Apologize
Apologize very small so I do these fucking things to you know
So all they say so what is the natural to these people is very unnatural is what I'm trying to say
And in speaking with my Polish housemate with we spoke about the radar of caution and
in the younger generation now
post
Millennial post-millennials they don't have them
You know and it's because we don't have you know these
elements
Human nature over time
conforms to
The ingredients has been given
The olden societies were a societies of like simple and honest living
Simple and honest living where in comfort danger was always kept at the back of the mind
but now
Comfort even comfort has been weaponized, you know
And it goes back to the human nature. What is it that allows people to be awake and see things or see these things?
And what is it that allows people to not?
Conversely
What is it that allows people to not only know but to act upon what they see
And that's a very difficult thing. It's true
Not everyone has the mind for it
Not just in acting upon like what you know, but in
In learning or absorbing these things goes
These things are heavy on the mind it's heavy on the spirit
It's part of the hero's journey
But the first step is always the hardest because when you step into that
Journey
From the get-go the sacrifice has to be made
You can't serve two masters and in speaking with a Jamaican
Gentleman today he said the same thing
And the people don't know they are being weaponized by deep programming cultural programming
Without knowing its origins and its pathways and its many variations and where it's going and
how it's being controlled and
further kind of like refined into
Being passed down to the next generation and it can only get worse, you know
It's deep my conclusion is this
Deep down inside of people there's
The potential
But the potential gets lost along the way either through you know external forces or
You know internal perversion
If the perversion is deep and wide and broad it's very hard to reverse
But
If the perversion has not really sunk its roots too deeply into the
Hearts of men
Or the hearts of the people there's a chance to turn it around
And humanity has had many many opportunities
To come to that crossroad with all the crises that have happened before
In the last hundred years two hundred three hundred
Five hundred a thousand years wherever, you know
Still the same and in speaking with my Polish housemate I
Realized deep down in the Polish people they worry is
so automatically
these people are defiant and
It's good to know there's a
group of a
nation of people
that have not given up the
Sense of caution and I do believe Confucius said this
And I think it's somewhere in the Yi in the in the I Ching I think it's a
Either in hexagram 47 oppression one oppression or
Hexagram 39 limping or some shit like I can't remember but Confucius said this was supposedly a
Man in comfort must must remember danger
You know and of course a man in danger must remember hope
I'm paraphrasing
But now when I look upon things and look upon the people and look upon like the way
life is
especially in the in the metropolitan kind of like
Bobbles all that shit's been shut down
So I don't blame the people
Especially my true the friends. I'm about to cut a fart right here. Oh shit. That was a silent one
I was hoping I was hoping it would make some noise
anyway
All my true the friends that I've met along the way since you know coming to terms with the whole convict shit
And a lot of people have dropped off from my sphere or I've moved away or I used to blame them. I
Don't anymore
I used to blame them because if you're not part of the solution you part of the problem
That's how I used to think
Now
And I thank my Polish housemate and the Jamaican
All the gentlemen that reminded me in the last couple of days
You just got to leave them to it, but it's hard man because knowing like
What is going down? How can you leave people to?
