No More Bullshit

What if your whole life is based on a big fat lie? What if nothing you have believed in is the whole truth and nothing but? I bet you would not only be puzzled and curious, but angry and pissed off as well. What if your whole life story was based on a myriad of false beliefs, and that you were held prisoner by your own conditionings? Then what? Would you keep doing what you are doing? Is your life the most amazing experience you could ever imagine? It might be, and it might not be, that is the answer that will reveal what you believe you are. Your story tells us everything. “Good morning same old shit. Another day trying to chase the day. Up at dawn, off to work. Some of us are not meant to do greater things. I mean, it is not like a prince charming or a truck full of money is knocking on my door. I’ve got to remember to pick up the dry cleaning, it`s Thursday. Same, same. I’d better pick up my vitamins at the same time, and call my mum. Life is like a replay really, and sometimes I feel like a robot. Most of the time, actually. Had I only jumped at the possibility when it presented itself. It still bothers me. Look at my sister, she did it. Lucky her. Here I am, same old shit.” This is how our mind works. It keeps on going, non-stop. Blabbering away, using the same words, the same sentences, day out and day in. Until something changes. Take a minute and observe your own thoughts. Did you know that most of time we are telling ourselves the same old story? We are actually saying the same things over and over again, playing life as a broken record. Now that is scary powerful! We are not different from the crowd, you and me, even our friends are telling the same old tale. The same complaints are often expressed, over and over again, together with the same wishes and attitude. The story might wear a different dress or suit, but the core message is the same. The same way we are eating the same breakfast every single day, we are thinking the same thoughts. This is what we call programming. The behind-the-scene patterns that keeps us in the same loop. Willing and able to stay on the same track, day in and day out. We are programmed to behave in a certain way, to follow a religious movement, to have a certain attitude towards different people, and to look at ourselves as winners or losers. Whatever you think and believe, you grew up learning it. Our attitude towards our life, and life in general is a result of our life programming, and is now living in our subconscious mind. It’s a reflection of our beliefs, our clutter and how deeply we are sleeping. We can walk through life, sleeping like a baby. Not being aware at all. Cruising along within our every-day, like a zombie. Sigmund Freud used the metaphor of an iceberg to describe the two major aspects of human personality and behavior patterns. He looked at the conscious mind as “the tip of the iceberg,” the small part that extends above the water. The subconscious mind represents the much larger bulk of the iceberg, beneath the water.
