You are a vessel for your genetic code and this thing
inside which you call ‘you’ is a gimmick and an illusion. This isn’t in any way
negative - although it is very necessary to accept it as reality in order to
lead a fulfilled life.
It is easy to think that you are in control of your body but
are you?
If you move your arm you don’t have to think “move” in
order for it to work; it just happens. So does that voice in your head have any
actual power? Sure you have the ability to take your own life, but is that
control? Or is that your body controlling ‘you’?
In fact you are your body. I accept that the decisions I
make are, in the end, a product of my nature; which all boils down to the
continuity, by reproduction, of the genetic code I carry.
This puts life into perspective for me. It doesn’t take
anything away from the wealth of human experience but it does contradict this
idea of importance that humanity has imbued itself with.
And spirituality is at the top of the list; the idea that
we transcend our physical bodies becomes meaningless and actually gives us a
greater purpose.
You are a being that is capable of experiencing pleasure
and suffering. Once you understand the root cause of these sensations you can
stop kidding yourself that there is fantastical meaning in life; the only
meaning comes from nature.
So stop wasting time putting your faith in crap and
connect with the world around you.
