I'm an Anarchist on the Outside, But I'm a Monarchist on the Inside: How That's Working Out
<h2>_When I saw how dark and malicious my own government really was, I had no choice but to become an Anarchist._</h2>
<center>http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa41/beehelicopter/Screen%20shot%202017-06-23%20at%209.00.24%20PM.png</center>

I remember when I used to believe that I was part of a privileged society who had the power to pick their leaders by voting, and that it was something grand. I was told what an honor it was to have been born on this particular chunk of continental mass called the USA, in that I was now somehow endowed with this magical gift of choice in what flavor of rulership I would like to serve under.  _"If you don't have a right to vote,"_ they said, _"You don't have any control over what kinds of laws are passed, or who will rule over you."_
<center>http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa41/beehelicopter/Screen%20shot%202017-06-23%20at%209.01.29%20PM.png</center>

That voting ritual only looks good in elementary school civics books as a way to indoctrinate a new generation into believing the idea that they need rulers-- and that they get to choose who that ruler will be-- but there comes a time when those childish notions must be put aside, and some real 'civics' must be addressed before anyone else gets hurt here.
<center>http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa41/beehelicopter/Screen%20shot%202017-06-23%20at%209.04.25%20PM.png</center> 
<center><h1>CIVICS</h1></center>
Civics and politics has always been boring to me. I never cared, so if I can bother to figure out real civics, then just about anyone can. It isn't hard, but it isn't exactly what they taught in school either:

The USA is owned by foreign banks. Every capital building, every sidewalk, every police car  and streetlight is owned by banks-- these simply being foreign money creators, debt companies which then run a handful of gigantic US industries which in turn run the country using the population's accumulated debt as an engine. 
--------------

Now, everybody knows this, right? The paragraph on civics may be uncomfortably short, but the truth usually is.

<center><h2>My External Anarchy</h2></center>
With such a logical glance at civics out of the way, it leaves me as an Anarchist by default: I have no rulers, but I have greedy landlords, so I feel no patriotic tears or sentimental obligations coming on when the energy and military industries' owners ask for my support in their endless disputes with neighboring industries and corporations. 
<center>http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa41/beehelicopter/Screen%20shot%202017-06-23%20at%209.03.41%20PM.png</center>
We look at the structure that surrounds us, and we realize that our emotions are being manipulated by our belief in the authority of government, and when we logically think it over, we have no choice but to perfect the art of ruling ourselves.
<center>http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa41/beehelicopter/Screen%20shot%202017-06-23%20at%209.07.06%20PM.png</center>  
<center><h2>An Internal Monarchy</h2></center>
Instead of supporting that absurdity that is called **government** any longer, and instead of believing that some people have authority over others and all of that voting silliness, I've become my own kingdom, united only with the billions of souls on the planet who are also single rulers, they are one, and being _'mono'_ rulers, as in _ruling themselves,_ then naturally they-- we, all have the power of **true royalty,** but we've been conditioned to collectively delegate that power instead of using it-- our own Divine Right to rule we give away to our arms and legs so that we can run somebody else's squirrel cage. Our own wills are put aside for the sake of survival, our emotions spent on distractions, and our actions tend to suit some faraway void, an endless vacuum with little reward: we've been supporting _someone else's_ kingdom instead of our own.
<center>http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa41/beehelicopter/Screen%20shot%202017-06-23%20at%209.09.22%20PM.png</center> <center>http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa41/beehelicopter/Screen%20shot%202017-06-23%20at%209.08.22%20PM.png</center>
There is a way though, to become sole rulers over ourselves, and that involves uniting the two halves of the brain in harmony, so that both the feminine and the masculine features of our being can be married as we practice making our thoughts, emotions, and our actions all be in agreement. It is our power to willfully rule over our choices and our thoughts, and some self-mastery is required in any endeavor anyway-- running a tiny kingdom of ourselves could be useful in daily life, making choices that are based on our will. 
<center>http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa41/beehelicopter/Screen%20shot%202017-06-23%20at%209.09.47%20PM.png</center>
We have always been in charge of our own actions and thoughts, and it is those actions and thoughts which work together to build a world. When the things that we feel match the things that we think and do, then we will all be little monarchs, ruling our vast kingdoms with skill and care so that nobody else can try to take that power from us again. 

We already have the power of royalty, but instead of mindlessly delegating that power to a body, we will use it according to our wills, and we will forge a world as we always do, but this time it will be ours. 

When we become monarchs internally, we can say goodnight to the tired government structures which we used to enable and empower, and a good night it will be.

_thanks as always for reading along, I'm still working on uniting mind, emotion and activity here in this little kingdom of mine, making progress all of the time, and I have a nice crown around here somewhere_

This is very like the conversation @tonyr and I had. I feel that we can 'be the change we want to see' just by doing this ourselves as individuals, and not putting so much concentration on what others are doing. Talk about it just as you are, have an example to follow, but perhaps it's not as necessary for everyone to believe this as we think. Maybe it truly is about our own journey. 

I stopped fearing them, believing in them, awhile back, and it truly feels as though there is some kind of force field around me, the people close to me. It's quite possibly an inner power that repels them or they instinctively know to leave alone.

I'm not sure I can articulate it better than that right now, but it will probably be showing up in the playground. ;)

It might be a geometry-- a round peg-- that our mind forms around us which is not compatible with that square hole of fear that is always near. That sentence isn't right either, but it almost says what I mean, somehow, as far as force-fields around us and all.

I almost get it...seriously. Like something teasing the back of my mind. I've had this strange thing lately, my ears are ringing a lot. I thought my body was off, but I just learned a bunch of people have been experiencing that, you?

I find it amazing that more people have not clued into this idea yet. Anyone that has money or is perceived to have some sort of power is idolized by the zombies of this world.

But I secretly want to be a monarchist internally. <3
I like your style of writing. Not too long, not to short, concise, precise.
