Great Speech by Occupy Exeter Protester
The Fourth Man | 24.11.2011 10:25 | Occupy Everywhere | Anti-militarism | Social Struggles | World
A great speech from a woman at the Occupy Exeter camp, she sums up many of the injustices and wrong doings in the world. She explains why it is so important to have a say and that the old structures that we serve, such as the banks and our love of consuming could be dying out for a new way of thinking. Please feel free to share the video. I have posted the text to the film on here also, and a link below to where you can watch the film in high quality video.

"I really think we're coming to the end of what I term an old paradigm. And it's a paradigm that's been built on deep seated materialism, and cause and effect. the idea that everything is determined - as it were - and there was very little room for the play of free will. I think that paradigm is dying, I believe it is in its death throes. It's coming to an end, and it underlines a feeling in people that's something's got to give.
Our quality of life, and the values we've held - for far too long - which are about materialism, about profit and about structures which are based on the reverence of material things, instead of the human spirit which is precisely what put those material things in position. And that we have been put into secondary place in our own society. We're now serving the structure. It seems to me to be insane. We're now serving ancient long running structures which do not serve our evolutionary growth at all.
And I think that what is happening now is that people are beginning to feel that deeply inside themselves. It's not just about being robbed by the banks - that's just the episurface of it. But it's about this idea that in my life, this isn't, I'm sure, what I'm meant to be here for. I'm not expressing my true potential.
We need to start creating the structures, which I think are structures in the mind dimension, which entail our own consciousness. These are the things that need to be built, not the cathedrals of the past, but the cathedrals of our thought. The new cathedrals of the great elsewhere."
