Disconnect from the Control Paradigm



Disconnect from
the Control
Paradigm

We talk a lot about connection,
and since we want to shift into
a connection paradigm, that’s
unsurprising. But there’s also
power in disconnection, and you
have the power to disconnect
from the control paradigm.
We’re taught that the world works
in certain ways, and that to be
part of the “real world”, we have
no choice but to participate, to
play the same games everyone else
plays.
This is a lie. You can choose to opt
out.
Television that numbs our minds,
news that tells us to live in fear,
the 9-to-5 job culture that stifles
us, politics that disempower
us, religions that put chains on
spirituality, public school that
teaches kids to conform and obey,
the food industry that disconnects
us from nature, control-based
copyright laws, the societal norms
that tell us who we can and can’t
be. Say no. Opt out. Opting out of
even one of these systems changes
the world by showing others that
they have a choice, too.
Choose to live your life differently,
and you start a revolution simply
by being yourself.
