WARNING: This blog entry may be difficult to digest. If you choose to read it, it could shake your world a little. Be sure to keep in mind that I am not sharing anything that, at some level, you do not already know. My intention is but to re-mind you that you have a choice. At all times. In every moment. The lessons is: We are all robots.
We are all robots. That is, we are, none of us, behaving with the natural, God-given rights and freedoms with which we were born. We have all been conditioned to think, act, and believe in “norms” which are not natural to our human beingness. We are all the products of a prescribed, programmed “curriculum” which tries to create submissive, self-alienated, externally-motivated automatons.
The most dehumanizing part of our robotic condition is the ignorance: we are programmed to be unaware of our circumstances, of our choices, numbed by constant and unrelenting pressures into accepting our situation. If you wish to test this position, please take the following test.
SO YOU THINK YOU’RE NOT A ROBOT?
An Test of Awareness and Perception
Were you born speaking a language? No, you learned it in order to be able to communicate and interact with others, but you also learned it in order to fit in.
Do you own or drive a car? Is this the result of a biological survival need or is it a learned behavior?
Do you own a computer?
Do you live in a house or apartment?
Do you have a television?
Do you subscribe to cable?
Do you own an iPod?
Do you own a cell phone?
Do you use the Internet?
Do you own/use a dishwasher?
Do you own/use a dryer?
Do you own/use a microwave?
Do you use money?

Have you ever eaten at a “fast food” restaurant?
Have you ever eaten at a sit down restaurant?
Do you know the source and trail of your daily food?

Have you watched more than one Super Bowl in your lifetime?
Do you call yourself “American”? Is this the result of a biological survival need or is it a learned behavior?
Do you believe you live in a democracy? Is this the result of a biological survival need or is it a learned behavior?

Did you attend school/Do you send your children to school? Is this the result of a biological survival need or is it a learned behavior?
Do you feel as if someone or something else is in control of your life?
Do you have any compulsive, addictive, anxiety-based behaviors? Is this the result of a biological survival need or is it a learned behavior?
If you have answered “yes” to any of the above questions, and “learned behavior” more often than “biological survival need,” then your conditioning has been successful: your thoughts and behaviors have been shaped and modified; you are not fully living according to the freedoms and rights with which you were born. You are a product of a programming service called “acculturation,” “socialization,” and/or “western civilization.”
