The Seven Pillars of Life, Part Three
The Attack On Our Life and How We Go On The Offensive
Welcome to the three-part analysis of The Seven Pillars of Life. This is Part III of III. You can find the Introduction here, Part I here, and Part II here.
If we don’t focus our attention and thoughts on what we want, which is freedom, we will never manifest it because our attention is being distracted and put in the wrong place, i.e., politics as a distraction.
To summarize the series thus far, I want to recap the key points.
Firstly, the central theme of Unorthodoxy is exploring how thoughts manifest into reality. We delve deep into the relationship between thoughts, which are spiritual, and things, which are material. We spend a lot of time studying and understanding spiritual concepts such as attention, intention, and other related phenomena.
Second, as we kicked off this series, we discussed the seven pillars of life that require our attention for a fulfilling existence. These pillars are health, occupation, residence, cohabitation, intimate relationships, family, and spirituality.
We also presented a bonus video illustrating how to navigate this physical life as a spiritual journey. Using the metaphor of Aladdin, we demonstrated how focusing on the straight and narrow path, seven pillars, can help us avoid falling for the distractions symbolized by the temple and its jewels.
Next, we explored phenomena known as distractions. These instances have existed throughout human history, diverting our attention away from the Seven Pillars of Life. Sports, known as the proverbial “bread and circus,” are well-known distractions, but we focused on politics in our last article as we are in an election year. Politics is an extremely potent distraction due to its ability to give one the illusion of participation and action.
In today’s article, we are going to dive into the finale of our series on the seven pillars of life. We will discuss what an attack on our seven pillars looks like and how we can defend ourselves and go on the offensive when we’re under attack.
The Attack On Health
The seven pillars of life—health, occupation, residence, cohabitation, intimate relationships, family, and spirituality—are the foundations of a life worth living. Maintaining good health and a fulfilling occupation are the core foundations of life’s pillars. In part two, we determined that anything that diverts our attention away from maintaining good health and a fulfilling occupation could be seen as a distraction.
But what happens when these foundations are not just subtly eroded but blatantly attacked? What does an attack on these foundations look like?
To understand this, we need to examine the world of ideas. As I’ve discussed in my article on principles, we can evaluate whether something is a good idea or not based on its underlying principles. This world is ruled by principalities, and we must be mindful of these principalities and the ideas they put forth. If there is a bad idea, even if it might have some good benefits, we should be mindful of it if the overall idea is detrimental.
For instance,
recently posted an article about the state of Utah and its refusal to disclose what ingredients have altered its agriculture1. This policy is a bad idea, and everyone living in Utah should know the individuals promoting it. It is an attack on health.Similarly, allowing chemical manufacturers such as Monsanto to control the country’s food system is a bad idea2. This scenario would attack our health because chemicals would be introduced into our foods, which can harm our health.
These bad ideas often manifest as harmful policies. Even though we may be drawn to politics, we must recognize that some political ideas can be detrimental. For example, the notion that some people have to survive at the expense of others is a bad idea, and we need to stop supporting such ideas.
These bad ideas lead to attacks on our health. We’ve discussed food, but let’s also examine our current health system. If you know the origins of our health system, you’ll realize that once profit is prioritized over true patient healing, you have a system that might not be the best for the citizens. Individuals with harmful ideas can easily manipulate this system.
Please see my article on why it does matter, where we focus on Anthony Fauci.
So, seeing how our health can be attacked, what about our occupation?
Our Livelihoods Threatened
In our exploration of the seven pillars of life, we’ve established that occupation is the ability to create a life for oneself. When we talk about the act of creation, we’re talking about the energy of sex, which is the energy of creation. We create value for the world and, in return, receive value in the form of currency. So, what does an attack on occupation look like?
An attack on occupation occurs when nefarious sources cut into the value, or currency, that you are getting back. In my article on Esoteric Philosophy, Part 2, I discussed how the idea of America that we know and love no longer exists because a financial attack on the country’s occupation pillar succeeded in 1913 when the Federal Reserve was established. Ever since then, the population of this country has been under financial attack because the value they put out there gets cut into every year by the powers that be. We must realize that this is an economic attack on the citizens of this great country.
If we don’t focus our attention and thoughts on what we want, which is freedom, we will never manifest it because our attention is being distracted and put in the wrong place, i.e., politics as a distraction. As I wrote in my article, “The Federal Reserve is going to bring pain,” we must see that inflation is a financial attack on its citizens. It does not have to occur. Yet, due to the effectiveness of propaganda and distractions, we’re told these things had to happen.
We’ve seen time and time again how bad ideas enacted through political action hurt citizens more, e.g., bailouts for the banks in ’08 and the COVID-19 pandemic bailouts for countries such as Ukraine. These are bad ideas. Sure, the propaganda narrative states that these can be considered bad decisions, but in reality, they are bad ideas intended to be financial attacks on the population.
Once you see the attack on not only the health of the population but also the value that the population can bring, you realize that these foundations, once attacked, affect every other foundation in the seven pillars. You can’t live where you want to live because you don’t have the currency to afford anything else. You might have a poor living situation where everyone in the house works odd hours or multiple jobs, and no one is there to enjoy living together. There is no time for intimate relationships because everyone is working.
What does this do to a family or a community unit?
There is none.
