Uncomfortable Questions

You know those questions that you immediately resist? The ones that feel like a threat to your very existence?

It’s rare that someone else asks you these kinds of questions. I will be that someone for you at the end of this though.

I mean those tightly held belief you’ve had your whole life. And the question is: is that belief actually true?

If that belief were not true, it would mean you have lived a large portion of your life, maybe the whole thing, under a lie. Maybe a big, BIG lie. That shit is extremely uncomfortable. You don’t even want to entertain the question. The reason is that the question is a threat to your very existence. Your identity is tied to that belief, and if that belief is false, then in a very real way, you die. Psychologically of course.

The thing is, that identity you have is not real. Whether or not the belief is true, that identity, by virtue of the fact that it is tied to a belief, is a false identity. Therefore, these questions you don’t want to face are the very most important questions.

Face them. Consider them genuinely. No one has to know. It’s all you anyway, there really is no one else. You’re all alone in this.

Face the questions. Kill your identities that are tied to those beliefs.

Then and only then can you be truly free.

Have you been deceived by the idea of a God external to yourself, to whom you pray and beg for things, and who requires an intermediary like a church/temple/priest/etc because you are such a lowly piece of shit? What if there is no God as you imagined, or as you were told, but it’s all you. No one outside of yourself is responsible for anything at all in your life, in your existence. You are responsible for everything you have ever experienced, good and bad. It is even you, and only you, who judges things as good and bad.

Do you actually want to be with your partner? Or is it just convenient and easier than the alternative?

Are you acting like an automaton, a slave to the reward centers in your brain? Constantly indulging in short-term pleasure at the expense of long-term fulfillment? Do you actually have free will or are you just being bounced around, looping endlessly?

Do you constantly defer to “experts” and all of your “opinions” are simply regurgitated spewings you consumed in your dopamine chasing endeavors?

Is it possible that you are completely WRONG about vaccines? (Whichever side you are on.)

Are you even anywhere near living up to your human potential? Why not? What exactly are you afraid of?

I can go on, but I’ll leave you with those.

To be clear, some of these questions are terrifying to me as well. They are painful. But also hilarious. What the fuck is even going on here? 😂

Those are the kinds of questions it’s important to face head on. Just fucking do it, explode all of those false identities you have. We have. We all have them. We’re human after all, immersed in this ridiculous physical realm. It’s all truly ridiculous. At the highest level it doesn’t matter even a little bit. But while we’re here, it matters a whole lot. Or maybe not, I don’t know, fuck it. I love you.
