Prison of the Mind
One of the most important principles of prepping is independence, most assume this just applies to necessities. Food, water and power are all physical aspects but the most important is mental.
Mind Prison
Everyone has been conditioned to believe in limitations, this can be healthy although many are artificial. We are all conditioned to have limited beliefs, most of which are artificial and harmful. Our world is focused on illusion, for example branded clothes – at the end of the day a shirt is just that.
In order to break free you must realise that almost everything said is a manipulation by someone else for profit. There is no escaping this fact, every interaction between humans contains manipulation.
The Journey
Over time I have realised that the only person I need to be accountable to is myself. This took time as I had to rethink all the propaganda I absorbed over my lifetime. We are all told to “play by the rules” while those who break them benefit. When you challenge those world views you are met with platitudes and dumb beliefs like ‘Karma’.
Realising that all these things are bullshit is a difficult pill to swallow, but afterwards you are free from the matrix. Survivalism is a path of freedom that allows you to fulfil your own potential without false illusions.
Challenging beliefs was hard at first but as you get older you realise the stupidity in society is toxic and sucks people in. This is particularly true for young people who seem to exist to be exploited with unneeded educational debt and as foot soldiers in political movements.
Conclusion
I hope this has inspired you to rethink your own belief system and whether it is benefiting you. I am back after a break and will be posting more content for you all.
Survive and Thrive!
