Idiocy

[Breakingthewall]

In our society, we are educated from birth to be consumers; we are receivers of objects, content, and experiences that we like and find entertaining, and we perceive our value within the human group by whether we are liked and validated. From adolescence onward, being liked and validated becomes key. We crave an ideal of beauty, wealth, and social skills that places us at the top of the pyramid, allowing us to enter the "fit" zone, and we see others as allies or adversaries depending on their level of fitness. Sex is presented to us from childhood as consumption. By age 12, we watch an amount of porn that would leave the Marquis de Sade perplexed, and if you are more or less "fit," random sporadic sex is within anyone's reach. It is absolutely natural to perceive sex and life in general as an act of consumption, not of expansion. I am not talking about selfishness, expansion is also selfish, i am talking about the vector. The vector created within us by our society points inward. The consumer is a pit that must be filled.

This poses a serious problem: it closes us off. We have become isolated, self-reflective bubbles that need validation from their peers and seek pleasurable, satisfying experiences. These bubbles are always in a state of lack. They cannot be filled; they can only reach a level where the anxiety of insufficiency isn't overly noticeable. The problem with this is that it makes us idiots. We only see the reflection of our character, like a wall right in front of our face, flat and made of anxiety. This persona must be improved so that we can receive more of the good things we want. We all know where this leads: to a medicated society. Children born to fill a void, who will be raised by neurotics riddled with anxiety.

This is an interesting labyrinth. At a given moment, you are a teenager caught up in this mess that is impossible to understand, surrounded by alienation, and you create a character .Real values like loyalty, honor, courage, surrender, and integrity sound great in movies, thousands of which we consume, providing us with engineered emotions that substitute for the honor, courage, surrender, and integrity that are scarce or nonexistent in our consumer reality.

This makes us absolutely idiotic; we are so idiotic it is brutal. We are trapped in a bubble of idiocy. Escaping it is a challenge of enormous difficulty. It requires changing our vector of existence, the direction in which we point. Changing from a pit to a source, from a consumer to an expanding being.

The point we are at is the consequence of humanity's massive conquest of reality. Seriously imagine for a moment, right now, being teleported to London in 1750. Seriously. We don't want that. But the enormous change that has occurred has made us neurotic, alienated, and closed off. This is endured more or less well thanks to the massive consumer possibilities we have, and the projection toward a future where we will be complete. But beware. Be very careful. Any day now you could realize that your life is an absolute misery, that you are absolutely alone in the wheel, running like a medicated rat.

Making the movement toward openness is essential; it is the only sensible option. In doing so, you flip the bubble inside out, and suddenly, reality opens up. Your heart opens, your mind opens, and the vector has changed.

No longer do you have the image of a progressing, remembering persona in front of you, but the immensity of reality. In front of your face is unlimited all the time; here and now you are, within the unfathomable unlimited that lives. In fact, you are that. It is not a divine, mystical realization; it is reality right now. The mental bubble ceases, as it is absolutely obvious that it is a kind of learned loop that makes no sense.

Meaning is in your heart; the fact of being is everything, and you lack nothing. What you want is not to consume, but to expand, to flow, to connect. Everything is clear, clean, and alive. You have flipped the bubble inside out. Congratulations, you have solved the labyrinth of idiocy. Now, another phase of the game begins.

When we reflect on our life we realize the idiocy. But unfortunately survival necessities us lowering the playing field to the level of the players. Most would not see the wisdom in your words. But inside we should know who we are.  And our level of Consciousness is our own. It is our own because in truth we are alone.  We are the only mind that exists.

Nobody can know nothing but that he is, but this is everything. One, two, gods, creations, that's meaningless.

You are, that's everything. That's not a thought, it's the very fact of being now. It's unfathomable, alive and full. Knowing that only you are is structure. Being is a fact.

Precisely. Wow. It's so beautiful.  That we are being, now. Together. Unified.  My mind is one with yours. Let's run the hamster wheel together.  I prefer to think of myself as a medicated hamster not a rat..though I've nothing against them. I had an ex-girlfriend who had a pet rat who used to like crawling up and down my arm. I was the only one medicated though.

Being a rat (or a hamster) on the wheel is crazy. It's a state of stress and anxiety 24/7. But when you're in it, it seems normal. I don't mean about work, but the mental state of lack, disconnection, projections, constantly creating mental castles in the air, always dissatisfied, out of place, in the necessary imbalance that keeps the wheel turning, but balanced enough to make life bearable. A bit more of imbalance, and everything could fall .

@Zigzag Idiot i remember you like a evocation of another era😂

Absolutely.  We walk the tightrope.  However God has us.  So take heart in that.  Whatever our path will be we will always walk it with God.  And these days I am just grateful that I can get up in the morning and make my coffee. The little things. And I can gaze out the window at the animals and nature

@Inliytened1 @Breakingthewall  To experience gratefulness is a reward unto itself. Expressing gratitude is a way to spread Love.

In fact, you are that.

That which claims to be this identity is still the conditioned consumer or self illusion.

It's just spiritual ego hanging on by a thread, but cutting this particular thread feels like certain death. 

But it doesn't matter because it's already not there.

It's a trip 🤯

Yes there is no one home  We get it.  The constant repeating of it is hard to swallow.  You're retired military so you should know when a topic gets old.

Meanwhile, nothing ever moved. Nothing ever changed.

Always unchanging is the door-less door to nowhere. 
 

Don’t forget to pack your 🩴  🩴 for your imaginary trip to no man’s land.

You get the non-duality medal of honor. It is most prestigious    Please understand that these awards are not given out easily.  Each subject is heavily screened so in closing you must be the perfect example of non-dual teaching and living to receive.

Speak for yourself only. Not every ear hears old.  That’s why the message is on repeat, for ears a new.
