Declare Your Own Freedom Today!
Our sense of need predisposes us to slavery.
The false belief, for instance, that we need the affection, attention, admiration, and acceptance of others programmes us to crave for these ephemeral things. This craving then empowers others, by default, to control, manipulate, and enslave us.
In reality, what you ‘think you need’ and what ‘you really need’ are two different things. One refers to perception, the other refers to truth. The moment you misplace the two, you are doomed to a life of insecurities and bondage to the whims and caprices of others.
For instance, do you need sound health, or ‘good health insurance’? Just think about this for a moment. If you have sound health, you will never have to spend a dime on drugs and hospital bills. On the other hand, you could have the most expensive health insurance, but if you lack sound health, it all sums up to nothing.
What manipulative marketing does is simply to create a virtual confusion in your mind between true and artificial needs. This is done by equating for instance ‘adequate health insurance’ with ‘sound health’.
Once this psychological gymnastic is accomplished and you buy into the perversion, hypnosis occurs and you lose your freedom.
The resultant effect is a complex network of slavery that spans the entire spectrum of your existence. For instance, the insurance provider begins to earn a living from your neurosis. Their CEO can now fly around in a corporate jet and enjoy all kinds of executive perks because of your hoodwinked sense of perception.
Google, for instance makes billions of dollars yearly because most bloggers and internet marketers still can’t get over their hypnotic fascination with the whole SEO and social media facade.
I discovered that I too can make millions online, but not by following any of the carefully edited formulas making a round of the internet, social media, and blogging circuit. I found the true formula tucked away within the innermost recesses of the originality, uniqueness, ingenuity, and courage of my own soul.
When your Maker created you, he programmed into you everything you will need to achieve phenomenal and unprecedented success. But you cant locate these mysterious treasures if all you do is to lazily swallow all the recipes of crafty men hook, line, and sinker.
Master manipulators (my personal acronym for 21st century market experts) know this and that’s why they set up so much noise and flurry of activities designed to engage all your reflective faculties, so as to prevent you from doing any kind of independent and original thinking – a phenomenon I’ve also observed within religious circles.
It is possible to attain liberty, but the pathway is through your own soul – the ability to discern the difference between genuine need, and phantomic ones. Purge your soul of all artificial wants!
Obviously, this is no easy task, but it can be achieved.
I value my freedom a lot, particularly the freedom to think my own thoughts, reach my own independent conclusions, and follow only paths that resonate with my innermost being.
As Bob Marley sang a while ago, ‘Emancipate yourself from mental slavery none but ourselves can free our own minds…’
Before you gulp down another cup of silly products, market lies, and guru gimmicks, think… Is it really true? Will this work for me? Do I really need this?
Cultivate a good dose of healthy old fashioned scepticism and declare your own freedom today!
