Empowering Yourself?

We have become so daft that we think ’empowering yourself’ is a normal expression. This is acquiring false confidence from a memory bank of mundane ideas in order to become a self-centred comic-book, parading around in the pretence of reality.

It’s not easy to find the words to hit the spot and change our life for the better, rather than merely bolstering up an ego. ‘Empowering yourself’ is just a phrase promoting more selfishness.

To really gain control of our life, we have to investigate what sort of fuel we are running on; self-delusion or wisdom.

What’s wisdom?
Wisdom is knowing what we are, which we’ve forgotten or ignored.
We are uncontaminated consciousness – and nothing else.

How do we realise this?

Look into the mind; do you find a self?
No.
We see film strips of past experiences.

So where is the audience?
It is consciousness – what else can it be?
The projectionist is the collective’s antics.

That knowledge is the wisdom we seek to deal with this comic-book world (and whether it’s a comic-book or a book of the dangerously insane will depend on your point of view …).
