End Market Exclusivity

The Ability to Market One's Product to a Vast Audience Should be a Human Right

On top of the world. . . and I'm the only one who knows it.

In this slowly dying world that we live, we humans have created a social and economic system rooted in exclusivity, exclusivity derived from the opinions, biases, and agendas of individuals (or groups or markets of individuals) claiming that they are the 'all knower's' of what the people want and of what the people don't want—of what is 'good' and of what is 'bad'—insofar said individuals become the 'key holders' to these markets, the dictators of who gets to 'make it' into the respective market, and who doesn't. Themselves clandestinely worshiping ageism and pretending to be gods with regards to their industry knowledge when they are but in-fact infants in an unimaginably young Universe.

The fact of the matter is, presently, all this tainted planet cares about is selfishly 'making it', whilst we don't have the slightest idea that it is us—the Darkness controlling us through our misguided intentions and our deflected and denied closed-minded train of thinking—that are creating the exclusivity of these markets by conforming to and embodying the example as set before us. But the fact of the matter is, if someone wants to publish a book, or to produce a movie, or a song, for example, as a collective community, we should be helping each other to do that. . . . Yet, instead, we hang onto everything that we possess with greedy intent—be it our great confidence, our film making skills, our ability to get a given product in front of a vast target audience, or our great knowledge in a particular field, for example—insofar we ourselves continue to harbor a society where, instead of seeing worth in everything—as we should—we build hierarchy around the idea that, "I get to decide who gets 'in' and who doesn't." We lock up all the resources that we have access to with greedy intent—concealing the best teachers behind walls that only the most fortunate can afford, the teachers themselves hiding their knowledge within books, again, only the fortunate can afford or even seek out; or by hiding one's knowledge of how to make a movie on par with that of Hollywood, as well as limiting our access to the technologies that would allow one to up their game to such a level; or by claiming that a book won't be successful because, "nobody wants to read Sci-Fi [or dystopian, or whatever]" and not putting it in front of the world solely on such an ignorant and highly subjective—opinion—derived from one to whom truly hasn't the slightest idea what not even a fraction of the seven and a half—billion—people on this planet want, no matter how 'ingrained' and 'knowledgeable' one might (at least claim to) be in a given market or industry.

We climb the ladders of our respective hierarchies, putting in our owed dues to the given system, dealing with all the petty, meretricious and duplicitous bullshit, trolling and shit-talking, just to reach the top of the ladder (should we be so fortunate), then shoving our opinions down everyone else's throats as to be the holder of the most 'right' or 'popular' opinion and to be the next trend-setter that everyone seeks to follow. . . which is unimaginably ignorant, it is why we live in a world of greedy, ageist and egoliferated Haves and Forgotten Have-nots; and which is besides the fact that, if someone creates something and they feel in their heart it is finished and is the best that it can be. . . they should be able to get that creation in front of everyone in order to let the world—while being unbiased by others thoughts who are attempting to ignorantly control the narrative—choose what is 'good', 'bad', 'right' and 'wrong' for themselves, not the 'key holders' of these exclusive—and notably greatly profitable to a selfish societies—markets.

This ability to market our given creations to vast audiences should be a human right. . . just as being ignorant (and childish, mind you) critics should be something all humans seek to evolve away from. . . Because there is beauty in everything. . . just as there is always room to help each other grow in order to make things more beautiful and/or enjoyable. . . . Ergo, there is enough cake for everyone to do what they are passionate about while also making a living off it.

The Darkness doesn't want you to believe this. The Darkness wants us to keep trolling, nagging and nitpicking each other in retribution for all the negativity that was sprinkled upon us by our own wretched mentors. The Darkness wants us to keep working useless jobs—work for the sole sake of work—that do hardly anything for the overall Collective Consciousnesses growth, and that in-fact solely feeds our tainted and selfish systems agenda; propagating us to believe that these abominable cubicle jobs are 'important' to our system, when in reality they are truly only important to the people whose pockets the given job feeds.

