The ones we often forget and ignore
In my forty years of existence, I’ve come to know three fundamental truths. These truths may not hold true for you for reasons that will be made apparent as you read along.
1. Heaven is here, and we are all Gods:
The most profound and simple truth and yet we find it very hard to accept. If you really want to see the face of God, look in the mirror. Even Jesus said: I and the father are one (John 10:30).
Like many proponents before me, I truly feel “I” here means “us”.
Many prophets and muses had realised early on that within the limited body we inhabit, lies an unlimited and cosmic mind; within that cosmic mind that stretches well over past, future and present, lies an essence that no language or knowledge can explain. This thing that many preachers have chosen to call it the God essence is within us all.
Now, why is it so hard for us to accept this?
Perhaps, our bodies aren’t solid or liquid enough, gaseous or plasmic enough; to comprehend this astounding, and in certain circles, even a blaspheming concept. It is fear that stops us. And it will always be fear that would lead us astray.
Therefore, even though our minds can travel through time and space, make assumptions that are horrendously asinine as well as stupendously sublime, we stare at our corpus, this body wrinkled by time and biology, that makes us doubt our importance. We become prone to ideas implanted by those who can wax poetic like sleigh on smoothened snow, but these palavering posers are as lost, if not more, than we all are.
2. We Crave Slavery:
We profess to want freedom, but we crave slavery. We love being shackled to various belief systems: our family values, our education system, our country and its intrinsically self-serving and self-enriching political system and our idiosyncratic mind.
Knowing this, you must be tempted to go against these systems. Perhaps be an anarchist or a revolutionist. But this too is a form of shackle. It is the two faces of the same coin. For or against any type of system is still a belief system and therefore equally pernicious, divisive, inflammatory and chaotic.
3. We are senseless when we are lost:
When we are not Godly, we are blind and therefore, prone to be led by the blind. We follow but never observe. Fearmongers and hope sellers are everywhere.
I have seen Ugandan and Nigerian Christian fanatics foaming at the mouth. These blinged-out blind bats parlay 15th-century ethos from the 21st-century pulpit over issues they’ve never experienced themselves (LGBT, Women & minority rights). They are mere clowns, and their real pursuit is gold, power and fornications.
We also become senseless when we follow these so-called ‘intellectuals’ and ‘humanists’. These exceptionally powerful individuals: Gandhi, King, Mao, and so on.
Do you know why they are powerful? Not because they led an exceptionally good life. No, power always operates in the shadows.
They are powerful because most of their lives lie deep in their graves; a grave dug so deep that words (only words!) are sufficient to explain who they are. And how deceptive words can be! Even the ideas these people posit are useless at best.
Take Gandhi. He said nonviolence and Marxist dogma could save India. 75 years later we are poor, inequitable, hungry and decades behind in every social and economic category.
Did Martin Luther King’s idea of racial harmony bring about racial harmony in that country? No. In fact, it led to more chaos. But other factors did save that country.
Compared to the rest of the socialist and communist realms, one can argue actions via capitalism made the USA the least racist and sexist country in the world. It wasn’t the idea but the actions of capitalism that mattered.
I can give you many more examples, but you don’t need that.
So, why should we listen to these people and their dead ideas?
Why should we listen to that crank Marx whose life was anything but chaos?
We all know that a chaotic mind is a chaotic individual that births a chaotic POV and thus only benefits in making a household and society equally chaotic; they in turn, worships these chaotic heroes. These preachers and pendulous poltroons should be barred from your thoughts and mind.
Forget Buddha, and Allah and Rama and Jesus and Yahweh. These bronze age deities saved no one let alone educate us. Might as well worship your own shadows. In fact, in the wake of their deaths, we are left deciphering their every anodyne sneeze and cough as though the word ‘orange’ was more nutritious than eating the real fruit, and what mess they all left behind!
Forget Xi, Biden, Trump, Macron or all these lumbering gods that thrive on cheap emotions running down your stems and sinews like cancer. In fact, forget Musk and Modi and Jobs and Jobless. Who cares if they are mad or madless? Who cares if they can live forever, since like you, they’ll only keep on ignoring what’s important in their own lives forever?
Do you want to live a good life?
Live it, don’t complain. Through ACTIONS. There is no formulae to be found in schools, religions, gurus or even your parents. Nor is it in your opposition to them. Remember, you are a God. And especially don’t consult books and armchair philosophers.
Try not to judge but observe.
Are you hungry? Eat.
Are you tired? Rest.
Are you unhappy? find out why.
Not by reading books by some depressive Danish loser but by reorganising your life and doing the useful hard work to change.
Stray clear from your equally idiosyncratic and febrile mind.
It is only through subtraction and negation that a space will be created large enough for your mind to put your life, your POV, your needs and your desires in order; all that is to be gained from living and experiencing rather than thinking and ideating; and draining dead people and ideas completely.
