What word describes you best? HINT: The word gets damned a lot.
WHO ARE YOU IN THE BEGINNING? You came into existence when a quantity of energy resulted in a separate individual intelligence (an awareness, a consciousness) that eventually became you and your weird mother-in-law.
YOU ARE ENERGY IN A TEMPORARY FORM CALLED HUMAN. YOU ARE AN AVATAR FOR THE INTELLIGENCE THAT IS ENERGY AND LIFE-FORCE, THE ONE CONSCIOUSNESS BLA BLA BLA, or if you prefer, NATURE.
WHO ARE YOU AT BIRTH? From a human avatar’s perspective, you are a body, mind, emotions. You don’t HAVE a body, mind, and emotions. You ARE a body, mind, and emotions. You (body, mind, emotions) are a mirror reproduction of the genetic memories of your ancestors. The spooky ghosts of your ancestors are alive and living through you, and they are YOU at birth and later hide in your closet and under your bed waiting for a chance to scare the “BOO!!!” out of you.
The crazy voices in your head are your ancestor’s ghosts telling you what they want you to do, or what they think of you, and what they like and don’t like, and to eat more anchovies, but hold the pizza. Welcome to your NATURE.
WHO ARE YOU NOW? Your birth-nature (what you were born with) had programs (software) added to it. You (your mind) was trained, disciplined, conditioned, educated, programmed, indoctrinated, brainwashed, propagandized and totally Hollywooded for the benefit of power, wealth, and glory, boob jobs, face lifts and the least psycho-psychiatrists you can get counseling from so you can tell your friends how sane you’re not quite yet. Welcome to your NURTURE.
Today, you are the result of nature, nurture, experiences and memories, which makes you just neurotic enough to give a shit what people think.
SCIENCE DOES NOT KNOW. Science does not know if there was a who done it, how it done it, when it done it, or why it done it, whereas east and west philosophers and theologians guess, theorize, speculate, pontificate, make up stories, believe or have faith, after which they go to war to see who gets the best chef ever.
TWO WAYS TO ENJOY YOUR LIFE. Way One: Don’t listen and don’t engage the voices–the thoughts–of your ancestral ghosts, and don’t listen and don’t engage the voices–the thoughts– of your programming (all your experiences and memories that haunt you). In other words stay out of your mind, ignore your mind (use only the analytical part of your mind that knows how to boil water). In other words, use your mind as the tool it is, but don’t be its fool.
Way Two: Talk with your ancestral ghosts, and talk with the voices of your programmed mind and its experiences and memories and enjoy a riotous ride on the wild side of chills and thrills and die screaming, but remember to be absolutely thrilled to have had experiences and emotions that stressed and compressed you until you exploded.
WHAT’S THE BOTTOM LINE. That’s kind of confusing. Eastern thought is don’t come back for another life (extinguish yourself and never shine again). Western religious thought is, live forever. Become immortal and feed all the dogs and cats you ever owned throughout all eternity because nothing ever really croaks.
WHAT’S THE REAL BOTTOM LINE. You get home from your jungle safari on earth, from your theme park rides, from your pain and pleasure adventure on Death World, and your family asks, “Did you have a good time? Did you enjoy it? Please tell us all about it, because we sure as hell ain’t doin’ it ourselves. We are smarter than that, and too comfortable, but we don’t mind hearing about it, or reading the book, or watching the movie. Oh, and if you didn’t enjoy it, and didn’t have a good time, remember, WE WARNED YOU.”
WHAT’S THE REAL REAL BOTTOM LINE: Life does life for its entertainment, for its joy and pleasure, just like all of us avatar’s-of-life do our lives for our entertainment, joy and pleasure.
If you are not having fun, if you are not enjoying all that is life right now, obviously your avatar-mind is still nuts from all your genetic ghosts of Christmas past yelling at you, and all the programming and propaganda your mind spew like puke, so the evidence is, it’s not your time to wake up, but the good news is, you were free entertainment for other avatars, and though the other avatar mind’s that are awake have empathy for your plight, they can’t help but enjoy your dramatic pimple eruptions, but they don’t tell anyone unless they want to die screaming, which is the coolest of all death options on Death World.
