Phoenix SinistraYou have to realize that modern power, is nothing but a concept in the mind of the one who’s under the power. And once you realize this, you realize that authority is indeed an illusion.
About This Quote
In the past, the elite were in charge and had all the power. They owned the means of production and controlled the money supply. And so, they were able to rule and rule in a way that was beneficial to them. They owned the means of production and controlled the money supply, so they could create all kinds of things and keep you in debt. But now we live in an age where such things are no longer possible.
And the modern elite is the middle class who has become powerful because it owns all the means of production and controls the money supply. And so it is much more difficult for them to rule over us, because we can just take what they have created and shut them out. So it is important to realize that authority is an illusion and must be cast aside in order to free yourself from bondage. It's like The Matrix: if you think you're under somebody's thumb, you're actually enjoying your life, because you don't know how great you have it.
Oh yeah, but we're such complacent people these days! We're too happy to question our lot in life and how lucky we are not to be living in The Matrix! Well then, let me tell you about The Matrix: when Neo was told that he lived in a computer simulation, he didn't doubt it one bit; when Morpheus told him that his friends were being held hostage inside that computer simulation that he lived in, he didn't question it one bit; when Neo got that phone call telling him that his wife was being held hostage inside that computer simulation… He didn't question anything! He just accepted it all at face value! That's what freedom looks like nowadays!
