Truth will not make you happy

The vast majority here on earth are losers.

We get no awards, no recognition, no love.

If we're lucky, we get a crappy job.

Without fantasies, we wouldn't survive.

Almost half the world — over three billion people — live on less than $2.50 a day.

At least 80% of humanity lives on less than $10 a day.

According to UNICEF, 22,000 children die each day due to poverty.

Problems

Even if you were to experience a spiritual awakening,

you would still be forced to live your life in the everyday life dimension.

You would still need food and shelter, for yourself and for your family.

You would still have to deal with all the annoyances of everyday life.

A spiritual awakening would not solve your problems.

Con fusion

Some believe that they are superior, others that they are inferior.

Some are optimists, others are more skeptical.

Some are fully convinced about things they have not a clue about.

Maybe we all live in different fantasy worlds,

with different ideas about the world and what life is about.

Is there a God or a bunch of gods that guide our steps?

Is there an afterlife?

Will we reincarnate?

Maybe there are no Gods.

Maybe there is no afterlife.

Maybe there are multitudes of other universes out there somewhere?

Maybe we have a free will, maybe we don't.

Maybe there are no rules we have to follow,
maybe there are.

What is the world like, really?

The Wolf of Wall Street

The Wolf of Wall Street became a multi millionaire by taking advantage of people's greed and stupidity. But he was not the only one who became rich by cheating fools. Wall Street was, and still is, crammed with with cocaine-snorting crooks who get rich by cheating gullible fools. They sold huge amounts of worthless "financial instruments" to investors worldwide. Then, when the bubble burst in 2008, and the financial crisis was a fact, it was the taxpayers who had to rescue them.

Of course there are a lot of crooks also here in Europe. Here they did their rackets in Iceland, UK, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece... And in all these countries have taxpayers been forced to step in and support them so that their card houses would not collapse. If we hadn't bailed out the banks, we would have gone under with them. We have been kidnapped by gangsters.

Now we are sitting in movie theaters across the globe, giggling with delight when Leonardo DiCaprio jumps on the gravy train and fucks whores left and right. What amazing success ? What amazing babes ! Wow!

Sankalpa

What is the purpose with your meditation practice?

What are you trying to achieve?

What expectations do you have?

Which delusions are driving you?

Do you want to become enlightened and awesome?

Do you want to merge with the cosmic soul?

Do you want to become more self confident and more successful?

Do you want to lose weight?

Do you want to improve yourself in some way?
Do you need a group affiliation?

What are you looking for?

What if it is a misunderstanding that motivates you.

What if you've been misled by spaced out gurus and life coaches.

To search for truths

Many of those who start searching will not find any opals.

Many of those who devote their lives to dig themselves deeper and deeper

into the earth, will come back empty-handed.

How would you handle a failure like this?

What would you tell your old friends and family?

Would you lie and say that you really did find some beautiful opals

but that you sold them, and then you lost all the money,

or, would you prefer to be honest

and explain that you have wasted many, many years of your life

in this stupid search after illusions?

Important discoveries

The earth is not flat.

The earth is not at the center of the universe.

It is just a boulder among billions of other boulders.

A human being is just an animal among all the other animals.

God is just a fantasy figure.

There are no trolls, no ghosts and no fairies.

Life has no purpose, if you don't invent one.

The evolution has no direction and no goal.
