Definitions

The world - anyone, or anything that is outside of your immediate area of control, that is constantly working to take personal control away from you.

Your life – I define your life as the things that you directly control, or that control you through your own choices (like a family).

Individual - A person that takes control over any and all aspects of their life as it pertains to them.

Introduction - There are two groups in this world that continuously work towards the disparagement of new spiritual ideologies. Our male dominated governments and business world work on the secular side of society, maintaining a basic devaluation of women in both business and government. It is true that women have made some headway in the Western world in politics, business, as in the military. Strangely it is eastern nations that elect woman as leaders more often than Western nations. Perhaps it is our western perceptions of Church and state that disallow woman as viable candidate for the highest ranking positions.

     In most Western nations there is a legal division between church and state. This allow churches to move as they please, unfettered by red tape and taxes, the only criteria to change something is the will of the membership. Yet when a person gives money to a church as a donation, the government allows for a tax deduction to be given. This allows for some power ny government over control of the church, such that governments will only give tax deductions for spiritual activities that are considered non-profit organizations. Yet the Catholic Church alone is one of the wealthiest institutions on earth, controlling a huge portion of the money given through their various institutions and charity organizations. Why is it then that no one questions the destination of this money, and when they do the stonewalling begins? This is because a church is not responsible to it’s members for the money it spends. Members are responsible to give money to keep churches running at the discretion of a few elected leaders at the top of each churches organization.

     Government and business are defined as one group. This is because they are so closely associated by the need for creating labour intensive jobs that business is often run by governmental rules and regulations, and government is often run by business agendas. Churches are legally defined as separate and distinct, yet spiritual practice can not take place in most countries without government approval. Associations between businesses and churches are unlikely to be of much profit for either, and so Churches operate the business of brainwashing the public trust unfettered by governmental rules or business agendas through regulatory commissions.

Civil and Human Rights - The reason that there is a high level of human rights in most nations is because there is a civilian police force that works for a living, and they do carry guns. By allowing local political institutions to police their constituencies with a civilian police force the undesirable methods of a military regime are avoided. Additionally, police officers are recruited from the civilian population and thus feel closer to the communities they protect. As a result of a need for a closer association between citizens and police. Authorities have learned that it would not be politically advantages give all of their authority to the military. So therefore the system persists.

     There are exceptions to this rule, countries like China and North Korea have little respect for human rights, and are consistently being caught dressing up the truth when investigated by World authorities (United Nations, NATO etc) as to their human rights record. Careful consideration must be taken with China in particular, because of their nuclear arsenal and general disdain for Western ideologies of justice and truth. Eastern countries following Chin’s lead rightfully accuse Western nations of having high crime rates and corrupt politicians in an effort to draw attention away from what is clearly the issue. Governments must have respect for their citizens. Otherwise civil unrest is sure to follow.

Women in the World order - According to the new Kundalini Feminism, the world has become a cesspool of derogation and garbage, and Hindu/Buddhist feminist spirituality teaches Goddess is here to burn and rebuild because men can’t handle the affairs of this world. This is a most extreme example of frustration created by women’s inability to get into positions of authority they are often more capable of doing than men.

     This situation can only be rectified when the world begins to understand Woman have a right to “be in the loop” as much as men do. Women do not have the conquering nature that men have. The world itself is on a spiritual journey. What frightens most men about this is that it is women that will ultimately become the leaders of the new world order. This is because women are naturally superior to men, both emotionally and mentally.

     There is an old saying about women - “A woman never knows what she wants”. This saying was obviously made up by a man. Woman always know exactly what they want. Men are just to pigheaded and self indulged to figure it out. When a woman tries to tell a man what she wants, he can’t understand, therefore writes her off as emotionally confused.

     Woman will ultimately define the world’s journey, as they have since the beginnings of human existence. The name of that definition is Mother.

Workplace Practices - The bottom line for the world is to conform everyone to it’s wishes, making everyone like itself. This is especially noticeable in the workplace. Management pawns off most of their workload upon employees, giving them the right to have authority over the workplace. Trained management no longer runs work floors. In this way management also reels away from responsibility when mistakes are made. Companies are also beginning a practice of having employees learn about the job on their own time. Labour groups continue to fight against this practice, calling it unfair. Corporations seem to disagree. There is a mandate to enslave, making work for them in your own home, without getting compensation of any kind.

     Even smaller companies are beginning to pick up on the idea that employees should be required to work outside of company time. This is the world ideology of the individual, individual slaves. There is nothing wrong with going to work for someone, provided that they pay for your labour. There should be non-compliance with the wishes of a company that does not pay for work done.

