Notes from Nature...

You are not a cheap imitation to someone you admire. If your thoughts and actions are based on the actions and influences of others, then you are not expressing your uniqueness.

You are not trying to maintain permanently happy. Since happiness is dependent on external circumstances and life is constantly changing, trying to maintain a permanent emotional framework will only perpetuate and fortify your feelings of unhappiness.

You are not free. From an early age we are told that we must discover and become something other or better than what we are, in order to become free: unified and self-liberated (or self-fulfilled). To become all-knowing, all-encompassing, and one with life. To somehow be free from the illusion: the unknown, free from separation itself.

But to deny the self is to deny who you are and what you experience. Denying the self and trying to be free from selfishness is what's keeping you from functioning in a state of harmony. The big lie: in order to express our uniqueness, we must become whole and unified by following a system for harmony that someone with great authority told us was the answer and ultimate purpose to life.

Could believing in an answer, and therefore relying on a system or outside agency only perpetuate our feelings of separation, inadequacy and unfulfillment and not actually eliminate them? In order to search for an answer to our misery, we first need to know what we are trying to be free from. Since we can only experience what we know, any attempts to free ourselves from the knowledge (separation), only helps to perpetuate the self and our inherent desire to be free (misery).

Conclusion:

Harmony is to realize that there is nothing to understand, nothing to change and no system to follow that can bring us to the end of our tiresome search for wholeness (permanent pleasure). Could this search for freedom and salvation (misery) be a false illusion experienced via the instrument of thought, starring the self and it's inherent desire to be free? No salvation exists. Where beyond our desire lies only death. Where beyond thought yields no experience and no fear or separation.. only the changing of life from one form into another.

Last week i spoke a little about how other people can control and influence your actions and as a result, limit your experience. This week i want to touch on the fact that you don't have to join a cult or be conned by a single individual in order to become a victim (we become our own victim by what we choose to believe). We want to either blame others or else blame ourselves for what we experience. But in reality, what we choose to believe is really the culprit and is in fact responsible for what we then experience. Sure, other people and external things often play a part by influencing our beliefs, but this can only happen after we have chosen to believe that other people or external events are responsible for our happiness. Once we are no longer dependent upon external events in order to finally be happy, we will fall back into our natural state of harmony which doesn't demand a change.

Since we are all unparalleled and unique, this natural state cannot be duplicated or systematically conformed to via thought. Only YOU can unlock your limited experience by expressing your uniqueness (which is unknown and non-conceptualized by thought and the rest of society). Once something living and true is conceptualized, it is false. Because conceptualizing something implies to teach or to bring about a change, and since there is nothing to change in order to be what you already are, there is nothing to understand or be liberated from other than the beliefs which re-impose false solutions to the problems which it creates. How many times will we allow ourselves to be conned by others and also from within? As long as we search for who we are outside (or inside) of ourselves, we will be headed in the opposite direction of who we are. We cannot search for something which we do not know or believe and if we are searching it is only because we have been conned into believing we should become something better or other than what we are in order to be free.

Beware the liberators! Anyone offering you salvation and liberation is a wolf in sheep's clothing and will end up controlling and limiting who you are. Once a person is no longer conned by the notion that other people, concepts, and ideas are responsible for allowing them to operate in a state of harmony, they will not be interested in influencing other peoples actions in order to maintain permanence over others. Any system or teaching that conceptualizes harmony and offers you such things as freedom and salvation from your misery is merely a clever hoax of reinforcing your negative belief system by offering the polarized solution needed in logically correcting the system. But it is the root of the system and foundation of belief that still remains intact that is and was responsible for bringing about your limited or negative experience.

