Limitless Man

When was it we started a process towards total limitation?

It is a hypothetical and completely uninteresting question to ask! Who cares “when”? The issue is that we are fixed on that course …. so what to do about it? How to stop it? Those are the real questions whose answers will lead to active development and true growth..

Looking at society today it is typical of our limited being that we dare not “go out there” and challenge our beliefs and values. Instead we sit comfortable in our little corners, muttering and cluttering, …. listening to all the prophets of our time, to all the experts in this and that. We have allowed others to take over our lives and tell us what to do and what not to do. We don’t know how to live any more.

Freely we give away our power every day; it is so convenient that we don’t have to do anything, but it doesn’t make us happy! Maybe we feel safe and healthy, but are we happy. In a way yes! Happy to follow the rules that others make. Happy to know that somebody is taking responsibility. Happy to be a baby again. Happy to be brainwashed. Happy to be passive. But not really happy. Not content. Because we were never meant to be passive, and we know that deep inside ourselves. So we compensate by other means.

We escape into the world of the television, which is nothing but a passive unreality. Or we use words to tell how liberated we are, how good, how healthy, how annoying the “system” is, ….. “but then I told them!!!!”  Words are passive! In reality nothing happens! We put words out there instead of doing something. “What can I do? I don’t have the time. It is hopeless anyway.” and so on. Look at the facts, at reality. Nothing happens, nothing changes. We have put a lot of power into words, but there is none. It’s one big illusion.

The only way to stop this march towards total subjection is to take active part in our own lives. The good news is that we have everything we need to take back our lives and get into a full life again with all the power that we are given. Helping ourselves back to real life again is furthermore the best we can do for others as helping by example works far better than words. We can only take responsibility for our own life, and for that we have the FULL responsibility. No matter how powerless we feel, no matter what others do to us, we have a choice about how to deal with the situation. We don’t have to be somebody to change the world, we don’t have to claim our rights by banging the drums, - all we have to do is be who we are, to do our best and to walk without waiting for direction, to trust. It is very simple  ….. to BE!
