assimilate and die

(from monday, may 20, 2013, originally posted at facebook)

 

historically, the goal of authority has always been to substitute your subjective decision-making ability with objective law. if people don't believe in their own inner wisdom, it might as well not even exist. this is how you rule the world, through fear.
some even go so far as to deny there is any subject. we are all one (hive mind, borg)

 

...

people who are never allowed to make any decisions for themselves never learn how to make good decisions, keeps them dependent upon authority to tell them what to do.

 

they fear freedom because it isn't predictable. freedom would open up a world of infinite possibility, and those who seek the power to control (as well as those who have been beaten into submission by those control freaks) are too afraid to see what a wonderful thing that would be!

 

their fears will manifest their own worst nightmares as reality. that's gotta suck for them, real bad. you think they'd figure it out, but the fear prevents any rational thought from happening.

 

...

they start off by creating shame, by saying all people are basically evil and need to be controlled, or else horrible things will happen... (fear of freedom)

 

but every mother knows that babies aren't born evil. evil things have to happen to them to make them be that way. so women are targeted, as being the most evil, and need to be controlled most of all.

be here now? forgive and forget? i don't think so

the past follows you where ever you go.

you can't see where you are going
if you don't know where you have already been. 

denial never made any of the bad stuff go away. 
it's when you stop denying it 
that you can make it stop.

thinking only positive thoughts 
and not looking to the past
is a trick to keep you in your place.

demand a better future
it's your right

follow the leader

you aren't using it.
might as well
sell your soul
to the devil.

but don't tell me
what to do
with mine.

ignorance is no excuse, and denial don't make it right

ignore-ants fucking up my world, living in fear, thinking only good thoughts, never choosing for themselves, always following the leader, denying truth in favor of pretty-sounding bullshit...

the hive mind is shattered
into a million pieces
just like the minds
of those who still defend it
not seeing the prison for what it is
and allowing it to self destruct

threats and intimidation
are the only weapons bullies have.
those threats only work
to control and manipulate us
if we become afraid.

mindsplit

religion built a wall
inside your head
of bricks made
from doubt and fear.

and the miracles
and the angels
all the other magic too
hid behind it.

and you can pretend
those things aren't real
so you can go to work
not knowing.

be afraid.
do not question.
know your place.
play the role chosen for you.
obedient slave!

culture is what grows in a petri-dish

culture is what grows in a petri-dish

it's a terrible infectious disease.
it makes people think they are somehow
better than other folks.

combined with groupthink,
it creates the belief that what is different
is wrong or bad
or maybe even evil.

once you group up, you are at risk of infection.
nobody is immune.

and the war-god didn't want people to get along, so he scrambled their speech that they couldn't talk to each other, and the different groups fought each other and created war "for god and country" and the war-god was pleased, and rewarded those who were most destructive.

or so the story goes...

hanging a dream catcher on your wall doesn't make you native american. wearing feathers in your hair or t-shirts with wolves on them doesn't make you native american, either. long hair, brown skin, ceremonies, none of those things makes anyone native american either. it's either in your blood, or it isn't. and there's nothing you can do about that. be yourself.

likewise, cutting your hair and wearing a suit and tie and going to work for the man doesn't make anyone white.

just stop already with the us versus them crap. we are all in this together, every last one of us. which group you gonna try to put me in? give that a good long think. the line that divides doesn't even exist. it's all bullshit.

what social contract?

does your membership in the group
define who you really are?
or is it a substitute
for making your own decisions
regarding what you should do
and who you should be?
who gets to decide?
do you really want
someone else deciding for you?

since facebook probably is not the right venue for such ramblings... here's my current status update, with comments, all of them my own, because that's just what i do when i don't have anyone else to talk to, i'll just talk to myself. i don't mind, really.

seems to me that domesticated people find comfort in the herd, they are the ones seeking Oneness, the tamed ones who have been taught to believe that what sets them apart, what makes them different from everyone else, their individuality, is something bad, undesirable, something to be eradicated at all costs.

it is this way of thinking that has been harming humanity and the entire planet on which we depend, for thousands of years now. i think it's time we stop this foolish nonsense. now.

i think it's time we stop believing in leaders, and start believing in ourselves. can you dig it? no, you probably can't. you are probably terrified of the very idea that YOU are worthy of being believed in. it is your fear that prevents you from living up to your full potential as a human being. it is your fear that keeps you in line, obediently following someone else's lead.

the idea of a "greater good" is a trick. an old old trick from way way back long time. it is this notion that the group can accomplish what individuals cannot that prevents us from accomplishing anything at all. the false divisions that create the groups is what also creates war. your group. doesn't matter which one. they all are part of the same war. that war is against all of humanity, the entire planet and every living thing on it.

and i find it most highly unusual that it is the same ones so strongly believing in the good of their group, and in the evilness of the opposition, that also talk the loudest about Oneness. what a mindsplit!! you know those contradictions are what prevents thinking from happening. you know that. i know you do.

i had a college professor kept an empty jar on his desk. on the label, it said "unsolved paradoxes" :-)

when you quote your dead hero (pick one, there's lots of dead heroes from which to choose), it's hearsay. you are quoting what somebody else said he said, and since he's dead, he can't defend himself against the stupid things people say and do in his name.

what's even worse, is that english speaking people quote their dead heroes who didn't even speak english. so it's not just what somebody else said he said, it's a vague translation of what somebody else said he might have said, as if his native language can be stuffed into the tiny box of expression the english language affords.

the question was

What do you want from our leaders?

i want absolutely NOTHING from them!
i don't need them to tell me what to do.
i want to make my own decisions about my own life.
i would like for all authorities to recognize that
they can't make decisions for anyone but themselves.
i would like for everyone, not just the so-called leaders,
everyone to heal from past abuses and
childhood indoctrination into obedience and control.
and then we can all be free.

once there is no longer any government to support it,
war will cease to exist.
So this is my final answer to the question:
I WANT WORLD PEACE!!
i will accept nothing less than that, if they expect my support.
i have yet to find a leader worth following.
maybe they are out there somewhere.
hiding.

i do not believe in politicians. i do not believe people should vote to give their decision-making rights away to government. i do not believe anyone needs to be governed and ruled and controlled. i do not believe in majority rule. i believe everyone should be free.

fixing the old system which is broken is not a viable option. how can we depend on government to fix the problems it has created? we cannot. history shows us that. history shows that replacing the old rulers with new ones does not free anyone. we do not need to figure out a way of making the old system work, it won't work, it never has, and it never will. what needs to happen is we need to stop trying to control everything, and allow a natural system to emerge.

***

Building a new order is not the way. Allowing a natural order to emerge is the only answer that is not inherently flawed. It is mankind's sick desire to control everything that has gotten us into this mess. No human person is higher authority than any other person's innermost guide. We do not need to be governed, controlled, manipulated, and abused by authority figures who think they should make decisions for us. We can choose to be autonomous and free instead. It's a choice each person must make for themselves, though, else it just doesn't count.

Freedom is within our grasp. Please let us not screw it up by playing into that same control game that got us where we are today. Replacing the old rulers with new ones will not free anyone. History has shown us that, over and over and over again. It's time we learned from past mistakes and do things differently. For the children.

politicians are not leaders, they are rulers.
rulers are people who want to lead.
leaders are people others want to follow.
big difference.
