The Northern 📍

  Addicts      What does it say about the state of society, here in the West, where addiction is treated as a normal part of everyday life?      What does it say about a system, where substance use and abuse is nothing more than a common occurrence?        When humanity is forced into a cage, and taught to live as nothing more than slaves, how can we truly be surprised that those who are entrapped turn towards a synthetic outlet? How can we be shocked to learn, that the very individuals who we lock away, show side-effects of losing their free will? When you take a people, who have known nothing but freedom and sunny days- how can you truly be surprised, when enslaving them turns into a psychological nightmare?      A fascinating study was done, by a scientist I cannot remember, who experimented on mice. He fed the mice LSD-laced water, and watched their behaviours, while being trapped in their cage. The mice learned t...

  Reality.      Another realm to conquer. Another space in which the physical bends to our will.        Perhaps the most challenging part of today’s reality, is abandoning all which you hope in exchange for what is. To surrender the unique desire to accomplish something extraordinary, in exchange for the here and now. In exchange for something worth absolutely nothing, said for only that which will remain here in the physical.      The truth is, I’m afraid to join reality. A man of faith, living in fear. I am afraid of what the world has become. A place where I am not accustomed to be. Somewhere I do not enjoy nor belong. Something that I had chosen to surrender, long, long ago. It ashamed me to even admit it. It shames me to even speak the word of fear. Like a disease, which slowly devours all in front of it. Living in fear is no way to live at all. Instead, I must come to terms with it and face it head on. I must become the warrio...

  Feel the Heat.      Dig down deep, and face the sun. Feel the fire as it spreads across your skin. Allow it to consume you, slowly devouring everything in its path. The fire of life, claiming whatever it wishes to claim.      Cold does not exist. Only the lack of heat. When we feel something cold or frigid, we are not actually experiencing a real sensation. The sensation is simply the object or atmosphere sucking away our heat. A weird concept to fully grasp, when you first learn it.        When one begins to understand how life and science works, many different windows begin to open. Many different thought processes and patterns begin to dissolve. The only way we can truly find new ways to improve and innovate, is by constantly changing what we hold to be true. One cannot expect to escape the dead-end thinking which has lead us to our troubles in the first place, without first experiencing reality-shattering thoughts.  ...

  All-In To Win.      Some games, you only get to play when you’re willing to go all-in. When you’re willing to stick your neck out, and risk everything. When something matters so much to you, you willingly accept the task of dedicating your life to it. You risk your own future and well-being upon the ideas based within your head.      The future is bleak, especially for those who sit by and stand idle. Those who are not willing to get involved, or willing to try and improve the situation. Everybody becomes complacent, waiting for somebody else to do whatever it is which must be done. The standing around and waiting becomes more and more common, the more each and every individual is trapped in their own reality.        Endless entertainment is meant to rob every man and woman of their true potential. Their true purpose. Constantly being bombarded with non-stop television, non-stop sports, non-stop gambling. 24/7, there is always som...
