SHACKLES OF LIE

SHACKLES OF LIE
There is a difference of only one letter"f" between life and Lie, that is ironic.



You need money, which is a creation of the system. You need to behave as the system directs you to be a part of the system. You are not allowed to exit the system; you must fit into the system. If you want to live up to the system/fit into the system, you need money.<-- Now read the sentences backwards.

-The Loop

The world is screaming Freedom, and the leaders claim to have provided the pinnacle of it. Capitalizing on sheer ignorance of people has been the ultimate tool of controlling the masses while deluding them into thinking that they have been provided with freedom. While freedom is the only thing that is being mined away from them.

YOU ARE CHAINED TO SOMETHING THAT WILL EVENTUALLY EXPIRE WITH YOU EXPIRING. UNLESS OTHERWISE.



Lie after Lie after Lie is the new recipe, and you are the one consuming the final product of this recipe- a food full of filth, humiliation and degradation of identity.

I heard a man say- “I want to marry another man, this is a free country- who I marry is my choice.”
I simply say- If I created a cheese sandwich for which I paid- one buck for bread and another for the cheese, I have (maximum) authority and ownership over it. If someone in a remote village created the same without your knowledge and miles apart from you. Can you declare your OWNERSHIP over it and right to do anything with that sandwich. No, It would be extremely vague and legally punishable.

So, you have NOT/could not make Yourself.
You did not/could not feed yourself.
You did not/could not learn from yourself.
You were not nourished by yourself.

When your existence came into being, your were nourished and provided for from that which you have not created either.

Then how in the world does one come to the conclusion of ownership of their lives?
What is it that you have done? Could you plan what you do now from the influence of society when you were nothing but a “cell” in a DROP?

But that is another discussion in totality, the real question is- while you live with this LIE that you are the owner of yourself, that it was you who nourished yourself through these years-
Ask this to yourself- Are you really FREE?

Let’s breakdown this concept of freedom-
In a developed country, a new born baby is dressed in nothing less than branded clothes. Clothes are decided by any company which succeeds in advertising over its other competitors and successfully positions itself as the safe, socially high class and comfortable choice for a baby.

This tender age of learning is governed by HOURS and HOURS of television and music.



Television is FULL of two things-
1)      They want you to think what they want you to think and
2)      They want you to think what they want you to think.

Before the baby knows about anything he has already stored Colgate somewhere in his brain, Lux is endorsed in his mind, iPhone etc. The strategy to sell for the next 30 years has been devised and customers recruited during this tender age. While these advertisements play in between, songs of love, sex, violence and evil are fed into their heads. Parent see the baby so dearly engrossed into T.V and smile about it, little do they know that it is them who does not understand the music while the baby is storing everything in his record system(brain). He may not know what it means now, but 10-15 years later he will associate his life and words with what was created at that time.

The next step is the tender age of 6-10. Parents are dressing their children in clothes exactly like teen stars on television. Modesty is slowly perishing.

You already know about all this- Lets fast forward.
The young/youth age of 16-30 :

Basically, men want the women open and uncovered for them. It’s not something they can remove from their instinct but they can control their desires if they try. The urge in men will remain, because it is needed in both (men and women) to continue the survival of mankind (Human beings) but it can be controlled by men/women if moral values are instilled in them. But that urge is not just the thing-

Women/men dress to conform to the society standards and to attract men/women at large[consciously and unconsciously].The fault is NOT with women nor is it of men. But few people sitting at the top of business must keep their business alive and they will go to any extent to achieve it.

Men will go head over heels for beautiful women-
So most of the products that men need- are sold with a little bit of women.

Ever been to a man’s favorite toy exhibit?
AUTO EXPO?



Women dressed in something that looks like opaque cello-tape or few handkerchiefs and extreme make-up. Hand-picked models showcasing the cars? Hoarding next to the car saying- The new ride is here. Guess who is holding the Board?

