“I don’t care what you say anymore, this is my life. Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone!”

— Billy Joel

How are you living your life?

What do you believe in?

What sort of people do you listen to? And do you believe them?

Are you living your life based on how someone else told you to live?

Do you think others should have your beliefs?

Have you taken time to think about what you believe in? (And not just what you’ve been told to believe.)

“Blind belief in authority is the greatest enemy of truth.”

— Einstein

Live your life & don’t let any losers persuade you into being another crab in the bucket.

“Nature is not mute. It is humans who are deaf.”

Noises surround you daily, keeping you moving, but in what direction?

There really are certain “powers that be” that live to create distracting noises.

They want to keep you in fear, in anxiety, in anger, etc…basically, they want you to be dis-empowered.

They want to control you & your life & they have brainwashed the masses to try to distract you too, and to bring you into their confusion.

What you need to do to begin to get out of the confusion of the conformist masses, is first, recognize this is really happening.

Second, think about your life & what sort of life you would like to be living.

What does your ideal life look like?

Dare to dream.

Dare to step away from the conformists confused masses & live your best life.

Before listening to the distracting noises, listen to yourself. Listen to nature. Go within.

Being A Mad Philosophical Hatter

“It is not that I am mad, it is only that my head is different from yours.”

— Diogenes

When it comes to reality, there are billions of interpretations of what life is.

Who is to say what the ultimate reality is? Can any human or any species even know or really understand it?

People like to limit reality to their limited views so that they can “understand” reality, &/or “understand” people & other species, but “understanding” a limitless species with a very narrow & limited perception, usually breeds war, violence, hatred – & it usually stems from misunderstanding rooted in ignorance. – rooted in thinking that they know for sure the ultimate reality and they know for sure how humans & other species are & how they “should” behave.

Some tyrants even convince their followers to hurt & kill the “others” because the others are different – or the “others” have an original mind that doesn’t fit into their criminal & oppressive machine systems…

States & religions often punish people for thinking, and they praise conformity.

Emerson said: “For nonconformity the world whips you with its displeasure.” & this is still very true today.

Galileo was put under house arrest for the last 9 years of his life for being smarter than the current government & churches…he spoke the truth about the movement of the planets, which the state & church were ignorant of, and rather than communicating with him & seeing if what he spoke was true, they quickly punished him without any critical thinking.

Societies today too, especially when ruled by tyrants, are often quick to punish any & all forms of non-conformity.

I say don’t conform. Don’t bow down to a system that punishes genius. Don’t bow down to machine systems who only desire to control you, & to never help you. Don’t conform to nothing. Don’t give up your own mind & heart to serve mindless robots. Keep your mind. Don’t be a robot. Be a human.

And when you really are able to experience your human brain & heart deeply, you may get a glimpse into the vast cosmic universe within you, and you will know for sure that your insides are not filled with medal parts like a car is, but that your insides are filled with limitless knowledge & wisdom that should never be dehumanized & treated like a machine.
