The End of Triviality

There can be nothing denying that the human race is a race of slaves. Even the men, and few women, that we conisder to be slave owners are in themselves slaves to their own fake ideals. How then can it be possible to gain freedom? It is not hard to understand how life should be lived or how freedom can be achived. What is hard is to actually accomplish it since the world is inbedded with a system that makes such action practically impossible. The root of all evil is the importance we have given to the trivial. By trivial I mean most things connected to society and the acts performed throughout the day. Some might say that it is a question of personal prefrence what is considered trivial but it most cetainly is not.
Money, career, gossip, envy, greed, TV, radio, popular music, politics, war, abuse, drugs, tourism, school, nationality, holidays, fashion, shops, malls, cars, factories, products, advertisement, traditions, bureaucracy and a thousand more things. None of it has any meaning. It is all pointless. Trivial. It is there to shorten life, not lengthen it.

On your deathbed looking back on your life what will you remember? What will you miss? What do you regret not doing? What would you have done differently given the chance?
Would you have tried to work more to earn more money? Taken the time to see all the episodes of a certain sitcom? Gossiped more with the neighbours? Stuck to fashion just a bit more? Taken a bit more drugs, perhaps even become an alcoholic? Maybe go to Mallorca to party one more time? Voted for somone you usually didn’t vote for? Studied harder in school to get better grades? Hung your country’s flag on your balcony to show your pride? Maybe join the army and kill people? Had more coffee in one of the café’s in the mall? What? What would you have done differently? I hope none of the above. I hope none of the trivial.
What about living a life dedicated to the fullfillment of the mind? Spending every waking hour training that brilliant muscle inside your skull? Improving your mental health by learning true knowledge and then spreading this knowledge to everyone around you. Do the right thing. Destroy what is evil and support what is not. Maybe even become immortal. It is not impossible. Nothing is impossible. All things are possible except of course in society. Ay there is the rub!
To not end up in prison every man needs to earn his keep for food and board. Man needs to study in public school and learn what everyone else has to learn; to be a cog in the wheel of society and keep it rolling down the hill (inevitably over the cliff down the chasm of triviality).
Man needs to fall in line. Man needs to have his place and belong to his nation and group and to vote, if he lives in democracy, for his leader. Man has to have trivial dreams of career and success. Man has to be kept ignorant from the fact that success, true success, would be to empower the brain with such powers that he/she could leave the ground and rise up towards the stars and fly away. Never to return again.

I am not exaggerating.
I am speaking truthfully. There is great potential in us. Our powers can be likened with the powers of sexuality. When we were young, before we knew the possibilities of an orgasm, we did not give it much thought. Once, though, we realised the concepts of sex and then the sensation of an orgasm we became aware of a new force within. It is the same with this other power I am speaking of.
Within us all is a God asleep. No he is not above or below, but within. And to let him sleep that is the Original Sin. And it is a power that cannot turn man into an evil God. These powers can only flow in one direction and that is towards harmony and bliss.
I urge you, whoever you are reading this, to take all this into consideration if you already have not and try and break the pattern of tradition, religion and triviality. It must all come to end or we are forever doomed. To quote Bill Hicks;
“Evolution did not end with us growing thumbs.”

But before there can be a revolution of the mind there has to be a space for it to happen. Where is this space possible? Certainly not during your coffe break. Not whilst driving to work. Not when you are laying down in bed to sleep. Not on your Holy Day drinking beer on a beach somewhere. Not after you have done your tax and before you have to cast your vote. Inbetween casual relationships. After, during or before you meet your friends in a bar or at the game.When and where?
By murdering the trivial and taking charge then this space will appear and the revolution of the mind is bound to follow. But I am aware it is a catch 22. You need space to be able to realise that it is all trivial. When you are up and inside the trivial it is very hard to realise it. I suggest you quit your job and go to the library and spend a few months reading up on yourself. By you I mean all of you who already have not realised all this. It frightens me to suspect that you are very few otherwise society would be very different.

All you need to sustain life is food (and even that could be argued but that is a whole different topic that I shall not discuss here and now). The rest of life is yours. It is up to you. What do you want to be? A trivial slave or a God? What do you think I strive for? How do you think I feel? How do you think it feels?
Join me…
