Quick story of how I see things. It's going to be multiple tweets, so bear with me.

I have privilege. I'm white. I'm male. I was born in one of the richest countries in the world.

My parents had privilege. Its a dynastic thing. They are Tories. This has caused much 1/

conflict with them. Still does.

I went to boarding school at 9. Nothing says "I love you" less than kicking a kid out of their home at 9.

It affected me deeply. I didn't realise it till many years later and therapy.

However, I never felt I fitted in. Ever. To the system. 2/
I took psychedlics. Mushrooms. Heroic doses, as Terence McKenna would describe them. I don't condone this.

But, it showed me a path.

I took that path but my family hated me for it. I cared for them. They are family after all.

I changed direction. I took the blue pill. 3/
I was succesful in the capitalist machine. But I still rebelled. Or so I thought. But then, the rebellion and the machine merged.

I got lost. I started to see life and money as a way of measuring success, as so many do and I lost touch with that humanist used to be. I still 4/
yearned to be out of that system but I was part of that system as well. It was an existential crisis.

It killed my mental health. I lost touch with the beautiful people that really care about me and tread the right path and live their life that way.

I thought that I was 5/
still a rebel. But I wasn't. Not really. I was earning good money and I was helping no one. Not a soul.

I left the UK in 2017. I travelled SE Asia. Privilege. 1st Class to Bali.

Let me tell you this - when arriving in Jakarta, you just have to give your passports to a guy 6/
You do not go through customs.

You get your passport back in the lounge.

That's fucked up. I realise that now.

Over the last four years, I've unplugged from the matrix. I've taken the red pill again.

Money and all it can buy you is a dopamine hit. That's all it is 7/
It's an addiction. Society is set up as the dealer of this addiction and it's getting worse.

The Tories live for that life of privilege. Yes, it makes life easier for them. But them only.

The suffering in the world is a humanity problem. Capitalism is a problem. By the way 8/
Socialism isn't the answer either. It has great ideas and we should embrace them - but the fundamental question is - how do we fix humanity?

Dogma is pervasive. There should be no dogma.

We are entering a period of crisis. Serious crisis. And it will get worse. This pandemic 9/
Is only the start of what is to come.

We need to look at how we change things. Connect with our essence of self. We are not the mind - we are the awareness behind it.

We must push that message. Incremental change is not going to solve it for our children. It isn't. We 10/
have to action change now. There is no delay.

People are the power. Governments are there only at the will of the people. They can be changed, cajoled and downright removed. Should the collective will be there.

And that is where we are at. We must stop being focused on 11/
privilege and aspiring to it if we do not have it. Equality for all. Worldwide.

We have got lost in trying to conquer the Earth, our Mother. Without her, we would not exist. We would not have this consciousness.

We are in difficult times. But those of that believe there 12/
is a better world out there, and there is - we must get together and talk. And work on a plan. We need to do what us humans and evolution tells us we are - be connected. Symbiotic, not Survival of the Fittest. Evolution is communal.

That's my view - I hope it gets some cut 13/
through. It's really important. The world is in a dark place but I know there are so many people that are light. Most of us are the light. We just need a way of defeating the dark few.

Peace and love x
