Slaves

None are exempt

We are, largely, a slave to outside forces in out lives. There is some consideration to our internal slavery - this is when we loose control over parts of us. I would argue that this is largely influenced by outside forces, which lead to inward submission to various coping mechanisms and behaviors. I cannot bridge the idea that we are subject and at the mercy of outside forces exclusively.. we still have some will - and participation in what we go through. We could say “No”, but often saying “Yes” feels much better.

The past, the things we have done, come up often. Largely, I would say people are trying to forget the past. To escape, and “get away” from things they have been subject to in the past. This can manifest across so many experiences and then outcomes. It becomes an excuse, to do or not to do what is presented next to us. I have experienced this, so that is what I need..

So we feel free, but we are conditioned to be slaved to the things that drive us / and have driven us. Instead of continuing to explore our consciousness, and the experience of life.. it is deferred.. we have so many other things to do.. errands, chores, work, etc. I have to do this and that.. it is expected of me!…

Some nonsense.

I recommend if you can, find time as often as possible to just do nothing. Put down your technology, set aside music, movies, media..

Just go touch grass, work on gardens, care to animals..

Go remember what it is to be human.. without being slaved to a beast system that we made..

Go outside, into nature - and remember who you are and what you are capable of.

Stop being a slave, and become a free soul. Remember who you were before all of this…
