Think For Yourself

Break free from the mold our educational system instills in our minds to be the perfect citizen. Break free from believing we are stuck in our position we are in today. Break free from the mindset that we should spend a month's salary on that plasma-screen television and complain when we do not have enough money for little Tabitha's field trip to the museum. Break free.

Not only should we break free from the plastic realism forced upon us from textbooks, but we should obtain the truth ourselves by utilizing other sources other than the news.

I am in the position I am in today because of the debt of school loans. I cannot afford to go on vacations because I owe thousands to loans.

Hey Anonymous, by your comment it sounds like you haven't read his book. Before you make any comments you should at least give it a try. I'm sure there's links on the main page where you see about picking up a copy.

"are you a hippie"....that's a good one huh Thomas! I guess this poor soul needs to read your book more than anyone else!

Great book. I have recommended it to all my work associates (who by the way are taking your advice on paying others 3-compliments a day). The whole work environment has changed in a matter of weeks - thanks Thomas.

The race called humans will need to answer to the call of the voice. The voice that has plagued mankind within himself. Go in peace my friends, this is the call of mother nature.

lol.....sounds 2 me like he's smoking something.

mr. fleetwood, it's hard to release our minds to think for ourselves. since birth we have been formed to be the perfect citizen you speak about from our parents, our family, our teachers, our government. if the only way for you to go is in one direction, how do you suggest we go into the other?

Travis - Good question, one that I've actually had to ponder or many years myself. I honestly cannot guarantee what works for me will work for you or for anyone who is reading this. To release our minds of the blanket pulled over our eyes by simply living everyday is not easy. Something that I will later touch on my "Emergy Pages." But you do have to accept the truth no matter what nonsense it may portray at first......

Throughout human history, man has been faced with the terrorizing fact that we do not know who or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the political authorities, the religious authorities, educational authorities who have tempted to comfort us by giving us order, rule, regulation.