The girl who does not know much about the car, they are just there to keep the people into thinking that if they buy this car, they will have a girl like her. Once you ask questions about the engine and other things another person walks up with glasses on his/her face and an engineering college degree to back him/her up or great sales record.

Why is she selling if she doesn't know much about the product at all? What is she selling?
Curves and a beautiful face?

Does she really want to sell that part of her?
NO! She does not.

But she needs to live up to her friends, society, peers, other models, handbags, phones, shoes, one-piece dress, earrings, make-up etc…..she needs money for all that.

It is a loop- You need money, which is a creation of the system. You need to behave as the system directs you to be a part of the system. You are not allowed to exit the system; you must fit into the system. If you want to live up to the system/fit into the system, you need money. It starts and ends with “you need money”.

It is not just a LOOP, it’s a perfect loop.

Have you seen what Poverty does to people ?
Is poverty a result of lack of water, food, shelter and electricity?
No, it is the lack of paper(money) in the pockets. ~ Interesting.

No wonder India produces so much food(high quality) and yet highest death rate due to under nourishment.
No wonder the richest lands are the lands of Africa and YET the poorest half of the world. Poor because they don’t have enough paper(money) to buy or grow food. Yet India exports enormous quantities of rice and Africa attracts enormous wild life thrill seekers.

The system and fashion drives the kind of appearance one keeps of himself.

Chained to SYSTEM!

The real problem with a system is that it is NEVER consistent-EVER!
It keeps falling apart and adding new features and deleting old features. The things we like to associate with (materialistic) die out eventually or the users have perished themselves.

Basically, something that is designed to keep us busy until we are dead.So, where is this is so called FREEDOM?

The night Clubs are full of men who are dressed more and women who are dressed less, it is a space for insulting women to the level that their worth is only in what they are able to show. Almost all such clubs will not work if the special free drinks/free passes etc . are not provided to women to attract them into the clubs, which would then attract men and other women into the clubs who would shell out some real money to buy drinks/prostitutes/entry fee/drinks for others etc.

Advertisements need models or film stars to show that their shampoo is the best. Cold drinks are not much about taste, but rather a status symbol, homes are not much about comfort but rather a home in that elite class society- You can yourself go on FOREVER and realize that we are living how the products, system and large organizations want us to live.

We are always busy about this thought consciously or unconsciously- “What would people think?”
Some people don’t want to face people in some situations to such an extent that they commit/plan suicide. (Shackles turn into a rope hanging from the ceiling)

When I see women covered all in black, who are not interested in impressing anyone at all with their physical appearance-- a sincere question can be asked to them- Why are you all covered and chained?
All of them who have understood it and then taken up this habit have a common and interesting answer - “I feel liberated”

How can she be liberated? She looks oppressed.

Well, she doesn't spend hours of make up just to fit into the office culture, she is not a slave to what people and peers think about her. She doesn't want to have those heels and stylish walk just to keep up with the society culture, she is NOT locked into a cage of “ what would people think” she just looks at herself in the mirror, throws a quick loose cloak over herself and walks out of the house.

Yes, she is liberated from the shackles of a society which is itself not permanent and is a slave of money.

She doesn't want to live the way a television set tells her to live. She is just smart. Others are ignorant.

I started my article with this underlined word “ignorant and have ended with it. But I wish from the depth of my heart-


If you started this article in ignorance, I hope you didn't end as an Ignorant.

The Magic Trick effect



Alfred Borden: The secret impresses no one. The trick you use it for is everything.
-The Prestige

Alfred Borden: Never show anyone. They'll beg you and they'll flatter you for the secret, but as soon as you give it up... you'll be nothing to them.
-The Prestige

One apple plus one apple equals two apples. But it does not create two apples for you.
-Author

If you impress someone with a magic trick, the more they see you do the act the more they would be caught up into it, unless they somehow find out how it was achieved. If you were to disclose it to them, they would never ask to see the trick again and the whole effect and attention received earlier would vanish. It is the trick itself which is interesting, once it’s decoded-it becomes a boring mechanism of fooling the other.

