Man has been put in a box, forged, molded to be something he’s not. ‘Eat the same things most people eat, because the ad says so and they taste good. Concern yourself only with working and making money, so you can consume and become like the rest…
‘Get married and have lots of children, because that is the “normal/way to love” you have to obey. Seek daily addictions, identity, groups in the world, so you can feel whole and loved by the rest of the cogs. You must choose a religion, a god, a prophet, choose a side to become another worshiper, because only sides hold the truth and direction you need.’
Time to Get Up
And it goes on and on with the performances of the ignorant clowns. And if you do not join in this, then something’s wrong with you. It is not normal. But beware, this is the box, which has structured your mind. Of course, you don’t see it, you deny it even. But, wake up from your slumber, I say! It is time to get up from your cushy dream.
The feeling of true love and happiness equals freedom. Freedom to think for yourself without influences or bias. Freedom to be yourself without being ashamed or self-conscious in front of others. Freedom to do whatever is healthy and moral without following what others say and do.
Freedom to walk your own path without feeling lonely or odd because you do not choose to walk in the path of others. These are just a few examples of what freedom truly is. Most people in the world do not have it, because true freedom requires courage and a strong personality. Only a very selected few among us actually have freedom.
Losing freedom
These are some examples of why groups, always without your awareness and inducing the illusion of ‘group identity’ in you, rob you of intelligence and moral values:
1- You must assimilate the group’s beliefs and moral values to belong to it, even if you tell yourself that you don’t have to. The programming happens subconsciously.
2- You must be “A Team Player”, which means accepting and following the ventures and commands the group has for you, even if it lacks rationality and intelligence, even if it’s biased and divisive with others outside the group.
3- As you belong to the group, your mind starts shifting from your individual identity to a ‘group identity’. And soon you start creating the way you are, your goals, your values, your way of thinking and feeling, and the truth based on the group.
4- Your attachment to the group’s mentality creates the illusion that you are whole only with the group. In this illusion, you become attached, fascinated, addicted to what the group offers you. Soon, your subconscious creates the program where you believe you are nothing without the group.
Women and men are not so different in reality. Well, society has always told them they are very different. But when it comes to wanting to be understood, accepted, loved, acknowledged for who they are, they are not so different. We all need space, time, room to grow as individuals.
The key to any relationship is being there, showing your affection, with honesty; but not smothering people, thus giving them access to their own personas in order to understand themselves and their role in the relationship. It’s about freedom, because freedom is where true love grows.
Unselfishness
And relationships require openness with each other, and this openness is about exposing our feelings. This can be scary, I know this from personal experience; however, I also know now that opening your heart to somebody is about unselfishness. It’s easy to be selfish and remain safe in your emotional cocoon, but it takes real courage and true love to open yourself to someone.
That is being unselfish, because by opening your heart to someone you are sharing yourself with others, even running the risk of not being accepted. That takes a great human being, especially if you’ve been hurt in any way in the past. I wish you the best in your relationships moving forward.
Freedom is the most important in life. Without freedom, we don’t feel love. Without the feeling of love, we become miserable and thus make others miserable too. But freedom then lies in our minds, because it all starts in our minds. Letting go of what others say, I become free. Letting go of the past, I become free. Letting go of all expectation, I become free.
Freedom is being yourself entirely
So, letting go of all I have mentioned leads you to being unique. Being unique means finding yourself. Because only by letting go of all this you can have the time and the energy to actually look into yourself and free your mind from carrying the burdens from the past, from others, and from all pressure. And being free requires you to become free of burdens, friend.
As I narrate my new audiobook and edit the same book as I go, I am reminding myself of the essence of morality and moral values:
“But let a man not be falsely conscious as the unscrupulous lawyer, for this so-called “man of law” is not always truly moral. He might not be a bringer of any human law, as he seeks to be recognized in his profession as a “winner” instead of as an example of morality. “Or, let a man not be leaning on his arrogance as the crooked police officer, who becomes a filthy Nazi unto himself by bullying others, causing much human suffering, and degrading his own badge. Ask yourself: What business has a real man in life if not morality itself…??~The True Revolution Begins.
So many people do what’s moral as long as it benefits them and their hidden selfishness. Don’t think about others, but think about your own morality as you read this: If you are into politics, who do you support and why?? Are you attached to the wrong others did to you and never actually looking at your own fault?? Are you attached to your own beliefs so much that you can’t see the truth outside it?? Do you look down on others, on anyone at all?? Look at yourself and change. Don’t remain arrogant and immoral. What blocks mankind from feeling true love and happiness in life is attachment to their own selfish immaturity/immorality.
And this, of course, affects all of us. Nobody is the exception. And whoever thinks himself as the exception, shows himself his own arroganceand attachment to his own image. Being moral, having and displaying moral values, morality, is not about doing what billions of people do around the world, and is not following what feels good to you. It is about doing what is right, even if it doesn’t fit with your ego and your desires. And one who can see this without excuses, and then apply it in daily behavior, is the one who is truly awakened. So, we must understand there’s no true morality in us unless we leave our attachment to opinions, to beliefs, to traditions in our family, to philosophies of groups. See this and become better by changing ways of thinking and behaving.
