I Am Unemployed
I am unemployed. Last week I was employed. After taking a voluntary resignation package I am now unemployed. I can last for a few months after which things will start to get pretty sticky so I am trying to focus on the new world I want to move into which I believe is a personal destiny for me.
I notice that despite feeling free there is a feeling of dread at no money coming in regularly.
I feel that our society has made us such slaves to money and work that even when you try and think freely your mind is still dominated by wage-slave attitudes. It is not a surprise, these are so ingrained in us all: got to have a job, got to have a career, how will you survive without a job? What insane mindset to hold.
I am already volunteering as part of my move into a new career and as I know the reality of life without money in our 'free' capitalist society, I need to get the next phase started.
I am trying to remain positive, but I do have a big fear inside me that I have done the wrong thing. It is a risk and after, consulting with spiritual guidance it all points to the 'go for it' and 'this is meant to be'.
I am also working on my book which is already written and now undergoing a major edit. My wife works, but has low income, but I hope that between us we can make this all work out.
The alternative would have remained stuck in a job I hated, in a place that was becoming more and more authoritarian and unnacountable to the staff, where managers bullied staff whilst hiding behind terms such as 'professionalism'.
Working, when you are forced to, is sickening. We are wage-slaves (check out the wiki definition) and that is scary.
