If you function like you were programmed to function…

Most people are going through existence just as they were programmed to go through it. Their reactions are reactions that were previously made to happen. Their reactions occur due to coming from what was previously formulated, concocted, and structured. They absorbed what was poured into them during their prior so-called “education.” Real education does not instill “what to think” inside you. Real education, rather, encourages people to investigate and understand “how they think.” Real education invites going beyond the realm of mere thinking. Real education doesn’t mold you; it helps you to be flexible, to intelligently question things, and to be individually dynamic in ways that are “out of the run-of-the-mill box.” Unfortunately, most people do not receive a Real education. Most people receive an ordinary, run-of-the-mill, pseudo-education involving conflict, rigid shaping of the mind, competition, obeying of dominance, conformity, fitting in to a rigid pattern, fear, and acceptance of antiquated values and beliefs. Students leave such so-called educational fields not as dynamic, whole, enlightened human beings, but (rather) as what was molded and designed to, without question, fit into the cogs of the antiquated wheel. They weren’t taught to “perceive”; they were taught to label, categorize, and accept. Those who taught them were equally programmed, shaped, molded, and made to react in certain rigid, stagnant ways. Unfortunately, such people lead rather boring, stale, obtuse, and indifferent lives. They became used to being bored, to sitting there surrounded by “sameness,” to sitting there accepting dull routine and endless, stale repetition. And then they end up in slave-like careers full of dull routine, stale repetition, dark conformity, “sameness,” indifference, crude competition, and boring patterns.

It’s tragic, really. If they didn’t mold you, you might be a danger to the lies, pretenses, and hypocrisy; and that just would not do. But to be unalive among those who are equally unalive is not living. Reeducate yourself — it’s never too late — wake up, transform beyond fragmentation, feel for so-called others, transcend beyond rigid (absorbed) beliefs, reexamine all that you have been indoctrinated to accept, look with truly fresh eyes, and go beyond all the crap that was piled into you (as your foundation).

My Blog primarily consists of close-up nature photos (that I've taken locally) combined with original holistic-truth oriented prose and/or poetry involving mindfulness/awareness. I love nature and I love understanding the whole (not merely the parts and the details). I'm a retired teacher of the multiply handicapped. I have a number of interesting hobbies, such as fossil collecting, sport-kite flying, 3D and 2D close-up photography, holography, and pets. Most of all, I am into holistic self-awareness, spontaneous insight, unconventional observation/direct perception, mindfulness, meditation, world peace, non-fragmentation, population control, vegetarianism, and green energy.
