The superior
people who conceived of the world as you presently know it
must have come to despise uncertainty in any form at the same moment
they conceived of superior people. Importantly, though, the real
world, made before man was present on Earth to conceive of anything
at all, is absolutely uncertain. That makes for a difficulty.
You are living, or trying to, in a world created by the conniving
minds of persons who argue against truth. What is that like? What
chance do they have of bringing you home safely? Why do you even
consider following?
Life is not
difficult for those who understand uncertainty. It is understood by
the human heart through music, dance, love, kindness, generosity and
all else that stirs up passion. To make things even better when it
seemed nothing else could, there is a certain peace in absolute
uncertainty that surpasses all understanding. Certainty is a drag. Be
like a child. It should come as no surprise that the folks who
understand and embrace uncertainty make no attempt to live in the
world made by the dissenters. The dissenters made up a world based
upon a theory of gambling which they sold to you as a certain thing.
With gambling come its rules. The house writes the rules, of course.
With rules comes a strange, cold certainty all right. There will be
winners and there will be many more losers.
Here's a game.
Think of a serious problem, any problem. Now, state it clearly.
Okay, imagine you hear an answer to be: So what? Play along and
explain how important the problem is, in your mind anyway. Imagine
the same answer: So what? Keep this up. Before long, you will begin
to lose your concentration on the seriousness of the problem and
become more involved in the process. You will find yourself wondering
just how far this can be taken. Then, suddenly, it will no longer
matter to you at all. Problem solved in a peculiar manner.
Uncertainty dominates the landscape, your paradigm shifts, and the
mind is robbed of its imagined need for certainty. Nothing has
changed really, and yet, you are probably laughing.
In the West, the
following statements of certainty are memorized by everybody who goes
to school:
1. You are going to
have to have a job when you grow up.
2. You have to have
money to enjoy life.
3. You have to pay
bills.
4. You have to get
married to have children.
5. You have to
either have a mortgage or lease from someone who does in order to
live in a nice house with your family.
6. To enjoy the
earth's bounty, you have to have purchasing power.
7. You have to have
a country in order to live on land where it is claimed that a symbol
you are supposed to love reigns as sovereign authority.
8. You owe a debt to
those who have died fighting in a war to keep that imaginary
country's incomprehensible sovereign power intact.
Is there any
sovereign save one whose name is Love For All? None of these, not
one, are remotely true in the eyes of a child. They see a big hole in
each one. They are likely to grin and say something that sounds crazy
to you, like, I can just change into a boat and float. Or, I can
change into a rocket and go to the stars. They find it easy to escape your
learned stupidity. They just pretend along with you. Why not? They
probably believe you are kidding until the day you lower the boom on
them and inform them the listed certainties are more real to you than
a hug and a kiss and eternal bliss. And cruelty will abound at home.
The cat's out of its bag at last. The family secret is: we are
monsters and must kill people in this world in order to maintain our
self images. That. Is. All. War. Has. Ever. Been. About.
And the last to be
seen that the enemy is us on that same day when is seen the last day
of war.
