* I wont explain here more about what is
meaning of these rights, even I need to do that in another place. What is
obvious, the word “slavery” has one antonym, which is “freedom”. Slaves are
opposite of free souls. Sadly in today societies, very big part of slaves are
claimed as “trapped unwillingly” in labor, work, enforced, and even bigger part
of humans are slaves “willingly”. What I mean by that?
* Imagine
situation of woman prostitute, she wants to escape and claimed to be “slave” –
for example she was kidnapped and forced to do that. In its root slavery is
humiliation of the human soul and mind. And root of this humiliation is lack of
freedom, or lack of ability to choose between different things. Now I want to
ask you, are there women, who are prostitutes “willingly” even if it`s illegal?
And what is their motive for choosing this “profession” or action, above
another? I want to say here clearly – all of prostitutes, or who admit they are
not enslaved and “free” in their choice – are actually slaves. That’s why – a
very big part of them (here we speak about prostitutes, but there are many
other examples) – are “forced” to choose this way not by people, but by
circumstances in their lives –poverty, left without property, hardly surviving,
or by their own mind (lack of positive feeling in their environment, hard
childhood…). This is by all means not human freedom. These women would willingly
give up their work of prostitutes, by first possible chance to do something
different. Another big part of them are “willingly” choosing this
profession, why? If woman have many choices, she comes from a wealthy family,
but still he went on the way to be “prostitute”, or what we may call historically
“concubine” (were slaves), in the harems of Sultans (were slaves women), “mistress”
(the word itself even can mean “master woman”, Lady or beloved!). So why they
choose this way? The things in this case are reversed. Women – “mistresses” are
not in a trap or enslaved forcefully from anyone, but just by themselves, by
their own mind. They choose to be so, having the understanding that this is the
easiest way to indulge in comfortable wealthy life, without many efforts. They
do not consider any psychological effect or motive, which later returns to
them. These women are trapped in horrible mischief by themselves. They are
slaves too, but with higher status – social slaves.
III.
I took long time to explain about these kind of “willing” slaves, because there
are amazingly many such people on earth. People who choose work, labor,
condition, suffer humiliation from other, “willingly” only because they don’t
have another choice. People who are silent about their sexual abuses, become
faceless, have daily turmoil, psychological attacks, only because of lack of
another choice? Do they exist now? How many are they on the planet? You can
answer these questions, I leave them open.
* The
slavery is wide spread on the planet, it is even increasing each year. The main
reason for this spread of slavery are: 1. misunderstanding of personal freedom
2. misunderstanding of human values 3. mis conception of what is “purity”, 3.
misunderstanding of what is wealth and how to receive it, 4. lack of
self-confidence and self-love 5. accepting all social norms as “right and above
all”, 6. feeling economically repressed, 7. living in poor conditions and
social “stigma” 8. Raising value of money, means and comfort as the highest human
(social) values.
In
order to realize the depth of slavery phenomena in society, we need to ask
questions, we need to search the truth. How many people love what they work and
feel it as their mission? How many are slaves of social conditions and need for
finances? in another side –how many people are "slaves” of their ambitions for
wealth, comfort, easy life, power, influence? How many are slaves of social
norms and "values”, of social ideas for “successful” and unsuccessful person?
How many are slaves of ideas that if you don’t have particular things like good
carrier, money, car, property and children…you are unsuccessful or failed? These
are the so called “ideological slaves”. They are everywhere, because they like
to follow the social model and scheme about value of life.
One very good
example is – most people are passionate about having children, not because they
understand the value of a child, but mostly because they have inside their
minds prints of socially approved models and values. “to have a child” is
valuable – for society –but is it for me? And what about the child? That’s how
many social imbalances and injustice happen. We don’t look for personal approve
of our good qualities and abilities (from our Self and people we think as
special), we want approval from the social net, the faceless grey society, with
their values and stigma. We don’t want to return to ourselves and search inside
our hearts, we are afraid of closer observation of our treats and qualities.
So
I want to say here – the first person you need to be accepted, approved and
loved is your Self. No anyone else. For that you need to have not social
position or money, or power. You need connection with your Higher self.
