A modern day slave

[beingofindigolight]

I am going to start working soon. I am in the process of getting a job through B.V.R. (bureau of vocational rehabilitation) because I have not worked in years. I wan't to work and earn my own money like everyone else and I don't. I don't mind working but why should I get up bright and early every day go out and bust my ass so that I can contribute to a society that has always rejected me. In my opinion if I'm not good enough for society than I'm not good enough to work for society. Someone might say yea but your good enough to accept social security checks which come from societys tax dollars, but my monthly social security check is the least that society can do for me after all of the hell that society has put me through throughout my life.

Im a little nervous about working and I better get in shape because I'll brobably be getting into some fights with common assholes who feel the need to bully me, degrade me, and belittle me to lift themselves up. I probably won't be making much more than I already recieve on social security because I don't have a college diploma or much work experience. When I was a foster kid I was a slave and I learned how to do all kinds of stuff but that doesn't count on a reseme. I don't want to work not because I'm lazy but because society has rejected me, alienated me, shunned me, and ostrisized me, so why should I work for society to get a pay check that is just enough to survive on and keep me alive to work another day like a slave?

Perhaps you could try to look forward to this, with a positive approach Try to picture the ideal job, with the ideal colleagues, in the ideal location, working for an ideal boss, for an ideal wage.

Picture having good, slightly distanced relationships with co-workers -- in other words, you all respect each other, you don't tell each other every personal bit of information but you work well together as colleagues.

Set some goals with regard to things you would like to buy. this will give you an incentive to get up each morning. Each day will bring you closer to the things you are aiming to purchase.

If you expect it to be a negative experience, well, it just might be! My suggestion is that you expect it to be a positive experience

As someone said to me, years ago, "When embarking on something new -- the unknown -- have high hopes, but moderate expectations. That way you won't be disappointed, but you just might be pleasantly surprised."

Good luck

In the UK there are now schemes that force unemployed people into forced unpaid labour where they have no choice but attend or lose benefits

Re. being rejected by society...... try to love yourself, and to accept yourself. Try to accept other people as they are -- if they are not nice to you, don't take it personally.

This world is full of people who are bitter or snobbish or rivalrous. Work on making yourself happy -- after all, no matter what other people say or do, you're the one who has to live with your own thoughts

Happiness is a choice; we can choose to be happy regardless of other people's opinions of us.

Besides, people who don't know us, know nothing about us, so how could they possibly judge us?

Make the decision that you are perfect. Be polite to others but don't expect every person to accept you. Life just doesn't work that way.

Remember that those who are nasty or judgmental, act that way because they are filled with self-doubt and/or self-loathing. People who are happy are nice to everybody

When you encounter others' ignorance, just smile and walk away, because you are too good for that

Sending you lots of good vibes and healing energy, beingofindigolight

Thank you Grounded Gifts. I wasn't sure if someone would reply to this thread or not. I didn't expect you to reply but I'm glad you did. I believe that the indigo spirits that I see all the time and are always with me are members of the angelic hierarchy and since I'm one of them that makes me an angel in a human body. I think that indigo spirits rank low within the angelic hierarchy but as angels they are still very high ranking and powerful souls. Sometimes I get visited by a gold spirit and I sense that the gold spirit is a much higher ranking spirit than the indigo spirits and I think that the angels of pure white light rank the highest. I have plenty of angels watching over me believe it or not but the more the marrier. Thanks again

That means that it is time for the citizens of the UK to rise up and overthrow their government so they can create a better one.

[Rum]

it happens in the states too apparently there is a fair bit of protesting about it here and company's that use the scheme are being boycotted so some are dropping out of the scheme

I've also had long periods of unemployment in my life too and to be honest i prefer to be working even just for my sanity i get bored to easily when at home all the time, I wish you all the best with whatever it is you land up doing and hope its something that you enjoy.

No offense Grounded Gifts but real angels don't look anything like the angels in your picture. I have seen one before in my minds eye so I know what they actually look like, but I usually see them as lights. Angels don't have wings, they have rays of light that project out from every part of their light body especially their upper for head and the top of their head. You can't even see the top of their head because it is a huge crown of light. Their faces are kind of plain and not masculine or feminine and their faces are hard to make out behind their immense aura of light. Not all angels are white but I'm pretty sure that the white ones are the highest. They have a very intimidating look that is beautiful and creepy at the same time. The angel that I saw really freaked me out and gave me chills up and down my spine but at the same time the energy from the majestic being was immense. It overwhelmed me with its energy but it was a positive experience.

[Grounded Gifts]

Yes, and spirits can appear to us in any form they choose......and they usually appear to us in a form that we will recognise and understand

it's not about the picture or the form or the shape, it's about the energy it brings. And I think you know that anyway

Do ask the Angels to lead you to the Most Benevolent Outcome for anything you undertake. Call on the Golden Light Beings to help you gently grow into the highest and happiest person you can be

[LucidDreams]

It would be close-minded to think that angels are a "one size fits all" type thing. Our experiences are very subjective. We've formed our version of the truth off of them, so then truth also must be a very subjective thing. Your angels could look and act very differently from what GG's do. Both of them are accurate depictions.

