Is This Real Life?

[un-known-ome]

I took some time out of my weekend-actually all of it--to work at a special event and earn some extra pay. I've only recently turned twenty-one, so I took the opportunity to distribute alcohol. I found the work enjoyable, but also deeply troubling. Hordes of people descended upon a row of tables to purchase alcohol, paying exorbitant amounts of money for one of the most diluted/cut and cheaply manufactured forms of the drug: light beer. We went through hundreds of kegs. One of the gimmicks of the event was that every participant received a free beer, and you better believe that once participants completed the event, their next destination was the beer tent, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it was really the primary destination. People came back repeatedly for more beer, each time a little merrier than before. Once someone received his/her free beer, there was a good chance we'd serve them three or more times throughout the day. All the while, we had to ask for identification form everyone, no matter how old they appeared. They thought it was stupid and often became exasperated, but all we could offer in apology was that it was the law. Sigh. I couldn't help but remember being served as much alcohol as I could afford as a sixteen year old in Europe, and how that makes complete sense.

Additionally, all throughout my shift, other workers were allowed special breaks to smoke cigarettes, and Monster energy drink were freely available. Smoke-breaks as they call them, are when employees are allowed to stop performing their job to explicitly smoke cigarettes. What?

This weekend really put a lot of things into perspective for me and has left me in astonishment. I've known how things are, but this really drives it home for me. What is this cooperative charade that we're all playing with one another? Is this just an elaborate joke? What's really going on here? Does anyone see all of this for what it is? or are we just feigning ignorance?

Is this real life?

I think people are silly goofballs. Everyone is a mental case to some degree. Everyone has been programmed by society to behave certain ways in certain environments.
As you get older you'll have more opportunity to see folks behave in ways that will make you laugh, cry, they will infuriate you, or astonish you with generosity and love. People are very complex beings but we sometimes behave in simple, petty ways.
As I've aged, I've become more tolerant of others in some ways, in other ways, less tolerant.
Life is real. I think more so than we can actually perceive. Maybe we live forever.
I wish my mind was capable of obsorbing more.
I think the most important thing is to try to live in the moment, and be in awe of the gift of being alive and just experiencing life!

Just wait till you work for a corporation. Corporations make millions upon millions of dollars, their CEO's get bonus checks that can be more than what your total income in your life time will be. And these companies make the products everyone uses. To make these products the employee's need tools. These tools cost money, the less money they spend on tools the more money they can spend on boats and fast cars. So they buy cheap tools that suck. A lot of times they also penny pinch on the products materials. Which makes your products suck.

I help make jet engine parts for major companies like Boeing and GE. Get my drift?

Get my drift?

Schools and the teaching/learning industry. They are cutting the people who assist people that have learning difficulties since they "do not have enough money" where I live.

Everything is weird but it might be just that we are becoming more and more degenerated all the time due to the garbage we are eating. Eating junkfood does not build a body of great functioning. For more info check www.leftinthdark.org.uk for the link with food and the brain.

It is hard to see it first but when you begin to see it... It is like a secret everyone wants to keep hidden, women uses makeup men use social conditioning for being how it is.

Why would anyone code a code of DNA for example the face to be skewed up and the sides not identical... the functions are the same right? Why would anyone design something inefficient if it would not be for the reason that the coder is not able to do its job very well...

The miracle is that you have the gift of being able to recognize this- most are blindly caught up in the whole charade. You will live your life as a minority- one who "gets it" among hordes of sheeple. But we still have to mix with the world. Helps to keep a sense of humor about things.

for every positibe there is a negative as they say. now were all consciousness, everything you can see, feel, smell, touch,taste and hear is consciousness. There is also negative consciousness. they are the illuminati, freemasons and other ssecret societies which rule our world supposedly. they are like what a cancer or infecgtion is to your body. They infect other consciouse biengs to become un-consciouse. They do this from birth with the garbage food they sell you in fastfood shops, all the proccesed food etc, the tv with lady gaga, rihanna, lil wayne etc, with education they teach you nothing about your mind or consciousness, throgh media and tv they put negativity, fear and doubt in your mind which is the secret invisible prison they put you in. the natural human state is to be happy and complete and present, but they make a system for you where from younge age you spend your time and mind on how to become a slave in the future and fit in this system so you have no time or interest to know you and your mind and consciousness, that becomes unimprtant for you because now from all the tv you watched just like evryone els in society people wnat to chase the worthless materialist goals and gains, and once you follow that youll be trapped in the game always following next thing. So people dont know how to be happy or in good mood all they know is when they take drugs and alcohol they feel good and thats something people learn at young age these days. so alot of people you were serving are people trapped in this system so when they have time free from slaving they want consume substances which alters their minds and makes them feel better, not realising at what cost or whats really going on. so yes there is something really wrong.

That's what happens when you put fluoride in the drinking water!

Or not. But we're a funny species, though a weird freak side-show spin-off known in some circles as the Discordian Society holds that the Devil (whose real name is "Bob" according to a different sect we don't associate with) has been taking cabbages and dressing them up as human beings, amongst other dirty tricks. This sort of behavior (the robot-like behavior you're lucky to observe) makes a lot more sense to us (intellectually) after reading through Robert Anton Wilson's work, particularly Prometheus Rising, though RAW seems to suggest that we all behave more or less robotically, but only a small and fortunate part of the species actually realizes that. He, and others, such as G Gurdjieff, suggest there are ways to become less robotic, as well.

to the op: what is the point of your post?

Not because YOU understood, that you can then judge everybody. Everything is you dude, so try to love everyone around you, because its you. The error they are making, you already done those error as well. Not everyone has have the luck to do psychadelic and finally understand certain jey point of our existence. You are lucky, consider yourself happy to know better then others, but dont go and judge them and think everybody are retards and they live in a false state of minde. Everybody know its all wrong, the human conscience is starting to realize, give everyone the time to adjust.

Love you and you will love everything because everything is you. Therefore, love and then you may show to others what you are they think they are not: love.

You are everything. you can decide to hate them, or try to understand them and show them the way. You can choose to love or hate, and you seem to choose the negative part, and thats all I want to point out.

Life is your game, your gift. Your conscience is the possibilities. It gives you infinite. You can choose to suffer or to love and be happy. Everytime you cant accept who you are, you decide to suffer. Just accept life as it is, accept you as you are, and others will understand.
