At the beginning of this experiment/experience around the world (well mostly just around Asia…) I was fascinated by discovering different cultures and traditions. An innate curiosity that’s probably one of the reasons why people of all time become travelers or explorers.
Seeing the differences, seeing how people manage to survive each day on the other side of the world, hanging out with men and women with such different backgrounds and listen to their life stories full of pains-joys-hopes, eating their foods, trying to understand their points of view, observing their existences in big cities or in small remote villages: it was and it’s still an amazing experience.
But the more I’m traveling the more I started to realize that cultures, traditions, religions, systems represent just horrible limitations for humans. Those are manipulations, mere manipulative ways to keep us all comfortably conformed, automatically following schemes and when we follow we are just totally deprived of our lives, becoming just puppets that obey to some automatisms.
We react based on what the family, the friends, the teachers, the so-called “spiritual leaders”, the governments, the so-called “holy books”, rules, laws, fashions, trends, the totally corrupted media, the movies, the advertisement taught and told and showed us. This is not freedom, it’s an unaware reaction that we don’t control, just an automatic response to a new experience based on an old program.
The problem is that we believed them, we didn’t have any other choices because we were born plugged into this, giving away all our energy to the system, brainwashed till the core, because we trusted, just because we trusted.
It’s not something that has started today, we can’t say “yesterday was better” because this is really old shit, thousands of years of lies that we’re desperately defending, who totally kept our souls entrapped into schemes that are not ours, that feed our egos and our plastic consumeristic existences just focus on the superficial and limited world we can distortedly perceive, channeled our spirits into plastic prisons, fake illusory existences we all call “my life”. Our past took our energy and pushed and keeping us down to a really low level of being based just on survivalism.
We have the chance of becoming gods and goddesses who could create a beautiful world and civilization but all this has been taken away from us by religions, traditions, governments, cultures, systems…creating a dystopic planet/society where defective, malfunctioning clouded humans just think of surviving.
We were not born as Italians, Germans, Americans, Chinese, Nigerians, Brasilians, Taiwanese…but they made us like that, since the first day we were on this planet, they made us believe that we are one of them and we have to be proud of being part of it. Proud of what? And why? You need something external to define yourself? Why? I prefer fighting for the freedom of being myself than being a mere product of a culture.
Getting free from prepackaged schemes, finding your own ways and your own answers without following anyone or any external authority will make us like gods and goddesses ready to live and create a sane society and not just slaves of our cultures and traditions.
