The people who run society are engaged in bringing systems and structures into interlocking alignment, in order to create larger and larger machines of control.
I keep returning to this territory, because the whole thrust of modern civilization is making the individual extinct.
Powerless, badly educated, adrift in technology, viewed as a unit tied to a massive collective—this is the picture of the individual.
Let’s go back to square one. The individual is fundamentally at odds with the State. The State wants control. The State wants loyalists, adherents, joiners, conformists. The individual wants freedom, if he has any inkling of his own power.
The basic makeup of the State is promoted as a We. We want this. We need this. We deserve this. We all agree on this. The ubiquitous We is floated on purpose. The aim is to eradicate the I. The individual.
The State wants all arguments to center on what We should get. Should We be given this or that? Should We have A or B? What is best for We?
This is where all the trouble starts.
The State is not going to solve that trouble because it is creating it.
On the other hand, the individual who is free knows what he wants. Or can discover it. Sooner or later, he realizes that most of the people around him aren’t free. Those people have embedded themselves so deeply in We that they can’t see outside it. The very idea of being free is meaningless to them.
So be it.
Ultimately, when all the bets are in, when all the chips are laid down on the table, the State’s game is all about We. That’s how the game is rigged.
The individual is ruled out.
The roulette wheel spins, but it doesn’t matter which slot the ball falls into. No slot is labeled “individual.”
And I’m not just talking about the State. Any large organization works in the same way.
So the free individual has to take his future in his own hands.
First, he has to conceive that he does have a future apart from We.
Then he has to imagine what that future could look like. He has to invent the future he wants.
What’s called “the spiritual” is not independent from what I’m talking about here. How the free individual imagines his future and then goes after inventing it is very much a spiritual exploration. Why? Because the individual is more than a bio-machine. Knowing that, he conceives of a future which is more than lowest-common-denominator physical needs.
In my collection, Exit From The Matrix, I include dozens of imagination exercises and techniques I developed, based on a study of ancient Tibet, and my work with hypnotherapist Jack True. The whole purpose of those exercises is: the individual returns to himself and his power.
Not the We. The I.
The entire planet is turning into a cult, which I call: “What Already Exists.” As opposed to the individual inventing what he most profoundly wants to exist.
What Already Exists is mostly structures and systems. To the degree a person feels his life should be lived inside a structure, he is going to refrain from imagining the future he truly wants.
In fact, the whole notion of “truly wants” is going to shrink and vanish from his mind.
But that notion is the key.
The key to his freedom and creative power.

What has been called The Matrix is a series of layers. These layers compose what we call Reality. Reality is not merely the consensus people accept in their daily lives. It is also a personal and individual conception of limits. It is a perception that these limits are somehow built into existence. But this is not true.
What I’ve done here is remove the lid on those perceived limits. This isn’t an intellectual undertaking. It’s a way to open up space and step on to a new road, with new power.

The Carbon Phantasm
Harper Eliot
What is this carbon phantasm of love
Where life is but a fleeting wonder
Illumined by the glorious stars above
Featuring mad mankind driven asunder.
I marvel as the butterfly takes flight
A moment greater than all the poets awe
As day turns into night
And we contemplate the mortal maw.
Mystery of Mysteries!
Did something really come from nothing
Carrying all those bloody pages of history
Or are the angels with us bluffing?
Are we no more than protozoans of hate?
On a tiny world that no one fancies
A celestial petri dish with a terminal fate
Heads filled with immortal fantasies.
Each day a precious drop of eternity
A miracle in each moment unfolding
A rare slice of infinity
In the theater of beauty beholding.
Where are your wings with which to fly
Beyond the nets of cruel Urizen
They sprout with each new tear we cry
Lifting us above hell’s horizon.
And when the dogwood drops its flowers
Such a delicate affair,
A miracle show put on by higher powers
As the children next door play without care.
What a spectacle are the gifts of Sophia
Whose emanation has so blessed us
With the gifts of lush green Gaia
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
What of that lusty blossom
That dances provocatively outside the kitchen window
Food for our resident possum
Shade for some scary black widow.
Dear Sophia shines through every moment
Teasing us with her charming ways
Easing our mortal torment
Gilding the frame of our beautiful days.
Why do we not see the miracle before our eyes
That paints the very atmosphere
And illuminates our dreary lives
Giving our hearts a great shout of cheer!
Did you see that waving blade of grass
Winking with morning dew
Beyond the utterances crass
Of doppelgangers like me and you.
And as we tarry on hell’s carapace
Let us see the beauty beyond time
That shines from each and every face
Igniting the heart fire sublime.
Each moment our escape clause to eternity
That beckons us into it’s loving womb
To join that lost maternity
That quells the winds of mortal doom.
God, that’s beautiful.
Eternity doesn’t beckon…we are already there.
Well, truly almost all of humanity has by now joined the cult of “What Already Exists.” It is a matter of extreme urgency that more and more of us devote time every day to imagining the reality that we really want. I have come to realize that this kind of imagining is actually very difficult for most people to do, perhaps because our imaginative faculties have become atrophied, much like a seldom used muscle. This is an enormous global problem that goes almost entirely unrecognized. Thank you for this post — it is my favorite of yours to date.
Awesome! INDIVIDUALISM is POWER! INDIVIDUALISM is SELF-POWER! The WE state group douchebags are afraid of INDIVIDUALISM! They are scared shitless, hahahaha! To HELL with the state, they are losers. We indivudualists are WINNERS. Hahahahahaha. it’s called “I AM”. Imagination is GOD, therefore I AM GOD! I AM IMAGINATION! I CREATE THE LIFE I WANTS, NOT WHAT they wants. I WANTS. NOT THEM. ME! I AM POWER! I AM STRONG! I AM GOD! I AM! This is the name of GOD! I AM that I AM! I AM INDIVIDUAL! I AM FREE! I AM LIBERTY! I AM FREEDOM! This is the POWER that they all HATES, all their petty rules and regulations and limited thinking, and limited imagination and limited lives… how poor they are! Ha ha ha ha ha! Us INDIVIDUALISTS are WINNERS!
I want most: a system, status (state), structure, organism where all together can be together and themselves and together by being themselves.
What you, Jon, are talking here about is just a simple negation of an specialty, singularity that provokes (because there is always more than one singularity, and because its a singularity its a relationless singularity) an Unity, a Monolith, a dead all inclusive One (that calculates the different ir-relations of the singularities combined with 0).
But one is for sure certain: This is everything else but a State! Its the direct opposite and corruption and reduction of the State.
As little as such singularity (1) and singularities (1111111…) is and are Individuals, Sovereignty.
So what we need is a state of combined sovereignties that as such builds a perfect sovereignty and can not undermine this presupposition.
So, what I want most is such a State and such Individuals
freed of personal singular corruption (non excess to individuality) and freed from overall state corruption, that makes it a non state, a children eating and from this eating living monster.
