7c. Personal Actions to Detach from the System
We are seeing systemic breakdown all over the world as nature becomes more unpredictable and fierce. We can’t have infinite growth on a finite planet and the results of our abuse of nature to do this are tied in for at least 60 years. Even if everyone on the planet simply stopped polluting right this instant, it would take 60 years to show. – Below are actions you might take to help detach yourself:
- spend time alone in nature
- grow a garden and eat what it produces
- make your own clothes, furniture and art and crafts
- make love and compassion your default position rather than fear
- explore altered states of consciousness and meditation
- exist fully and consciously in the moment whenever you can
- inform yourself about the real actions of government because they do not tell the truth
- question the official narratives at every opportunity
- spoil your vote
- give yourself space to prioritise inner and outer realms equally
- learn to detach from the ego, be honest, cool, kind and compassionate
- minimise your personal carbon count (eg: http://footprint.wwf.org.uk/)
- protest and resist things that you feel unhappy about
- be aware of where you put and keep your money / energy
- examine yourself and your actions closely for signs of the ‘wetiko mass mind virus’
- avoid resources that have been imported where possible
- use creativity, skill and work rather than technology and materials
- design and make (above purchase) things for for durability and repairability
- avoid all forms of fossil fuel use
- avoid fast food outlets
- avoid shopping at large, corporately controlled stores
- turn off the channels of mass communication & create your own news stream and entertainment
- divest from money, refuse to earn enough to pay taxes
- limit your use of the money system to cash or debit card, avoid using credit and don’t borrow money
- examine your life and consider more co-operative ways of living
- produce food in your house (eg sprouting seeds, nut milk, yoghurt, kefir etc)
- reduce, reuse, recycle, repair and refuse when you can
- construct and support local community networks in exchange systems like LETS
- contact or become involved with your town or parish council and bring forward ideas to enhance community resilience
