It is the middle of June 2024, the world as we knew is ending. The Great Reset
is our certainty, the US economic power is threaten, the end of the
petrodollars is coming, and as I see it, the WW3 is inevitable.
I don't choose sides. I have no honor, no dignity, no name, no country but
only a life to be lived without concerns. In reality, nothing what happens is
important. Nothing!
Not wasting my energy on worrying about future and treating life with respect,
I don't involve myself in world's politics. Dispassionate, outside of and
completely detached from society at large, I have no agenda or any issue to
force upon anyone.
People are spiritually dead
There is no interest of being free. Life has been channeled safely into
non-threatening, ego-gratifying activities. It is related to only to the same egoistic lifestyle of acquiring
money to have bigger and bigger houses, newer and newer cars.
People
have no interests to develop spiritually. They are moving, doing useless
things watching others just like themselves.
You are ignorant too.
You see, in the broadest sense, that something is wrong in the world. What
that something is, what's wrong, and how it can be fixed all differ from
person to person, but general pattern of egoistic view is always the
same.
The most important words, ever recorded, are two sentences where Gurdjieff
summarized the process of awakening.
If a man is deprived of his illusions, imagination and all that prevents him from seeing reality - if he is deprived of his interests, his cares, expectations and hopes - all his striving would collapse, everything would become empty and there would remain an empty being, an empty body, only physiologically alive.
This would be the death of "I", the death of everything it consisted of, the destruction of everything false collected through ignorance and inexperience. All these will remain in him merely as material, but subject to selection. Then a man will be able to choose for himself and not have imposed on him what others like. He will have the conscious choice.
- George Ivanovich Gurdjieff
Stop being ignorant
It doesn't matter much if you meditate or not, or whether you eat meat or not,
or whether you give to charities or steals from them, for awakening you need
to dismantle your false preconceptions and get out from daily life's trap. You
need to challenge your opinions; your most cherished and deeply held beliefs
because they are not true. You need to see clearly and discover your false
self.
Observe yourself at work, in interaction with others, see your roles, make a
study of it, and dissect it, reverse-engineer it.
The awakening starts from there. Explore your life, strive for freedom, harden
your hearth, sharpen your mind.
Face the facts, face your mortality, see your meaninglessness. There is
nothing more devastating to the ego than the contemplation of meaninglessness
and insignificance. Of no-self.
You don't undergo the process of awakening out of love for the truth but out
of hatred for the false: a hatred so intense that it burns everything and
spares nothing.
