A little wisdom... Your religious calling was written on plates of stone by the flaming finger of an angry God. Our religion was established by the traditions of our ancestors, the dreams of our elders that are given to them in the silent hours by the Great Spirit. And the premonitions of the learned beings. It is written in the hearts of our people, thus: We do not require churches - which would only lead us to argue over God. And the thought that white men should rule over nature and change its ways to his liking, was never understood by the red man. Our belief is that the Great Spirit has created all things. Not just mankind, but all animals, all plants, all rocks, all on Earth and amongst the stars with true soul. For us, all life is holy. But. You do not understand our prayers when we address the Sun, Moon, and Winds. You have judged us without understanding, only because our prayers are different. But we are able to live in harmony with all of nature. All of nature is within us and we are all part of nature.

But you’re still fucking peasants as far as I can see. John Lennon, Working Class Hero1 The Freedom All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. We’re all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There’s no such thing as death. Life is just a dream. And we are the imagination of ourselves. Bill Hicks 1 Working Class Hero, Apple Records, 1970. 1 Chapter 1 The Bewildered Herd So who the hell are you, then? What lies behind those eyes? When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Do you see the real you, or what you have been conditioned to believe is you? The two are so, so, different. One is an infinite consciousness capable of being and creating whatever it chooses, the other is an illusion imprisoned by its own perceived and programmed limitations. Which of these “yous” is controlling your life? Infinity or limitation? Self love or self disdain? Freedom of thought or a prison of the mind? Sadly for the overwhelming majority of people on this planet all but the privileged few - it is the conditioned mind which prevails. They live their lives within their programmed limitations of thought, view, and action. It is a world of I can’ts and I daren’ts and I mustn’ts; of I shoulds and I musts and I ought tos; a world of conforming to what someone else says they must be or should be. While the real them sees only solutions and opportunities to learn and evolve, the programmed them sees only problems and reasons not to do. They live life behind bars in a cell of their own making. The world itself reflects the sum total of these billions of individual prisons. The Earth has become a global Alcatraz, a spinning ball of control and imposition dictated by the few at the expense of the many. Freedom? Free-what? How do you spell that again? The human race has not been free for a very, very long time, well before recorded history. But the trick is to persuade us that we are free - then we won’t do anything about the walls that surround us and the warders at the door. Walls? What walls? You’re free! Warders? What warders? You’re free! Yes you are free: you are free to watch television - thirty channels and more of mindless crap which close down your sense of infinity and fred you illusions of what you should do, be and think. You have the freedom to press the zappa button and choose any one of them.
