Do you know how much you are alienated from yourself?

January 3, 2008

Who are youThe external world of each person and the collective is an expression of the psychical inner life of the people in general: disrespecting the world of nature and animals, ignoring our natural resources of life, damaging the climate conditions, polluting environment, and much more. That means: people live alienated from themselves. The way people treat each other, they treat themselves, especially their inner life. What people are inside, we see it outside in the world and society.

  1. Without your soul (your inner life) you are merely biomass for unlimited profits of the corporate groups! And you can’t even realize this yourself!
  2. If you don’t want to listen to your inner life, you will have to painfully obey the external reality and the conditions of the world! And you can’t realize yourself anymore!
  3. Running after each fashion trend to be a unique person instead of becoming, being, and living one’s self, will mean that you can’t realize yourself!
  4. You don’t want to form yourself? Then you will have to live in the spirit of the Siberian working camps. And under such spiritual conditions you can’t realize yourself!
  5. Buy less newspapers/magazines. This makes you free for the real and true life - your authentic being! How can you realize yourself being a follower of magazine’s trendy stories?
  6. Listen more to your gut feeling and your intuition and less to advertisements and gossip! Or how can you realize yourself with gossip?
  7. Bank loans make dependent, show greed & impatience: you want to have without having worked for it! You are not living yourself! How can you realize yourself?
  8. You want to know the truth about yourself; therefore you must learn how to interpret your dreams. Or you can’t realize yourself!
  9. How can you realize yourself without extensive self-knowledge and ignoring your inner Spirit?
  10. Most people are full of traumas, unsolved inner conflicts, and various complexes. Self-realization first demands to resolve this (mostly) unconscious inner world.

Most people are powerless in front of the huge national and global problems. Resignation, fear, and hopelessness paralyze. “Everybody has to look first at one’s own interests”, is a common device. Most people are also powerless in front of their unknown psychical inner life. Self-realization is not possible! Are you interested in an authentic self-realization?

There is a tremendous lack of love, heart warmth, feeling of human security and protection. Most people can’t develop their individuality and autonomy under the conditions and pressure of the social and material demands. There is also a remarkable lack of open discussions, of authenticity of feelings, of transparency of thoughts. Humiliations form part of the daily life, often not easily identifiable. Under such conditions self-realization is a real challenge!

There are people living the classical virtues. They follow principles and not their inner being. The emancipated person doesn’t need an inner Spirit; or a “spirit” that fits to their concept of suppressing and ignoring the inner life; and especially that matches with their interests of profits and reputation. The fear of self-knowledge is titanic. But ignoring yourself makes self-realization impossible!
