In the peace of mind man can come to achieve great strides in reaching the goal of self realization. Quieting the inner voices of insanity, we come to be free of our own torments thereby allowing ourselves the freedom and choice of creating our own destiny. We each have a destiny which we fulfill each and every moment and until we achieve the ultimate victory of overcoming ourselves that destiny become quite apparent each and every moment as we realize the full effects fraught upon ourselves by ourselves. How is it that the same insanity continues and yet we think that we are free of it?
In thinking of our freedom we simply move the walls of our own prison to accommodate our new needs and thereby allow ourselves to relish anew the experience we most wish for - and yet the walls remain. It is not others who serve as guards to ensure our supplication, we have only ourselves to face to understand our own circumstance, forged by our own hand. How is it that we so enjoy playing hide and seek with ourselves?
In teeming up with others of like mind we merely find like mindedness. Is this new found freedom built to last? Will the viewpoint, quantified in numbers, provide the security we so long for? If we cannot stand alone how is it possible to stand with another - or is that not the point? As we migrate into areas of specialization what is it that we loose?
As sheep come to be herded into flocks, the wolves feast in packs. Whatever the terminology employed to waylay purity and truth there can be no takers unless we so choose.
Is it any wonder then why huge international corporations can exist at all? These vehicles of commerce have absolutely no soul - just like many of the bodies which inhabit the earth. Like attracts like, so why complain when these same corporations have not only come to rule our lives, but our destiny as well. When we run with the pack we become like the pack and no matter the excuse delivered, it all becomes quite self evident.
In our nakedness in the Garden of Eden we are but lost, lonely children. Though the apple of knowledge, of opening our eyes, has been bitten, we have yet to digest what it really means.
But not to worry, there are plenty of willing 'garden tenders' to tell you what to say and what to do, and more importantly, what to think.
After all, are we not merely 'human resources' to be used as is required? Is it not our duty to be made subservient so that we can just all 'get along'? Yes, please do go quietly into the night if that is your wish.
Or perhaps, just perhaps, we can catch a tiny, small glimpse of the cancer that eats within us and become motivated, even to some small degree, to heal ourselves completely away and apart from barbaric leaches and snake oil. The illusion of well being is not the real thing and can never be so.
It is not the 'human resource' masters who create the problem, it is we ourselves who fall prey to our own temptations. It is through our own selfish means that we do ourselves in.
One need not become part of the machine to be free of it. And so, perhaps it is time to stop being fed by it, to fast in order to allow our wayward tendencies to become plainly visible and thereby released. We can eliminate much more than the walls of our prison if we so choose.
That is what it all comes down to - we make our own choices. We are each responsible for our own choices and when we give that up we give up all. No one can choose for us unless we so desire.
When one chooses for another it demonstrates the fact that they have already given up their own right to choose. In this respect, misery so very much loves company.
Is it not better to stand alone than to follow the herd as it grinds it's way through the 'human resource' factory?
Physician, heal thyself.
We are all responsible for our own condition, so too are we responsible for our own well being and sometimes we must give up that which we most desire in order to cleanse and purify ourselves. One cannot know one's self while being fed by another.
