So, you can look at the world through American middle class glasses or English working class glasses or French hippie glasses, or ultra right wing glasses or left wing glasses. You can look at the world through Muslim fundamentalist glasses or scientific atheist glasses or…

you can look at the world through pessimistic glasses or optimistic glasses or crazy glasses.

But, is it possible to see the world as it really is, without any ideological or religious glasses? I don't think so.

Manifesto

We are not religious, not atheists, not agnostics. We are not Catholics, not Protestants not Greek Orthodox. We are not Hindus, not Muslims not Buddhists. We are not left nor right-wing orientated, not anarchists, not humanists, not feminists. We are not mainstream, not avant-garde, not out there.

We are not nihilists, not relativists, not post modernists. We are not biologists, not logical empirics, not rationalists, not pragmatics.

We are not indifferent, not disillusioned, not resigned.

It is not necessary to define oneself or to profess oneself an adherent of any particular belief system. You don't need to be a Marxist to make a cup of coffee, or cleaning the toilet or actually doing anything. You don’t have to be a Buddhist to take a swim. You don’t have to be a Protestant to go in to town. The belief systems are simply superfluous. We have now reached a point in the evolution when we can discard our mental luggage. We don’t have use for it anymore.

The law of the jungle still applies. Everybody knows that. But it is not a matter of eating or being eaten. That is a misconception. Everybody will be eaten, rich and poor, good and bad, everybody will end up as food for someone else; worms, insects and microbes. Life is completely just.

All life here on this planet stems from one single cell that was formed almost four billion years ago. This cell divided itself into two cells that divided themselves into four cells and so on. All life here on this planet is really one organism.

Yes, you can serve two masters. You don’t have to be devoted to one and despise the other. You can serve both God and money. Isn’t that perfectly clear by now?

Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are jealous and petty minded failures.

It doesn’t really matter if you enter through the narrow gate or the wide and easy one. All ways lead to the same goal: death.

Practice your piety before men in order to be seen by them, for then you will be rewarded. Thus, when you give alms, sound trumpets before you. Be proud of yourself. Believe in yourself. Kick ass!

Thoughts are not just thoughts. Thoughts are magic spells that can make you deeply religious or deeply non religious. Thoughts can turn you into a right winger or into a left winger. Thoughts can turn you into a neo Nazi. Thoughts can drive you crazy.
Thoughts can make you miserable and depressed and they can make you laugh. But what are thoughts, really? What do they consist of? What would we be without them? Is the thinker also a thought?

Be kind to your mind. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to your ego. Be kind to others. We are all in the same boat. Our planet is like a leaking ocean liner with a fire in the cargo hold.

Sometimes the ego is not like a nagging mother or a disturbing wino; sometimes it is more like a fascist schoolteacher or even like a merciless dictator in some banana republic. Then you’re in hot water. Such guys don’t want to hear that they are nothing but thoughts, that they are nothing but fantasies. They are like real. You have spread yourself thin to please them.


Some people believe that life is a competition, that life is about to win or loose. Some believe that life is a waiting room. They are waiting and waiting to get in to the doctor. In the mean time they are reading magazines.
Some people are not even aware of that they are very unhappy. They believe that they are filled with enthusiasm.

Everyone is telling everyone else how to think and what to believe and how to look at things. We are all like religious founders.

Some people are rich but inwardly dull and empty, sometimes also evil. They have nothing but money. To hide their inner emptiness and evil they spend money on charity. They can also go to church on Sundays and put on warm smiles, like politicians. In that way no one can complain about them.

“All the world’s a stage. And all the men and women merely players…” What if the actors. one after another, suddenly got bored with the play and took of their costumes and left the theater.

What if you tried to get to know yourself better, and you discovered that you where an egoistic, false and oily idiot. What would you do?
