Labels or Consciousness

Published on 17 March 2024 at 15:35

The world's full of labels, and I don't really choose to give a label to anything. I think it's a load of old tosh. Who said you need to be called John or Jane? Who said it needs to be called a car or a plane? Who said that? Who decided? Why should I actually need to go along with that? I can make my own language up, can't I?

 

Yeah, of course I can. But why are we accepting the Matrix and all its constructs and all its beliefs? Like simpletons? Yeah, you might say. Well, that's needed because that's the only way we can create order in the society. Yeah, maybe so. But whose order? And how's that working for you so far in your life? Yeah. Did you sign up to pay tax? Did you? Or was it forced on you? Yeah, it's just forced on you, wasn't it? Everything else was forced on you, with how to behave, how to be a people pleaser so that you don't cheese off the authorities or your family or your so-called friends.

I mean, none of those stay around for too long, do they? Some do, but some don't. And even the ones that do, I bet you just tolerate them sometime, don't you? You'd rather not have anything to do with them, but you just can't bring yourself to detach from them. I know. Don't have to feel guilty about it. Nobody chooses where they were born, who they were born by. Doesn't mean that they're anything special in your life. What do they say? Love the one that you're with. Love the people that are in your life.

And if you can't, then get the hell out. Go somewhere else. Start again. Go solo dolo. Or hook up with someone else. Oh, don't like that word, hook up. Get together with someone else. But, yeah, full of labels, full of constructs, full of stuff that is kind of foisted onto us, and we didn't really ask for it.

Start making your own life. You are a creator. We're all creators. Don't do it for the wrong reasons. Don't do it just to be rebellious for the sake of being rebellious. No, do whatever you do. Create whatever you create in your life because you think that's what you want and need for your further advancement right now. That's what you want to do.

So let me ask you, are you aware? Are you aware of who you are, aware of what you want in life? Because only then can you create from a place of stability. Calmness, peace, love and tranquillity. Because if you know who you are, well, then you're going to know who you are not. And that's the place to start. Actually. Who are you not? Well, we've already decided, or I have in this conversation, that we're not all the labels that they give us. We're not the game that they gave us to play. No, we can make our own game.

I mean, so many people disappear, and they live far away from anyone or anything else. It's getting harder and harder to do. But I know a lot of people do it. I know one or two have done it. Nothing wrong in it. They're making their own social constructs, their own way of living. Why does it have to be in a big city, like an ant colony or something, all doing the same things every day, taking the same journeys, being in a prison called an office, albeit a more comfortable prison than a real prison punishment type of prison. But honestly, doing the same thing day in, day out feels like punishment for a lot of people, unless they really like what they're doing.

Not to say one should be grateful for being able to earn a living. There is that aspect. You could turn it on its head. So I'm not just sitting here whinging, I'm thankful at the same time I'm whinging in that I can see the imperfections of life, of the system that we live in. There should be more variety, more enjoyment, because just signing your life away for a day's pay is waste of a life, really, to do a repetitious task, but at the same time look around the world and some people would bite your hand off to be in the same position as you and go and do a repetitive job in a warm, comfortable office and get paid for it. So I can see both sides of it. But ultimately I. I don't think anyone else should be telling you what that is going to be, what your life is going to be, how you do it, or even make the system for you, make all the labels, all the norms for you.

You've got just as much as right to be making the system as the government does. Why do you have to be the recipient? The servant subjugated, told what to do, talked down to, often abused, mentally, physically, spiritually, financially. There should be an opt-out, like a marketing opt out, where I don't want phone calls, I don't want emails, I don't want this or that. Well, you should have a life opt out, and you can opt out of the shall we call it? The city system that we all live in. In big cities, you all do the same things. Well, we should be able to opt out of the city system and bugger off somewhere else if we want, and make our own independent system. You are now entering the county of inner d. These are the rules.

Abide or don't even bother coming in. I say you should run your life, make your own rules, make your own boundaries. If people, others want to come in your life, they have to abide by your boundaries. If they don't, then they don't even come in. You don't even let them in. You don't have to have a screaming match or shouting match. Just don't let them in. Say no, thanks, it's nice to see you, but I think we've taken it as far as we can.

So good luck on your travels. I'll keep an eye out for you. Hope you're doing well, and see you later. Alligator is an illusion. All these things that we give labels to, just an illusion, just a three-dimensional illusion. The mind says, there is the house, there is the car, there is the park, there is the dog and the cat running around. There is time, there is distance. You all an illusion.

Not real, impermanent. Here today, gone tomorrow. But you've got to be aware of who you really are. Your consciousness. Consciousness, awareness, call it what you want, but you got to be aware, got to be conscious that in fact, you're not the body, you're not the mind, you're not the car, you're not the tree. These are just labels, these are just you. It all part of the same thing you could think of. Consciousness, energy, awareness.

The same as the air that keeps us breathing and keeps us alive. But that air permeates everything, our bodies, human bodies, the plants, the trees, the animals, everything. That's who we really are. Almost like the air, if you want to say the air. I mean, it's technically, probably not correct to say that consciousness is the air, but you get the point. It helps to get the point across that the air is everywhere. It's what keeps us all alive. And that's who we are.

Just having an experience as a physical, in a physical body called a human being. Human being, not human doing human being. So don't identify with your doings. You're not a walker, you're not a singer, you're not a talker, you're not a carpenter, you're not a football player. It's just something you do. So don't identify who you are with what you are doing. You are consciousness, awareness, stillness, bliss, silence. Not what the physical body is doing when you come from that place of awareness, that place of detachment.

So you're not attaching or identifying with what you're doing, then you can do it as much as you want. Whatever you're doing is do it as much as you want. But you know you are not it. You're not attached to it. If it's not there tomorrow, the opportunity to do X-Y-Z is not there tomorrow doesn't matter because you're still home. You're still the space, the air, the breath, the energy, the awareness of all around you that keeps this human body, in your case, alive, that keeps the animal alive, that keeps the flowers alive, but not permanently. And it's not permanent for the animals, it's not permanent for us humans. We're just part of a cycle.

And if we're aware of that, we can live a better life knowing it's not permanent. So what do they say? Sometimes live your life like today is your last day, because it may well be. So take a few minutes to plan what you want to do in your day. Make sure it's as enjoyable as possible. Even if you're going to go and work in the repetitive day Job, find ways to enjoy yourself there. Tell a few bad jokes. That's what I do. More than once or twice, I should say, but do that, make it enjoyable.

Hopefully they'll like your jokes as well. Not sure about that, though. The man, the woman, the dog, the cat. No, look at the space in between them, the energy that's keeping everyone and everything alive. It's all the same for everyone. We all breathe the air, we all breathe the space. That's what keeps us going. That's the energy, that's the life force, that's who we are.

That's who you are. So we're all the same. We're all running on the same electricity grid. If you like the air, think of it as an electricity grid that keeps all the objects alive, people, plants, trees, animals, et cetera. So look at the space. If you're looking at the space instead of what some idiot's doing, then you're not going to be attached to what the idiot's doing. You're going to be looking at the space instead. So you're going to be calmer.

You're not going to worry about what people are doing. You're not going to be reacting all the time. You're just going to be going, oh, well, look at that bozo. Reacting like an idiot getting into a fight where you're just going to be looking at the space and saying, it's all good here. So that's it for today. Two man in a d. You already know it ain't about me. This is so you can find your own inner d.

Check me out innerd.uk, Peace.  So you are the space, and the space is you. You are everything. Everything is you. You are the awareness and everything's awareness. Your consciousness.

Consciousness is you. And that's it. That's being who you are.
