Is everything that we believe about ourselves is just an illusion, what are we, do we really know ?. Yes we believe we are a human being, but what does that really mean ?. What is a human being other than someone’s definition of what a human being is ?.
In my way of thinking we are nothing more than a projected concept, we are nothing but a conditioned, and programmed mind body organism.
Lets face it, we don’t like being told that we are conditioned, we like to think that we are in control, but this isn’t true at all. If we all were truly in control there would be no wars, no hunger, no arguing over who’s religion is right or wrong, Yes we are controlled by our conditioning and programming, ,like it or not !.
Can you stay in bed all day just because you want to, then try it, I bet you can’t, and this is because we are conditioned, programmed, we have no choice but to do what we are conditioned to do.
And so where does religion come into all this ?. Well religion is like an escape artist, it gives us meaning, it helps us to feel good about our future, it is really nothing more than a drug. Many are addicted to this drug, just as they have for thousands of years.
Just like any addiction we need to realize why we are addicted, and through that realization we can heal ourselves.
But how do we heal ourselves ?. We heal ourselves by understanding that we are all ONE, that we are not separated, in this understanding we finally realize that we are all the same, the only difference is that we all have our own so called personality. But what is this personality ?, personality is derived from persona, meaning a mask, so our personality is nothing more than our mask, so we are not what or who we believe we are, we are just an illusion of our own making.
This truth is so upsetting by the ego, the ego just cannot except it, it will fight to the very end to save itself. So. Who will save you ?.
