First of all, 'Les Miserables' is an
amazing piece of art, I would not question that. But what it really
shows to us, or what it should slam into our faces and in my case it
did while I was watching it, is that despite of the abuse and pain
and sorrow, despite all that ignorance and exploitation, the misery
created by man and inflicted on man, nothing has ever really changed.
'This is the music of the people who
will not be slaves again', and look where we are now. We are the
very same slaves that we have always been, enslaved by our own
accepted and self created systems, controled, drugged and violated by
it's ruthless regulations. We enslave millions of people for banal
purposes, luxury, comfort, prestige. We are primitive, dumb, ignorant
and we spit in the face of Life all day.
Why has nothing ever changed? Because
we never tackled the root cause of all human problems: the delusional
mind, the self identification as the mind and only the mind, in
separation in an artificial, virtual reality of thoughts, as if life
was a fairytale. This is why 'love' corrupts all plans in those
plays, this is why anger and hate overcomes all common sense. This is
why never ever in history one single revolution brought any change
for human beings and all Life towards real freedom.
The Lovestory is a substitute to avoid
the glance at the real issues, the causes of these problems as abuse,
exploitation, hatred and inequality. We have made monsters out of
ourselves because we trust our minds, we sold ourselves as Life to
the promises of the mind which will never be fulfilled, simply
because they are not real. The purpose is to keep us striving in the
wrong direction while the answer is in direct reach, for each of us.
Giving up the illusion of Self as the mind and Ego, starting to live
as the body, becoming one and equal with and as all Life. This
is what the longing is about, this is what Love stands for and what
finally renders the 'Love-Story' redundant.
When I watch the play I do not see
those characters as individuals, I do not see the story as a person's
fate, I see them as representations for each and every single being
that suffers and dies because of inequality, ignorance, violence,
hate and fear. I see the final consolidation of lovers and the
journey to their junction as the journey to Life that each and every
one has to walk, a process of clarification, a process of
understanding oneself to become self-directed and self-responsible,
no longer driven by outside forces, by programms and belief systems,
but determined by principles of Life itself, decisions made in
awareness breath by breath, one and equal with all Life.
