Is there hope yet for anyone of us? Profiteers driving the world to a brink of collapse. General decline of cognitive capacity and self-awareness. Nobody seems to much care. All so bleak. Can we have a cheerful sermon please?
Well there's hope yet for you — but not in the places you seek. Rise beyond your self-imposed conditions. Let go of the fake identities you craft. Liberate yourself from the reactive mesh that binds you. Cheerfulness follows.
— A cheerful sermon. Mister, share with us a cheerful sermon. Your words of late are rather bleak. So full of doom and gloom.
— Well sure. What's not to like with the status quo? The profiteers are driving our world to the brink of collapse. The average individual's cognitive capacity is increasingly decreasing, self-awareness shriveling to the pits. Whatever you may try to do about it, nothing really matters, no one really cares. That's cool! Yay! Great work, everyone!
— Then is there hope yet for humanity, mister? Is there hope yet for me? Will you please dispel this looming depression in our minds?
— Now as to the world. Don't get your hopes too high up there. It doesn't take a Nostratamus to read the course of our civilization. And as to your new age prophets, hailing for a brighter world, ascension to a new paradigm. Well that's all just a load of crap promoted for profit and prestige. False hopes for you. But for you, yourself, unto yourself, there is hope yet. But not in the places you might seek.
Recognize the noose that binds you. Overcome your conditioning. No longer attached to assertions, no longer reactive, you will live in freedom. Let go of the fake identity you're crafting. Live transparent to what is. You'll live at ease, unhaunted by your contrived burdens. You'll eliminate the suffering you cause for yourself, all by yourself.
Then be ye messiahs unto yourselves, friends. Redeeming your consciousness from the mesh of your habitual conditions. Releasing the self-polarization that defined what you were in the past. And in that, you'll find yourself in alignment with what is, and with that, the best of what the world can be. And if it should all still go to hell in a handbasket, then that's alright. Grab your popcorn, let it be. You can change things where potential for change exists, but you cannot battle against the gears of time.
So yes, there is hope for you, if only you release yourself from your self-imposed conditions. You'll be cheerful when you realize that 99% of what you lamented over is hollow and void of substance. So that's a positive outlook there. Alright. Keep it real.
