.

What is a System?

A system is a structure we build as humans and learn to lean on, or believe in, ones that support us, to prevent things from going wrong or uphold integrity when things go wrong.

Forms of Systems

Systems could be anything from religion, government, healthcare, entertainment, military, education, business, marriage, familial structures.

It could also be a mental structure, an operating system used to defend ourselves from attack or even acquire power. It could be a desire for control over another person, believing the more we tell people what we know, the more they’ll listen, the more power we have, when in reality, without that system you would see how nothing is further from the truth. It could also be our tendency to become angry or desire for attention. It is a skill, operating system we learn from our surroundings or self-experimentation that provides an outcome we desire. It soothes us to know we can rely on that system.

Humans are systems.

Relationships are systems, working together, or sometimes for the benefit of one and the corruption of another.

It’s a structure we believe will take us, as a collective unit, somewhere better than where we currently are.

A human cell can’t do much on its own, but alongside the synergistic love of other cells and types in the body, it’s remarkable how much high quality work the body’s ecosystem can accomplish.

Even life itself, the fundamental structure of the universe as we know it, biology, physics, chemistry, love, art, infrastructure, family dynamics, psychology, space, time, and the rest, all fall under one collected, unified system, much of which is still and will always be beyond our limited comprehension and awareness. This is the system that holds the planets in orbit, as well as electrons around their atom’s nucleus, or the family heritage passed through generations, that is a system, the system, and the only system we can always count on upholding us.

But like in medicine, human-built systems are prone to change and though they may begin with good intention, are also prone to turning.

Let’s see how.

Good

Within relationship to another system, or any other party for that matter, your spirit or belief system attaches to the system because it provides a sense of security, it becomes a part of who you are, that you support, that you fight for, because you believe it fights for you.

That’s what we should do in a good, balanced relationship with one another.

Good systems function seamlessly to resolve problems and produce consistent results, provide opportunities for people to live better lives, grow, develop, prosper, and stay safe, which is not possible by mere individuals but by an organized group of people with a common goal.

And during emergency situations, which are bound to happen, you must have a plan, and hopefully, with time, you’ve learned how to handle emergencies and fix mistakes.

A well-functioning society has a system in place for the realities of life.

A good system produces good results. The people in the ecosystem are healthy, happy, alive, and living in community with one another, not in separated buckets.

Bad

Human systems are prone to error and corruption, and although they may seem to most like well-functioning systems, the ones with skepticism will see traces of evidence the system isn’t good, while others in full belief of the system are unconvinced the system is a problem, but instead a rare, isolated incident.

A bad system can produce good results, but it cannot sustain them. There are bad results along the way. When there are bad results, you know there’s a bad system.

Systems require energy, which is harvested and directed to conduct its function.

A cell has a function and needs energy to do so.

Humans have functions, needs energy to do so.

Power is redirected energy.

People who know about this power can wield it for a purpose that is deceiving to those who don’t understand, led to believe they support a good cause, when the sole intention of that system is not for their best interest, but for a different interest.

The problem is when the system you believe in hides their true motive, exploiting your energy through deceit, in order to serve the good of that particular system, their primary concern. Within the system, attached to the system, leaning on the system to maintain life, you’ll protect the system as it’s a part of you.

The reason the system hides its true motive is because it would lose its power, of course. If healthcare centers didn’t have the “healthcare” or “health” tag on it, and instead promoted their financial earning potential, therefore should be invested in, you would think twice about attending them as a place of health, but rather a place to lose both your money and health.

Bad systems occur when the primary intention is built for something other than the optimal health and well-being, the vitality, of the human being.

If any system does not value the human being above all, it is a bad system and will eventually fall.

In this world of 8 billion individual people, there is nothing more important than here than human life, or life as a whole. Everything we create to convince ourselves otherwise are forms of distraction, ways to convince you there are better things in this world than who we are as humans.

Systems In the World

Of course we can point to systems all over our world, but how do you find those that are faulty.

It requires a simple question: what is their primary concern?

A home’s primary concern for example should be the health and well being of all who live inside, but that’s not always the case when career or family power dynamics or a relationship with inherent flaws are brought to the surface.

A business may claim to put their patients, clients, customers first, easily tagging their titles with words that boast their moral high ground or benefit to humanity, however when it comes to surviving as a business, what sacrifices are made to ensure the business survives? Will it be the quality of the product, the energy the customer receives, or will it be the bottom line?

