I think a good start would be to separate 'faith' from religion in a sense that when it all gets boiled down most folks have 'faith' in something but religion does nothing but define who/what it is you should have faith in and deliver that message with violence and ferocity.

So perhaps we need an absence of ego to begin the journey as if we are all truly equal in the eyes of whatever you have faith in, be it yourself, a god or just 'that guy over there' then the drive to move forward should encompass all of us as one no matter their state or yours.

I think next we really need to 'devalue' ourselves in the grand scheme of things, we aren't the top rung of the ladder, not by a long shot. We need to realize the symbiotic relationships of the matter that makes up the place and get right with it no matter our fear of the undesired outcome, I mean if we were meant to be worm food by design at 35 then it should be so, perhaps if we weren't so desperate to hang on, this place would be really nice for the time we share it and then we are gone. Once we place ourselves into proper perspective in the cosmos then we can turn our focus outside the bubble.

Epiphany?

Probably

separating faith or spirituality from religion and ridding self/ society of ego are part of the foundation of the new world for sure. and if found in people i think those are several key markers of someone who is awake and conscious.

how do we bring about the rest of the foundation of the new world? i have been thinking about this. not voting and giving our current system, and those who have run it the guillotine have (obviously) been running through my mind, but how to get there?

and right before i pulled up this thread i watched this MMA guy talking about anarchy. starts off slow as f but towards the end he gets to the meat of it.

anarchy? a means to an end? yes, a happy ending i am starting to think.
he defines it well imo. anarchy: for everyone to be able to do what they want. for people to be able to 'self actualize' themselves.

I tend to look at anarchy as not a lack of rule, but leaving rules up to each individual. Yes it would make some aspects of our lives much more difficult, but then again isn't the freedom to be what we each want?

and we are made to believe it is impossible or wrong. #fuckem.

Anarchy would be cool until a bunch of people genetically predisposed to violence banded together.

You mean The Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961.

I can name several places where cannabis is legal. The Netherlands not being one of those places. Its illegal there too. Just tolerated.

I didn't think it was truly legal anywhere. Where is it legal?

Pretty much anywhere it is indigenous. There might be a token law on the books to satisfy the UN, but they are rarely enforced if ever (not unlike some of the ridiculous laws still on the books in the us). There are also places where simple possession is legal. Decriminalized is still illegal, just not as much.
