Numbness becomes the new life for those de-spirited by culture. They have been cultured — destroyed and reborn into the new life, where only the unnatural is desirable, for the unnatural feels safe and familiar, for they are unnatural. They have been remade in the image and likeness of falsity; their true God. But the truth aches in their forbidden places and grieves them with a nagging malaise of uncertainty and unbelonging.
All human derangements and fractures begin with the loss of self — a loss no amount of grieving can heal.
The loss of true identity creates a lifetime of pain.
True authenticity creates a state of jeopardy and danger for that individual, forcing them to hide in resentful conformity. This is how inauthenticity creates bitterness in the individual, and ultimately in the culture.
What society hates and fears most is nature and truth, especially when observed in people.
All loss of power begins with shame, and suppression of what is deemed bad in our nature.
We accept the mantel of shame in order to transition into the adult life of freedom. This is how we trade inhibition for tradition. This is how we lose ourselves.
The true loss of innocence is when freedom becomes shameful, and shame becomes freedom.
We can live life as broader spectrum beings, with the best qualities of children, by healing our affliction of adultism, which severed us from communing with our vast inner-child.
Begin to accept imagination as a part and form of reality, because human reality is inseparable from imagination.
