The straight-jackets of humanity are socially conditioned and absolutized institutions.

And yet, all we do is suck our thumbs and watch television.  And oh yes, we play the political game, but the political game was invented by and for the elites.  Look at Obama.  Perhaps he has good intentions, but the jury is still out and probably the best we can hope for at the end of the next  four years is a decorated cage.

 

However, more importantly, even if Obama tries his best, the changes will be superficial because the core dynamics of The Beast are utterly and forever beyond the reach of “politics”. 

 

So, lots of conditionings:  marriage, religion, and the eternal Have and Have Not horror.  Which brings us back to why are we living like this?  Why are we tails wagged by institutions?

 

Clearly, the answer is the straight jacket of social conditioning.  We suck our thumbs, we don’t revolt, we beg for crumbs, because it NEVER seriously enters our minds that we can to otherwise.

 

Hence, the cusp.  If our species doesn't start being self directed INDIVIDUALS, instead of programmed cattle (locked in marriages, religions, and abject submission to The Beast), our species is doomed. 

 

The bad news is that such transcendental liberation must happen in the millions otherwise The Beast will continue to drive the human species to extinction.

 

The good news is that such liberation can (and must) happen one life form at a time. 

 

And why is this good news?  It's good news because from the point of view of each of us, such transcendence of conditioning (i.e., Liberation!) IS POSSIBLE.  It's been happening for millennia and it is happening as we speak.  The only problem is that it needs to be happening in the millions, not in the hundreds or thousands.
