Previously in _Training the Modern Slave_

The previous episode of this series [_Training the Modern Slave_](https://steemit.com/writing/@therealpaul/training-the-modern-slave-part-1-money-magic) was about modern society’s worship of a God called MONEY, where that society imagines themselves into debt slavery by their deep religious submittal to the power of the almighty dollar.

Modern society not only created their god money out of nothing but imagination, the same society decided that parental supervision would be required for us all to play safely on Earth, so they have imagined _parents_ for everyone, and they have named their fantasy parents GOVERNMENT.

If you’ve been dropped off on this planet like the rest of us have been-- born without a clue, then you know that our government was handed to us by a previous generation of Earthlings who basically said _”Here’s your babysitter, have a nice day.”_ ![gov1 (1).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRNbx11aHHwjExUb8tFDH7NLDxiZTk7jpxBqdmrWfB9qy/gov1%20(1).jpg)

The Fantasy:

There is a sadness about modern society, a lingering feeling of abandonment, as our own human history is cluttered with mystery: _where did we come from? **Why don’t we really know where we came from?**_ Orphaned on Earth, we are like abandoned children, and are thereby forced to pretend that we have the protection of a father and the nurturing touch of a mother. Together, such an abandoned society will pretend those parental units into existence in the form of _government._

Pretending to be Supervised; A Childish Game

By delegating our own authority over to these fantasy parents called our government, we have managed to shatter our own real families, and we now clutch onto a mirage instead of a mother, honoring a fantasy instead of a father. Having imagined such an authority into our lives, we are like children who refuse to go out to play without parental supervision, and won’t go to the playground unattended for fear of punishment.

_We are like children, yet we’ve forgotten how to play._

We Have Named This Parental Fantasy: _Our Government._

Even in our childish fantasies, we seem to still insist on imagining a strong father to protect us from evil, and we pretend to have a mother who will always feed us a nutritional lunch in a timely manner. Together, these imagined proxy parents called _government_ can then guide us, leading us around like ducklings. Abandoned on Orphanage Earth, we fabricated these dummy grown-ups out of trauma, and the group mind has a way of bringing such dummies as these to life in a most realistic fashion.

_We are so creative that we have made the fantasy of government look real, and we have crafted it so that it seems nurturing and attractive, strong and bright._

Imagine a Government...

It would be one thing if there was even a thin plastic surface which held this fantasy known as government together-- this vast, fattened bag of human air-- but it is completely imagined, animated only by the dreams of a population that has been trained to give it’s own power and authority away to some higher force, _even if that higher force has to be pretended into existence._

Avoiding _Response-Ability_

responsibility | rəˌspänsəˈbilədē | noun (plural responsibilities)

The ability to respond, our _responsibility_ is one of the ways that the human world is formed.

When we _respond_ to a thing, our response is often an action of some kind-- a physical deed which will have some kind of influence upon the physical world. By erecting a proxy parent called government, the children of Earth can feel like they have been relieved of any responsibility for their actions, and now that erected governing body can take all of the blame for any problems in the world, so that we children can blissfully play outside all day.

The Legendary Power of Humans

Such a creative force as a population of humans can make a fantasy hurt, and can make that fantasy _real enough._ Once that creative force is piped into a centrally focused fantasy, that illusion can become the reality of things for that group, especially if that centrally focused fantasy was a cultural fantasy, handed to them by their own family at birth. ![Screen Shot 2018-03-10 at 4.28.51 PM.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmc2FT3YNVEbwLRMnXNSxqRWQdtY9DY5MAToCGUwL82riG/Screen%20Shot%202018-03-10%20at%204.28.51%20PM.png)

We Have Imagined This World Into Existence

We have imagined a world that suits very few of the humans who are living in it, and even if we had time to imagine a better version of life, we dare not, since that would mean we would expose the illusion that society has erected, and would certainly mean that we would then be responsible for any explosions in the laboratory of life.

In Life, There Will Be Explosions

_Every action has an equal and opposite reaction,_ and every human interface with the physical world is chemical in nature.

Just like the chemistry in a bubbling science lab, a beaker full of one thing can be mixed with another, and while sometimes the mixture creates a display of colorful flowering crystals, other times it explodes in the technician’s face.

We must have thought that we could hire chemists to manage our laboratory of life, to grow the lovely flowers for us, and to keep things from exploding in our faces.

Humanity-- so fresh and young-- must have thought that it needed some adults around, a handful of grown-ups who would be obliged to take responsibility for the serious stuff, so that the rest of us can enjoy our childhood.

The Group Mind is Childish and Immature

We individual beings know that we are responsible for our own actions, and that we can't blame any of our own fellow humans for anything that we do ourselves, but the mind of a pack of humans is child-like and perpetually immature. The society has insisted on a government to blame, and the individuals within that society might go along with the fantasy, just to get along.

We don't want to be like that when we grow up, do we?

The next time someone tells you that you should support your government, know that they are living in a fantasy. It's not their fault; they were born into it, and were shunned when they questioned it the first time. They were encouraged to pretend a government into existence from the very beginnings of their lives, so the illusion is built from many layers of indoctrination. It's not that humanity needed governance, it's that humanity is young, immature and irresponsible, and a fantasy government is a handy thing to blame when things go wrong with the world. In training the modern slave, we can see that taking control of a population's imagination is the first thing that is done, and getting a society to imagine an external authority figure with all of their creative power is taught to each generation through schools, jobs, and an ever-present police/military presence in their minds.

It's as if there were dark sorcerers controlling the mind of society, somehow getting into the heads of the individual humans when they are babies.

Coming next in this series, perhaps we should examine such a notion as dark sorcerers controlling the minds of children, and devices like Disney, television and Hollywood might be a place to begin that examination. --------------- _all artwork above is mine, 2018_ _Training the Modern Slave, so far in this series:_ - [Introduction](https://steemit.com/writing/@therealpaul/training-the-modern-slave-intro-to-part-1) - [Training the Modern Slave, Part 1: Money Magic](https://steemit.com/writing/@therealpaul/training-the-modern-slave-part-1-money-magic) ![IMG_2143.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcFQFiVxHbWWdmDxkzkbJtTexo2Yjj8yCfTsQZBrG8DY9/IMG_2143.jpg)
