Accustomization is the killer of the self-willing being, for accustomization has trained the human mind to operate, function, and compute in a systematized, routed mechanism. Were its comfortable routine deleted, the mind would malfunction, would in a word, crash. This seems to be a flaw in our current system of Humanity. Where legacy has become tradition, tradition has evolved into accustomization, and accustomization resists any change or deterrent of its logic for being and action. This, in turn, transforms the idea of Self into an Ego, a computing mechanism, in constant search of data input (consumption), that data being from its accustomized environment. The Self as an input-output, garbage-in-garbage-out system, using the notion of past, present, and future data as instruments of an external “Will,” which the Ego behaves as consumer, laborer, wife, husband, teacher, or some other label of a role.

If a being were willed by some extrinsic force, such as Law, duties, or rights, or the State, or Government or Religion, or beliefs, it is a slave to that force for it possesses no will of its own, it is merely an object of inertia. However, each Human being be inherently self-willed (for remember, the external will is an illusion believed real through accustomization), so must volunteer to the extrinsic force. Must surrender its potential will to an external “force”, be that state, government, policy, advertising, consumerism, nationalism, paper, or some other identity.

When two or more beings encounter one another it is literally a nuclear reaction, a creation of massive amounts of potential, kinetic, and static energies that are conveyed through memory to create other nuclear reactions (encountered with other people). The tautology of such encounters is what makes a time line, a substitute point of reference to which the self can readjust its coordinates into what has already passed. Thus, an atomic structure upon a grid; an electromagnetic field of possible probabilities, a Society.

An economy utilizes Game Theory to strategize the least amount of probabilities, to force a preservation of order out of an otherwise natural tendency of entropy. The Game Theory, the strategy must be conceived in the future, to happen in the past, to occur in the future previously conceived. This makes a “civilized” society, safe for all to inhabit, and a small possibility of the “civilians” becoming uncontrollable as they jostle to and fro. Accustomization, such as, rituals, ceremonies, social institutions, conventions, traditions, functions as a way to structure people, or control them, or regulate the potential energy of the routed mechanism (i.e., the civilian, or citizen, or externally-willed human being).

The ideas of state, government, authority, boss, inferior, superior, wife, husband, teacher, or other labels of roles can be said to be nothing more than illusions. Delusions of grandeur in the mind of the computing mechanism (the Ego). The energy created through accustomization is stored in the mind, where the engine of ideas motivates it to move (the external will). As such, the ideas of state, government, authority, boss, inferior, superior, wife, husband, teacher, or other labels of roles can be said to be nothing more than illusions. Delusions of grandeur in the mind of the computing mechanism (the Ego).The energy is used to occupy the mind, and nothing else. For what else could energy created through routine acts repeated (like trying to pound a memory into reality) all day, every day of life be used? It’s only purpose seems to be to run the machine (carbon-based, also know as, human) through the daily rituals, and the Ego (the storage of that energy) works to give the machine an illusion of performing some otherwise meaningful act.

What is most baffling, how can there exist a people that is said to fear and deny death (or the terminus, or limits of its present existence) yet consume and believe in illusions unto morbidity seemingly without fear or denial of limit? As if to throw limit, and boundaries out the door, to spit in the eye of Death? That is said to fear unknown, yet pushes its body into and beyond the unknown as if it “knew no bounds,” as if it would never die? Saving up moments of Life today, as if a perpetual future of tomorrows will one day come? Who believe as if today is merely a waiting room for tomorrow, and that accustomizations and silly ceremonies performed today shall be accounted for?

There is not safety in illusions, there is not peace in ignorance, nor security in higher fences and bigger locks. I would rather live, than behave as if I am never going to die.

“While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.” ~Leonardo Da Vinci

Nice!

Would you be so kind as to read my Will and the True Absence of Fear? I believe it is along these lines and we draw interestingly similar conclusions.

Will and the True Absence of Fear

Thank you suggesting I read your Will and the True Absence of Fear. I must say that we have drawn very similar conclusions.
