<h2><b>The Poisonous Ocean of Pleasure</b></h2> </br> </br>
|
||||
<p>There exists an ocean out there, containing all of the pleasures you can imagine and the ones you can't even imagine. It contains more pleasure than you'll ever be able to experience. Even if you were to only dip your toes in it from time to time, you'd have enough pleasure to experience to last an entire lifetime.</p>
|
||||
<img src="ocean.png" class="imgRz">
|
||||
<p>At first when you were young, you were on the shore, you didn't know of the pleasures of this world, back then the world was beautiful, intriguing, radient, every little thing was an adventure.</p>
|
||||
<p>And then you started to go into that ocean, you experienced pleasure you didn't even believe was possible to experience. Since then, everything else that doesnt provide that pleasure felt boring, unsatisfying, pointless. </p>
|
||||
<p>After a while, you kept going back to that ocean again and again, but for some reason it was never enough, you never stopped going there, so much so that you started to swim into that ocean, as far as you could go, to feel as much pleasure as you possibly could.</p>
|
||||
<p>Problem is, the farther you go into that ocean, the bigger the waves are, it becomes increasingly more difficult to stay afloat and breathe.</p>
|
||||
<p>You lost control in that high sea, and the waves keep crashing onto you, sending you underwater, making you sink lower, and lower.</p>
|
||||
<img src="sink.png" class="imgRz">
|
||||
<p>If you are or have been one of those people whose lives have been destroyed by addictions, i'm sure you know exactly what i'm talking about. You know what that rock bottom feels like. At the bottom of that ocean, there is only darkness, there is no joy at all. Only pain, and suffering.</p>
|
||||
<p>The moral of the story is just this: There is more pleasure than you could ever experience in your entire lifetime in that ocean, <b>the deeper you go into that pleasure ocean, the darker your world becomes. Therefore if you want your world to remain beautiful, you must stay out of that ocean altogether</b>. You must not only reject the act of indulging in pleasure, <b>Most importantly you need to realize that you do not truly want it, nor need it.</b> You need to reject the very idea of indulging into Pleasure altogether.</p>
|
||||
<img src="sunrise.png" class="imgRz">
|
||||
<p><b>It is by rejecting that ocean of pleasure, (not just temperance, complete abstinance) that the beauty of your world will return.</b></p>

<h2><b>Nihilism: Dissolving Compulsions</b></h2> </br> </br>
|

<p>Modern Nihilism, as i am pionnering myself, is a set of sentences, or mantras, to be repeatedly mentally thought of, in order to change yourself from within, this aims to alter your perception, your beliefs, and your actual sense of self.</p>

|
||||
<p>It doesn't matter what you currently think you want, or what you think you need. It's an illusion anyway. And to be able to get rid of those compulsions, you need to uproot them from your mind directly.</p>

<p>It is all up to you. <b>Are you going to need a cane to walk forever? Are you going to seek puerile pleasure all your life?</b> Stop being what others want you to be, dissolve it all. Hit that reset button.</p>

