If our incapability is our problem, that is understandable. But when our capabilities become our problem, we are heading for disaster.

Freedom does not mean I can do whatever I want with you. Freedom means I can be whichever way I want within myself. #SadhguruQuotes

A Christian. A Muslim. A Jew.

Three people that certain politicians, pundits, and cable news hosts would have you believe are destined to fear each other.

Instead, they’re laughing together, talking together, and enjoying each other’s company.

Turns out ordinary people are often a lot better at coexistence than the people making money from division. ❤️

Yoga is not about becoming superhuman. It is about realizing that being Human is Super. #SadhguruQuotes

[Sadhguru @SadhguruJV]

The International Day of Yoga is a reminder that what we call Yoga is not a philosophy, an ideology, a belief system or a religion. This is the science and technology for inner wellbeing. Whatever your religion, race, caste, creed, gender, these technologies render you to optimal existence - to peak performance in body, mind, emotion, intelligence and energies and above all, it will unlock the potential of the genius that is in every human being. -Sg

Hawaii just enacted a law that effectively neuters Citizens United.

Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum.

Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live.

Clara Mattei brilliantly debunks a century of capitalist propaganda by explaining how capitalism is unnatural, has existed for only 0.1% of human history, took control of the world through violence, and is maintained by coercion and the superficial facade of liberal democracy.

If you sit alone for 24 hours without any activity, and simply watch the nature of your mind, you will know how compulsive your psychological activity is. In such compulsive states, you cannot simply “be.” You can explore the full potential of being human only if you know how to be.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

[Sadhguru @SadhguruJV]

Everybody says, “Believe in yourself.” I would say, first learn to doubt yourself. If something goes wrong, look within and see, “Maybe it is me.” This little doubt will bring some sense into you. Then, you will walk a little more gently upon this planet.

Confidence and stupidity are a very dangerous combination, but they often go together. #SadhguruQuotes

Even God cannot decide your inner wellbeing. If you refuse to cause misery to yourself, then no one can inflict it upon you. #SadhguruQuotes

The human species has essentially been transformed into a giant profit-generating machine for corporations.

Under capitalism, humanity exists to serve the interests of the corporation. We are all livestock; beasts of burden used to carry margin expansion forward from quarterly statement to quarterly statement. Enjoyment of life has no value other than the extent to which it can be used to increase the net worth of the shareholders.

That’s why everyone’s so unhappy. We’re not living with purpose. We’re not working together to build a better world and a better future, we’re just pulling levers to turn gears to make the arrow line go up on the graph in the conference room. It’s a hollow, pointless way for people to live.

It makes our whole culture vapid and soulless.

Music is made to be as profitable as possible, which means giving it the broadest possible appeal using formulaic song structure calculated to cause a chemical response in the largest number of human brains.

Movies are designed to draw the largest possible box office revenue at the lowest possible risk to studios and investors, often by just rehashing a movie that’s already proven successful in the past or by slapping together a story about an IP with pre-existing mass appeal.

Food is made to be fast and addictive rather than nourishing.

Healthy human connection has been commodified as social media intertwines with friendships and dating apps insert themselves into the development of romantic relationships.

Human sexuality is being warped and twisted as internet porn normalizes violence and degradation for the maximum number of clicks.

Attention and engagement have been monetized, creating an information ecosystem dominated by conflict and gossip designed to appeal to our baser instincts.

Advertisement is injected into every possible corner of our waking sensory experience, with any available space where the eye might rest or the ear might listen being flooded with psychological manipulation compelling us to consume. They’ll start running commercials in our dreams the instant they have the technology to do so.

You spend eight hours at the office working to generate corporate profits, then you come home and consume products to profit other corporations. You need your beer and snacks to unwind, your streaming services and social media to distract your mind from the stress of it all, your online clothing purchase to try to feel good about yourself, and your prescription drugs to get to sleep at night. People live their entire lives like this.

And that’s those of us who are lucky enough to be living in the global north. In the global south you get wage slavery and exploitation with far more toil, far less relaxation time, and no cheap products made by impoverished workers on other continents with which to comfort yourself.

All of humanity has been roped into this mess. And for what? To make the numbers in some bank accounts increase. To get some green arrows pointing upward on the stock exchange. To enable a few billionaires to buy islands and elections.

All while destroying the biosphere we all depend on for survival.

This, we are told, is the best possible system we could possibly be living under.

I personally do not believe this is true. I personally believe we can have better. Those who benefit from this current arrangement are going to assure us it’s impossible and do everything they can to stop us from changing it, but we do have the means to reclaim the wealth, dignity and happiness that they have stolen from us.

They built this whole machine on our backs. All we need to do is stand up.

Hawaii just passed the first state law in the country banning corporations from making political donations in state elections.

Now a Koch-backed legal group is suing to overturn it.

Big Money won't get out of our politics without a fight — one that we the people must win.

Elon Musk: "I don't believe Africa's poverty is caused by colonialism."

Michael Parenti: "The Third World is not poor. It is over exploited.”

Capitalism is maintained through imperialism and the theft of resources from third world countries. This is why the US is always at war.
