Emancipation

How can one think clearly with the prejudicial and grossly inadequate consciousness of a conflicted and sorely conditioned mind? The reality is you can't until you become emancipated. Until you realize that on the very deepest levels, you are a slave.  And you act and think accordingly. Its no use being smug about it or thinking that you are the exception.  Because the conscious mind is so adept at justification and rationalization, it is very difficult to go beyond your own mind set.  All your books, about god, enlightenment and ways to "achieve" are but a symptom of your bondage. Guru's, saviors, and mystic's are a product and result of your neurosis, your psychological need to be lead by a figure that persuades and entreats followers as a religious, political or cultural hegemony. Self proclaimed authorities are a result of your intransigence toward understanding the inner workings and motivations of your own mind. Humanity has evolved as a society of conventionalist. Breaking away from this servile mentality requires an enormous amount of clarity. But it is difficult. The polity of religious and political leaders make them masters of prevarication. One needs to start with a fresh mind. A mind that understands the the inner workings of a self-deprecating or judiciously motivated consciousness. You cannot "systemize" or "scheme" your way to some sort of new understanding.

Emancipation occurs not as a result of anything you do or believe, but as a consequence of what you don't do or believe. Because your doing and your beliefs are the problem. This does not mean that you become some "mindless" boob meditating your way to an incredulous vacuity of thought. What it does mean is that you are able to understand and overcome the reactionary tendencies of mimicking and regurgitating all the BS that you have been brainwashed with over the last one hundred thousand years. Yes it is to some degree genetic. So seeing and realizing this fact of who and what you are, in this very moment, is the change.  Its not a beginning or an end it is just this absolute moment and nothing more.
