"Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds."
Marley/Redemption Song
The Corporate Matrix destroys all memory and self-respect. In men it depletes all testosterone - lost somewhere along the Bataan death march through the never-ending vertical hierarchy. One day fades into the next undifferentiated week, month, year, decade. There are no salient occasions to mark time. The Borg demands conformity and achieves it at all costs. It shrink-wraps its people like it shrink-wraps its products. One corporatized drone is the same as the next. I've worked in the corporate matrix for 24 years, I have virtually no recollection of that entire time. I remember the years before that time, like they were yesterday. It took me 24 fucking wasted years to finally overcome my heavily brainwashed dopamine addiction and wander out of the desert. I've been robbed.
Truth is Freedom. Reality is Truth
Reality is the acceptance of who "we" are now and seeing things for how they are rather than how we want them to be. It's the unvarnished truth. In the age of fantasy now ending, pretending is expected. Striving to be something we're not, was de rigueur. Hollywood was the center of the Universe.
Comfort-seeking and Faux News is the denial of reality, hence mental imprisonment. In the days to come, accepting reality and truth in totality will be the key to survival. Anyone not capable of that basic yet uncommon capability will be at risk. Mental preparation is critical to surviving adversity.
Acceptance of truth and reality in the here and now is Zen. And Zen is happiness.
Steel yourself for the days ahead
All things fake will be obliterated. Less will be more.
Most importantly, enjoy the freedom.
