Hi Steem ! My name is Rey and his steem will be my humble attempt to make people understand through my own perspective what i think is really is important in life .
Though i'm not a writer or a native english speaker i will try my best to touch different subjects about life,philosophy,psychology,science,conspiracy,spirituality and connect the dots using a deeply philosophical approach . I truly think the philosophical approach will save humanity from the mass madness and hysteria it is experienceíng , because only through understanding we will find freedom and finally break the shackles that dehumanise us .
Yes...I am a dreamer and visionary now :) , but it wasn't always like that .
I will play the character of the Joker in this story . I want to talk about the transformation from the egocentric all-knowing joker to a average human being who realised that he knows nothing about anything but now loves and respects that fact and the world .
But now a question raises : What turns a lion to a lamb ,the lead to gold , the “high-school boy” to jihadist , the “wall street guy” to priesthood or vice versa ? What make us consider things more/less important than other things and what phenomena is responsible for these radical changes ?
First i feel like i need to give you a glimpse of my own psyche so you can better understand what i am talking about.
Let's start by describing the joker .
This “Joker” was born in a developing country in eastern Europe called Albania .The reason i’m telling you this is because i want to “teleport” you into the reality this part of me was shaped in .
Albania is a beautiful country with beautiful landscapes and beaches but sadly the people in it lack the authenticity to shape their own reality so they copy/paste from previous models. The reason for that is because the country suffered a mass dehumanizing stripped of all emotion and religion from 50 years of communism . People were told what to feel , what to believe ,what to wear , what to see in television (only albanian communism propaganda all day long , no other channels , only one) . They were forbidden to listen to foreign songs , they were forbidden to believe in god , they were also forbidden to express themselves by wearing different clothes(everybody had the same clothes as everybody else) and they could never go outside of Albania . The dictator said that he wanted to create the New Man as the Elite Globalists do today but they take a different approach(this will be a topic for another post though).He wanted to create the kind of man who puts his brother or sister to prison for speaking against the party, the kind of man who does not have passion but has tasks to complete , the machine , the drone , the robot producer of stuff , the blind soulless follower who is not able of critical thinking .
So to make a point that was the reality of the people of that era . That was their weather and their little box and they could not fathom that the sun shines upon other boxes too . But i was not born when it happened and now Albania has democracy .This happened 27 years ago but still played a role in my “construction” you might say.
Though something happened before i was born, yet it tainted the air . This unknowingly agreed upon mentality morphing into a black cloud blinded the sun from shining upon the box , and yes the box was still there . I was part of that box unable to see through .
Thus the joker was born , the chameleon , the defense mechanism hiding under the rock of its own arrogance , thinking he was separate from his surroundings and history . He was the ever morphing cloud ,morphing and adapting to everyone's and everything’s expectations but never to himself .He had many roles and all were shaped by the society and the agreed upon mentality yet everybody was acting the same way so it was normal .The joker was the product of the society induced beliefs, the fake self and yet i was identifying with it . This must be me , what else is there . (In the psychology circles the one i'm calling the joker they call the ego).
However everything changed when i moved to France 7 years ago . It was not France who made this change though , it was the changing of the box .
The fact that i moved to another reality made me think . In France they had different culture , different way of thinking , different “masks” . They had their own box , similar but yet different somehow from my agreed upon reality so i found myself a alien .
It made me realize the one i called myself was the product of the environment and the society i was raised in because in different places in the world like France these “roles” were not the same . It made me question things … I cannot be this role , this role was copy/pasted from others . It was dictated to me by society and i was accepting it without question .
The jihadi guy who blows himself , he is the blank-slate baby who was shaped and brainwashed into this character by his surroundings and yet he thinks that is him . His joker is blind to see there could be other perspectives out there , other little boxes and each of those glimpses of illusion think they are right and know the absolute truth . He is so blind to see that the one he calls himself and give so much importance to was the product of the environment he was build from . If he would be born in another country or family he would be totally different .
So if you make the connection the thing that makes all these drastic changes possible is that we chose to identify with these roles and is very easy to switch from one role to another if you think that way .
From a much broader perspective these social constructs don't even matter because now you are the one observing the joker . On a quantum level if you look into it everything seems to be potential energy waiting to be defined . There are no definitions , no forms , anything can be everything else all in the same time . Everything that exist derives from this field .
It's so easy to forget that we live in a planet , the planet lives in the solar system , the solar system lives in the milky way and so on . There are black holes and fireballs and magical clusters of stars and all is happening right now , but we ignore that and go on with our lives because it seems separate from us somehow .
So when you tear down all these social constructs and roles , all the suffering that comes with it disappears and the thing that remains is that source field , the potential energy . Suddenly you realise that you are the same thing that you always were . You are the fundamental energy that makes everything possible , you , the stars, the animals the trees and the black holes . From this point of view you see everything else around as yourself and all separation becomes an illusion . Thus the lead turns to gold .
Now you might ask yourself , would war exist if you see everything else as yourself . I mean , would you want to make war with yourself ? Would poverty exist if you feed yourself ?
So my real question now is : Can we make the world a better place if everyone comes from this same mindset ? Can we make the transition from the soulless human drone to the soul in human form ? I believe we can :)