I don't believe that angels look like beautiful women with swan wings. Thats just mans fantasy. I believe that the good/evil spectrum is a circle instead of a straight line. Angels and demons are polar opposites but the two ends of the spectrum meet like a circle, therefore angels and demons touch each other on the spectrum and that is why angels look like very fierce, intimidating, warriors, who are also creepy looking yet beautiful at the same time. Does that make sense? It is true that a spirit can appear in different ways but I believe that they all have their own normal look.

I seriously doubt most people who have jobs are doing it "for society." People work to do things for themselves. If you don't need to and don't want to, don't. If you want to work to have more money for yourself, do it. But I don't get the society stuff.

Also working doesn't mean having to get up early. Not always. Find something that works for you. I started working from home this summer and it's the best thing I ever did. Nothing like "going to work" in your underwear.

I'm not going to enable you, beingofindigolight.

You are not entitled to anything. So what if society has 'rejected' you, or put you through the paces? Every human being on this planet has faced some type of adversity in their lives. It's not an excuse to ride the system when you are able-bodied...having a job is not being a slave. Slaves rarely, if ever, got compensated for thier efforts. Having a job means you have responsiblity, you get off your ass everyday, and you go and do something that is not focused on yourself to earn a living to survive. It's not fair to expect society to support you, when you are perfectly capable of going out and supporting yourself.

Suck it up. Life is about facing adversity and rising above it. It's about being successful in the face of people that want to hold you down. No one owes you anything. You owe it to yourself to be self-sufficient. There's a great sense of accomplishment that goes along with taking care of oneself and not having to depend on others to keep you fed and housed.

Life is what you make of it. You can continue to be the victim, or you can get over yourself and blaze your own path.

[beingofindigolight]

Do I really need to get in to how much the backbone of America is being rode on by the filthy rich?


This ad goes away when you register.

First of all I had a legitimate disability therefore I was not riding the system and people with disabilities can and do recover.
Many slaves actually had it pretty good. Slaves were paid in food and shelter, working class people work for money to buy food and shelter. The only difference is working class people have a lot more freedom than slaves had.

(You owe it to yourself to be self-sufficient. There's a great sense of accomplishment that goes along with taking care of oneself and not having to depend on others to keep you fed and housed.) TRUE That's why I am currently in the process of getting a job in the first place, so go find someone else to take your aggression out on. You sound like you hate your job and you know the old saying; Misery loves company.

[LunarLotus]

Hate and aggression? LOL

Re-read your opening post.

I love my job! I have an awesome job in an awesome facility. Plus...you never mentioned your 'disability'. How convienent you mentioned it now......

Look, if you hate the society that much, then figure out a way to live outside it. Get off the grid. But you seem to think that just because you are a fringe dweller and people knock you down that society owes you something...and it doesn't.

And one oversight on your part....slaves...did NOT come and go as they pleased. You...you can walk away from a job any time you want. It's all perspective. I've overcome enough of my own bullshit to get where I am, I paid my dues, and now...I pull down over 50k a year. Because I did what I had to in spite of everyone else. And I only have to work 95 days a year.

So, I'll reiterate;

You can either stop playing the victim and blaze your own path...or you will always be the down-trodden. The only thing you really have control over is yourself.

[LunarLotus]

Besides, we chose the roles we play....is beat down and ostracized really where you want to be?

So, I'll reiterate;


I don't need to reread my opening post because I'm not afraid to admit that I hate society as a whole. I would love to live off of the grid one day but wouldn't we all. A fringe dweller? Is that the term that the shallow stuck up Mensa snobs are using to define misfortunate people nowdays? I did not say that society owes me something. You put those words in my mouth in order to give yourself an excuse to bitch at me.
My diagnosis is how I got on Social Security in the first place I just assumed that everyone would be smart enough to figure that out but apparantly my assumption was incorrect. ...slaves...did NOT come and go as they pleased. Tell me about it I used to be one.
Good for you, I am glad that I was able to give you an oppurtunity to brag about how much money you make each year. I am sure that everyone is very impressed. I am not materialistic. if I made as much as you do I would put most of my money towards changing society for the better.

You can either stop playing the victim and blaze your own path...or you will always be the down-trodden. The only thing you really have control over is yourself.

I am blazing a path for myself only my path is much broader than yours because it involves making the world a better place. The path that you've blazed consists of conforming to society in a way that gives you an advantage and then thinking that your above any and everyone who doesn't kiss your ass by being the person who society has made you in to.

Look, if you hate the society that much, then figure out a way to live outside it. Get off the grid. But (you seem to think that just because you are a fringe dweller and people knock you down that society owes you something...and it doesn't.)

Are you implying that people should not be entitled to compensation for injustices that have been done to them by the government and society?

[LunarLotus]

Compensation? Money is just a means to an end. It's like playing a video game. You have to have enough points to advance to the next level. Other than that, it means nothing to me.

And since this has become a contest to you I will leave you with this:

Don’t cling to your self-righteous suffering, let it go. . . . Nothing is too good to be true, let yourself be forgiven. To the degree you insist that you must suffer, you insist on the suffering of others as well.

Having a job can most definitely mean being a slave unless you stand up for yourself.
