"bought in and sold out to an idea" keeps us imprisoned. Who are we? - is our attempt to define that perception worth dying/killing for?

I was looking for some inspiration to start writing about how most people are not anything like the people we hear about. I came upon this right away, and so I used it:

----------quoted:
Light Bulbs:
"So it has all come down to being ashamed of myself. That is why I hide away and avoid people and overeat—I have been ashamed of myself for so long.

How do I start again?

A question that can be heard around the world these days. So there is the world, there is war, there is Katrina and Tsunami, there is famine, there is crime, then there are the lesser things of course, and somewhere underneath the same sky there is me. Me as I sit in my comfortable home, wearing my comfortable clothes, eating my comfortable food, and feeling—well, quite uncomfortable actually."

----------end quote-----------thanks #51044 ----



The various factions, groups, religions, organisations, cults and cultures are all just broad descriptions that don't actually describe anyone.

REAL people are cooking breakfast and washing clothes, trying to earn some money to buy necessities with, and enjoying the warmth of the sun in their comfortable clothes feeling, well, uncomfortable.

What we are NOT is fanatics,criminals, violent activists, rapists, murderers , terrorists, soldiers, and not wealthy or poor.

Even those people who see themselves as one of those things, or something else special and categorised, are not really anything more than "bought in" or "sold out" to an idea. At night, eventually, they go home and become normal and real.

Sold out to an idea. Selling out to a corporate culture, becoming usefull to that culture by proving your willingness to accept it's behaviors and ideas and contribute to its goals. Selling out to an idea about a percieved threat.

Buying into an idea, a suggestion. Buying a burger at McD is buying into McD's lies about nutrition [they are selling food, so nutrition is implied]. Buying into religion - a slavish attitude of being a servant of god paid for with dedication, in return for his protection and everlasting life, which is a pretty good deal if you can get it {if it sounds too good to be true, maybe it is?]

None of that is real, its just a "choice" to decide that that is what you will assumes is going to be reality. It makes life so much simpler that way, but because it doesn't include the whole picture it isn't real at all.

When we take on one of these personas, we become worry warts, and that will make us ill sometimes. We worry about adhering to some doctrine - are we following the rules? We become stressed because those "types" all have something to protect and serve, it becomes stressfull because it isn't real, and that in our protecting of it we commit sins.

We also fear chaos, and we believe chaos will reign without doctrine. Its not true, chaos is beautiful, it is the actual free state - freedom is not the fake freedom we are killing and dying for now, as seen thru the eyes of one group or another. Freedom to belong to a group is just a prison with options. [lol eh?]

FEARS alone keep us prisoners. We are trained to fear different things, new things, beautiful things, natural things. We are pointed towards the enemy and told they are "that type". Its not true - they are cooking breakfast, just like us.

We have fears in our personal situation too. We fear dying without being baptised, and that kind of fear could not be known without help, despite the fact that not being baptised has no known consequences... the UNKNOWN is a great tool for creating fear - please do not let that happen to your kids.

Its all about how we see ourselves , our place in this world. When we stake a claim to a certain spot on the earth to call our spot, we begin this dance of competition and ownership and defending whats ours and defending whatever doctrine comes with that spot.

I don't think I quite nailed it here, because I am trying to show that people are not anything like people described as our enemy. Its all a trick to get us to fight each other. Its difficult to describe this - on the one hand we need chaos to be free, but from chaos comes control too, when chaos is from negative things. Maybe chaos got a bad name that way...


Who are we?
- is our attempt to define that perception worth dying/killing for?