The Darkness wants us conforming to the tainted teachings of our mentors—to all just mentioned above—and then becoming trapped within this mindset, believing this false and entirely ignorant premise that, "My understanding of life, rooted in—my—unfair upbringing, is 'right' and every other way that wasn't mine is 'wrong'". The Darkness wants us indebted to it via tainting our own Karma by our own freewill. Ergo, the Darkness doesn't want us to know that each and everyone of us are presently clandestinely enslaved within a deeply corrupted planet owned entirely by concealed, tainted and misguided intentions, and the sole reason is entirely rooted in our choices and in the behavior that we humans presently accept—condone and facilitate—as 'acceptable' human behavior.

This is all one big fat reason why, for example, we have radio stations with great and worldly (or even local) platforms that idolize and spotlight select music rather than using their platforms to constantly be broadcasting fresh, new and could-be-great artists who are still seeking their turn to 'make it'. Because this industry—like all the rest, and particularly those that are so greatly profitable—is rooted in exclusivity. (Another part of this being, and in relation to my last point in the previous paragraph, because this is what we seek out as consumers in a world owned by Darkness. We—want—to idolize the most 'popular' trends or people whilst our misguided aspirations seek to acquire this same said selfish, egoliferation for ourselves.)

Or better yet, take Facebook. Facebook is a prime example of the marketing platform of the future—possessing the ability to put a product in front of nearly the entire planet, though, of course, doing it for a buck, rather than simply being a member of the Collective Consciousness and creating a marketing platform that actually helps others 'make it', too. . . like Mr. Facebook has himself already has. . . rather than just those who can afford to 'make it' while furthering ones own selfish self-interest within the Game we live.

The exclusivity of these markets—must—be derailed immediately. For a world of 'key holders' will always and forever be a world of Haves and Have-nots.

Personally, I believe that everyone has something valuable to offer from their highly subjective life experiences. Unfortunately, most people are just too lost amidst their insecurities derived from the Game of Triumph to seek and recognize what theirs is. Themselves often operating at—too fast—a pace in order for their brains to have any time to actually process and compute, thus greatly debilitating themselves from reaching knowledge and wisdom that others who have learned to—slow down—in order to take that needed time and space in order to function most optimally have attained.

But what if it turns out that a given individual has something amazing to share with the world, something amazing that we would all want to be a part of? What if they had some great knowledge to share that never gets released because the Darkness is intentionally blocking most everyone from even giving them a chance—and particularly the true Lightbearers? Which further begs the question, how much knowledge have we thus far lost out on because the Darkness has been controlling the narrative?

The fact is, we should be only judging a creation by its—content—the heart and intentions that went into that content, and by nothing else. These ignorant judgments of our creations are a tool of power that the Darkness uses to further its selfish agenda; making us into (clandestinely) petty, prejudicial and judgmental critics rather than simply enjoying the creations of others, creations which don't always need to be 'perfect' with regards to being the best-of-the-best that our society has thus far created. . . or at least, shouldn't have to be in an Enlightened society. . . .

* * *

How do we get better at—anything—in life. . . ? Through creating and interacting with others in our field and learning how to create better while we hone and fine tune our skills. . . .

* * *

Now, I'm not implying that we should intentionally be making shoddy technology and general creations. Quite the latter, in-fact: Everything that we do should be 100% rooted in our passions insofar they are always done to the best of our current abilities, just as every word we say should reflect meaningful thought and a heartfelt opinion. (Rather than simply perpetually spitting off bullshit that we've picked up here or there simply to—have—an opinion.)

This is what a successful society does. . . . Thus, if someone's intentions are in all the right places. . . if they are trying their hardest to create the best things that they can, we should be supportive of them in order to get their product in front of the people who will increase their skills tenfold (if need be), or who will simply see beauty and merit in their creation and seek to support it; rather than doing as we do now and fearing that minute piece of the market being taken by someone else when that spot could have been ours. . . .