     Managers are on salary and get paid to do their job 24/7. Labourers get paid by the hour and should never have to work for free. Another management practice to add on top of this is management taking the place of labour. Now they not only want employees to work for free, but to do the job employees are supposed to get paid for. I realize that this is becoming the way of the world but nothing ever changed by you being an individual. Complaining to the government as aforementioned is an exercise in futility; government and established business work to closely together to ensure they can do what they like, so the question becomes What can we do about it.

     There are ways to get around this sort of bothersome work environment. The most common is to ignore it and move on, only putting in the time required and doing a minimum job to get through the day. There are those that continue to fight these workplace practices, through a system of personally motivated checks and balances. These people make their lack of submission to management’s request to work for free a bad idea on their part, by playing by the rules of labour law. They find out all they can about how the place being run and do it that way. Since most companies that utilize questionable practices in the workplace haven’t got a half a clue how to run their business properly the employee’s conduct will continue to make a mess of things. When employees follow the rules and policies of a questionable working environment their working practices become questionable, and eventually the company in question will have to change it’s policies, or risk being put out of business by their own ignorant stupidity.

     A vast majority of managers have a God complex when it comes to running their business. As such they are not likely to listen to ideas employees have to improve the day to day working environment. Companies tent to threaten people’s jobs when people try to make a workplace better to work at, yet steal employee ideas and take credit for someone else’s ingenuity. Then they will tell those employees to be quiet about it or once again risk losing their job. Companies know that they can’t operate without this fear being imprinted upon the minds of employees. This is yet another instance of how the world manipulates to keep people enslaved.

     Everyone is running around trying to make everyone conform to everything they want to take from each other. As nonsensical as this is, big corporations are right into this corporate cloning. This is about keeping individuals as corporate soon to be bosses . It’s not as if the corporation ever intended for any promotions, they just want to make everyone like they are, and not compensate people for the effort. This usually with brainwashing so you only think about them 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Some organizations are better at brainwashing than others but none of them seem to realize that this form of control only works for those that are willing to be controlled by it. When this technique is tried upon employees that don’t wish it, companies end up with resentful stressed out employees. If worldly organizations would spend half the effort training employees that they do trying to control them the resentment and stress could be avoided.

Advent of the Individual - It is a priority mandate for the world to contain you as an individual. This is so they can identify the person being contained. It will tell you how important your individuality is that you should listen to the world and be cared for by it.

     The problem comes in when the world has to give something back for all that has been done for it. The world will look after you, but only so long as your individuality serves its own interests. Once you begin to strive to become independent and serve others the world will cast you off quickly. This is to keep your life under worldly control.

     Try finding out something from a government office. They run people around in circles until they either end up where they started, or give up for a lack of trying. This is why government offices have so many people working there, known as a working government office. People go there to keep the government working. Individuality only becomes important because individuals keep the system going, giving the entire infrastructure a reason to exist. It does not matter if it’s all just a big waste of time. Governments will have people continue to jump through their rubber hoops until people decide enough is enough. There are after all ways to avoid some of the red tape governments put out there to purposely trip up the same people that they are sworn to serve.

     Learn all of the local bylaws that pertain to your present situation, ensuring that a sufficient police presence does not identify you as a lawbreaker. The police need to know that citizens they protect appreciate this protection, be one of those citizens that do.

Zealous Spiritualism - Every religion has Zealots. A zealot is defined as a person that takes religion to an almost patriotic level, fanatical and often violent about their spiritual or religious point of view. Mostly they mean well, just don‘t understand that their destructive behaviour is doing more harm than good.

     Throughout humankind’s history Religions have come and gone, effective to varying degrees. Some have flourished and taken hold vast areas, Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism have been around for thousands of years, and still find large numbers of the population following their ages old traditions. Some, like Taoism have found success, yet are more local in their geographic influence. Yet no matter the belief structure zealous believers have always been an issue. Always on the fringes of the main belief, their activity is usually confined to a small membership of one group. Most of the time their ideologies are questionable at best, attracting very few believers of any worth. It is ambiguous of these groups to call themselves newly formed, since most of their beliefs are based on the traditions of larger and more widely accepted religious organizations.