Even a bad business would regret not keeping their customers alive, but they thrive on their customer’s addiction they can’t see, or know is a problem.

A successful but bad business thrives on the deceit of their customers.

Government too is designed for the safety, discipline, fair treatment, and cleanliness of all law-abiding citizens and the land, but when governments acquire too much power, they tend to become corrupt, and cause problems, ie. Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, and maybe every country has to go through a transfer of power, a revolution, a recalibration when one dominant party becomes too powerful against the people it’s supposed to protect.That is where the power of the body, of the people, is held, to be able to know when stand up for their rights and what is right when authority, who doesn’t value their constituents, doesn’t listen.

This is the balance of the head and body, masculine and feminine.

How to Detect Flawed Systems

You can detect faulty systems in a variety of ways, the most obvious being their fruits. Look at the health, mental, physical of the constituents, even practitioners, the body of system, as well as what it produces. Are its customers and practitioners healthy, more equipped, because of the product? Are the people in the system healthy? Are the people you are becoming by being in that system healthy?

Or are they just, successful?

May our success in this world be our personal health, happiness, and inner growth.

Are you deceived by what they can provide you, immediate satisfaction, believing that to be the thing that saves you from the suffering you’re currently in?

The hospital and the medical system as a whole makes its money in immediate satisfaction. In a moment of desperation I entered the ER to receive treatment, knowing that I wouldn’t be provided with anything but immediate resolution, which I certainly enjoyed, but what was sacrificed? Did I receive in that moment exactly what my body needed? Did I receive the support and nourishment, sleep, and peace that my body was missing? Or did I receive the treatment of a lab rat hooked up for testing?

Was my stay, and the root problem, elongated by the treatment, or lack thereof, provided? Was there another option? Shouldn’t there be?

Don’t Get Defensive

Another way to spot flawed systems is when they begin to get defensive about their strategy. If there is defensiveness, that means their operating system isn’t inherently good, and they know it either consciously or unconsciously, not designed to listen to their people, their customers, but in enforcing their “guaranteed” or lowest risk protocol, only first allowed by insurance companies, systematized to produce what they intend for it to produce.

When the people speak up, they grow uncomfortable and silence the noise.

A confident and integral system is one that doesn’t have to defend themselves. They are inherently defended by the efficacy of the system. An attack against them is wasted energy for the attacker, as nothing can penetrate a fortress without walls.

Intention

Another way to detect good or bad systems is again by looking at their underlying intention, or with what aim and what structure, they were produced: man-made or God-made.

Man-made systems are built on feeding the desires of man. Desires could be any sensory experience, immediate satisfaction, or safety in an outside source. These systems are designed for entertainment, pleasure, distraction, and providing an immediate sense of comfort.

Conversely, God-made systems are built for the highest good of man/woman.

The highest good of man is not his desires, but his highest good, which is continual growth via inherent love, which only can occur through continued and painful release of faulty operating systems they learn are inhibiting them from full freedom. God-made systems are the systems we create but with a twist— man and woman’s highest interest are their primary concern, not their desires.

For example, marriage, when each body, man and woman, are unified, equal but different, make each other better by being aligned with their needs first to serve the other, is a good system. If either party cannot conduct their function properly, or are reprimanded for trying to do so, or doing so insufficiently, the system will fail.

When a business serves the highest interest of their customer, this is a good system. The customer thrives, becomes alive, more equipped, and importantly, more independent, more themselves. The business thrives too as their entire ecosystem is a walking billboard of their product that illuminates the world. People come to the business because they know they receive true love.

When the business sells a product that feeds on the desires of man, however, it may be pleasure, excitement, or even comfort, that is a faulty business bound to fail. The customers often cannot help themselves but indulge, providing the high profit of the business. This creates a trap for the customer that the business profits off of. And while the people in the business may look happy, passing out joyful lollipops around every corner, there are problems going on underneath the surface, creating more problems by feeding on human desire.

What Needs To Be Solved

All creation needs revision, as what happens in our minds doesn’t always work out in the real world, as the mastermind of earth and beyond learned, as our first ideas never look the same as they do at the end, as marble statues look after being chipped by the sculptor.