Do you see? When there is limited space to 'make it', in a selfish, pretentious and egoliferated society. . . well, we're all living it. . . need I say more?

The problem here is that our intentions for creating are presently in all the wrong places; rooted in our selfish seeking's of self-preservation—our seeking's of survival in a dog-eats-dog world—and in seeking's of social or financial dominance and gratification. The Darkness has done this intentionally because it creates a world were even acting on our self-interest is in-fact acting against our self-interest in the long-run via tainting our Karma and giving the Darkness control over us. I mean. . . man's gotta eat. . . . But how am I supposed to want to support others if the over-prevalent example is to only (clandestinely) help ourselves, whilst keeping those who would help the most away from the resources to do just that. . . .

This is all—so—utterly wrong. No one should be creating anything for any purpose other than the fact that they love creating it. No one should feel that they must safeguard what they have to offer to the world with greedy and selfish intent, or be made to feel that what they have to offer the world has no worth. No one should be forced to do something that doesn't make them happy simply because they fear for their own survival or the spite of a society that breeds conformists while shunning anonymity—the core construct of a truly free Universe, one without prisons and ignorant and poorly misguided systems of judgment and control that inexorably harbor everything that makes this world suck: slums, prisons, crime, the separation of wealth and power, and injustice, just to name a few; all of which further perpetuating our downward spiral and the Darkness's tediously slow take over.

Anonymity is the only path to true freedom. Thus, for example, creating a Universe where agents of chaos—those who would seek to disrupt the peace—are simply dealt with based on how threatened we feel in our respective lives. Ergo, when there is a threat to our life and liberty, we simply deal with it ourselves, rather than using these police forces who are never really there when we actually need them anyways, and who are truly serving the self-serving system, which is in-fact run itself by an overwhelming majority of crooks fighting for everything that is wrong with this world, and who would in-fact turn on us in a heart beat at a simple command.

The fact is, all of our creations—all of us—were born into this planet free. . . . It was we humans—controlled by the Darkness—who put everything under lock and key as to create a world controlled by it, the Darkness—by things like market exclusivitynot by the Light. And, while being rendered in such a primitive state of existence, we have clung to our primitive nature—embodying things such as 'alphamaleism', or grouping ourselves in unanimous swarms like a school of—fish—in hope of not standing out, and thus, not putting our own selfish lives at stake when we are fully aware that the rest of our fishy-'friends' would ditch us in a moments notice at the first sign of a predator.

The way it should be, the way an Enlightened race would approach this given scenario, is by first understanding that simply the act of seeking to create and to see creation flourish is beautiful. Hence, we should be promoting creation vehemently. . . . Then coming together to help each other to create better via sharing our subjective tools and knowledge with—all—who seek to share our passion, a passion that we do regardless of receiving social or financial gratification—or else it isn't really our passion, thus proving to ourselves that our intentions are in the wrong places—ergo, we share it for free.

Take my book, for example. . . . Let's assume that certain aspects of my book aren't up to 'industry standards'—*cough* hierarchy, *cough* control—as personally, I've only started really caring about things like spelling and grammar. . . oh. . . about five years ago. (And it has been a long learning curve, to say the least). (. . .Thankfully in this instance, if by chance this proved true, at least now I can blame my editor. . . [cry face].) But the fact is, in my mind, no ones opinion should influence anyone else's over the—content—of my book—regardless if the punctuation or grammar wasn't, by chance, one-hundred percent perfect. This is the petty trolling, nitpicking and nagging that our tainted society uses in order to control our—opinions—over our creations. . . . Whilst entirely overlooking the fact that the story is in-fact banging and the Enlightening philosophy and hidden messages tucked away within its pages—it's content—is fabulous. . . . Ergo. . . The ignorance and pettiness of judging ones content on something as ever-changing—that is the furthest thing from a statement of one's overall intelligence and worth, mind you—as one's 'improper' use of language. . . .

Pettiness. . . period.