The lovers of science are always trying to understand the way things work around them. It is a trial and error world. The moment they know how it works they feel like they own it and as if it is them who made the amazing act of nature happen. If they modify it in some way, they feel thrilled to think they created a better version of what they had.

The problem with this is- No matter how efficient the equation gets, one apple added to the other only gives us the logic of how it happens. It does not actually fill the stomach with two apples at all.

When science witnesses the greatness of nature, perfection of universe, placement of life, coordination of all the elements in the universe to support life they end up trying to describe the reason to its perfection and not appreciating the perfection in itself.

There are 4 kinds of reactions to a simple observation-

1)      Look at the sun, its nothing but a chemical reaction and a result of nuclear fusion.

2)      Look at the sun, what an amazing creation of God.

3)      Look at the sun, how perfectly has it been placed for us and how interestingly the simple changes of energy millions of miles away provide us with just the precise amount of energy we need... Praise for the creator.

4)      Look at the sun, it is such a coincidental perfection and everything else that’s around it is also such an interesting coincidence.

I appreciate the third opinion the most. It is a very humble form of appreciation for both- i.e the understanding of how the nuclear reactions happen, its necessity for us and how magnificent the creation is, and thus, how magnificent would the creator be.

I am usually surprised at the reaction of people. They look at a machine, (say a brand new Lamborghini Huracan) and say “Amazing!! What a fine car! What a lovely piece of design and great automotive feat”, with their jaws literally dropped open and heads turning to take another look. Yet, they fail to appreciate the ability to be able to comprehend the machine itself (animals cannot understand it, they will walk by a Lamborghini just as they would walk by a cycle- a dog would lift a leg and piss on both without discrimination); they fail to appreciate the ability granted to be able to put together such a machine, to have the resources for it and to have the dimension of time to invest into the making of it. They fail to appreciate the creator itself.

If you appreciate this machine so much for its beauty and technical superiority, what makes one to not appreciate the night sky lit by millions of bright twinkling stars, endless beautiful green forests
with trees older than centuries, brightly colored insects that would mesmerize any man, the glorious rivers and an entire world in itself beneath the oceans.



Saying that a butterfly is spotted only because it is saving itself from its predator by its apparent appearance is not a false idea, but don’t let the ‘explanation’ of magical placement of God’s nature tarnish the need for its appreciation. It would rather be better to be always mesmerized by the beauty and curiosity than to know the trick itself.

Diminishing the beauty of something as small as a butterfly by saying that its bright colors and large spots are only to fool the predator into thinking of it as a risky snack is a sad and half eye view of the moment. It is rather the appreciation for the magical effect it creates which is more soothing than the explanation for it which makes it reduce the its worth.I rather wonder, how the butterfly thought of evolving its wings to have large spotted figures to make the predator think of it as eyes. A brain less insect was intelligent enough to discover and implement it thousands of years ago and it took us millions of brain cells and thousands of years to finally understand why it was so.

The creator is the common factor in any equation. Can we not breakdown every element and arrive eventually at the same base substance-a combination of protons, electrons and neutrons. Does that not point to one single source of creation? How naively we look at iPhones, iPads and iPods and recognize the source of creation as one organization and appreciate their technical expertise and yet we look at the entire universe made for us with the same building blocks and we reject that it isn't from one single source and technical expertise beyond our comprehension. We praise an extra ordinary CEO who could create the pinnacle of success through phones and musical devices and read stories, biographies and quote from his experience, not acknowledging the fact that the same person could not reverse or stop the process of returning to the creator and yet we don’t want to fully appreciate the creator himself who has placed among us an ocean full of such CEOs and other infinite miraculous examples. I don’t mean to tarnish the work of Steve Jobs, nor will I ever make the mistake of comparing a creation’s creation with that of the creator’s creation. Neither will I make the mistake of comparing the creator with anything at all, because he is nothing like anything that we know of.

The evidence is all around us.








So,





Don’t let the secret of the magic trick, discredit the magical effect itself.
