Rediscover your Self

in philosophy •  7 years ago  (edited)

We are sold empty sacraments
and wonder why we feel empty.
We could blame the salesman,
But he is merely a symptom.
It is we who have lost our ability to discern;
Falsehood from Truth,
Right from Wrong,
Medicine from medication.

We buy "truths" based on perceived needs
Without knowing who it is that is needing.
Don't blame the social engineers
For creating the false image of you.
It is we who have bought their story,
Accepted fabrication,
Who rationalise our actions
and abdicate Selfhood.

Find out who you Truly Are
and be gifted the treasure of treasures.
Become full through inquiry...
What is it that watches?

Thanks mate. I've been bogged down with all the external aspects of control for some time now, but it's only recently that I've realised that, whilst important to understand the nature of our slavery, far more important is the way in which we enslave ourselves. In what ways am I toxic to this world? What aspects of my shadow-self do I avoid and therefore perpetuate? Transmutation of this shadow is the key to changing our reality and it can only be done on an individual basis. Fare well wherever you may fare, brother
