Two Systems: Two Prisons

One totalitarian, and the other, living the dream.
Living the dream? Whose dream?
These states are both prisons.

We may think we have freedom, and are awake. That is the illusion; we are living by others’ standards. The scary thing is that people are being pushed to extremes, which creates understandable but superficial reactions. We may complain, but the extremes are still going ahead. As P.T. Barnum said in the 1800s, “Never give a sucker an even chance” and “There is one born every minute.” That’s what ‘they’ think about us.

We are constantly being primed for our safety on the conveyor-belt of compliance – but is compliance just a symbol of subservience?

Religion is the same. Whatever is said may be true, or it may not. How do we know? It is the knowingness/consciousness that is the truth, rather than whatever consciousness is directed towards. It’s a simple magician’s trick. Ultimately, consciousness, uncontaminated by ideas, is pure consciousness; it is empty cognisance, free of extremes.
