On Our Current Plain, the "Freedom" is Spiritual

How can you identify and define a rose without knowing first what a rose was?

You can appreciate its beauty; it's texture and how it blossoms in the sun... yet unless someone pointed out to you it was a poison ivy you've been coddling, you would have believed the lie being broadcast daily.

How many lies prevail in our cultured society?

Is it not a continuous bombardment of the senses, or should I say, instigation of your senses, to be reminded of something you may identify with but yet do not know ( the star, athlete, lifestyle, bank account, etc. )?

And those who have tasted the carrot you've been chasing; is it really that tasty when you see the result of greed around you in the faces of the homeless? Sure, your direct greed did not put that sullen face on the street, but the collective greed ( or complete ignorance of how the economic machination works ) is a by-product of consumption.

The lack of perspective is enormous.

The distractions are limitless and full abandon in them is encouraged in the marketing message to your melon.

Read here about how, for the lack of vocabulary, understanding and knowledge of things greater than pop culture, our blissful ignorance is the very matrix by which our bodies are enslaved while our minds exist in a fairy tale land of amusement.

From the article:

"However, there are no perfect nomenclatures. They are Janus-faced. Roses grow with prickles. We all say one person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter. A perfect cliché. An Arab proverb states that "in his mother's eyes the camel is a deer."

And read here about the golden calf which you unwittingly are made to serve.

Cheers, and Happy New Year.
