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 theyre 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 wouldnt 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 theyre 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 were exposed to,
from music we listen to, to the conversations on the bus, to the meal that
someones felt the need to photograph and show the world on their facebook
page, to the news thats telling us how bad were doing. Literally everything that
passes through your brain in some way is the information Im talking about. Only
now theres more of it than ever, and its 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 :)
