The Worthless Currency

Lets set ourselves free finally. For so many years we’ve become out of touch with what TRULY makes us happy. We were raised on advertisements, tv shows, movies, and celebrity. We have been tricked into believing that the acquisition of material wealth will give us access to the deeper things in life. However, can you buy love? Can you buy peace of mind? Can you buy happiness? People seem to think that staving off hardship through material gains is the path but Im here to tell you the notion that acquiring things that are superficial can never bring you closer to the things on this earth that are immaterial, that are birth rights and are priceless in nature.

I have been to third world countries and have seen people with nothing. They had no possessions or currency to give, the only thing they had was those immaterial things that are bestowed on us from birth. Love, happiness, a smile, kindness. And through the exchange of this priceless currency they have attained happiness that FAR surpasses that of people in the western world. The idea that you are enough, you don’t need more, you don’t need to be me plus something else. All you need is what has been bestowed upon you from birth and happiness and peace of mind are yours. So what is it with our society that has created such brain washing which took us away from the only truth that matters. Millenia of wisdom being drowned by a culture that is falling apart.

These days the overwhelming bombardment of information being battering rammed into our psyches is unprecedented. Its hard to realize if any thought in your mind is an original one. Thats what they want though, a mind that thinks its free but still has the same rhetoric that has been dished out to masses coercing through it minute after minute.

When looking at the foundations of such a society it makes sense. Capitalism places the greatest importance on material wealth. So whether its a job that gives you good social standing or your good looks, your value system has been tampered with by a system that in its nature places the greatest importance on superficial and material wealth.

Once we could advertise and work actively at diminishing our sense of being content with ourselves, it was game over. Like the way religion is spread to the non-coverted. The first generation doesn’t really matter so much. Its about getting it to second and the third and the fourth, then the brainwashing runs so deep that your work is done. You can see this pretty clearly by looking at the new generations. Our value system changed quite rapidly since the beginning of capitalism and industrialization. Mass advertising is literally just a side effect of your society.

We will never be happy and content with ourselves as long as we believe that me plus something else will bring us happiness. Seeking to improve yourself by superficial means will never make you happy, end of story.

Well here we are trying to find a way out a means of setting our minds free. The first thing to do is wake up to it. Do not preach to anyone about this unless they are ready because very often they will fight and resist due to the persistent indoctrination they and we have been subjected to throughout our lives. Long story short can lead to arguments that go absolutely nowhere. Second, detach yourself from the system for a while. Travel, go see another culture outside the grip of the western world. View your existence and your birth culture as an outsider. Third person perspective in my opinion is the best way to see the truth in anything. Also, you can take mind altering drugs to see your existence from another perspective. Another way of doing this is to live in solitude for a while, far away from the forces that shape your mind. Once your free and are seeing clearly you can begin shaping your life in a way that aligns with your values and you will be a free human being.

Crippling Routines

The brain expects routine, theres no way around it. Everyday those same crutches that dictate our days appear, they show they’re ugly heads and seek their drug. Our routines, through lack of discipline tend to revolve around things that gratify us instantly. The only issue with that is the things that give us instant satisfaction tend to debilitate us in the long run. Everything that either blasts us with dopamine or is used to alter our present state should be viewed as an inhibitor to our freedom as human beings. When looking at all the aspects of our lives we can view the majority of our reward seeking and escapist behavior as an addiction. In my experience, the happiest state is the balanced state where the mind in not reaching for anything.

The only garden we should tend to is the garden in front of us and the one inside of us. As humans we are subjects to our natural impulses and we are intelligent so we seek out the quickest route to those things. Whether its eating an abundance of food, or watching porn where we get a release from the primordial drive to procreate, or drinking a sugar laced beverage for energy when we should be seeking nutritious options to sustain ourselves, or watching youtube videos, it makes no difference, we are reinforcing patterns that in the long run are at our detriment. When these tendencies are reinforced in our brains, it destroys the balance within and leads to clinging and dependance.

If our goal is freedom then we must think about these things mindfully. Ultimately, everything external is out of our control. Attempting to control externalities will only lead to clinging, suffering, despair. Attempted control of the external world is illogical. However, the mind can be controlled and set free. This to me is the ultimate Yin Yang, an uncontrollable external world and a controlled internal world. Relinquishing control on the outside and controlling the inside is an insight I strive to achieve. The outside world is a mess of changing factors, we must let go of something we could never hold onto. When you let go out there, you gain control in here. Remember this and you will be an enlightened free man.

The Illusion of Security

As I lay in bed hell bent on all that I seemed to have lost. I had the girlfriend, I had college, I had the job prospects, but all of it came tumbling down in a matter of months. In that ignorance was bliss. The isolation that was to come brought horror to my mind of the life I had led for 24 years. Its funny how that sense of self, the idea in ones mind saying, I have the girlfriend, I have the education, I have the job, is all a facade. The real question that underlies is, what do you have if all of that disappeared tomorrow? I was living in an illusion. I had a positive notion about myself all brought about by external factors and now here I am lying in bed with nothing but my mind and all the thoughts that were previously suppressed. The damage to ones self that ignorance brings piles up with the passage of time. In many cases it takes an equal amount of time to sort out, make right, and come to terms with your heedlessness.

Im exhausted. Staring at this computer screen I can barely keep my eyes open. However, the mind is active. Something feels incomplete. Something in my mind is grasping for something, some accomplishment perhaps, something that maybe made my day worthwhile. But there is nothing. I look towards the future. How can one sleep when one is not where they want to be? There is work to be done is there not? How can I go out on friday night and pretend to be happy when then this work needs to be done. There are thoughts that need to be ruminated on and dreams that need to be turned into reality. How can I play the meaningless social game. I know and most know that happiness must be found from within through solitude. What the fuck does the crowd do for me? Offer me a temporary escape? I don’t want an escape. I want to live in introversion until this trouble is figured out. I want to search the web for what lies within my mind, for any sign, any direction that leads me to where I want to go. I don’t have time. I need to be alone. No one understands it. Everyone seems contented. Me however am at the point where I would sacrifice anything and if that means dwelling deeper into my psyche so I can find a back door out of my situation, I will crawl through the recesses with absolute concentration. Even if I fail, at least I tried and didn’t stay content in mediocrity.
