The Rat Race

If you haven't read the previous three articles, I strongly recommend you do, because this article builds on them.

 Let me say something else before we go on.

If I had the opportunity placed before me right now to make this knowledge available to millions of people, I would not be as happy as making it available to only a few. Why do I say that?  Well, it would be useless to millions of people.  For a number of different reasons. Most, if not nearly all people are asleep.  Alive, yes, awake, definitely no.

Add to that, only a small minority are open to anything that is not in line what they have been taught or exposed to at school, home, TV (and other forms of media) or what is socially normal. Some people may retort to this and say Why not just make it available to as many people as possible and let them do what they want with it? Like I said,  even if I could do that, this information would be useless to most of them.

There is a hard way and an easy way to learn. Most, whether by choice or default, prefer the hard way.  Well, we are an evolving species after all and some day we will get it. Hold it right there.  Now, we come to the heart and essence of it. 

Before we go on, I want to make one thing very clear.  I am not here discussing evolution or religion or any such thing.  When and if I use words like 'evolving', 'intelligent', 'simple',  'complex'  'design', I am not discussing evolution, religion or anything of the sort.

The reason humanity has been caught up in a treadmill existence as I alluded to in one of my previous posts is because there are two primary beliefs humans live by whether it is admitted or not.  One is we are an evolving species or the other belief is that there is some mystical supernatural being/s, and included in that is either a personal God or some Universal Consciousness or Mind that is directing our evolution.

I don't know about you, but I can't wait another hundred million or four hundred million years before we get this shit right.  And I'm certainly not waiting for some 'I'm better than anything else' Being to zap humankind into a better existence.  Good luck with that one.


Is there better.  Definitely!.  What an insult to the human race to think that it is only in our recent generations or our recent past that we are starting to smarten up.  Or to believe that we are the 'it' generation who finally discovered the scientific, medical or whatever other secrets that our knucklehead human ancestors couldn't.

Of course, all 'they' were capable of was mumbling and grumbling, hunting, killing and rootin' and tootin'.  No wonder then, that all we 'modern', humans today are capable of is more of mumbling and grumbling, hunting, killing and rootin' and tootin'.  God, that's an insult to evolution or any intelligent design theory.  What a preoccupation for our wonderful human race!

In one of the previous articles, it was alluded that we are not just living through a relentless existence on a treadmill, but that we as a race or species are actually prisoners.  Well, we won't find that 'better existence' by 'beautifying' 'dressing up' or making the prison cells any more 'comfortable' or 'pleasing'. No, I prefer the outside world to a prison complex any time. But how do we escape?

Unfortunately, I don't have a space ship for us to go to another beautiful planet and start again.

No, I can't even point you to a higher being who will make things better.

(Make my prison better you mean!.  No thanks, I don't have time to do any prison makeovers.  Just move onto the next person with that one. I am not interested)

And anyone who is prepared to wait another million or more years for the 'knucklehead' human race to evolve (for that is surely one of the ways we see ourselves as a species). Well, good luck waiting. It's going to be a long frickin' wait. That's if the treadmill doesn't break apart in the meantime and the knuckleheads on it break themselves apart.

Actually, we are not much better in our own little prison worlds than the prisoners in a 'real' prison.

Some people may not agree?  Then try picturing a person not going to work for one month, two months or more. No work whatsoever. No money earning whatsoever. I don't mean 'lose' a job.  I mean refuse to go to work. Let the bills pile up.  Let the mortgage or car payments fall behind. Let a myriad other evils pile up whilst there is no money whatsoever coming in. Then that person will eventually end up in a 'real' prison, as sure as the sun rising tomorrow morning. After of course losing everything they had in the first place. The only difference is that one is a recognised prison and the other is not.  Either way they are going to be living in a prison. Inside, outside, the same shit.

But he or she deserves it, the 'moral' society pipes up.  We are put here to 'work hard' 'pay our bills' 'earn an honest living' they say. Well, I'm not a frickin knucklehead, don't they think I know that much, and neither do I think a lot of my human brothers and sisters are knuckleheads or lazy bums,dishonest or immoral. We know that shit already.

It's time for the human race to wake up.  We have people gravely poor, sick, diseased, tormented, stressed and frazzled, most working their asses of on the treadmill, disillusioned, lost and loaded with countless other human maladies. Are we just going to keep sleeping? or are we once and for all going to wake up!?

Are you ready?