Just stand in the line of fire
Try to shake people out their black store their black cloud
Hell holes and they don't want to come out you give people your time and you hope you have high expectations for yourself
In serving these people and in the end they
They don't need your help
That's life, you know
You don't want your help. That's all right. That's life, you know
But the sadness
That fills you right here
So I asked these two people my housemate and
The old Jamaican gentlemen what what can we do man like I'm a youngster your you guys are old
You know the new world is for us
To try to navigate it doesn't belong to us, but the new world belongs to like these
Matrix system people in the system world, but what do we do man? How do we how do we how do we navigate this, you know
And the answer from these two gentlemen is
It's difficult to plan
But we have to try and navigate as best we can and the remedy
Not just the legal remedy but the remedy in
trying to
tap back into the proper
Natural instincts or the natural elements or the natural aspects of a person
Has to go back to that. I mean the easiest entry point would be the cultural
Aspects like you know every time I speak to my Polish housemate. He comes out the whole
Truth kind of like
Crisis ease from the war side of things. That's how he was brought up. That's his culture
You know, that's the Polish culture. They've been they've been warriors and fighters like a long time
You know
That's just one example
So living our cultures and going back to our cultures is the perfect entry point
Maybe you find yourself in another country
Maybe you were born in that country or you moved to that country and now you got to integrate
Never forget who you are
Never forget where you come from
Never forget your origins
And your cultural story these things are important
They're trying to tear us apart
By giving us a new cultural identity
Which is the metropolitan system life, you know, if you watch my la la land video I speak about this so
As I get older as I said I see things more clearly
Because I learned I know about the principles of this world I don't exactly know
Where things are gonna go and it matters not because the world theater has nothing to do with me
But if I can help a few people
Get out of this mess, that'd be great
If I can't I just got a chalk, you know, like chalk it up to
The programming taking precedence
Borges once wrote I want to read you something before I leave
Let's see
We're gonna we're gonna go to labyrinths
The lottery in Babylon like all men in Babylon I
Have been pro-concial
Like all a slave I
Have also known on lipid tense
Appropriate
imprisonment
Look
The index finger on my right hand is missing
Look through the rip in my cape you can see a vermilion tattoo on my stomach
It is the second symbol beth
This letter on nights when the moon is full gives me power over men whose mark is gimmel
But it subordinates me to the men of Aleph
Who on moonless nights all obedience to those marks with gimmel
In the light of dawn in a cellar. I have cut the jugular vein of sacred bulls before black stone
During a lunar year. I have been declared invisible. I
Shouted and they did not answer me
I stole bread and they did not behead me. I
Have known what the Greeks do not know
in
certitude
In a bronze chamber before the silent handkerchief of the strike of the strangler
Hope has been faithful to me as a panic in the river of pleasure
I owe this almost atrocious
Variety to an institution
Which other republics do not know or which operates in them in an imperfect and secret manner?
the lottery I
Have not looked into its history. I know that the wise man cannot agree. I
Know of its powerful purposes what a man who is not versed in astrology can know about the moon. I
Have thought as little about it as I have about the conduct of indecipherable divinities or about my heart
Now far from Babylon
And it's beloved customs
I think with a certain amount of amazement about the lottery and about the blasphemous
Conjectures which veiled men murmur in the twilight
My father used to say that formerly a
Matter of centuries of years
The lottery in Babylon was a game of plebeian character
He recounted. I don't know whether rightly or not that barbers sold in exchange for copper coins
Squares of bone or parchment adorned with symbols
Ice cream truck ice cream truck ice cream
In broad daylight a drawing took place
Those who won receive received silver coins
Without any other test of luck
The system was elementary as you can see
Naturally these lotteries failed their moral virtue was nil
They were not directed at all of man's faculties, but only of hope
In the face of public indifference the merchants who founded these venal lotteries began to lose money
Someone tried to reform
The interpolation of a few unfavorable tickets in the list of favorable numbers
By means of this reform the buyers of numbers squares ran the double risk of winning a sum and of paying a fine
That could be considerable
This slight danger
For every 30 favorable numbers there was one unlucky one awoke as is natural the interest of the public
The Babylonians threw themselves into the game
those who did not acquire chances were considered
Pusillanius
Pusillanius cowardly
In time that justified disdain was doubled
Those who did not play were scorned
But also the losers who paid the fine were scorn
The company as it came to be known then had to take care of the winners who could not cash in their prizes
If almost the total amount of the fines were unpaid
It started a lawsuit against the losers the judge condemned them to pay the original fines and
costs or spent several days in jail
Or chose jail, you know this to defraud the company
The bravado of a few is the source of the omnipotence
of the company and of its metaphysical power
You might be confused as fuck thinking what did you just read to me?
Borges
wrote the short story called the lottery in Babylon
Which speaks about a game a lottery game that exists in that fictional
Place of Babylon where people in that world is forced to play this game
In order to survive and be someone
Sometimes they win
Sometimes they lose either way they're gonna pay
But yet they feel this is natural
Yet they feel this is right
To keep this game up this rigged game from the start
Some even sell their children their wives their husbands just for that square of bone
That lucky number
How many of us?
Get the number we want
And those that play that game the lottery of Babylon
We don't realize we are the numbers
The squares of bone
That's fate being sealed
Why am I sharing this story with you?
Maybe using this parable
We might be able to get out of this game. What do you think?
And by getting out of this whole fucking stupid game
We go back to our natural
Natural instincts and the perfect entry point
Back to our origins
