Are you increasing your productivity? Being the best employee or creative you can be? Are you maximising your work by telecommuting from your home whenever you can? Are you forcing those 10,000 words a day from your burned out brain? Feeling soulless? Are you pushing yourself to become skilled in areas you really have no interest in because it makes your life “easier” day to day? Are you boasting about your skillset? Are you truly… agile?

Yes? Then you are a fool.

Let us start with the elephant in the room – the easy stuff; let us clarify something from the get go as an easy “in” to this overall message…

The reason business… any business… really wants you to work from home, or indeed do anything at all in relationship to them, is that it in some way increases their profits. Everything else is a careful lie. Who you really are, behind the front of your career, or your skillset, means nothing to business or indeed even art. Business nor art have feelings of their own – they are concepts. Treating them empathetically is a nonsense. These concepts have goals and agendas built from the constructs of society which they serve, but they do not care about you, they are not capable of doing so. You are a tool. A robot – they are part of the larger program.

In many instances institutions also make such options as we are discussing appear privilege or perk – even going so far as to financially pay less to those who do not want to be present in the place of work day to day, as if this is some kind of freakish desire, and not a wholly natural inclination toward actually living a life of an individual’s own choosing. It’s all a classic and ancient scam – and one led by a machine built into the fabric of our society. People are recently concerned that AI will enslave the human race… process, or perhaps “artificial dumbness” already has. That horse bolted many centuries ago. The fear mongers, and worried intellectuals of 2020 are hugely late to the worry party here. Too late by half.

Crossing the streams of work, which our society demands due to economics, and so called “home life” (and let’s be clear once more; this is your actual life we are talking about, the time you get to spend being alive and conscious, which is being sucked from you by the machine every waking and sleeping moment) is not going to help you “be a better you” (if that is even the goal, which it isn’t, but it is a good place to begin…) in the vast majority of human cases (although it may give certain types a kick in the right direction, granted…) – it’s certainly not going to help balance you – nothing so contrived will ever actually do that.

It is going to help you discharge your self-assigned responsibilities more efficiently while you wait to die. That’s it.

Is this uncomfortable for you to read? Is this your life being described?

It never has to be. You may live in a vast prison, but the key to the door is, always has been, and always will be easily within your reach if you have the courage to take it.

Society has brainwashed entire generations into valuing skills which only serve to transform them into flesh robots (which is probably a good place to start, before you start to see what is really happening you may have to become nothing at all, and that’s all you are as the programmed rat in the rat-race maze); you are sustaining your own spiritual incarceration through denying your human nature and celebrating doing so by masturbatory glorification of having done so – if you didn’t go to work ever again, what would really change? If the answer is absolutely nothing (on a big picture scale) then there is nothing to celebrate here – you’re just going through the motions as programmed, and your delusions of grandeur are a crutch for you to lean on to make this grotesque reality bearable.

Here is an example this construct prevalent in the plans and lives of billions:

Are you saving for your retirement before you can have some fun and freedom?

Yes? Then you are a fool.

When you retire you will be old – only the older understand how this change creeps; only those who live in the moment are free of this burden. You will not want what you wanted in your younger years – not even remotely. You will want far less. The opportunity to be free will have passed you by as you clock-in and make yourself an excellent robot each day until the day you are no longer the person you once were. The time to do what you want to do, fulfil your desires or explore yourself is not by any measure when you retire an embittered shell after fifty or more years of “increasing your productivity” programming.

Life is right here. Right now.

Every moment you waste not being joyful (and you can be joyful in moments of great stress and pain, it is not the same as happiness; you can take joy in simply existing in whatever state you find yourself) is a moment wasted – all life is in reality is a series of moments. That’s all you ever have. This moment. Take this example. This moment when you are reading this; being enlightened, offended or confused! Probably all three! Life!

Everything else is utter delusion – constructs and chimeras of fear conjured to ensure you do as you are bid. The worst part is still to come; it is you, and your like, that conjured these process jailers, not some external nefarious conspiracy to keep men down. There is no one to blame. Nothing to fight but the mundanity of the fear of actually “being”. A fear which makes it easier and more comfortable to ignore your nature and to conform to the constructs which surround you from the moment you are born. Constructs which have evolved slowly over time to be the slave masters of human consciousness.

Become the robot, be productive, procreate and then die.

Despite your socialisation, which has been manufactured by this vast unconscious machine to propagate precisely this confusion, this is not the natural order of things. It is upon any critical analysis… ridiculous.

The natural order of things is far simpler. It is the chaos of the moment. The right here right now.

So when you prepare for whatever it is you are doing today… ask yourself the only question you ever need really ask of anyone; what do you really want?
