I have been looking again at the point that we, humans, are
always directed by the experience of ourselves, of which can be reduced to
either a negative, or a positive experience.
In fact, mostly we exist in a ‘negative’ experience first only to be
countered by ‘positive’ experiences. We
typically define the ‘negative’ experience as boredom, which is like saying ‘I
am having a negative experience of self, THUS I need to find something to do
that creates a ‘positive’ experience of self’.
So, the statement ‘I am bored’ is like a justification to find a way to
change ones current experience of self to one that is more ‘positive’.
We all experience boredom, from the highest to the lowest of
us, from the oldest to the youngest. My
10 year-old son is constantly saying he is bored as soon as he has ‘nothing to
do’, nothing to distract him, rather.
I think to myself ‘how can he be bored so easily?’ Then I realize that he too has a
mind-consciousness system that needs to generate energy to support its
existence, thus when he makes a statement like ‘I am bored’, this would mean
that he has fallen into a negative energetic state that would feel much better,
for him, if he were to find a way to move himself into a positive energetic
state, just like me and everyone else.
The elite of this world get bored with all their wealth and
power and actually entertain themselves with the seizing of more wealth and
power. Could the drive to have wealth
and power come from a starting point as simple as boredom? Well, at a minimum, boredom, or the negative
experience of self, certainly plays a role in this, for there is a very
‘positive’ experience that is produced when doing something, or acquiring
something, or finding something, or discovering something, or achieving
something – new, and it is even more ‘positive’ when this something new is
‘better’ than before. Just look at your
own life, for instance when you buy a new car.
Isn’t it exciting? Weren’t you
bored with the experience of the old car?
This same construct is true all the way up to the top. It becomes boring just have billions, so one
then needs to acquire trillions. It
becomes boring just being President, so one needs to be something more, if
possible. But just like buying a new
car, after a certain amount of time, the experience of that car becomes boring
or at least ‘normal’ or neutral again which puts one in the situation where one
needs more stimulation / positive experiences and then the cycle continues as
one chases after the positive experience once again – but this time, it has to
be better than the last time to have the same effect. One could say, therefore, that this world is in a heap of shit
because we, as in all of us, are driven to the positive experience of ourselves
from the ongoing negative experience of ourselves which can be quantified /
reduced into one word that captures this concept – boredom.
I look at commercials on TV and the internet and what I find
is that the commercials are entirely designed to either create a positive
feeling that generates a feel-good experience that one associates with the
product being advertised OR a negative experience of fear, for instance, that makes
one desire the product to put a stop to this negative experience associated
with not having the product. It’s
almost sickening to see this, as this really tells a story of just how easily
manipulated humanity is where all one needs to do is play some music and speak
some words that are either positive or negative based on the motivation to
manipulate and control others to do things or buy things that would otherwise
not be considered.
Religion is the same way.
And I will pick up on this in my next post.
