Living In A System

We live in a system
We believe in the system and die in the system.

The set up.

System: from Greek sustēma, from sun ‘with’ + histanai ‘set up’.

Even if we join another group, religion or culture – and it doesn’t matter what it’s called – it’s still a system. 

The system is made up of words and gestures/performance. We are brought up in the system, and this is how we learn to conform and be ‘happy’ in our servitude until we realise its limitations. 🙂 The system has no reality.

The question to ask is how we escape. 

As long as we all argue in words, we are bound to the system through our emotions of likes, dislikes, pride, jealousy, indifference … We have to boldly go beyond the words and gestures. Unfortunately, when we do, this we upset the set up – and people don’t like it. Authorities don’t like it. We can lose friends and family. 

When we stop reacting, we stop performing, and the show can’t go on. 🙂

Living outside the system is living in silent awareness. We don’t give opinions or take sides; we just get on with the work in hand – chopping wood, fetching water … 

The essence of silent awareness is pure consciousness.
This is our reality. 

It’s outside the system.
