Ego And Death Conditioning

Ego and death conditioning are two things I feel are quite preventative in determining some sort of truth and enlightenment often. And I feel that the modern western world provides nourishment for the ego to grow bulbous with the ‘need’ that is turning us into apathetic creatures forever growing comfortable as we tend to our growing list of insecurities, and then searching for more ‘need’ in light of the fact we are creatures of habit, and need is becoming our most sought after habit when words and terms are removed, and what is left are simply things we believe we desire, and that the requirements to obtain those things are becoming more accessible as convenience makes it so.

First of all I guess I should elaborate on what these terms mean and a bit about how they’re becoming ensuing realities.

‘Death Conditioning’ is a term I first heard the English Writer Aldous Huxley use in his most popular novel ‘Brave New World. His inspiration for the term corresponds with his views on how he saw American Culture playing out over the coming century, and how ‘over everything’ will be contextualized during this accelerated rate of change by ‘mass information’, and that it wouldn’t be limited amounts of information that restricts us, but tonnes of information that makes us incapable, and unable not to rely on all the shit they’re selling us to seemingly comprehend and exist in the world. And how we could very easily be conditioned to think certain ways as the overriding consequence of this mass info.

Because in essence information is quite simply everything we’re exposed to, from music we listen to, to the conversations on the bus, to the meal that someone’s felt the need to photograph and show the world on their facebook page, to the news that’s telling us how bad we’re doing. Literally everything that passes through your brain in some way is the information I’m talking about. Only now there’s more of it than ever, and it’s all being grouped together and compiled on the same lists.

Another quote I remember hearing from Huxley is basically something along the lines of ‘As populations increase there will be more complicated arrays of bureaucracy to accommodate this increase’. Reading between the lines, and looking into this quote a little deeper, I believe that one such variable of our over complicated lives is the necessity to implode on any sort of human instinct for survival by making everything in our lives easier, and in turn seemingly attempting to remove us from nature.

Different philosophers have defined the term ‘Ego’ in several different ways, but in the confines of argument for this case it is simply how someone views themselves, and how the way they act, and the decisions they make are derivative of how they wish to then be represented to others.

I want to link the ‘ego’ now to death control, and how very basic things of minimal danger (in the grand scheme of things) will become over guarded, smeared, vilified and then controlled so to speak by superfluous boundaries, accommodated and cherry picked in a selective way by our mainstream ‘culture’. This culture as we see it now is egotistical and promotional of ridiculing alternatives (everything you see any commercially successful new age celebrity doing and then getting slated for has existed in alternative culture for way longer in a far more informative context like all of these

things that suddenly become fashionable that were once poignant and informative observations of the things popularity has made them become). It has thus made people narrow minded and susceptible to entering this centralized channel of thought that only serves the norm.

Looking into this idea further I feel that it is juxtaposed with our pursuit of convenience, comfort and safety, which are intrinsic to this idea of death control. And how it seems far easier for most people to embrace.

I reckon that the origins of the above are subliminal by products of our continued accommodation for religion in the 21st century which has made us so highly preventative and prohibitive as a society.

I am simply someone who may only leave an impression on someone through the scattered thought of a dream of any people shifting through the street in a haze.

And now it is the section of the article to speak about the excellent taboo subject of organized religion, the mass centralized thought control implemented by humans to subvert any argument, veiled by the uncertain question of death.

Let's compare the mind of religion, and how it is comparable to other collapsed vein thought processes, tunnelling towards the end result of viewing disparity where there is none, and comprehension backed with vague general ideas and experiences of mysticism.

Until quite recently in the human timeline, and before information was massively circulated through all the good and bad ways and processes (Media, the internet, books available on a large scale etc) it was fairly easy for people living a life within a small periphery, and without much experience beyond that periphery to believe that the nature of their existence, and the code from which to live by was a product of a god, and the teachings and guidance of that god followed correctly would result in some great afterlife etc etc etc.

And then once this was possible it was then easy for religion to control that person by providing that person with context, and to feed that illiterate person, with no questions to ask of the looming, jaded reality. To feed them with a new reality from which to view the world from in exchange for undivided attention, and to never break the teachings of that religion, so help thy god of the eye that sits above the hierarchy of power from the dollar bill (Check that shit with the eye of providence).

And thus the birth of state sponsored schizophrenia was born, and it was possible to develop and embellish every human feeling, and then in turn massage their ego, to make them please an invisible central figure that is to be adorned and pleased the same as a 'king' or a 'flag' in the eyes of a nationalist in contrast. Religion is not the only instrument of control. But anyone who worships something unquestionably, or with dogmatic, unending insistence in the 'truth' is missing the truth and the unending search for question with answer searching real life answer, and not answer without question

I've digressed again, but there ya go :)
