Freedom From Illusions

To be successful and beautiful quitters, we must gain some freedom from illusions. For

 instance, we look down and see our stomach, and one more time notice that we are a

 body, have a body, and then remember that we are supposedly separate from things in

 general…and finally that we are just another person in a world of others and we had

 better go on and do that separate-person stuff, like making a living and hustling our

 thing whatever that is. It’s despairing.

And then we decide it’s also OK to not notice certain others because of the same

 “separate body/separate life” thing. The next thing is we see that everything else is

 also broken in every way,  and yet we act so innocent when we encounter the madness

 that follows in our objective world.

It’s almost too much to bear. And it is all based on false illusions. The reality of our

 basic situation and the responsibility required of us…all depend upon breaking

 through those false illusions and realizing that we are all really one Spirit, and that

 our general plight in the world is pretty much the same and our fate really is the same.

We are also creatures who  want happiness, creatures who have certain life needs that

 are  remarkably similar from one person to another. There is no illusion about that.

 We want security and freedom from violence, we need self respect and achievement

 and the respect bestowed on us from the outside which comes from genuine

 accomplishment.We want to think there’s some kind of meaning to our lives. We

 cherish opportunities to get that.And so I at Beautiful Quitters am here to say there

 still is a way, while we are busy grappling with all the madnesses in the world,  to get

 free and that’s by not allowing any artificial habit, contrived notion,  or “thing” to

 own us. 

We are allowing ourselves to be used the same way victims of madness are

 likewise tools in an insane grand social design. My purpose in building this website is

 to help people get free. My purpose is to help by reminding ourselves what to hang on

 to while we gradually drop our chains and our illusions of divisiveness.If you read my

 other articles you will see what I mean.