We are conned daily to believe in the solutions given by others, but never stop to realize that the solution and the problem both originate from the same belief system which was responsible for the limited or negative experience. I will use one simple example to illustrate what i mean:

Little Johnny is conditioned from an early age to not use drugs. Johnny is naturally curious about drugs and experiments at an early age. Johnny is caught and subsequently punished for experimenting with drugs. He is then told that if he uses drugs, he will become a homeless junkie who lives on the street and will not be loved by his family anymore. This is early programming used and indoctrinated into the society in order to reinforce a belief system which is then used to limit and control its citizens. Once Johnny is imprinted with the belief system that if he uses drugs, he will not be accepted into the society or loved by his family, any decision to use drugs in the future will then result in such an experience. The more Johnny uses drugs, the more he experiences what he has been programmed to believe. I am not saying for a moment that drugs are safe but rather that the belief system associated with drugs which is indoctrinated by society is even MORE dangerous and is being used as a form of mind control on the human race. I suspect that homeless drug-addicts suffer the most from this false belief system, since they are experiencing it and are in direct conflict with it as a result.

What's worse are the solutions given by the society in order to eliminate the drug problem. They keep the belief system in tact that associates drug use with negative experiences and offers you the solution of abstinence. But abstinence is trying to maintain one thing without the other or a state of permanence. And since humans have always had a natural desire for sex, drugs and other forms of stimuli, these false solutions of maintaining one thing without the other are designed to keep us operating in a state of extreme polarity (elimination or implementation).

The same point can be made with belief systems associated with sex. Sexual abstinence indoctrinated by Catholic priests and cults (such as Heaven's Gate) are practiced in order to become liberated or closer to God. This is another example of how a limited belief system can put you into a state of conflict and create a negative experience. These extreme belief systems falsely associate sex as evil or bad and since you are trying to eliminate something which is natural (like sleeping), you will become perverted or neurotic the longer you hold such a belief. The same polar opposite occurs with cults such as The Family which embrace extreme 'free love' amongst children and other close family members in order to become liberated and free. They too fall victim to the negative belief systems associated with sex that our society promotes in order to control and limit its citizens. Imagine if you believed that falling asleep was evil or bad and tried to stay awake forever. You would eventually go insane. But yet society promotes these negative belief systems associated with sex that are prevalent among the myriad of today's religious sects.

Both elimination and implementation are irrelevant when it comes to expressing your uniqueness since who you are is not dependant upon external actions, concepts and ideas. And since society has put everything into a concept, we are automatically sent in the opposite direction of who and what we are. We are sent in the direction of becoming something other than what we are and this is the first con game that is perpetrated into our minds. The notion of becoming implies time and that you are not yet whole. The goal of becoming something better than what you are is a self-perpetuating mechanism and is systematically designed to never end. Therefore, the self (who you think you are), which is formed out of concepts and ideas pushed forth by the society, is also part of this perpetual goal of becoming something which we are not. This goal is indoctrinated into our minds not only from others but also repeated within our own individual thoughts and is the very thing responsible for controlling and limiting our experience.

In conclusion, it is thought and the limiting belief systems (concepts and ideas formed out of society) that seek to keep us in a permanent state of conflict with ourselves. Once we are programmed and conditioned to believe in the solutions given by others (ie: a system for harmony), our actions are automatically influenced by others which limits our uniqueness and suppresses who we really are. Once our actions are the actions of others, we are in a state of conflict with who we are and will then fall victim to the many con artists offering us liberation and freedom from our limited experience which was brought about by the very same belief that has sent us in the direction of the con men. These con men and con women are as follows (but not limited to): Television Talk show hosts, Motivational Speakers, Spiritual Gurus, Political Leaders, Hollywood Celebrities, Religious Leaders, University Professors, and radical Anarchists.

Believing in the false solutions given by others is believing in something other than what you are and consequently being conned by the goal of becoming (ie: thought). I am not suggesting for a moment that we should try to eliminate thought. I am saying that our thoughts have been programmed and conditioned by others in order to limit our experience and suppress our uniqueness. This has increased over time due to the fascist nature of thought and its constant demand to bring about a change in order to maintain artificial permanence. But since there is no such thing as permanence (no end to permanence), the fascist nature of thought and its demand to have one thing without the other is also at great risk of imminent self-destruction.

Podcast for Thurs, Feb. 07, 2008

This week, we will focus on the notion of a con man: what makes a con man and how to spot the poison that is secretly injected into the mix of our minds.

