Day 296 – Fulfillment through consumption

We are consumers.  We consume what is here as a way to like expand and express ourselves with little or no regard for the consequences that we create through our consumption.  We consume to satisfy our desires, wants, needs, and self-definitions.  The more we have the better we feel. 

Money is the key to consumption.  Money is like energy.  If we do not have money, we shrivel up, starve to death, and die before out time.  But if we have unlimited money, we are able to have literally anything we want.  Yet, our wants are never satisfied because once we have them, we want more, and even then we still die before our time due to the stress involved with competing for money and thus resources to consume. 


It’s a vicious cycle to be fulfilled through consumption.  It never ends because fulfillment through consumption is like a moving target; once you hit it, it doesn’t seem like you imagined it would and then you want more and more to eventually get that experience that you so desired, but never really obtain.  And if you obtain it, then it eventually ends, just to leave you wanting more. 

We live this consumption principle within and without ourselves.  Within ourselves we seek to experience the energy of happiness, pleasure, superiority, excitement, and more, of which only comes for a brief time, and then goes away again.  This energy that gives us these experiences that we like to consume within ourselves is created and generated from the consumption of our physical bodies of which requires the consumption of food in order to replenish the physical body, otherwise we emaciate ourselves unto an early death.  In our outer-world, we use money, which is like energy, to consume products in order to fulfill our desires that come from the consumption of this planet, of which is destroying this planet.  We are indeed consumers inside and out. 

Now, what is rarely considered is the starting point of this consumption.  I mean, if we need to consume, energy or money, to feel happy and fulfilled, then what is the starting point of this?  Is it not, unhappiness and discontent?  Are we just then destroying everything so that we can escape our unhappiness and our discontent, which we created ourselves due to our separation from ourselves, which we created through not actually living words as ourselves?  Like if we just lived the word fulfillment as our natural expression in every breath, would we even need to consume to feel fulfilled?  Wouldn’t we already be living fulfillment as ourselves if we were one with our words?  But instead, we place fulfillment in the obtaining of things and ultimately experiences of which is based on energy and money, which is separation.

This separation which is the starting point of consumption is destroying our planet as we consume without the consideration of consequences, and it is destroying our bodies as well because our bodies are like the earth – both are physical and both support out very lives that we live.  No earth, no body, no life.  So, instead of living as one and equal with our bodies, were we live fulfillment as an expression of who we are in every breath, we live as if the earth and our body are just containers, here to contain and support us, to convert it to money and energy in order to create and generate the best possible energetic experience of happiness and fulfillment; however, not realizing in the process that this creates and eternal mind-fuck in the starting point of seeking positive experiences, such as fulfillment and happiness, is the negative experience that is like the evil twin of positively – it never goes away – its always here in the background, just laughing as we destroy ourselves through consumption.  Positive and negative go together like flies on shit.  You can’t have one without the other.  Thus, we just consume and will consume and destroy until the end of time unless we stop this bullshit.

 

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to be a consumer, both inside and out.

I forgive myself that I have not allowed myself to see, realize, and understand, that, seeking fulfillment through consumption of products, people, and experiences will only lead to the negative polarity equation of the exact opposite experience within and as myself; moreover, I forgive myself that I have not allowed myself to see, realize, and understand that when and as I see myself going into the desire to consume products and experiences to make me feel happy and fulfilled that I am already living the negative polarity equation within and as myself of being unhappy and unfulfilled, thus fucking myself over through perpetuating the cycle of the underlying negative experience just to cycled to a temporary positive experience and then back again.

I forgive myself that I have not allowed myself to see, realize, and understand that the desire to be fulfilled through consumption of products is a reckless and regardless way to exist that reeks havoc and destruction on all, of which is shown to me now within and as this existence and world as it exists now, in all of its evils.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to recklessly consume my physical body in order to convert it to the positive energy of feeling fulfilled, happy, excited.  Within this, I forgive myself that I have not allowed myself to see, realize, and understand that when and as live for the experience of positive energy, that I thus simultaneously create the negative energy equation as a consequence that thus propels me and cycles me into a viscous cycle of feeling down and then up wherein I just consume endlessly, like a hamster on a wheel, and without any regard for all life.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that I can be fulfilled though consumption of goods, products, services, food, drugs, and anything in and of itself.  Within this, I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that I am missing out and thus lack contentment and fulfillment when and, as I am not able to consume.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that I need those latest fashions, technologies, and other products in order to feel fulfilled.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to exist within the point of endless desire and want wherein I am constantly seeking experiences and products to fulfill me, that when fulfilled, just leave me back at my original starting point of need- thus, I forgive myself that I have not allowed myself to see, realize, and understand that the total destruction of this planet through mass consumerism is showing me what I am already doing within and as myself, both within my body and to this earth.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that I can be fulfilled with energy and money.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to be a ‘fool’ who wants to be ‘filled’ with experiences of energy bought by money, when I see, realize, and understand that experiences or of energy and money both of which are also consumed and come to their end leaving me here needed more and thus I can never be fulfilled with energy or money.

To be continued…
