We Never Left The Cave
Plato’s allegory of the cave:
Imagine human beings living in an underground cave. They’ve been there since their childhood, forced to look ahead at projections on a wall. There is light from a fire blazing behind them and puppeteers project images on the wall that the audience believe to be real as they have seen nothing else throughout their lives. This is the nature of education and ignorance.
We are still watching the screen today.
We still have our heads in a book.
We are still believing the words.
We are still captured.
All we have to do to exit the cave is be aware that everything is an illusion of reality – shadows projected onto our minds. Our actual reality is the seeing – consciousness. Even be aware of philosophical descriptions of the cave as those can turn into yet another long-winded theory. Humanity has been duped.
All political parties are just a uni-party. We don’t vote for change; we vote for the same misdirection of organised crime, and we’re still in the cave.
The cave has no reality.
It is merely a suggestion to which we consent.
We are free in the moment of seeing.