     When a group of believers steps far enough away from the main objectives of their parent church or religious organization, they can no longer be associated with the religious organization as a whole. These is usually a harmless zealousness, with the ideology bordering upon the original teachings, but taking a slant away for the mainstream religion. These groups are known as cults. The problem with cults is that they are generally not monitored by anyone, allowing them to become as dangerous as the leaders dictate. When a cult becomes this dangerous to society it is usually too late to help the members, or investigators that have been hurt or killed as a result. This is why open cult activity is often looked upon by outsiders as dangerous right from the outset.

Leadership - Ask yourself this question. Why is it that every leader claims that you have to listen to them? Well the fact is that you don’t. Choose to listen only to the good ones.

     It has been said that a good leader is a good servant. Good leaders try to help make everyone’s life better, and understand about leadership. First of all a good leaders do not want followers, they want team players, all knowing what to do and working together in a harmony of respect for the team. This is set into motion, the leader is in charge directing this motion, but the team players already know what they have to do. A good team will lead itself based upon a well devised plan developed by the team leader, adhered to by all the members of the team.

     Bad Leaders are a lot like mosquitoes. They sneak around and try to suck out your blood one drop at a time, hardly noticeable, but after a while become a hated annoyance that is never completely avoidable. If you don’t agree with them either they cut off from the team or eliminate your team influence all together. This type of leader is always right, and yet makes mistakes, then blames the team members when something goes wrong. New ideas are routinely chastised by the team, and insulted by the leader, team members are afraid to stand up to this, lest they loose their place on the team. This type of leader leads by fear, attrition and usually some kind of retribution to precede the termination of a team member.

     Bad leaders are the way they are because they do not want to deal with a bad situation. This does not mean problems should not be reported to them, but expect to receive the blame for being the barer of bade tidings. It is easier for a bad leader to assign blame for the problem then to take the responsibility to get it fixed. Once things are flowing again these leaders usually stay away provided nothing else is reported. Should a leader of this sort wish to assign blame for something that is not your fault, patiently explain the situation, and do your best just to keep things flowing.

     Let us all try to be the first kind of leader. Take some responsibility when something goes wrong get to the bottom of why. Become proactive in the fixing process. Show that as the leader there is a mandate to get things running smoothly again, and that finding fault never helps in any situation. That’s all any leader really wants. For things to go smoothly.

Making the World a Better Place - So here we are in our spiritual existence, at the crossroads believing, whereby we go into our lives knowing that something more exists within us than just that which we know and that which we feel. Once we have crossed this line of countenance there is no turning back. You begin a process of thinking and feeling we call LOUPA – a letter to submit each of the concepts that now begin to grow within you as you approach your awakening experience. Listening; Obedience; Understanding; Perception; Action. Dragonfire teaches that the way in which we conduct ourselves supersedes any predestined ideal of what we believe about spirituality.

LOUPA - Listening – You won’t get anywhere without learning to listen. Most people can listen when it comes to taking basic instructions. When it comes to spiritual listening we enter a whole new way of listening. Listen with your heart and mind; really try to feel what it is that you are hearing. And not all listening comes as a voice message. Lessons come to you through reading, and most often just by inspiration. Suddenly a concept that was completely outside of your ability to understand comes to you and you must listen to what intuition is telling you. You will have to drop your pride, swallow that ignorance and really hear what your intuition is saying to you. Intuition comes to you as a feeling of peace and grace, through the understanding of a concept that you are now not only comfortable with, but that you need to incorporate into your lifestyle. Intuition is the first form of self awareness, and will continue to guide you for as long as you listen to it. You should listen with your ears and eyes, but you get a lot further with spirituality when you begin to listen with your heart and mind.

LOUPA - Obedience – Obedience is the key to Listening. It profits you nothing to listen if you refuse to obey what you know to be true. So listen carefully. Truth is personal to you. One person’s truth may be a lie to another. As individuals we have to learn to obey what is our true path. If you decide that you will obey the teachings of another make sure they work for you and by this I mean test them out for yourself. Unless what is being proposed to you is actually dangerous to try on your own there is nothing that says you cannot obey another person’s idea if you believe it will work for you. We generally advocate using our imaginations to decide upon weather or not a spiritually motivated physical activity will be best for you. Try to imagine yourself obeying the person leading the activity in question and decide weather or not you want to try it for real. If it is an illegal activity we strongly advise you stay clear of it, you don’t want to end up in jail for someone else’s spiritual goals. Obedience begins with you, and it is ultimately your decision who you will obey. Always be careful when looking into a new spiritualist idea. Remember that all spiritualism is created by people, even if it is inspired by Deities, it is still created by people. And people make mistakes.

