we have a problem

we have a serious problem in the world today

we are a serious problem in the world today


as children we are taught to perform

how to act

now  -  instead of living  -  we are acting

playing roles


in order to sustain the role

we must repress our true nature

which means we are repressing life

and living a lie

experiencing our self as a lie

lying both to our self and others


now we are several generations deep in untrue existence


the parents are playing roles

the teachers are playing roles

the preachers are playing roles

we play roles with each other

with our friends

with our partners

with the children

with our selves


this role we are playing

this lie we are perpetuating on our self is stifling

the truth of our existence


we are creating distance between our truth

we are creating barriers between the role we are playing

(who we believe our selves to be)

and who we actually are


this leads to great conflict and pressure inside our selves

this pressure is making us sick and mean


this separation from the truth of our self

(what life created us to be)

makes us afraid


the sickness and fear and violence in our world
  is a product of our unnatural existence

and will continue to grow until we give up
  our unnatural existence


we are emotionally constipated

constantly frustrated

the conflict between our true nature and
  the role we are playing  (the lie we are living)
  leaves us no peace

the thought processes we involve our selves
  in are constantly seeking escape from the
  pain and fear and conflict and frustration

this leads to confusion


we create an endless stream of ideas of what
  we think will make us happy

we live in almost constant torment and need

all the time trying to act like we're not

we are taught to act confident

when we are not

we are taught to take control

when it was control that got us this way


life is not to be controlled

life is to be lived

to be lived and experienced openly and fully

we repress life and expect to be happy

that is insane thinking

the creatures in zoos are not happy

they were ment to be free

living their lives and taking their chances

in a free environment


thinking that we are ok when we're not

  (so called positive thinking) will only make

  our situation worse

more lies won't help

it will only lead to more disappointment and frustration

the truth of our existence is the only hope we have


awareness is not a product of thought

life is beyond what we think

and what we seem to think we feel
