Rules for Thee 📏

 Rules, Rules, Rules.

    So many rules. Who follows the rules, anyways? At a certain point, these so-called rules become nothing more than shackles. Nothing more than a system put in place to keep and control those under their jurisdiction and in line with someone else’s goals.

    How are we meant to live our life? Are we not meant to learn and follow all the rules around us at all times? Do this, don’t do that. The list goes on and on and on. Every single day, there seems to be a new rule being implemented. A new rule, cast upon our lives. How many rules must one memorize before they are capable of finally understanding that there are no rules?

    The shackles of mankind have become a mental prison. The efforts of the few, to create limits on the many. The individuals who are in charge, creating a system of enslavement, for those they rule over. Or at least, who they believe they rule over. The world has truly not changed much, since mankind began to record history.

    Freedom is something which has been a very limited gift. In fact, I would argue that freedom is more of a false dream, than anything else. Every single period in history, whenever we the people are taught to believe that we are free- something comes along to remind us that we are not. That we are, in fact, at the mercy of those who reside above us. Those who hold the true power of the land, who shape the laws and change the rulebook. Freedom is a delicate dream.

    Most of history has been based upon as beautiful lie. The lie that we humans have our own ability to stand up and choose what it is we wish to be. What it is we wish to accomplish. What it is we wish to believe. But the reality is something much different than whatever we were taught. The reality is that we all operate subconsciously upon a system of rules and regulations which have been forced into our system from an early age. Either from our parents, who are completely unaware of their own limitations. Or by our peers & colleagues, who operate upon their own system of rules in which they believe are concrete. 

    The chains of today are a mental prison. The more rules and individual knows, the more they live in fear. The overbearing weight of the world, constantly pushing down upon them. Constantly reminding us our place here on Earth. Not thru the cosmos and nature itself, no. But rather our place amongst the social hierarchy which has been built from man. Built from the literal hands of those who wish to enslave us. And the majority of the population happily goes about their day, content with whatever system is put into place for them.

    Thinking is not a strong-suit for most. The reality is, most people are more than content living their life according to however someone else tells them to. Tell them to wake up and go to school, from 8am-4pm? Easy. Go to work from 9am-5pm? Done. Go to a work and stay overtime, until the wee hours of the morning? No problem. The average human is more than content to do exactly as told. And they take pride in it. They take pride in the fact that they are capable of following so many rules on their own. They become proud. They begin to walk around with a false sense of confidence, believing that their abilities to follow orders helps separate them from the crowd. 

    Most people would not know what to do with their own freedom in the first place. Most simply lack the ability to truly understand what freedom is all about. Like those who go on vacation for two weeks every year. Two weeks, just to go down south and get hammered. To drink and smoke as much as possible, partying away there only two weeks of the year. Destroy themselves mentally and physically, acting like complete degenerates. Simply because they are free. Free from rules. Free from orders. Free from having to jump and smile and ask “how high?” with every single order.

    Being free is a mental exercise. It is a mental practice, where one must learn to understand that the shackles they wear are self-inflicted. That they are truly under control by nothing more than their own understanding of the rules themselves. Most people fall in line and act a certain way, because they believe that what they are doing is “right”. That they believe their actions are their own thoughts, and nobody else’s. That they are allowed to act a certain way because it falls into the rules of society. If one acts a certain way because they are following rules- then one cannot truly be free, can they?

    Rules are meant to be broken. They are meant to be pushed and pulled, torn and destroyed. They are meant to be made a farce, as a reminder that there are no rules. That there is no golden book with instructions on how to act. How to behave. How to move. Each and every form of rules which has been presented to mankind, has been an attempt to enslave them. An attempt to put them in line, and have them follow orders with our question. Without thought. Without free will.

    The next time you’re out- try breaking a few rules. Try to act outside of the norm, and see what kind of response you get. See what kind of reaction and stares you receive. See how there are strict guidelines to follow- and that as soon as you break them, people begin to stare. They begin to judge. They begin to comment. They begin to reach out and attack your individuality, demanding you fall back into line.

    The greatest force for which to control the masses lies within the masses themselves. The very individuals, within the oppression group, who work for the masters themselves. They will enforce the rules which they live by, free of charge. They will push for everybody to follow their lead, because they believe it is their duty. They believe that they somehow are gaining moral points. Moral victories. Moral power.

    Humans are a weird group of people. We are complex yet dumb, intelligent yet stupid. The contradictions and dualities of us all, within a society, make for insanity. It makes for a massive cluster of noise. A hurricane of mayhem.

If one wishes to escape the maze, to escape the programs-

one must learn how to rise above the noise.

        Glory Be,

                    Amen.
