An introduction to a series of stories about my spiritual journey, thoughts and philosophies. A summary and insight into my personal longing for freedom.

But You Need to Become Dumb! Don’t You Understand???

As if my brain and intellect count for nothing. I mean did Socrates, Jesus or Leonardo da Vinci go to college? NO! But today the only thing that does count is; my ability to sit in a classroom day in and day out, pass tests (which I will remember nothing of once taken,) and write papers (which I probably had someone write for me or stole half of the material then “cleverly” changed it around to make it my own.) Why? Because if I poses these abilities, then I will be exactly what this culture wanted to produce; a person who can go to the same mundane job day in and day out, and follow mindless orders, and write mindless reports that are a waste of trees and ink etc… I will have shown my ability to be disciplined and not question authority enough to continue on living this mediocre life style. Where people make money with their right hand and hand it over with their left. No matter how much the majority of people make, they end up spending it and borrowing more on top of it to buy more junk and crap which they do not need.

Dance Monkey, Dance!

Mother culture, how I love the pretty pictures you paint for our society in order to keep the cash flow coming in. Those constant soft lies you whisper in our ears that serve to keep the smart dumb. How you love to “educate” the masses with your bias and edited version of life and the world, so that we can remain slaves to the money-making-monkey-machine. Remain slaves to this system of exploitation forever, so that we can never revolt or speak out and TRULY make a change. Yes mother culture, please tell us and fill our simple, tired, poisoned, over stimulated, drugged-up minds with your pretty little lies. I hear you mother culture, I hear it everywhere: “Dance monkey, dance! Cause we have the food under lock and key! The food you used to get for free! Now dance for your food monkey, dance hard and long and forever. Dance for debt, sadness, emptiness and hopelessness. And the only way to numb your pain monkey, is to dance some more! So that you can afford our magical happy potions, happy pills and entertainment picture box which tells you how to be happy! Now dance and smile like the zombie we want you to be and take it as it is, because you can never change anything!” Mmmmm…. to be continued

    Good on you!
    I am all about your \’de-civilization\’ and strongly believe that we all have in us everything necessary to be completely self reliant and self sustainable.
    It is our habituated fears that have immobilized us to buy into this rendition of civilization.
    I think if we can dispel the myth we have a chance.

    It is a great idea, but it will never work, for a few people yes, I would like to be one of them, and I get the urge more and more every day to do just that, drop everything and just walk the world. The problem is that there is not enough places left to hunt and gather. The world MUST have modern agriculture to survive. Even now we have millions of people starving – yes we have the food – but if we didn’t have modern farms billions would starve. Even worse than this, CITY people do not know how to find food in the wild. Most couldn’t get a tomato plant to grow in their yard. They walk past mulberry tries, wild grapes, and ground cherries and tell their children they are poison – homeless and starving people sit beside food they could be eating – drinking pine tea – and they FEAR nature.

    It is far to late to go back, it would be nice, but there is only ONE way we could go back as a planet. 6 billion people would have to go. Problem is, no one wants to be one of those 6 billion.

    I have always said this, you really need to re-iterate these ideologies in a more effective atmosphere and in a direct face-to-face approach such as being a teacher, lecturer, or a writer. You are my teacher in life and I am so thankful that you broadened my point of view on this world. Now I feel completely de-tached and freed from the immediate “common sense” way of thinking that this society embeds into our minds. I have been viewing the world from every point of view at once, and it is so rewarding to independently solve certain problems or answer a question by directly observing and contemplating it from a non-self perspective. I grow tired of people’s interest in only things that are relevant to them, and do not take into account things that are non-self. The union of self and non-self encourages attempts to force the universe into conformity with what we find in ourselves. Love you and miss you. Your lil bro Omar

    As I read your blog, I was astounded at the parallels between yours, and my experience. This is my 5th year of college and I have officially dropped out to the dismay of both parents, who seem to think I’m an idiot for doing what I’m doing. The difference between you and myself, is that I have paid for my own education, so rather than just leave school, I am loaded with 20k in debt, which I feel is the only reason why college is pushed one the vast majority, because it leads to a life of indentured servitude via the massive credit scam, which we see is a scam now that the financial system is starting to topple over.

    My goal is to learn how to live in the wilderness..Or be self sustainable, but I don’t want to in any way shape or form submit to this illusion of reality that people seem to buy into. Things, all these stupid things, the American dream, a house, a white picket fence etc.. Well, you can’t have an American dream if there is no America..

    I trust that God will provide for me, in general, he has provided for me throughout my life, what makes me think he would for some odd reason just stop? He will make a way for me, were he sees fit. As for my current situation, I am just getting started on becoming a self sufficient. I grow my own food, I want to raise my own livestock etc.. And it is all stuff I’m learning on my own, not in the classroom. Real tangible skills, that are going to come in really handy when the economic system collapses. Good day to you miss and good luck in all your endeavors!
