The Reality of the World

Wake up, human.

Look closely.

The world is not the way you see it on the screen.

Your emotions are being exploited.

You want peace, they give you war. You want war, they give you a feeling to fight for. You want bread, they give you debt.

Are you looking for well-being in the world, human being? Do you think forcing us to be the same will bring well-being? Do you think Big Brother will treat us kindly if we give him more power?

No, we are not the same. No, justice does not exist. No, whoever asks you to fight for it will not defend you.

Look, human.

Your life is in your hands. Never stain them with blood.

Come back to yourself.

Ignore the command of the one who herds you. Ignore his opposite whispers too.

Hatred and rage are signs of pain. And pain exists to be felt, not to push the world toward its end.

Do you have values, human? Look at them. You will see that moralism and resentment are not part of them.

The first is to defend your life and the lives of your fellow beings at every stage of their growth. The first is to love whatever it is you are, without patches, without social masks, without fighting.

Living together is the second. It rests on your soul's hunger for harmony. That is why you do not fight: so you can look into your neighbor's eyes when you voice your pain, and pause, holding their gaze, to listen to theirs.

The third is, of course, to be free. Human well-being lies in surrendering to the blessing of one's own, unique heart.

These are values intrinsic to your human nature. You can smother them in ideologies that promise happiness, but you will only drift further from it. You can voice your pain, but you will only end up distracted from it, lost in the atmosphere you dreamed up.

Come back. Life is what your hands do, what your sensitivity creates, what your soul observes.

Life is you, human being. And whatever of your heart you give to it.

Stop building that tower of Babel now. Heights are not heaven. Heaven is within you, here in your mother Reality.

You don't need to follow the herd, and you don't need to oppose it. The black sheep is still a sheep. Just forget the confusion that comes from being far from yourself. And call yourself, and then wait for yourself.

And then do nothing, because you already are what you are, the perfection of an eternal and magnificent Universe.

It is not reality that drags you into fighting for it; it was by forgetting yourself that you started chasing dreams.

Reality has one unmistakable quality: it is a radiant bundle of blessings. It is bearing witness to what no one but you can vouch for, and yet, before you even draw a breath, it is undeniable and self-sustaining.

The reality is that you are at the center of everything, and if there is anything above you, it is because you are expressing the archetype that, inside your dream, you consider to be above you.

You are still at the center.

Look, human being.

You are already free, you are already alive.

No matter the story of your life, you already exist.
