Day 298 – The Consumer, The Costume-r, and the Customer

Days 296 and 297 are really the first two parts of this writing.  Another point that I realized just now is the similarities in the sound of the words ‘consumer’, ‘customer’, and ‘costume-r’.  Are we not as consumers, customers looking for products which act like a ‘costume’ so that we can present ourselves as something that we are not?

 

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to exist as a consumer, within and as myself, where I consume the experiences of energy of the mind with no regard for the consequences to my physical of which is used as a form of a battery to fuel and charge the energetic experiences that I consume, and is thus diminished and eventually killed in the process of being converted to energy, just like a battery.

I forgive myself that I have not allowed myself to see, realize, and understand that if I want to end the phenomena of consumerism, that this starts with me here, where I end my existence as a consumer of mind / energy experiences – where I choose to breathe and be here in alignment within and as the physical in every breath and no longer live for experiences of energy.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself react negatively and in resentment to being called, or referred to as, a ‘consumer’.

I forgive myself that I have not allowed myself to see, realize, and understand the sound relationship between the words ‘consume’ and ‘costume’ – wherein this reveals to me that through consumerism, we are also practicing ‘costumerism’, wherein we are putting on a costume to show ourselves as something that we are not.  Within this, I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to put on a costume, within and as myself, through the consumption of the energetic experiences of the various personalities that I embody as the mind.

I forgive myself that I have not allowed myself to see, realize, and understand, that consumers are also ‘costume-rs’ and thus ‘customers’ are those seeking costumes, to consume, in order to hide from self, and from others, the truth of what self is really living.  Thus, also, within and as myself, I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to, as a customer of my mind, purchase, with the substance of my physical, and thus consume the costume of the mind and its energetic experiences, as personalities and characters that I live, in order to hide from self the truth of self.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to exist as a consumer, both within and also without, where I am a customer seeking to consume in order to create a costume to live as something that I am not – all with absolutely no regard for the physical consequences that I inflict on my body and on this planet and this existence as a whole and as one.  Within this, I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to ignore and disregard the physical evidence of the pain and suffering that I have inflicted on all life to support myself existence as a consumer of both the mind as energy and also products with this economic system; thus, I forgive myself that I have not allowed myself to see, realize, and understand that being a consumer is un-acceptable and thus must stop.

I commit myself to support all life, this physical planet, and my physical body, by ending and stopping my existence as consumer, by sorting out my relationship with my own mind wherein I enable myself to live only what is really me, within and as the physical, and thus stop my existence as a consumer of the mind and its personalities, characters, constructs, emotions, feelings, and thoughts of which act like a costume that hides and conceals who I really am.

I commit myself to stopping the consumption of products that are not necessary for my survival by sorting outlining and detailing the difference between what I really need and what I want and desire in order to create energetic experiences within – and thus stopping my pursuit of fulfillment through being a consumer of products.

When and as I see myself reacting with blame and resentment towards the phenomena of consumerism and those who participate in it and support it, I stop and I breathe.  I do not accept and allow myself to separate myself from others as myself through blame and resentment because I see, realize, and understand that I am doing the same thing both within and as myself and without as a consumer as well.  Thus, I commit myself to create an equal and one relationship with the phenomena of consumerism and myself wherein I see, realize, and understand that the existence of consumerism is here to show me what I am already doing within and as myself and that the solution rests with me here, ending my existence as a consumer and then thus supporting and participating in the solution of stopping the mind, and then also creating a new economic system that will no longer be based on consumerism and the systematic destruction of all life.

I commit myself to always ask myself the question, when buying a product “is this product essential for my survival?  Or, is this product being consumed as a form of a costume, so that I can pretend and present that I am something that I am not and so that I can live and experience something that I desire and really do not need?”

When and as I see myself acting within and as the starting point of a consumer – wherein I am mindless consuming products or mind energy with no regard for the outflow of consequences inflicted upon the physical, I stop and I breathe.  I do not accept and allow myself to exist as a consumer because I see, realize, and understand that his will eventually lead to the extermination of life as reflected in this physical environment right now.  Thus, I commit myself to always ask myself key questions when consuming products or mind energy experiences, such as ‘is this necessary for my existence and survival or is this from the starting point of self-interest and if so, what desire, fantasy, or fear am I trying to alleviate?”  From here, I commit myself to breathe and move within the starting point of living as an equal within and as the physical as life, where consumerism ends, and life is.
