Hi Silk.
But aren't you going to acquire something by removing these items from your life? Even if it's peace of mind or one's 'natural' state?
Why do we want these? Who wants them?
And how do we know we don't already have them?
Who said they're worth having?
This may be off the subject of power a bit, but these are the questions I've been asking lately, because I find that everything is a myth, a story, that I've been told. But we're told the story, the fairy tale, in such a way that it puts a longing in us, and we start searching before we really investigated what it is we're searching for. This idea of 'love', the idea of 'freedom', the idea of 'enlightenment'... How can anyone know what these things, (or no things), are except for the stories we've heard? Instead of anyone ever experiencing, 'love' for example, we experience our knowledge about 'love'. It's always second-hand. We drag these stories around about what love should be, or freedom, or truth or whatever, and we compare our world to the stories and inevitably must come up lacking. But if we drop the labels and the stories, life itself is very sufficient... well, there's no one to know "sufficient" or "insufficient". Which, to me, is the natural state. But again, we're caught in the circle: how do I know what is natural and unnatural? How do I know this natural state is something to be desired? Who is measuring "natural" and "unnatural"? The same problem...
This begins to look like a very effective structure for controlling people. And because everyone is in agreement, everyone is looking for 'happiness' or whatever, we don't even question if such a thing exists without the mind-seperation structure that perceives it, that IS it. I'm beginning to understand what the 'flyer's' mind is, as a structure anyway; although I have no first-hand encounters with anything like a flyer, and don't see why they would be necessary. The mind itself as a structure poses all the problems that a 'flyer's' mind could impose. The idea of seperation itself is enough to kill ourselves and eachother, and that is inherent in mind, let alone 'flyer's' mind.
We have the story of flyers from CC, but we also have the Sumerian version of the story of Genesis and the garden of Eden and alien genetic manipulation, which seems very probable to me. I've heard that our brains were not seperated into two hemispheres before that event. Maybe has something to do with the pendulum action observed by seers/ DJ in that center? Maybe these aliens are synonymous with flyers? Who can say? Regardless of flyers or aliens or whatever, we have the direct, immediate concern of mind f#*king things up and searching for who did this won't solve anything. But it's fun.
