In a few hours I will be leaving for 10 days.
I'll be going to Belgium where I'll be doing a Vipassana meditation course. Basically this means 10 days of meditating in silence. 10 days! Never done that before, but I'm really looking forward to it. I remember when I did a part 2 silence course in Bad Antogast, which was 2 or 3 days. But then I met my girlfriend, which was a great experience. Ever got to know someone without talking to each other? It's cool!
Only thing is this won't happen very likely in everyday life, just as it's unlikely to find someone during a silence course. The result is invaluable; I got a unique lifetime experience and we're still happily together. That was 1.5 years ago. Time flies!
Let's see how time will fly during Vipassana. I imagine days passing by slow at first. But once you get into the rhythm, the song is over before you know it. Speaking about songs, I'm going to start a music production course in september; specialized in hip hop, teaching me how to make beats, how to mix, how to record, how to master. Mixing will be the most important thing. When I come back I have 1 week to get my equipment ready so I can start applying the things I learn there, at home. I was there yesterday actually, the place is awesome; they have like 3 studios, with superb equipment.
And last night I had a dream. I was just doing my thing when I suddenly heard my own song coming from the radio. I was stunned. People liked it, and later on when I was hanging out I even met Immortal Technique! It was strange though - it felt like I had known him for a long time.
Yesterday I read on Vigilant Citizen about the occult symbolism of Jay-Z's latest video clips. To be honest, I never really liked Jay-Z in the first place. But when I scrolled down I saw a picture of Prodigy, the main rapper of Mobb Deep (he looks a lot older!) talking about that he understands how the world goes around, and that people like Jay-Z are too afraid to speak out the truth. That he actually cried when he found out himself how it's all a setup; a conspiracy against humanity.
Thugs cry, but only the real. This makes me respect him more than any song ever could. Good times are not coming; they are already right now, you just gotta see it.

A New Course
Into the wild was temporarily dead, but just a second ago I reanimated it. It is important that I share knowledge with the world, and I like to write. There are many people out there who put in considerable effort into educating their fellow human beings. The most important thing you can do in life is to learn, and with that I don't mean going to school, because few things of value are ever thought there, if none at all. The only reason why I would send my kids to school is because I would want them to socialize with other kids their age. After all, also I have school to thank for a great many friendships.
But let's not get side tracked here, this is about education, and Into the Wild will be slightly different from what it used to be. The name remains, because it's still fitting; in the end the world is a jungle, whether vegetative or concrete. Even more the world is a jungle when we look at it from a different angle as in, the world of ideas, the realms of the mind, conscious and subconscious.
Our conscious mind is limited, our subconscious mind is not limitless, but regards a far bigger domain. It is important therefore, to understand that things such as mind control and indoctrination go beyond your conscious mind. Even more accurate to say would be that indoctrination is always targeted at your subsconscious. The conscious mind gets the information from the subconscious mind, hence people are not so quick to question their beliefs.
It takes some awareness, and literal open mindedness to be able to accept new ideas. Socrates did this by presenting people with questions that they could not answer; asking about their ideas and beliefs up to the point that they realized their opinions weren't grounded on anything. Of course, this is fairy tale psychology; most people will not even accept that their beliefs are based on nothing; rather they either stop listening or go into denial mode, which is in fact the same thing.
But I'm always happy to meet people who are conscious, who educated themselves out of a search for knowledge, because they felt intuitively that there was more to the story that we've been told as we're growing up. What story is that? The story of life; who we are, how we came here, why we're here, who came before us, who will come after us, why the things are the way they are. Take a look at society and you're flabbergasted.
There are people who feel something, but they don't act upon it. Afraid of what may come, afraid of knowing something they rather not know. People who would rather stay in their own world, in which everything is safe, rather than waking up. The irony is that waking up is inevitable, and the longer they wait, the more confronting it will be. In the end, staying in bed is just a waste of time; when you feel your eyes wanting to open, when you feel the warmth of the sunrays shining through the window, that's when you should wake up.
Intuition, the voice of God, the voice of your true self, is one to never ignore. Fear is there to distract you from the path. It's not in our nature to be frightened. Fear is nurtured by society, and we're completely unaware of that. We are society, and ignorant people means an easily manipulated world. Think of kids, how easy it is to manipulate them. It is a great responsibility to have kids, because it is your job to guide them with love.
At the same time it is very hard to raise kids, even when you're a good parent, because of all the bad influences society has on them. Nowadays I rarely see kids playing outside; all they do is play video games and watch television. When I was in Croatia it felt nostalgic to see so many kids playing outside. At the same time, I was horrified when I learned that they also watch Lady Gaga and similar rubbish.
The people who are aware, who take responsibility to educate themselves, should also take responsibility to share it with the world. Not in the way of putting your own opinions as the absolute truth, but in the way of having people start thinking for themselves in the way that you do. Most people don't think for themselves; they just repeat whatever they read in the papers or seen on the television.
My girlfriend is always horrified when I talk about my philosophy regarding machines, but bear in mind that the human body is a machine - a very advanced one at that - in itself, and there's nothing wrong with that. It only becomes an issue, when the machine takes over from consciousness, and that's what's happening. The machine is a tool, consciousness is what utilizes the tool.
At the very same time I also notice a change happening. As part of humanity grows ever more attached to illusion, there is also a part that starts to disconnect from the lies, and reconnect to the truth. Ever heard of the 100th monkey? You should google it. I know that there will come a time, not far from now, that our whole race will have a very sudden (if you talk about cycles that take thousands of years, then a span of 5 years would be very sudden) shift in consciousness. I dare say even, that this shift is already taking place right now.
The night is darkest before the dawn, and the New World Order will have seemed to succeed at the darkest point of human history, when suddenly we'll wake up one day in light, looking back at our destructive past as a terrible dream.
