How many of us would really give up every­thing to fol­low truth and share every­thing they have? I know I would’nt do this. It would be a new age mug game. Very much point­less and lead­ing to a dead end.

The big­ger truth is that the only thing that helps us is the net­works we estab­lish for our­selves.

One of my old mates who is a very high rank­ing 9th dan nin­jitsu mas­ter told me a story years ago while i was in his class.

He said life is all about net­works and estab­lish­ing net­works. He told me he had a mates who were builder„plumber, char­tered accountant,police officer,solicitor,structural engineer,etc. He said with the right kind of net works life runs very smoothly. He also men­tioned there is no ulti­mate truth only a sub­jec­tive peace and under­stand­ing that we gain from med­i­ta­tion and estab­lish­ing the right sort of net works. I lost touch with this mate a few years ago.
He men­tioned with out his net works if his plumb­ing went he would have the stress of find­ing a plumber if he bought a house he would have to pay for a struc­tural engi­neer and if his mate was not a clever accoun­tant he be alot more skint


I men­tioned this story a while back on icke forum.

A few years ago me and my girl­friend got a coun­cil house .We were skint we had a 2 month old baby .
The house was unfur­nished and filthy we had hardly any money for baby milk food etc. We slept on the wooden floor and it was freez­ing .
I had a mate who used to go shoplift­ing for baby clothes ‚milk etc for us.

We spoke to social ser­vices who told us sorry there is no help for us no safety net any­more. It was then that I realised the stu­pid­ity of a mass wak­ing move­ment because at the end of the day even thoe i thought i was part of a mass move­ment i realised deep down we are all on our own ‚and the only thing that is real is the net­works we estab­lish for our­selves.

These net­works can be religion,politics,various social groups that meet up for fel­low­ship etc.

The main thing is to find your tribe.

My girl­friend knew a sin­gle mother of 4 chil­dren who used to live in Hack­ney Lon­don in a high rise block. She was trapped and felt depressed .She lived in the block for a few years then became a born again chris­t­ian {tribe} and joined a church and her life was never the same .The church helped her move out of high rise block into a 3 bed house up north .She was no longer alone but had a whole net­work of friends to help her out and to socialise with.

Another one of my mates was a heroin addict had tried detox many times and always ended up in the same cirlce of friends again he went of to samye-​ling Bud­dhist cen­ter in Scot­land and had his whole life turn around .

Only 4 years ago my mate jamie heroin aad­dict for years got involved in the Mor­mon church { i know its wacky} and met a mor­mon girl in the church cou­ple years later now mar­ried with a kid on way never looked happier.

My mates sister ended up at this place and never left.

in essence that is why humans first began grouping together - they could more effectively provide for themselves working together. Strength in numbers etc.

The group with the greatest numbers or strength or resources or a combination is what gives a group power. So groups have to entice people in with the offer of help and community and then retain them.

Part of 'truth' seeking for me is in creating networks and joining 'groups' that are not only mutually beneficial but also not seeking to gain power over other groups - that are not seeking to gain power over resources through suppressing other groups and those where I do not feel as if I am just another 'cog'.
