Dismantling The Machine

I have spent the week researching this topic. I feel safe to say this will be my best post to date. Before we get into the esoteric aspects of how to not operate so much as a machine, i have some basic ideas.

Understand the Mechanics of Your own Actions.

Have you ever told a simple lie? Such as you don't want to " hang out" with someone so you make up an excuse. This builds a foundation of uncertainty in your relationships which leads to second guessing, mismanagement of speech, and more lies. Within time you will not even be aware of the fact that you are doing something wrong. Telling the truth is never mechanical, but deceiving other can become such. Little white lies that we all tell during most of our daily routine, soon lead to little white lies which are directed inward. TELL THE TRUTH AT ALL TIMES. No matter what the condition, it is never beneficial to lie.

Isolation Baths

This is a technique that i have experimented with while researching on how to beat the machine. This is a very simple exercise. Fill a bath tub with fairly hot water. Then proceed to get into the tub and lay still. The exercise is in not thinking. Do not think a single thought. However thoughts will come, but when they do just start over again. You will be starting over quite a bit. Do this for about an hour and a half a day.

Buy a Fluoride Filter for Your Water

Fluoride has properties in which the Nazis exploited to calm people in prison camps and ghettos by adding it to their drinking water. Our water has the same chemical in it. If you need details on this dangerous substance and its mind controlling properties please view one of my previous posts entitled " Forced Domestic Tranquility."

Practice " Non-tune"

Non-tune is a term i have used for the practice of ignoring something that is right in front of your senses. This one is simple and sort of related to the isolation bath exercise. Turn on your TV to something you enjoy watching. Now sit back close you eyes, and attempt to not pay attention to what the fuck is going on during the episode or movie. This seems easy, but it truly is not. If you can follow what the characters are saying on the TV you have not perfected the exercise. A hint is to pay attention to the blackness you see before you.
Draw More

Simple enough.
Analyze Three Conversations a Day

Take three conversations you have had during the day and analyze them. I mean ANALYZE. The mood, why you responded the way you did, what the other person might have been thinking while responding, etc. Analyze the posture, everything.

Life as a Robot.

What is a robot. It is a machine that is programmed to produce specific responses to specific stimuli. Are we not the same? Each and every one of us are simply just responding to everything in the way we have chosen since early childhood to respond to everything. We evolve our responses but they are still robotic like in nature. Then something interesting happens. We no longer claim responsibility for our own responses. For instance, we say that someone made us angry. Logically nobody can make you angry, that is how you choose to respond to a situation that is presented to you. There are two Jews on the side of the road. Someone drives by and barks Nazi propaganda at the two of them. One gets offended and one laughs it off. Therefore the response of anger does not come directly from the driver of the car. So this gets interesting. We all have our own pre-programmed responses to certain situations that are robotic in nature and we, in turn, create an illusion around it to protect it. Where did this come from? Where does true freedom exist? Imagine if we responded to every situation as if we were looking at it from the mind of someone who had not run into the situation times before. Looked at everything from brand new eyes.

"Without self knowledge, without understanding the working and functions of his machine, man cannot be free, he cannot govern himself and he will always remain a slave." - Gurdjieff

The way we connect as lovers is also robotic in nature. We assume that it is love that drives men and women together. I am here to state that it is not love, it is an overwhelming sense of loneliness that each of us feel. If we do not marry, you cannot deny that the majority of single people are very lonely. So in a sense, we do not have a choice.

Our elections are not a choice, our housing situation is never really a choice, our retirement is never really a choice. Society in general is just as robotic as we are! There are no choices!

So how do you overcome this individually? I am going to look into this and create a second post titled, Dismantling the Machine. More to come!
