Transformation of the Wage Slave Mind

Many of us cannot face or imagine that we are wage slaves. Slavery has such a vile, despicable, pernicious stigma attached to it. Unfortunately, wage slavery is not any different than facing drug and alcohol addictions, unemployment, foreclosure, bankruptcy, divorce, illness or death of a loved one.

Similarly, some of us believe  enlightenment is found in the tithes or donations we give to charitable organizations. We perceive life from  a toxic  veil of ignorance that distorts our vision of enlightenment. And in this blurred state of awareness, we believe enlightenment and wage slavery are spiritually congruent.

In our vain attempts to define money and enlightenment spiritually congruent, we have created prosperity theology (spirituality) to address our problems.  Prosperity theology (spirituality) allows us to live as wage slaves and believe we are also expressing our enlightenment.

Nevertheless, there are too many of us who are willing to be wage slaves. This concept of our awareness of being is expressing itself in our willingness to do anything for money. And like any slave who seeks freedom from deplorable conditions, we believe enough money will solve most, if not all, of our problems.

Many of us believe wage slaves only apply to poor people. We believe that the well-to-do are immune from its power. So when we discuss wage slaves, it's always with someone other than ourselves in mind.

When we live as wage slaves, our  addictions to avarice and personal aggrandizement represent our core toxic beliefs and values. And at this level of awareness, we are willing to be humiliated, embarrassed, and devalued by others, if it means we can keep our jobs or careers. All we really want is to get paid for it.

Unfortunately, for us to function as wage slaves, we must devalue ourselves. This means we are powerless to our own slavery. It also means that we have restricted our Powers of Mind from presenting us with other options in  liberating our minds from the illusions of wage slavery.

Meanwhile, as wage slaves, our search for enlightenment has been reduced to societal symbolism and vague utterances of religious tenets. We believe we have found enlightenment in the blessings we receive from the money earned as wage slaves.

Most of us are in denial about being wage slaves. Perhaps we feel this way because we're afraid to do something about it. When we accept responsibility for creating the current conditions in our lives, then we also know that we must awaken our minds to overcome the conditions.

 When we embrace and use our Powers of Mind, we have the power to change the conditions in our lives. We also become aware of the other options available to us that will free us from wage slavery.