There is always some good mixed in with the bad, but nonetheless a revolution is in order, which we have started to experience over the past few years with growing trends in holistic health and concierge medicine, only available to the ones who can afford it, whereas drugs of any kind can be accessed via insurance and technology at a moments notice, without any other alteration to the cause of the problem.

If you think about systems again, you might think differently about your personal resource allocation and how investing in a service that gives you health and life now, prevents these major incidents, is much cheaper in the long run, and more effective at improving your life, than investing in something that kind of helps if or when the unfortunate happens, and doesn’t ever aim to resolve the underlying problems of your life.

An important question to ask when it comes to health care is: Where do the healthiest people go to heal? Do they seek medical advice before starting an exercise routine? Are there attending regular doctor visits for basic check ups? Or are they immersed in the woods barefoot, eating vibrant, organic foods, sleeping deeply, having great sex with their soul mates? Do they get comprehensive blood work and gut testing, and are they in tune with their bodies? Are they supported by people who are walking embodiments of health themselves? Are they connected to God, in their spirits, practicing daily journaling and meditations, guided by their higher intuition, and attending to their hearts above all else?

The problem here is that the medical system believes, like any man-made system, they are the sole-authority, and to challenge them is to betray them, and to prevent them from conducting their function is to cause their downfall because the essence of who they are is the one in power, and without you, what do they have to stand on? The ones who go against the system will always be criticized by the ones within them. It is the way of the world. It is beautiful.

When you feel that you aren’t being heard despite your effort, made to feel bad about it, find yourself suffering to uphold this world, you know that something is wrong and that it’s time to make a change.

What I’ve learned is that hospitals are the energy harvester for the “sick care” system, posed as health care, built for sick people to become less sick, but not healthy, designed solely to keep you alive which makes you prone to exploitation for your money as you begin to disbelieve whether or not you would be able to return to full health, unable to think coherently against the pressure of highly educated amid a desolated microbial ecosystem and malnourished body, but not necessarily healthy, in all areas, doctors as nurses, posed as the sole authority over your body, to shame you when you doubt, makes you question whether you know what’s right for you and limit your options to ensure your health is prioritized.

This is a system that needs change.

How to Break the System

Stop feeding it.

All systems need energy. The system of the man-made-desire kind, feeds off your energy. Your energy removed is energy away from you, precious energy away from your continued growth and development, from understanding yourself, and from standing on your own.

You might read this post and see the good of a system and just want to fix the system, maintaining what you know with minor tweaks.

The system doesn’t want that. The system will persist as it has, accumulating power through you, it only grows more deceptive with time, and it will do everything in its power to keep you where you are, because that is what works for them.

Unfortunate for these systems, the only way to fix flawed systems is not to protest against their power, demanding for them to relent, but to remove yourself from underneath their feet, their traps, and to believe in yourself as being capable of not just surviving the world, but owning it as a conquerer of the worlds you have yet to trek.

To do so, you must believe in yourself above all else and rebuild your courage, built on understanding love, to make the leap to a different world. You must believe there is nothing more important than you aligned with the ultimate system, the system of life, God, and when you take care of yourself first, despite whatever lack of resources you think you have, you, being taken care of, will only then you have the energy to find resources, or even more likely, the energy calling you higher, magnetizing you upward shall orient and connect you with more resources than you’ll need and ever thought you could, and higher and higher.

How to Build Courage

When you learn it’s okay to break one system, that on the other side of it you’re actually more capable, contrary to what you thought whilst in that system, you’ll feel confident to break another because you’ve learned a new system that works for you, that releasing old systems is actually beneficial to you, and on an on.

Find one thing in your life that you know is taking away from your inner peace, and release it. When you release it, you’ll receive more energy via greater space to think without that form of distraction. With greater inner energy, you’re getting closer to finding the courage to continue releasing old habits, patterns, and addictions, survival mechanisms

However, without first detaching from an old framework, or pattern harnessing your energy, you’ll always be limited in your efforts, no matter how hard you try.

You’ll want to see the pathway first before leaving, but that will not occur.

You must trust the black wall of darkness that has historically prevented you from moving and run to it.

There you will find a new life of health, vitality, happiness, and nonetheless, success, though in ways you could have never imagined.

It is time for the bad systems of our lives to be removed and to trust in the ultimate system of life.

Thank you for reading.