The Greatest Force Against Humanity
The advent of television, as we read about in Neil Postman’s “Amusing Ourselves to Death,” marked the beginning of a significant shift. It emerged as the number one distraction tool, leading to a 40% decrease in civil participation once TVs entered the house. People were distracted from their seven pillars of life, such as family and community.
So, what does an attack on life look like? Look around. It could be an attack if something is taking our attention away from what we need to focus on. One of the greatest forces used in this attack is very subtle. We’ve talked about distraction in part two, but now it’s time we talk about the most incredible force against humanity—not money, not power, not sex, but comfort and laziness.
As a species, we’ve forgotten that this body was made to work, to toil. Suffering is how humanity grows. One of the best stories I’ve heard in my life is a story of trees told to us by the
. To summarize, trees need wind to grow; they need resistance to work against. Without this “suffering,” trees never become big and strong, hence the saying, “Tough times make strong men.”Unfortunately, not knowing that laziness is the strongest resistance, the strongest force against humanity, we have succumbed to the world of laziness and comfort. We see the destruction of these attacks right in our faces, but — as I discussed in my analysis in The Brave New World of 1984, Part 2 — we are too docile as a population to do anything about it.
As I show in that article, we cherish comfort not because we intrinsically want it but because our society has been engineered to prioritize pleasure and comfort. This hedonistic phenomenon has been ingrained in our culture for many years, and as a result, we have come to cherish it. We no longer chase work; we run away from work. When that is the case, it is easy for us to subtly be lulled to sleep, to where we are attacked, and we know it, yet we do nothing about it.
This world is the Brave New World of 1984, the Kali Yuga, the Revelation. And what are we going to do about it?
The Path to Freedom
Fortunately, this is the Great World.
This period of time we find ourselves in has been known as the great age, and once we begin to pay attention to the world, we can begin to change our world. The motto here for Unorthodoxy can be boiled down to a single theme: thoughts become things. As we begin to pay attention to our thoughts, actions, ideas, principles, and attention, we can begin to change our world.
And what does this look like? This idea looks like the physical manifestation of a revolution: a financially independent revolution.
I often emphasize that for individuals to be free, there must be a physical manifestation of freedom. What this looks like is when one is independent of the “system” — and can essentially create value using their own individual autonomy to uphold the other pillars of their life. However, this doesn’t happen overnight because the system, as the great John Taylor Gatto, New York Teacher of the Year, has pointed out, is a labyrinth that has been built for the past 200 years, and we just happen to find ourselves within it.
However, starting right now, we can begin to fight back against the attack on our spiritual existence within life’s material manifestation. As I state in my book, there are powers and forces — such as faith, synchronicity, and the Unfair Advantage — that we can leverage.
To begin closing this series, there is an attack on humanity and within society. I’ll post an article and a video later to delve deeper into this understanding, but you have two options here: You can either think this is just one great coincidence, or you can see something at play.
This system we find ourselves in is a spiritual attack on our thoughts that’s manifesting itself into physical slavery on the species. However, it’s as easy as being aware of the situation to be saved. And when we do this, salvation begins to manifest itself in ourselves. First, our physical health begins to get better because we no longer depend on and eat off their food. Second, we no longer rely on the system to define our value and the currency we bring forward.
In this new future, we can provide value and find value in our purpose, put that value in the world, and have that value resonate with others. We get the value returned to us so that we can take that value and build the rest of the pillars of life, such as our residence, all the way to where we can focus on spirituality.
This journey is the path that I’m walking. This is the plan that I have. I hope you all will join me so that years from now if you’re not there already, we can all sit back and look to see how we started the Revolution That Was Not Televised.
Thank you for the time and the intention to read this series, and I hope you all have a wonderful day, time, and journey.
Ashe.

This was a great series, Franklin, and I will go back and read it again. I began writing a comment to your first article, but stopped because it got too long, but you mentioned the gist of it in this article. Our currency touches every aspect of the 7 Pillars. Most of us trade hours of our life (our life force) for currency, which is manipulated and controlled for the specific purpose of enslaving us by the bankers. If you read their open admissions in their 19th century literature, it is astounding how evil they are. The love of money, not money, or even the pursuit of things that money will buy, is the root of all evil.
If the currency is inflated and manipulated, we cannot buy healthy food. We cannot afford adequate housing. Both parents must work, which destroys family cohesiveness. Financial despair spurs escapism through drugs and alcohol, which destroys the spirit. It removes hope from the next generation, they believe they will work their entire lives just to get by, and cannot afford to procreate, which is the greatest joy in life. Children give life meaning and purpose.
Now in my 50’s with two adult children who are working, I find myself pondering how they are spending the precious, finite hours of their life. A thirty-minute drive to and from work, nine hours at the job, five days a week, for decades, for what purpose? To earn currency to live. Anyone who is old enough to look back on a career and raising children sees that they wasted a lot of time on frivolous, inconsequential things, and didn’t spend enough time on the things that truly mattered. As the adage goes: Nobody has “I wish I had spent more time at the office” written on their headstone.
But self-awareness allows us to change going forward. Thank you for the reminder of what is important. Hopefully those of us who are waking up, and I do see an awakening, can change this world for the better for our children’s sake.
Yes! Thank you for this series. It is giving me hope.
