Taken the red pill and staring into the abyss on my own

in matrix •  6 years ago  (edited)

Not a single god, demon, Absolute, devil, or the Universe itself will do for you what you have to achieve on your own. On this journey, in this battle every one of us has to find his own intent to make one more step, one more breath, one more act, no matter how small or how unbearable it may seem. 

It happens that sometimes a true warrior in this battle for his true self, his inner essence and his purity will take responsibility for others as much as he or she can take... and sometimes even more than that. Not many people want to do that because when we start facing the reality of what exists outside of the System, it becomes extremely hard and painful to be responsible even for one's own body, soul, and life. 

What is that "outside of the system" that I am talking about? 

No, it's not a metaphor or a philosophical thing. It's real. 

It's a place where things we all know and find comforting simply do not exist. Even your heartbeat won't work the same there, even the body itself. It's where your hormones won't work the same way. There is no dopamine or serotonin to give you a boost and desire to keep living... and no cortisol to make you feel bad. It's NOTHING. It's a place that lacks things that can make one safe or happy, or truly angry, or enthusiastic, or anything. There are no known ways of communication with other people, no such thing as a "comfort zone", no hopes for the future, no prayers, no social interactions, no closeness to another human being, no punishments, no rewards... Usual, common elements of human existence simply AREN'T THERE, so life itself suddenly stops making sense. The only thing you "want" to do is lie down, close your eyes, and never get up again. 

But that's the thing - that's exactly when you HAVE TO get up. That's the point where you have to find other ways to live and understand life, other ways to think, to feel, to keep moving. These ways are not "human" as we understand the word. 

I am no longer surprised that none of us wants to go anywhere near that point. We all want to go only up to that borderline where our world is still held together as an enormous conglomeration of illusions we all refuse to let go. 

On my life-path I haven't met a single person who was able to cross that borderline - except for my teacher who has shown me once just how scary and hopeless it is. As you are probably guessing, there was nothing humane about it - but at the same time, it was the only humane thing to do to someone who you care about. "Care" not in a sentimental, emotional way... "care" as in "I want you to see because I need living, breathing people who will know the truth and act in accordance with it to change this world." 

It's the RED PILL. 

This experience was very important and absolutely necessary, but I still don't know what has to be done with it. I am afraid that most of us really aren't ready to face what's out there (right here, actually, it's all RIGHT HERE space-wise) while all the other "truths" given to us by various philosophical and spiritual teachings will always be limited and Systematic. 

I think this realization should make every human being horrified. Once he or she faces it, that human must enthusiastically run and seek that unknown which is hidden. But it always happens that human beings run AWAY from the truth, and not towards it. They run away from the unknown and overwhelming horrors of the void and the undescribed. 

This is the most elaborate trap for the creature called "human." 

It has been created to make sure that seemingly living people remain unborn into this world.

I like your words, becouse i wish to see them in my language. But i understand to much, for use the translator more. :-) Just in a few moments, i need the savety from him, to be sure i understand what you say.
There is nothing to say often for me, if i read your text. Sometimes i think a little bit, you are sad. But i can not say this sure. You spoke about a old story and a lot people know this just in thair heart. No longer in thair Spirit/Inner.
They life in the "hard" World. Like i too. ;-) But not everytime, i like this world. Sometimes i make my walks, for get new energy... You know, i am sure... The question is, why we go here and there? I know why i am here. Did you know it for you too???

Yes, I am sad sometimes, but it’s unimportant - the same as when I am happy.

I realize that even happiness in our world is a product or illusions or hormones (or both). When we go beyond our brain illusions and our body chemistry, things change. We face the unknown there, and ideas of “sadness” and “joy” are both tested.

I thought that I knew why I was here. But now I know less than before ). I have seen some really disturbing things. I may start writing about them later. I don’t know yet if I can... or should... actually try to describe them.
