Most people need constancy. Someone stable, predictable, placeable—so they can stop looking, stop seeing, stop asking. They want to go on doing whatever it is they’re doing, and when they turn around, you’re expected to be there. As they remember you. As they need you.
They have too much to do, too much to chase, plan, achieve. They can’t keep locating you, refreshing their perception of you. It’s too much work. Too time-consuming. They don’t even have time to sit still, to rest, to play. You are the least of their concerns. And they create so many fictitious dramas that they miss the real one—their life.
It’s a developmental problem, not a moral one. People are afraid of truth because they reduce it to judgment instead of realization—which would actually benefit all. That’s why de-conditioning and re-education have always been central for me. I just didn’t always see how difficult—and how dangerous—that is. Even for those who say they support it. Because it sounds inspiring… until one turns inward and looks clearly at themselves and their participation.
Then they discover they cannot see. They hit the walls of blame and shame. And those walls produce fear.
Fear makes them run, freeze, or defend by attacking. The war moves inside and becomes invisible—yet it is constant.
There are no new topics. Not really. The subject is always at the center of one’s objective world. Nothing is truly unknown—only unrecognized. The same things have been said across centuries, languages, and cultures. It is all here, waiting to be seen.
This brings me more wonder than frustration. So much still amazes me.
It’s not even about understanding. I understand—often more than people understand themselves—by studying my own mind and recognizing patterns. And still, every interaction surprises me. Which means: all interactions, all the time, with anyone, anywhere.
The human condition…
I still see this as an educational issue.
Cosmology should partner with biology. We would see the same cosmos from different perspectives. Religions—and so-called morality—should be removed from basic education. Instead, ethics, natural consequences, and learning through them should be lived and modeled.
But removing religions (and there are more than we think) would also dissolve much of what they sustain: nationalism, sexism, righteousness, inferiority and superiority, racism…
What would happen to materialism then?
Civilization is just the personal, scaled up. The only difference is time and complexity. More pieces, more delay in seeing the effects.
To see the external, the large scale, we must look from within—from the atomic.
Stop meditating.
Stop closing your eyes.
Learn to see the cosmos—this multi-dimensional reality—with open eyes. While driving, eating, working, resting, talking…
