How often do you have an epiphany? How often do you see sit down in a quiet corner and just talk to your higher self? I write about this a lot because my epiphany today was just about that conversation I am having all the time.
There is madness out there, I call it terminal madness, terminal as in ending, but not ending of the world rather ending of our madness. We have gone mad because we are tired of searching and seeking something better. You see, it’s not about goals. This is the programming. We are taught that we must all have goals. Goals as in being born, getting educated, finding a job, starting a family (that’s old fashioned now), saving for retirement and then leaving a bit for the funeral. These are the goals they have programmed us into. Goals keep us busy, with ever harder reaching goals now because most people today need 2 or 3 jobs per family just to survive. The goals of achievement keep us in a state of robotics where we “have” to do this or that and by the time we are spent, exhausted, old and rickety (poisoned by drugs), we lay on our deathbed and if we are still lucky enough to have consciousness, we re-visit our lives and ask ourselves what the fuck did we actually accomplish in this lifetime?
Well, we may have accomplished those goals, but what did we achieve really? Goals don’t give us purpose. Goals just give us something to strive for, but more importantly, we never ask ourselves what our PURPOSE is here.
You ask any Christian what their purpose is here and I doubt they are going to tell you that we are here to find themselves. They will tell their purpose is to be good humans perhaps, to help each other and worship their god. Nice gesture, decent thoughts but so what after you have done all of that? On your deathbed, you might say: “Well, I had a good life. I worshiped god, I helped people, I brought up two children and now have 8 grandchildren, I even managed to save a bit for the grandkids to go to school”. Really?