<h2><b>Your Staircase of Improvement</b></h2> </br> </br>
|
||||
<p>You have been thrown into a reality into which you were supposed to arrive at a great destination, but every path that was presented to you has been nothing but leading back to square one. You have been intentionally misled, to make sure that you don't go anywhere and keep slaving your life away.</p>
|
||||
<img src="escher.png" class="imgRz">
|
||||
<p>You have been shown many staircases over your life already. You have been told to get better at school, You have been told to get better at High school, you have been told to get better at college, then afterward you have been told to get better at work, then you've been told to get better at hoarding money, getting a house, a lamborghini, maybe you've been told at getting better at feeling pleasure with hard drugs, <b>What staircase am i supposed to go up in the end ? What path should I take ?</b></p>
|
||||
<img src="staircase of enslavement.png" class="imgRz">
|
||||
<p>This is all you are doing when you are seeking fulfilment from outside. You are getting the illusion of going up, but in reality you are going nowhere. You are going in circles. <b>If the destination is all that matters, you are invariably walking those Escher staircases that are filling this dystopian modern world,</b> leading you astray, making you stay mediocre, stagnant, and obedient.</p>
|
||||
<p>You were supposed to make a great journey, not walk in circles. You were supposed to walk in a straight line, without ever deviating from it. <b>Every deviation from the true path of your own evolution is a path of self-destruction.</b> However, where do i go, in which direction ? <b>If all you can see is your inflated Ego, you will never know in which direction you are supposed to go.</b> All you will keep seeing is how to protect that very important Ego, in this Egotistical world.</p>
|
||||
<p><b>The Ego is your friend when it comes to survival, but It is your enemy when it comes to evolving.</b> </p>
|
||||
<img src="staircase of improvement.png" class="imgRz">
|
||||
<p>There exists a staircase of improvement, a path that you are meant to take, sooner or later. It is the path of your own evolution. Like a bird in a cage, you were meant to fly and soar up in the sky, but you have grown to like the cage, you have gold plated the bars, even though the prison door was left wide open.</p>
|
||||
<p>Your ego is in the way, that' why you are stagnating. <b>It is because you are in your own way, that you are not going up that staircase.</b></p>
|
||||
<p>That staircase of improvement is hard to walk, it is never coming back down for a break. It simply goes up, and up and up and forever up, it requires you to continuously dissolve your old self, to be able to take the next step.</p>
|
||||
<img src="staircase.png" class="imgRz">
|
||||
<p>Is it madness to constantly evolve, constantly dissolving what you currently are, so that you may become the one you were meant to become ? Or is it madness to remain stagnant, walking in circles within the drawn lines of society, up until you die ?</p>
|
||||
<p>You are not going to see that staircase of improvement, up until you completely destroy this ego of yours, and clearly see beyond the veil that every other path is leading you astray. <b>It is when you realize that every path you previously took, are going nowhere, that you realize that there exists ONE path worth taking</b>. </p>
|
||||
<p>I used to be a videogame addict, I dumped more than 9 thousand hours into one video game, all in the name of my ego. If that ego of mine remained the same up until now, i wouldn't have started this blog, I wouldn't have talked about how to become productive, about how one could protect and free themselves from tyranny, nor talked about how to lead a fulfilling life. I could have stayed the same, stagnated, kept going in cirlces, achieving nothing in my life, staying mediocre. I could've kept spiraling down that heartless, poisonous, pointless, endless path of pleasure seeking.</p>
|
||||
<img src="spiralstaircase.png" class="imgRz">
|
||||
<p>I looked at my life, I looked at what i was doing, I asked myself why i was doing these things, none of it made any sense. I was doing things without understanding why i was doing those things. <b>It was only up until i started destroying this ego of mine, every single day that i realized i was going in the wrong direction.</b> All i was doing was protecting this worthless ego of mine, Ultimately going nowhere.</p>
|
||||
<p>It was only up until i destroyed that ego of mine, that i could see beyond it, I realized that every staircase people were walking, were going nowhere. And so was I.</p>
|
||||
<p>So i started seeking that staircase of improvement of mine, and after a long while (5 years almost) I finally found it: <b>How to use technology to liberate individuals from tyranny.</b> That's when i started to explore that operational security topic, dedicating all of my free time into it. It is not possible to have such a goal in your life, let alone concieve it, if all you care about is yourself and how to protect your insignificant ego. <b>It is a matter of being able to act out of selflessness, because this is the most fulfilling way to live.</b></p>
|
||||
<p>By the time to leave this world will come, I aim to have continuously evolved every single day, to have lived the equivalent of 100 lifetimes, all compressed into one. I aim to lead the charge to try and change this world for the better myself, by empowering every individual out there to free themselves from governments, It's inevitable anyway, so i'm here to make the sovereign individual evolve into what it was meant to become, and make it become that right now. <b>I am now shamelessly going into that direction, because i know that this is the path i was meant to walk. It is because it is absolutely clear to me, where that path leads to, that I refuse to ever deviate from it,</b> Even if i may not be able to attain that distant destination in my lifetime, i aim to give it a solid shot, enough to inspire others to pursue that same path. </p>
