Insecurity.
It drives us to do and be many things we would never admit.
We wear clothes most of the time. We are ashamed, or shamed from our very bodies. We make them forbidden, and that makes them obscene. We make the body bad, empowering the negative attachment to it. We may see photo’s of tribes that wore nothing or near nothing. We think they might have had some innocence we do not, but we go on to think of them as primitive. We are forbidden to wear our birthday suits to the office or the board meeting, with all the others perhaps wearing their monkey suits.
We come to be disembodied heads, which is strangely appropriate for a definition of humankind, modern humankind. We are equally as blind about equality. We want every right to every thing, we want this right to be fair, but we do not usually think twice about having advantage over someone else for our “advanced” lifestyles. We do not think twice about having a car, or that if 4 billion people drove our kind of car we may well all be dead.
We are disembodied dumbed down heads. Our heads and our hands are often the only things showing. They are the two things we seem to use, with the rest of our bodies being their props. Most of us will never imagine the image of us in our bathrooms on the toilet. Most of us would never imagine that of our fellows at the board meeting sit there just like us in the bathroom. Our lives are constructed around varying degrees of cognitive dissonance.
We are sequestered from our own biology, our own chemical dance. Even sex is often conceived of as a violation of some kind, which we then get or take by certain seductive behaviors. We would rather not think of it at all, at least some try not to. As puritans forbid its expression they empowered the opposite. This is the nature of conservatism, of hiding. By resisting a perceived evil, evil is made manifest in consciousness. Its resistance becomes both subjugation and persecution of the self and society.
Many of us have no idea how we empower evil for the opposite reasons. We do not understand the power of unconditional love, nor of goods ever-present superiority over bad. We do not understand the interactive dynamics of creation. If we do not communicate our resistances, our frustrations at being, we are dominated by them. Others will seek to mystify and codify these disturbances into dysfunctional oppressive platforms. These go on to assume the rolls of answer, when they are in any ways the source of the problem itself. These form hierarchies of power and so to the rights to the world of getting. It is seduction made into a system, even a system called achievement or progress. Getting ahead. A disembodied head.
But disembodied heads are about their plans and schemes unattached, they think, to the real world of unavoidable consequence of cause and effect. Many operate on faith and belief that is actually existentially contrived. Varying programs vying to be booted up into the brain. Then assumed to be intrinsic as hardware, as the truth of reality and being itself. When in fact these are differing systems of thought organization designed to make sense and assuage the insecurity endemic to our imaginary lifestyles.
Robot homosapien sapiens, go on their merry or not ways. Sure on the surface of consciousness of what they are to do next; what to pursue, what to attain, and what to try to keep to keep the insecurity away. These make sense in their own way. They produce a logical dialectic to the beliefs of cause and effect, but they are not the real, the true thing.
That my friend, is completely up to you to see. Not me to tell you.