LOUPA - Understanding – Understanding brings us around again to the topic of intuition. But the ability to understand is much more than that. Understanding is a process that like spiritualism breaks down the mind until only the most basic concept is left, without distraction or any other concept influencing the process. Understanding does not begin in the mind; it begins within your heart. Your emotional centers pick up on a concept or idea and you try to equate that by how you feel about it. For example, the Christian idea that Jesus is the messiah will have a different emotional impact upon a Jew than a Christian, simply because they express a different point of view about this statement. The emotional impact of this statement rests within the mind after it is activated in order to consider it, and then the experience and learning you have at that time will decide how you will understand the statement. This is why it is so important that you begin to find the spiritual path that is most comfortable for you as an individual right from the get go. As soon as you realize that you are becoming spiritually aware, start to look for a system of belief that you understand in simplest terms, but also that feels perfect and comfortable to you yourself. Allowing outside influences to persuade your understanding of spiritual ideals purely and simply is another person trying to brainwash you, and unless you feel comfortable with what your being told you should not allow it, Understanding flows best when it is a personal victory to suddenly “get it”. Once you have reached a point of understanding, now that you understand the process, simply repeat it, allowing your intuition to guide as to what you will accept and what you won’t.

LOUPA - Perception – This is the one where the spiritual tricksters will try to get to you. Perception is the way your mind sees or understands the world around it, not based upon experience, but rather upon intuition. It just so happens that you also perceive spiritual ideas in a similar way, we tend to try to follow signs and events as spiritual, but it is only our perception of things that make us believe things to be so. For Example - The Deceiver will try to tell you that we are at the end of days because we have wars and floods and earthquakes. If you have a narrow minded perception you will believe this to be true. But with a wider minded perception you would realize fairly quickly that we have been at the end of days for the last million or so years!! Let us continuously remind ourselves that perception is just a form double checking our understanding process, a sort of intuition after the fact. How we perceive should not have anything to do with the world around us, this is illusion. How we perceive should stay within our minds as a check point to anyone trying to get us to perceive things their way. Once you find the path that’s right for you STAY ON IT.

The only perception you need to have after this is that which keeps you on the path that you are most comfortable with and on which you are most likely to succeed as a person.

LOUPA - Action – You can’t live a spiritual life until you begin to act upon some of the things your intuition has been pushing you to do. One of the most obvious examples would be to read up on the direction you have chosen to take your spiritualism and try to understand it better. None of the above occurs unless you act upon what it is you believe. Changing the way you do things is probably one of the best ways to show your new found faith. A good example of this is you have more patience with people, and that you treat others with love and respect more often than not. As you begin to learn the aspects of what spiritualism means to you other things will follow, lifestyle changes, usually a clutter free simplification of your space is a good example of a person that is spiritually aware or awakened. What you do for yourself and to and for others makes all the difference in your LOUPA process. LOUPA becomes a self awareness self processing event that brings you right up to the abyss of spiritualist awakening. You only at this point have one more choice to make. Face your fear and fall into the unknown, or allow fear to keep you back. By this point fear should no longer be a problem, Take it from me the unknown is a lot better than the previously known. You can’t learn and grow unless you face a few unknowns in your life. It’s the point to all action.

Conclusion - LOUPA is the basis for all psychological growth. Most of the time people want to be heard, but don’t listen, and when they do their perceptions of what is heard leads to a self imposed paranoia. By following the recommendations of the Dragonfire way this can be avoided. Learn to listen, understand what is being said, and perceive through acts of obedience. The idea is to make the world a pro-active place whereby everyone is working to make things better. Humanity may never be perfect. This does not mean that we don’t continue to make things better.

Taking back what’s Yours - Governments and corporations a common mandate for it’s citizens to spend money. But most people work for these corporations. When people earn money income taxes are deducted, as well as any government pensions, employment programs (etc.) Yet those people that pay the most money into these programs will never see even close to that amount of money back. Most of the money paid for these service programs is being paid out to people already retired, leaving nothing in the way of security for the people paying the bills. There is a rulebook as well for employment benefits - should a person not fit an exact criteria, they are not eligible. The only people eligible for government benefits are those that have a correct attitude towards being enslaved by societies rich and powerful. When a company literally screws you out of your job, the government will pay you to look for another job. This, once again is nonsensical, a spiral downward of wages prices tax potential and consumer spending power. The banks kick in by offering credit cards and a promise to pay them off when times get better, known as a consolidation of credit. What it really is amounts to a consolidation of your debt, with a licence to spend the rest of the debt potential at a greatly increased interest rate. When pay does not go up, things get worse, prices go up, and if your wage changes it goes down. The banks laterally force you into a consolidation, allowing you some leeway for continued spending. Then they can do it all over again. It’s called the spiral of revolving debt.

