46175 "Another Gearwheel In The System"

The human race sure is a spectacle when observing Earth without its existence. Human innovation has taken the Earth by storm. As Earth, as nature, preceded humanity, humans are essentially a cog in the emergent, symbiotic system we call the Cosmos. There is no such thing as isolation. Life… Existence is built upon relationship. The relationship with the tree, the body, the bird, your mind, ideas, and the list goes on. The relationship is limitless. The very fact of relationship being the foundation of all existence means that the individual is in the collective; the collective is the individual.

The individual is the droplet of the ocean of existence… But, the very fact that it is an ocean means that every droplet is essential in itself as well as the rest of the ocean. In this, Responsibility is recognized. You are not only responsible for yourself but also your relationships. Compassion is the bread and butter of responsibility and morality.

Dealing with the curse of knowledge and intellect, the human race has become a cancer, a pest not only to the earth and its inhabitants but also to itself.  The intellect and knowledge is of the past. This is the ground of all tradition and habit. Also, the intellect is limited for being dualistic and never whole. The essence of karma is not of revenge or justice. Instead, karma is the fact that all that you express will affect you. Since all our expression is into a field of interconnection, you will affect yourself as well.  All hate is an effect... not a cause. All selfishness is an effect… not a cause. There is always an influence to a behavior.

Our society is mechanical, which means we are mechanical. We are machines more than humans. What is the machine's fuel? Money and the self-grandeur that comes along with it.  This vanity is quite silly and superficial. A droplet is a droplet in the vast ocean of existence. No one is greater or lesser. Comparison becomes child's play for the foolish and stupid.

We do all these petty traditions and habits, yet we have no idea the effects and causes of them. We blindly do as the past tells… commands.  This repetition is of a robot, a machine. Are you a machine?

Why do you pay taxes? Why do you pay for food? Why do you pay for clothes? Why do you pay for health? Why do you pay for leisure? Why do you pay to live? Why do you pay to exist? Do you see the scam? This system that is built by the few for the few is never meant for the many… for the all. The society we live in is against the nature of existence, the nature of all. Why do we accept the middle-man that is exploiting and manipulating you by your fears? Why are you so afraid to stand up? Why don't you and I change? …not for personal reasons but for the fact that when something doesn't change it is doomed to its destruction.

Understand the fictional society we live in can be changed as easily how the individual can change. This then asks, what is the non-fictional society? The non-fictional society is Humanity in itself.  The very impersonal observation of humanity is the non-fictional.

Now, the natural response of this suffocating habit and tradition is "I need to escape. I can't escape." This is not an issue of escaping. Escaping doesn't change anything. Instead, ask why is there this natural response to escape, to isolate. There is no such thing as isolation since as long as you exist you are in relationship.

Humanity is an organism. The whole and individual are both organisms. There is influence across the board of all individuals. The relationship of individuals creates the organism of the Human Race as a whole.  Understanding this, when the individual(s) change, the whole changes along with it.  This is called the 100th monkey effect. When that one individual revolutionizes, the rest catch on. When one suffers, this suffering spreads like wild fire. But, not all are affected. There are still the anomalies that break the movement.

The change of all humanity starts in the individual. The very individual is Humanity.

Dealing with the massiveness of existence, the dictator is called Nature… The way things are.  Now, when you try to stray off, nature has its way of those who doesn't ride along will not last very long.  Of course, Nature is not black and white. Nature is colorful and variable. It is foolish to live your life by an ideal of Nature, because Nature is beyond your idealism no matter cynical, absurd, or true it may be.  Truth of the nature is not found in mere words and symbols. Truth is found in the very independence of the words and symbols.

Even thought Nature is inescapable, the very understanding of Nature is freedom in itself. Understand everything that you can. Do understand neither with rejection nor acceptance. To understand impersonally of what is there in itself.

Understand yourself not of separation/isolation. Understand the human race as you are the human race. The Observer is the Observed. The very isolation creates an illusion.

In our cruel, corrupt society, your blood and your sweat from your fears is its fuel. The only freedom you have is self-forgetfulness in sex, drugs, and other means of entertainment. Understand your dependence and attachments. Understand your fear and restless desire.

The society is corrupt because you are corrupt. The society is cruel because you are cruel. As cog in the system, when you change, the system will change. The old will curse the new because old will see death. The new is life of the death of the old. Allow the old to wither for that is its inescapable fate. If you wish to attach to the old, the past, you will die along with it and its misery.

Live on. Die with Vigor.  Our time here in existence is very limited… there is no time to not change.  Live to Die.

The next generation are reliant on our maturity to change and evolve… let us not let them down.
