What inhibits changes?
 
BeiYin: Is it possible to 'create new structures and  capabilities within our society' to make changes happen?
   Real changes can only happen when the structure of the system changes, not just the visible  outside but  the invisible background structure, then also the base would be affected. Is this possible? Can there new structures be 'created'? It looks to me, that this is just an idea, pretty far from any practice of life. How can there new structures be created? Who is going to do this and what would make this person capable to create new structures? On top of the old ones? 
   It is against the nature of any kind of system and so also the human system, to look for changes by changing the structure. Changes by one's own wish only will be allowed within one's established structure, so there can't be nothing 'new'. Everything really new will be rejected or ignored. If ignoring is not possible then the defense system will react aggressively and the influence will be eliminated. 
   That's indeed why there is that much ignorance and aggression in the Internet (and everywhere). Most discussions have the average Internet level and of course within the old structure. (With the result of all the misunderstanding, the attacks and manipulation, apart of the anyway pretty low level of the Internet.) Practically all goes around materialistic view points. Money is the first, then organization, then development of one's different aspects of one's personality, power, property, etc. New aspects seldom show up and  spiritual viewpoints not coming from existing concepts seem to be something exotic and are ignored. Of course everybody has more or less one's 'spiritual' behavior which will be taken and included into one's opinion if necessary, but this runs beside the old normal, materialistic world view. The world view of humanity is mainly based on this established materialistic spiritual view and there is no space for something 'new'. The main concern of humanity (the mainstream) is to establish and strengthen (develop) each one's personality. There are survival strategies using spiritual and religious concepts, but they are more used as rose colored varnish to cover unbearable reality. So maybe it is too early to ask for new structures and it would be more effective to make all possibilities available to develop one's personality? We know that if the most basic needs are not fulfilled like food, a sex partner, a dry warm bed, there is no interest to learn about anything else. 
   Who is ready to change one's structure, because one has fulfilled all needs and has come to the point when all this is not enough to feel really satisfied, (this might be a very long process) might work on this to build a new structure for him/herself but it seems useless to try even to mention it to other people. Every thing expressed coming out of something new, which represents another aspect, will be ignored by other people or ridiculed, or it will be integrated into the old structure. This happened to all visions or messages which came out as expressions from experiences of an individual growing process (which goes beyond personality!) They were reduced and pulled down to the personal needs and adapted into the structure of ideologies, religions, dogmas, concepts or other kinds of dreams and images, which then have a more vague impersonal structure. 
   Can one fight against old structures which are representing the 'normal' existence as the state of consciousness at this moment? Which are hold tied by personalities with all means, even dullness and rigid thinking. It can't be different, that's part of the defense system and there is no space for creativity or openness. 
   (Sorry to be that direct, but I don't believe it is possible or even necessary to be 'polite', if we want to talk about 'new structures' which might occur in new ways to live and this could start for example in new forms of living in communities. Which also will include new ways to communicate, then we have to be aware that it is necessary to break certain patterns and go beyond the average thinking models of society, and one model is to be kind and polite, what of course is a smoother way do deal with people, but apart of this it is also part of the personal protection and defense system, sometimes we have to be direct and go to the point, even it might hurt.)
   I don't think it is possible to cause a change by fighting against the established system, that seems to be useless and will only strengthen the defense. 'Creating new structures' probably means to design new concepts and try to establish them slowly by living them. Does this function? Sometimes it looks like it does, when there is a protected setup which excludes the normal society. So people are forming communities with the intent to live their 'new concept'. This can't function because it is not possible to adapt a new structure outside to live it when the old structure inside persists. Although one might feel pretty desperate about the horrifying situation of this world and trying to change something, probably it will fail. -  So what can be done? 
   'FalconBlanco' is the intent to find a new way of living and exists since nearly twenty five years and there is something visible done. There is something 'new'. There is some experience on the materialistic level but what counts in the first place are the experiences on the human level, what means that the most important is what goes beyond one's
personality. But  in the Internet nobody seems to be interested. It's amazing, when I write about spiritual and human aspects, that's annoying for people.
   Anyway, I will go on with my writing, because I don't know anything better to do at the moment. Don't you think it is necessary that another viewpoint is expressed apart of the materialistic and pseudo spiritual views? Yes, there are a few more voices, although they are drawn into the mass of mundane scatter and chatter. Anyway, it is good that there is something different, because this shows that a change is possible, even though it starts just with a few...