Again, this is the trolling, nitpicking and nagging such individuals do so smoothly through practiced facades. Themselves skillfully pretending to be 'openminded' thinkers as they boast their (most often ignorant) opinions into the world as the ultimate, end-all be all 'truth'. Meanwhile, these petty and ignorant judgments they boast based in such hierarchy and 'rules' for, in this instance, writing a 'good' book, entirely block the story and the content itself from reaching the audience that would see merit and great worth in it. . . .

Which is besides the fact that, hypothetically, once more let's say that the English and/or grammar isn't 'perfect' in my book, yet everything else is absolutely out of this world. . . . If we were One collective team, One collective consciousness—as we are built to be—because we got that book out on every shelf and in front of the masses, and because I wasn't going to give up on my dream, an editor who saw the great potential in the—content—of my book called me up and offered me to team up. So together we worked and got that damn book up to 'industry standards' as a team, and the world even further devoured it. . . the book itself come to be translated into dozens of languages—the whole nine yards!

The blunt Truth is, there should be no 'key holders'. These 'key holders' who are those who haven't the slightest clue how subjective their experiences, opinions and agendas in their respective lives and industries are, and in that, who don't understand the tremendous ignorance in their clandestine worship of ageism. They don't understand that age is far from the only derivative of Wisdom, and that we are all—mentally—at all different 'ages', depending on the given subject matter and how young we were when that highly subjective subject matter became important to us to focus our attention onto it. They don't understand the slightest how different we all are and think—ergo, they don't understand the plasticity of perception the slightest.

Help me end the exclusivity of these markets. We—can—make a world where knowledge and technology is shared insofar the future-famous directors, Hollywood superstars and musicians—who are presently homeless living on the streets—can have access to all that they need to 'make it' themselves and to reach their full potential, a full potential that is presently ignorantly being blocked from them because those in control of our tainted society are holding the key to these doors with greedy and selfish intent; making the hierarchies we are forced to surrender and conform to cutthroat, duplicitous and superficial insofar the good people don't even care to try. . . they just want to be away from it all. . . so they surrender to the Darkness and succumb to living simple and often pained and meaningless lives; or as mentioned earlier, they (weakly) adapt and conform and become everything that makes this planet suck; perpetuating the perpetual circles by becoming the—shitty—future example to be followed.

Blocking a massive majority of our population from reaching their full potential has hugely debilitated our society. . . . Yet, we continue to condone and facilitate such ignorant hierarchy and the egolifterated, intolerant, petty and prejudicial people controlling them. And we only do this simply because our entire population is ignorant to the fact that: just because someone smiles at us, pretends to be our 'friend', and is 'popular', does not mean that they are genuine people, and many—if not most—of them presently aren't. They are merely the leaders in the Game of Triumph—the corrupt oligarchs we all envision from ancient Rome which we also all think have suddenly disappeared. . .—and those to whom most proficiently embody the artificial—the pretentious, petty, ignorant, duplicitous and egoliferated—self that allows them to Triumph in the Game of Triumph and to flourish at the top, whilst only pretending to care about those on the bottom and those that (albeit, stupidly) naively worship them.

It's time to team back up. It's time to understand that we are in-fact One collective consciousness, One team. It's time to recognize that we all have worth, we all have the same potential to thrive when given the resources we need to do just that. It's time to recognize that this norm of perpetually putting people down—who are trying to do right, and whose intentions are perpetually being twisted against them—is a statement of the Darkness and how Dark we are as a society. . . . Because the blunt Truth is, in a society of Light. . . we would allalways—be helping and uplifting each other in—all—ways, shapes and forms. . . not perpetually, pettily and duplicitously trolling, nitpicking and nagging one another.

NEVER 'fake it 'til you make it'.

BELIEVE you can MAKE IT until you DO make it.

ALWAYS root yourself in being HONEST with yourself FIRST AND FOREMOST. And,

CONSTANTLY apply DILIGENT & HONEST EFFORT in order to BE and UNDERSTAND your given field of knowledge/study BETTER.

The Ether is with us.