This nonfiction work expands the mind into freedom from society and its mores. Because it is about growing in understanding, seeking that which is true and incorruptible in us, and letting go of the harmful and unhealthy patterns which push us away from individuality and love.
There is no feeling like the one that gives us acceptance, support, unity, harmony, and that sense of freedom yet embrace from the ones we love. After all, everybody in life seeks to feel accepted and validated by the people around them. But this love must be nurtured within you first, because if it is not then you’ll become needy and you will become a slave to others while you are in search for this love from them. No one wants to feel needy, like we must get validation or assurance from others in order to feel loved, valued, happy. That is why is extremely important to nurture this greater love first in ourselves.
And sometimes people seek to demonstrate love by going to great lengths, by giving opinions, by trying to fix, by showing that they can be nurturers; but really, quite often, just being there is enough. Just to let ourselves and others know that the value of love is in remaining. The ego, the overthinking mind, seeks to show worth, to validate by action, to seek more ways to display how we feel. Sacrifice, strain, effort, gifts, great demonstrations. This is what society says one should do to love, to make someone feel loved, to find value in ourselves; however, this is a mechanical pattern which is born out of our egos to feel better about ourselves.
Because the simplicity of love is experienced fully by just being there, for ourselves and for others; and this does not require the ego to come up with newer ways to “love.” Because this is a more pure, heartfelt, honest and authentic love; and a love which does not make you a slave to others or to their ways to love you or not love you, to their expectations or to their requirements from you. It’s a love which remains in you. It’s a love which heals in relationships. And it’s the only love which can make you whole. And this wholeness is what we all seek. It is in us really. Without anxiety about finding newer ways to show our care. Without copying others. Without feeling less than others and their actions. Just communicating. Just gazing into each other’s eyes. This is all that love is. The rest is a made up scheme from the overactive ego in us.
Andhere are some good, old promos for your enjoyment:

It is important that one remains aware that life is an exploration, which means that you need confidence, and courage, and passion for some activity, process or goal in your journey. But this must be your own passion, not out of religion, or groups, or systems in society. This must come out of you, begin in you, and make you feel better about yourself, which means to make you a better person. Like working on health for your body and mind, perhaps through exercise and a change in your food consumption. Or like writing, sketching, making arts and crafts. It is about dedicating your time and energy to build something in you, some strong confidence and desire to grow your talents and work on becoming unique.
Do you know why people fall into addictions, liked gambling, sex, drugs, and even playing their little games to be like others, to attract others, and to be one more desperate copycat in life…?? It is because they secretly, subconsciously, feel talentless, empty, lonely, and needy inside them. I am not judging though. I merely bring you to the awareness of it, so you may see the problem in yourself perhaps, or in another, and learn from this, and become better yourself from this. Because this is a big problem in the world right now. Of course, everybody hides it, they wouldn’t let anybody know about the burdens they carry; because people seek to pretend and belong to other groups of people, and even do it subconsciously or without knowing it.
But life is about becoming better. And this requires self-discipline. This requires vision and follow-through. And this requires that you find a passion, immerse yourself in it, and only build your own path and way to do things as you go. So you can gain self-confidence, and lessons, and character, and forge that uniqueness in your personality. This is how you grow love, happiness, and that feeling of success in yourself without feeling anxiety and neediness for someone else or for society’s systems. And this brings you great creativity as well, because this makes you able to find solutions on your own, and able to see your own attachments and neediness, and because this helps you to become less stubborn and quicker to learn life lessons. And that, obviously, shines a big problem too. The problem that many of us carry, because many learn life lessons too slowly, and others don’t even learn anything. So be aware of all this.
Thanks for reading. FREE fantasy/mystery novel. And please check out the book trailers for my YA fantasy/mystery novel titled “BENJAMIN JONES – The Call of The Shaman.“
I am all about greater understanding, empathy, intelligence. Not intellectuality. Intellectuals can rise in society because this one is superficial, but in life to know true love and happiness intellectuality cannot help. Intellectuality is a burden, because it makes you stubborn, desperately seeking answers and meaning, it creates the anxiety and the need to belong to groups.
Intelligence, on the other hand, makes you lose stubbornness, it makes you more compassionate, full of understanding of your own actions and its consequences. Intelligence loosens your grip to philosophies and rigid concepts. And intelligence is only adopted by an individual, not by groups.
Simply measure people by character, not by words, not by the money they make, not by the position in society. Asleep idiots, men and women, fall fascinated by the allure of this superficiality, and we then have the chaos, the division, the dull minds in the world.
One needs to let go of trying to fit in and honor one’s group. Waking up to this is about seeing with the eyes of truth, because no real beauty and love can exist in people who cannot leave their egos and measure others by empathy, by character, by a greater human spirit. Life is simple, because it is about letting go of ego.
Letting go of ego is about detaching yourself from groups, from beliefs, from opinions. Letting go is about freedom. Freedom to become an individual. Not a republican. Not a democrat. Not a liberal. Not a Christian. Not a Buddhist. Not any other group which divides. Letting go is about being an individual who does not seek a fake identity by following and becoming part of a group.
