Brainwash, Rinse and Repeat

Uh-oh!!!

Disclaimer:  This piece describes the “average” American.

DO, OR DO NOT, TAKE IT PERSONALLY!

If you’re the average American, you were born into a hand-me-down world.  Everything you were taught was regurgitated information – beliefs, ideas and expectations from the previous generation, who learned it from the previous generation, ad infinitum.......

For 13 years, the school system’s main objective was to turn you into a competitive, robotic monkey.  Advertisers trained you to buy products.  Religions, perverted by men, were crammed into your head.  Systems of government and laws, which you never agreed to, were forced upon you.  When it was time to leave school, you were pressured, out of guilt and fear, to go to college or join the work “force”.

Hey, that’s the way of the world,

no time to stop and think about it!

Unless, you’re one of those modern rebels, who stay at home smoking pot and playing video games all day (insert sarcasm) you’ve fallen into the routine of the good consumer.

Wake up,

clock in,

work,

clock out,

go home,

eat dinner,

watch TV,

go to sleep.

Only when you’ve fallen totally asleep,

do you have the American dream!

Your head has been programmed with a lifetime of bullshit!

Pick a side – democrat or republican.  Now defend the puppet on the left, or the puppet on the right, like it’s your favorite football team.  A great majority of the history you’ve been taught are flat out lies (The victors write the history books.)  Unless, you’re out there exploring the four corners of the globe (an oxymoron) you don’t know what’s really going on outside your country’s borders, beyond what tightly controlled media outlets feed you.  Although, I guess you’re up to snuff as to what happens when politicians close those big mahogany doors, right?  If you’re not making a conscious effort, even your human relationships are patterns, based on stereotypes and past experiences.

All this, yet, you’ve formed opinions on everything – even on topics you know extremely little about!  How can anyone truly claim to know anything with decades of white noise and static in the brain?

My point is, that unless you’ve taken steps to clear house, I mean really let go of the mental slavery you’ve been under, since birth, please don’t force your run-of-the-mill, regurgitated opinions on others.  Why do you think “kill the zombies” movies have been so hot, recently?  It’s a subconscious metaphor of the collective unconscious.  Although, I could be wrong (I never went to college.)

Yeah, yeah.....I write a lot about how what one focuses attention upon becomes a greater force in personal reality.  I guess I still have some residue that needs scraping from inside my skull.

This piece was inspired by my cousin.

To paraphrase Ram Dass:

If you think you’re enlightened,

go visit your family for the holidays.

My diet, long hair and attire don’t make me a hippie.
My thoughts and feelings do!

The Stream of Life

This blog gets an "E" for effortless!

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.  -Jesus

I can see why many cultures of old revered the Sun as their God.  The plants of Earth reach for this solar being without any thought.  With an effortless impetus, they grow in splendor.  It is the same with us.  Find that true desire, that blazing Sun in your personal sky, and grow toward it.

The way toward the Sun can grow cloudy.  The rain may deluge your “plans” for 40 days and 40 nights.  If your ark is strong, you will one day arrive in a new world.  The rain is there to wet your passion, to feed all you’ve planted.

Go with the ever-flowing current of Life’s moving stream.  Only when we hold on to the rocks or fight the “current” moment does the stream beat us up.

Yes, your parents, your teachers and your peers have taught you that fighting the stream is noble and will win you accolades.  “How much stress can you handle?”  Worry, fear, doubt, guilt and such are jagged rocks in the stream.  Let go!

Everything you desire is downstream! 

The lily does not struggle to be an oak tree, because other lilies said so.  If it did, surely this struggle would deprive the lily of the energy it needs to blossom.

Spring is the season of new beginnings, and the rain surely comes.  Summer is the season of growth, when the world reaches for the Sun.  In autumn, the rewards are harvested.  In winter, there is rest.

Spring is upon us.  The rains of spring will surely feed the stream.  Ride the current.  When the water is calm, it will signal you to row.  Rapids will ensue.  Waterfalls will take you to new levels.  The sights will amaze you!  Eventually.....

The stream will lead you to the ocean!

Enviro-Mental

 Going green, seeing red!

For the past few years, there’s been a barrel full of hubbub about the irreversible damage humankind is doing to our fair sister – Earth.  The old adage use to be that if you want to keep your friends, don’t talk religion or politics.  I believe it’s safe to say that we can add “the environment” to that list!  Well, take a deep breath of your air of choice, because in the words of Bob Marley:

Every little thing.....is gonna be alright.

In the late 90’s / early 2000’s, I was still in my idealistic twenties.  My very close friend, and poet supreme, Bret Duncan and I would perform spoken word at coffee shops and events, throughout the Cincinnati area.  I was full force, hell-bent on changing the world, one mind at a time.

Punk Skot

Torrents of cleverly crafted outrage would blast forth in sardonic measure, as I thumbed my nose at the bastard, offspring culture created by the establishment.  I felt, or rather thought, I was educating the masses on the horrors of slave labor camps, the meat and dairy industry, and other such evils.  My favorite sewage to sling involved pointing out that humans had become robotic, self-serving drones.  My blood boiled at the blasé, nonchalant way in which those around me viewed the atrocities of the world.  “As long as it’s not in my backyard!” seemed the prevailing mindset.

Then it happened.  I was in the woods enjoying a Rainbow Gathering (a hippy happening).  I was going off on some random corporation with environmental angst.  A guy, not much older than myself, tried to make me see the redundancies of fighting “the wrongs of the world” with massive amounts of negative energy and focus.  I was using my breath to blow out a huge fire.  This was merely feeding the flames.  I didn’t get it.  I was convinced that if I enlightened enough people, we could all blow out the fire at once.

A decade later, I get it.  Ironically, now that it’s in their own backyards, I see so many people with the intense opposition to the system that I wanted to see ten years ago.  Bret and I can still have a good chuckle about this.

As I near the forty year-old marker, it’s not that I’ve settled down.  It’s simply that I’ve turned off our cultural distractions long enough to give meditative contemplation to the forces that create personal reality.  I’ve thus far surmised that the energy we put out, via our focus of attention, shapes our lives, even on a physical, global scale.

A child will tell you that what you feed grows bigger.  Whatever it is that you want to grow bigger – feed that!  Whatever your vision of paradise on Earth, start to acknowledge it in little pieces.  Springtime is nearly upon us.  Hear the birdsongs in the morning.  Notice the variety of colored tulips.

This is not turning a blind eye toward the harsh realities of a bleak future.  This is opening our eyes to the perfection of moments that lead, one after another, through the gates of infinity!  If that sounds too mystical and flakey for you, how about:

Turn your attention toward solutions, not problems!

There, there, you’re safely back on Earth.  Now, take a deep breath of crisp, clean, fresh air, because every little thing.....is gonna be alright!

Thanks, Bret.
Thanks, hippy guy.
Thanks, Bob Marley.
Thanks, tulips!
