Your thoughts on how to become free

Reblogging here Gerry Spence´s post which I find utterly true:

“I have asked for a dialogue on how we might free ourselves from our masters.  I am looking for a strategy, an approach, a movement, a sound, an action, a universal word, that can be adopted by all slaves to set ourselves free.

The problem is, of course, that most slaves do not recognize their bondage.  Most believe they are free because, in fact, as workers, they have the freedom to move from one slave master to the next.  Many find the idea of slavery too frightening to really understand.  Many wish to climb the slavery ladder to achieve a higher status as slave, that is, a position of greater power and wealth.  So two conditions must occur before we can consider the road to freedom:  The first is to recognize our slavery.  The second is a desire to be free of it.”

Question and examine

Whatever norm is merely a fearful deception embraced and
handed over by certain biased individuals, who claim to be right.

We can only be kept in the cages we refuse to see

“At some point in human history, something happened within our mind:
We became afraid of Death and of future loss. This was the start of a great tragedy,
and an even greater possibility.

When we become afraid of death, of injury, of imprisonment…we
become…- controllable,
 and so…valuable…in a way that no other resource
could ever be.

The greatest resource for any human being to control, is not natural resources,
but other human beings.”

I have no mercy for a society that will crush people, and then penalize them
for not being able to stand up under the weight.

Says Terence McKenna

The central issue of our times is our inability to surrender to
WHAT WE KNOW IS RIGHT!

Sounds preposterous?…

Only the readiness of each one of us to see and embrace The Naked Truth,
will save us from this ubiquitous absence and lethargy of our age.

Culture is not your friend

We are led by the least among us, the least intelligent, the least noble,
the least visionary, and we do not fight back against the dehumanizing values
that are handed down as control icons.

The culture is a perversion, it fetishizes objects, creates consumer mania, it preaches endless forms of false happiness, endless forms of false understanding in the form of squirrelly religions and silly cults.

Culture is for other people´s convenience and the convenience
of various institutions.

Culture insults you, it disemopowers you, it uses and abuses you.

It invites people to diminish themselves and dehumanize themselves
by behaving like machines.

– Terence McKenna

The Most Important Question

Sometimes you come to the point where beyond the argument of deluded
self-importance, extravagance or bloated subjectivity, you simply know that the
current viewpoint promulgated by science or “spiritual” authority
 is “wrong”,
and you are “right”.

After all, there is no map to anything…

If you want to find out Who You Are and what Your True Destiny is about, you have to question Tradition and Societal Norm which are there to hinder, restrict and discourage you from finding yourself and what is right for you – your individual path.

Most people are never really “born” as they blindly follow the mainstream – “mainstream” meaning failure and perdition for individuality.

If you don´t wisely challenge and rebel against the present order, finding your most specific individualityyou are lost – you will miss the whole point with Life.

Can you thus assume the responsibility of knowing this, of trusting your inner voice and not the rational and dogmatic bunkum of conformity, even if that means derision, tribulation, humiliation and loneliness?

The price is huge, but BEING WHO YOU REALLY ARE IS HOMECOMING – the real answer to it all.
