Welcome To The Real World

You can't deny that you've felt like something's wrong with the world, like Morpheus said in the matrix film it feels like "a splinter in your brain". Something is not right and it's causing you unwanted pain and misery that you can't seem to get rid of.

You are living a lie, you live in a world enslaved by belief and superstition, how many times have you seen people helplessly put there hands out praying to the sky, hoping that there would be a savior, a savior that would free them from their misery.

It's ironic really.

There is no savior, nobody can help you, because that is the problem, the problem of belief, the belief of self.

Now I invite you to take a look at reality, and it's right here, you don't have to go anywhere, you don't have to open a book or go search for it, reality is already happening now.

I want you to open your eyes, I want you to wake up. And it's not gonna be a happy trip.

It's just that, you have been a slave to belief your whole life, a slave to what you think is right and wrong, a slave to society and a slave to religion.

Don't you think it's enough? Don't you think it's time you saw the truth? Don't you think it's time to live honestly and truthfully?

If you really want this, I'll help you see it.

Forget what you've been told, I am inviting you to use your own eyes, your own experience to see what is real and what isn't.

The person that is reading this right now is not an actual person, that's just a lie.

It's a brain, connected to a body, and that brain projects images and visualizations called thoughts. The body is directly engaging reality through the five senses, the brain interprets the senses and projects a model of what is being experienced in order to function.

The brain uses labels (also projections) to make sense out of what's going on, to make sense of the input, and automatically projects the model (output) which suits best.

Take the reading of these words as an example, the eyes "see" the words automatically producing the input as electrical signals sent to the brain, the brain interprets these signals, and labels them accordingly in order to "make sense" out of them, creating the "understanding" of these words as a projected model for what is there.

Now that happens not only when reading, it is happening all of the time, when your at work, when you go for a jog in the morning, when you look at anything anywhere, the mind just labels, categorizes, stores, just to add to it's gigantic library of information called "knowledge".

That's where labeling comes from, and a label in itself is just a layer added on top of what really is there, and that's ok as long as the thing being labeled exists.

Now imagine the cookie monster.

What happened here is that the brain projected an image of what the cookie monster might look like, the brain doesn't know for sure what the cookie monster is, because the cookie monster does not exist in reality, it's just a label that doesn't belong to an actual thing, that's what's called "imagination".

The input the brain had in order to project an image of the cookie monster was not a direct experience of the actual cookie monster, but the input were these words "now imagine the cookie monster."

And that is what belief is all about, trying to make sense out of shit that doesn't really make sense.

Take the belief of God for example, anything about god only exists in your imagination, since there was never a direct experience of god, therefore "God" is a label for something that doesn't really exist, it's just an imagination.

When the brain blindly "assumes" that God exists, and believes that assumption, then that belief is treated as if it has some real substance in reality, as if it is as real as what is directly experienced at the moment.

It's these blind assumptions that are the basis of delusion, and the cause of unwanted misery and helplessness, since you can never control your thoughts, you can never control these labels that just pop up, you can only honestly look at a belief and see whether it has an real substance to it in reality or not.

The self is a belief adapted by humanity for some reason since history began, and it has never been questioned, if you look at this honestly, you will see that the self has no basis in reality whatsoever, it's just the imagination of the brain, it's just the brain endlessly trying to label something that doesn't exist.

The thought or label called (you) exists, but the question is, does the thing being labeled exist in reality?

Or was that all just imagination? Just mere speculation?

Now that's enlightenment for you.

Welcome to the real world ;)