     Another government-bank run spending scheme relates to housing prices. They would have everyone believe that the price of houses fluctuates by free market systems of supply and demand. It is interesting to note how property values soar when people no longer have equity to borrow against and continue their practice of borrow and spend. When the general population reaches this point suddenly houses become worth more money. As soon as more equity exists for people banks try to take us to the cleaners against equity previously non-existent, except when they find the need to create it. . The banks are very good at keeping us in debt. The governments continue to raise taxes, and corporations cut wages and raise prices. By the time discipline becomes a necessity in most peoples spending practices the damage is quite extensive. Most of the people that get caught in this scam end up owing more than double in debt to the banks than the original purchase price of their home or business at the time of purchase.

     In Canada we have something called an environmental levy on all recyclable plastic bottles. For 50 years glass bottles were fine, but new government regulations state breakage contamination and broken glass in a product can cause serious injury. The government actually has a good point about something for a change. So then why are there not plastic bottles that are biodegradable. We can make a spacesuit that will withstand heat and cold to temperature differences of up to 300 degrees Celsius on the moon so its difficult to accept that we can’t make a biodegradable Pop Bottle? This has a lot to do with payment of recycling fees. Recycling fees are collected by local governments to help pay for an environmental product protection program based upon the idea of recycling. The idea is that liquid products should be placed in new bottles each time a product is put on the shelf. City property taxes are usually raised to accommodate recycling programs, the recycler takes pop bottles. The Federal government in Canada takes 4 cents every time we buy a soft drink in a plastic bottle, when we pay the city to recycle them already. This is because after the plastic is recycled it is shipped in bulk back to the pop bottle companies to be reused as new plastic bottles. The federal government provides this shipping service free of charge to the pop companies, because we pay for it at the retail level. This would be understandable if there was a crossing of boarders to accommodate boarder fees, otherwise this is just another blatant grab for our money by the Federal government. Most of our Canadian soft drinks are bottled in Canada. It would be understandable if the bottles were being shipped in or out to and from the United States, plastic from another country should be levied. But if the bottles are being made here, then there is no reason for the levy. Corporations are tight-lipped about this fiasco, calling it no big deal. With soft drink sales into the billions of dollars, 4 cents per bottle could turn into a very big deal, and could be better spent on a more productive sector of the economy; or better yet, the government could use it to pay for some of the health costs drinking soft drinks create in the first place.

     So let’s take a step back and have a look at the bigger picture. Much of what is sold has hidden costs, levies, or taxes. Finding out which products have these costs is extremely difficult, even in information age. Since it has become nearly impossible to live without levied goods buying only what we need has become our economic experts’ first advice. That advice only comes when society is already doing this out of necessity rather than common sense, a commodity that is free to all. Let us as people allow it not to be spent so recklessly into the future. This way society will have a future.

Respect for all people - The solution to the problems of the world is simple to state, yet difficult to achieve. Treat people with love, respect and friendship. We can’t go on being a part of a world that oppresses and enslaves. If you show respect and honesty towards people they should return it with trust. Is this the definition of a perfect world? Maybe not. It is however the first step towards a world that is equitable for everyone to live in.

Summary and Conclusion - In closing there are several personal points I wish to make.

- In a workaday world with both parents working and kids still in school money should not have to become a big issue. Live as simply possible to alleviate the pressure of money issues. Keeping money as an issue out of the picture makes your hectic days easier to cope with knowing that at least all of the bills are paid and the food eventually did get onto the table.

- Make shopping day a home based adventure. Find the cheapest stuff you can find by online shopping. Order online, keeping to major department store chain websites. You can order 1000.00 worth of stuff for free delivery or buy it from the stores, and spend 40.00 on gas to get it. Not to mention the time you save ordering online, you will actually have more time to do what you need to do, followed by what you want to do. Generally they deliver right to your door. You will still have to go out shopping for some items such as milk and eggs. I also recommend that you pick up glass or ceramics directly from their places of origin.

- Make more time for staying at home. I find that some of my most rewarding personal and family time has been spent back actually staying at home. Financially it costs very little, if not, nothing. Also, taking the family out on a shopping spree at the local mall does not even compare to being at home together with your family enjoying an activity that you can all do together. So try staying at home once in a while. You’ll like it.

Here’s a short list of don’ts
