"Because that’s the thing about Scooby-Doo: The bad guys in every episode aren’t monsters, they’re liars.
I can’t imagine how scandalized those critics who were relieved to have something that was mild enough to not excite their kids would’ve been if they’d stopped for a second and realized what was actually going on. The very first rule of Scooby-Doo, the single premise that sits at the heart of their adventures, is that the world is full of grown-ups who lie to kids, and that it’s up to those kids to figure out what those lies are and call them on it, even if there are other adults who believe those lies with every fiber of their being. And the way that you win isn’t through supernatural powers, or even through fighting. The way that you win is by doing the most dangerous thing that any person being lied to by someone in power can do: You think."

"Meditation is the art of cleaning your mirror from all the dust that the society, the religion, the educational system has poured on you, to take away everything that has not been born with you, to bring you to your absolute innocence as you were born as a child."

I feel so hopeless. With this system of capitalism and social control, and with so much of society blinded or refusing to see what's before them, what can we possibly do to save humanity. 'Small acts of love,' I always hear, but I know that something else needs to happen. What can this be? A revolution?
A revolution of organization and persistence. Once one understands the various nonsensical social constructs and delusions that the majority of mankind has succumbed to, one can address them, and make change on a personal level with others.
Cut out all distractions and replace time spent on them with something constructive. Be honest in everything that you do. Honesty is always constructive, no matter the pain it may appear to bring about initially.
Anything else that I can suggest can easily be summarized into simply maintaining genuinely intimate relationships with others. The entire system acts as a method of sustaining separation, which in turn cultivates mental illness. What we must do is disestablish the conditioned misconceptions that convey that we are not one with all life and we will know love and unity.
This is all somewhat general but for further elaboration on specific delusions, you can view some of my written pieces here: Transcending Delusions.