Join Burkina Love Faso as he explores the world of spiritual & material Congames of freedom and liberation. The message is simple: how to dissolve limiting beliefs and be aware of the many con artists out there waiting and wanting to sucker you into a false system of control. Learn about spiritual & material deception and how to avoid a limited experience in your own life.

A lot of people think that unconditional love and positivity is the answer for ending conflict and bringing about a state of harmony in the world today. But it's really not that simple. All humans hold a victimization programming because we look to outside sources for our happiness. And since the outside world is a constant state of change, when we don't get the permanence that we want, we tend to blame others for our misery. All relationships in their natural state will eventually dissolve or change just as your beliefs naturally change. Since the people you surround yourself with are merely a reflection of your thoughts and beliefs, when you are done with a system of belief, you are done with those particular friends. As you search for new answers to your life or a new system for harmony, your temporary self is replaced with a new outer self. When your illusions or wants you have cease to make you happy or don't deliver what you expect from them, you tend to blame others or yourself and as a result change your actions or beliefs in order to not make the same mistake again. But what we fail to realize is that our new course of action is still directed by the same instrument that created the problem: thought. And since thought can only replace one illusion with another illusion, we will still result in misery by operating in a state of conflict with ourselves. Because thought is merely a tool we use to maintain a permanent state of pleasure (ie: permanent happiness).

As mentioned in a previous rant, maintaining a permanent state of pleasure is what is responsible for the misery. Because maintaining permanence is brought about via artificial means of trying to become something we're not. It's a direct result of suppressing our uniqueness and using a model to be who we are. Since there is no possible way to imagine or know your limitless potential, our only choice is to copy and model ourselves after others via the instrument of thought. When we do this, we are in conflict with ourselves and as a result, enter into a state of misery. In conclusion, if people stopped looking to outside sources for their happiness, we would no longer hold our victimization programming. Once we no longer hold this victimization programming, we no longer attract tyrants and oppressors who seek to control and limit our belief systems (in result limiting our experience).

It is not my intent to reveal to you all the details of this story of how we attracted such tyrants and oppressors that seek to control the earth, but rather point out what we can do to no longer allow ourselves to be controlled by the fascist nature of thought from which these people stem from.

1) Since we are all one species, we all have the same genetic traits and conditioned thought patterns within our human DNA. If we start to observe how we are being conditioned to believe certain things by others, we will naturally stop trying to become something which we are not. Once we stop believing that we must be something different than we are, we will automatically fall back into our natural state of harmony. The demand to bring about a change is their modus operandi for maintaining a state of permanence (ie: conflict and control). The system is historically known as "Hegelian Dialectic", coined after the German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. He spoke about the fascist nature of systems and how they brought about war and conflict. Thesis vs. Anti-thesis and out of those opposing sides comes an evolutionary result or synthesis expressed via war. Through this system, the agenda of thought or control evolves and moves towards ultimate destruction. We need to discover how we can dissolve boundaries by expressing our uniqueness rather than dissolving boundaries through conflict and division (ie: war).
All beliefs are part of the system.

2) Don't let thought control your actions. Doing things for others in order to get what you want will lead to expecting others to make you happy (or respond how you want them to). If you want to do something nice for somebody, do it without a reason. This way you will be operating in your natural state. You won't be caught in situations which you regret. You won't put yourself in a position to blame others or be a victim (remember: it is this victimization that is responsible for our current state of misery).

And lastly, remember that trying to be free from the misery created by the fascist nature of thought will only increase your misery. Because it will be through the knowledge of what you believe to be negative thoughts or negative behavior that will separate you from others. Once you are separate from others, you will believe you are superior to them but if you are operating in your natural state, you will never see anyone as better or worse than you. We are all just experimenting with different systems of harmony or systems of belief. Once you realize that all systems are false, your search for freedom or life journey will come to an end but paradoxically that is the one thing we fear the most. Do you truly want to be free? I doubt it. Then take unique baby steps by expressing who you really are..
