Day 104 - Can Love-Stories save the world? Brief review of 'Les Miserables' (2012)

burgermac / Foter.com / CC BY


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.

Day 25 - There is no path to follow, follow your Self Honesty


 You do not need to read any scriptures, walk the Eightfold buddhist path, become a hermit or a literate smart ass of any school in order to develop the right view of things. It is available in every breath, for everyone. Simply dare to face phenomena as they really are and do not form, color and interpret them within your mind. Face the human world, what we have created accepted and allowed as it is, stand as your Self and see. There is no need to copy exercises and follow any written steps. This can be done immediately by everyone. It takes courage, facing your fears and challenging your ideologies, but humans have the ability and the obligation to do so, if they want to be free, as Life, as themselves, as what they really are. Following any path, scripture or school simply means that you want to cloak yourself, you want to hide that you do not dare to stand for yourself, therefore you follow a herd that is walking nowhere but towards self righteousness self adulation, creating new shiny but illusionary ego costumes. You will not change that way, because you are still the mind, working concealed, hidden, forming startegies to manipulate you and all around you so that you will blind yourself, delude yourself into the belief that you were doing the right thing, because you feel good, feel better, feel stronger. But look at the world, even with all those masters, schools, religions, nothing ever changed the world for a better. It is all a failure, all scriptures, lectures, religious interpretations of words, without understanding the fact that they are actually killing them. That may be one reason why most of these so called 'masters' never took a note and never encouraged someone to write their words down. They simply spoke them, living words, they lived by their own words. And I am quite convinced that many of them said the same thing as I am saying [- how dare you, blasphemer! - ] Open your eyes, face the madness you are creating because you choose to walk through your life asleep, following dreams that will never be real, never be fulfilled, because they are not made of anything real! They are made of thoughts. You want to live in paradise? Accept your Self-Responsibility, wake up, live, change and create what you want to see out of yourSELF! 

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe following a spiritual path written down in any books, taught by Gurus would in fact lead me to self realization and change me and the world.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself not to realize that the only way to self realization must and can only depend on myslef, my self honesty and self responsibility.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself not to see that the attempt to follow any group of people like a sheep, to follow their rules, scriptures and rituals simply because they seem to have an attraction and value, means to hide from your self responsibility for Life and is an attempt to give away control so that you won't have to stand for your decisions and the consequences.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to create a system of believes and call that my personality and identify with it, creating polarizations and conflicts everywhere and whenever my personal world views, values, philosophies contradict with reality as it is, instead of realising that following personal philosophies is merely following personal interest, self righteousness and valuing comfort above any common sense and dignity of Life.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to become a robot, fed with a programm created by culture, family, society and accepted and allowed by myself to evaluate, to develop a static Idea about myself and my value within this system that I as a robot am functioning in.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to try to escape the system through meditation and following practices of buddhist schools, while at the same time I was creating separation within the mind and was in fact perpetuating the mechanics that keep the human enslavement system of the mind in separation alive.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to try to find a value of myself within the development of meditation skills, and did not realize that this was nothing else than the idea of our human systems of self interest, manipulation, individualism, consumerism within a spiritual context where you climb stairs of skillfulness and recieve the acknowledgement of those that admire your disciplin and the you fall for the same mindfuck that keeps the abusive, self destroing ideologies of human development through competition, which has obviously more than failed, alive.

I commit myself to expose self entrapment through the mind as the Ego wherever I am able to.

I commit myself to expose myself with every mindfuck that determined my life and lead to all kinds of destructive behaviour, harmful to myself, others and Life in general.

I commit myself within the awareness of the equal value and oneness of all life to deprogramm myself from all abusive ideas, spitefulness, manipulative behaviour that is following the aims of self interest created by culture and society, which nowadays means: by the industry.

I commit myself to writing on aregular basis to expose those ideas, thought concepts and ideologies that are not determined by myself as a living being, but by my personality structure, formed and created by a society/culture within an abusive, life threatening system of inequality and exploitation, following a self created god called Profit/Money to myself and others.

I commit myself to walk this process in Self Honesty and Self Responsibility until I stand as Life, one and equal, eternally, no matter what challenges may come.
