Every war results from the struggle for markets and spheres of influence, and every war is sold to the public by professional liars and totally sincere religious maniacs, as a Holy Crusade to save God and Goodness from Satan and Evil.
Robert Anton Wilson
Too many people fail to realize when they are being manipulated. This is especially true within the groups that claim to be standing against manipulation. Too many people, filled with righteous indignation, rage at their live streams of ‘noble’ citizen journalists, watching ‘freedom fighters’ raising their fists in protest against the nameless faceless machine. What they don’t realize is that they are being manipulated as well, by the very groups they cling to. The simple fact is you cannot change the world from within a group dynamic. Group dynamics are actually what is most wrong with this existence we call life, this smoke filled mirror that reflects off kilter what we choose to call reality. We are not billions of humans sharing a universal experience. We are a universe sharing a billion human experiences. We are all in this together because we are all a single entity, made of the same stuff as the stars, the oceans, and everything in between. We are all part and parcel of the same infinity. We have only created this reality we call life out of fear, out of greed, and out of wonder. When we form groups, we aren’t joining together, we are further dividing ourselves. We foolishly try to change a false paradigm, an existence that doesn’t in fact exist, a world that is an illusion, and instead of trying to change ourselves we try to create an environment more comfortable to our not-selves. We are all ghosts in the machine, knots in a string, and we are all tasked with fixing ourselves, untying our own knot-selves and smoothing out the true string. Deep down, we all know this to be true, and this consciousness leaks through in our thoughts and our myths and our media. Our fables and our foibles are all evidence of this truth. We must remember that when we war on anything, when we battle and protest and team up and choose sides, we are acting against our TRUE selves, our TRUE nature, and whether you are fighting the terrorists for the corporations or fighting the corporations for the people or fighting the people themselves to ‘wake them up’ you are still the very root of what is wrong within our infinite sphere. As a wise one once said, ‘Checketh thyself, before you Wrecketh thyself’ =)
