The Abolishment of Upper, Middle, and Lower Class

Words are our most important, critical tools (and, hence, phrases and sentences.) The more we ‘dull them down’ the less detailed we can fashion and sculpt thought, and, therefore, our world. The more reckless and vague phrases and distinctions, the more dangerous or useless they become. Politicians have mastered dull-speak and useless (if not dangerous) distinctions. Most of the debates in current elections cover topics of no true consequence (other than the continued dulling down, discrimination, and segregation of people.)

Some of you may be familiar with the works of George Orwell and his book “1984.” He created “newspeak” in this prophetic work. Many may argue that his prophesy of enslavement through thought did not come to pass. I would beg to differ. Our society merely ‘looks’ different, but rest assured, an oligarchy of repression and oppression are securely in place, and it is only through clarity and awareness that we can unseat it. We must not fall victim to “Newspeak.”

I URGE YOU TO LEARN ABOUT NEWSPEAK: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspeak

We often get ‘bent over’ or ‘worked up’ when we talk about ‘the classes’ (lower, middle, upper.) This limited delineation of the classification of people is way out-of-date. I consider myself part of “the Active Class.” Both ‘middle class’ and/or ‘working class’ carry connotations which I do not want any part of. Also, I aspire to wealth (in all areas of my life.) Ergo, I would not want to use the term ‘upper class’ as it has a derogatory connotation. Appropriately so, as it passes as ‘better than’ judgement on people that have less money.

I propose we abolish using the terms upper, middle, and lower class. (We might also term these as rich, working, and poor classes.) These terms do not serve in a practical way. They do serve as divisive distinctions for propaganda and controlling and/or distracting people from the ‘real’ (useful) issues. This ‘monetary’ distinction between people is actually rather destructive in nature. It portrays money as the root of importance. Hence, the ‘lower classes’ (both middle and poor) deduce that ‘money is the root of all evil.’ They also deduce that power corrupts. All of that ‘thought’ is nonsense. It’s limited. Distinctions based on how something IS in the world rather than how something MOVES or ACTS in the world are basically ‘hearsay’ (rumor) and inadmissible in the ‘court of universal law.’ Actions speak louder than words. Is a ‘good person’ that shoots someone better than a ‘bad person’ that feeds someone? It’s nonsense! ACTION (a reliable reflection of BEING) is key. Let’s start watching the verbs rather than the nouns (names.) (‘talk about a class act!)

The true core of class distinction comes down to ACTION and COMPASSION. Hence, I propose four NEW classes:

THE UPPER ACTIVE CLASS

THE LOWER ACTIVE CLASS

THE LOWER PASSIVE CLASS

THE UPPER PASSIVE CLASS

UPPER ACTIVE CLASS: The class that is rich-in-spirit (upper in consciousness) and actively participates in the world. They move the world (in a practical sense). All live in abundance as they flow with motion. (This class happens to include financially ‘rich’ and financially ‘poor’ people. Money and power are not a distinction here.) They give to others. They receive from others. They share their wealth whether that be wealth of spirit, mind, money, power, work, property, product, etc. They are in action WITH compassion. They take care of themselves and others. They are the movers and shakers, both big and small. They are the life-blood of this world.

LOWER ACTIVE CLASS: The only distinction here is that this active class does not have compassion. (Lower in consciousness.) They are selfish. They actually live in a ‘lack mentality’ and are poor of spirit. They participate in the world, but at others’ expense and detriment. They do this under the false belief that there is not enough to go around, and it’s better to ‘do unto others before they do unto you.’ They are the ‘bad blood’ in the world.

LOWER PASSIVE CLASS (dead weight). The ‘stuck’ class. Low in consciousness–most likely nearly unconscious. The class that is all poor-in-spirit. This includes financially ‘rich’ people and financially ‘poor’ people. The financially well-off people in this class live in fear and greed. They hoard money, power, property, services, and products through fear of lack. The financially ‘poor’ people in this group are consummate victims. They are at the whim of the movers in the world. They do nothing to change their lot in life nor the lot of others. They are not evolving. This whole class (whether with or without money, mansions, food, shelter) is a drain and burden to the planet and its inhabitants. They do not treat the Earth, the people, the plants, the animals or even possessions with any respect, gratitude, or reverence. They truly are the energy and resource vampires of this world. They are the ‘blood suckers’ in the world.

UPPER PASSIVE CLASS. (Ultimate consciousness?) I almost hesitate to include this, but by deduction, it must exist (even now). This rare class consists of the real ‘holy people’ –the gurus at the mountain top. Perhaps they serve an unseen ‘active’ participation in the world in that they ‘hold the balance’ mindfully, spiritually, and ‘thoughtfully’ for the poor-in-spirit. At minimum, they are role models for people to aspire to, so they do create movement. Perhaps their ‘being’ is so enlightened that their presence itself is movement in the world. (Certainly they cause action and movement.) My suspicion is that few of them ever truly just sit atop the mountain. (Hence this passive class does not remain in existence….it sort of evaporates in a puff of light into Nirvana.) At minimum, these people actively educate others. (Christ was a teacher.) At maximum, they give their every last action to and for others. (Mother Teresa lived with, fed, clothed, nursed, and comforted the poor on the streets of Calcutta.) These people are the heart of the world.

What is your class?
