Life outside of the aquarium?

If you attempt to remove yourself from the aquarium, you can see the water, though you may die.

From such an early age, we are immersed in this place.  We don't think twice about our eyes being open and taking in light.  That limited spectrum of light sculpts the virtual reality that we navigate through each day.  Endless cycles of light and dark, sun and moon.   We are given convoluted deceptive explanations for what we observe in the so-called sky. 

False stories about where we are, what is our history, what is the purpose of this place ...all are the water in the aquarium. 

We don't consciously often think about breathing...a necessity of existing in this place.  We don't think about our body weight and atmospheric pressure, perfectly titrated to allow us to wander around Disneyworld.  This place wants us to explore it and find the castle in the aquarium. 

Whether it is Salzburg Austria with its stories of Mozart, the Taj Mahal, the Coliseum in Rome,  or Notre Dame in Paris....it's all Disneyland to me with their structures, stories, and characters. 

Watch movies. 

Watch the news.  

Watch the sports.  

Watch the screens. 

Read books.

Get a job.  Work hard.  

Believe the government.  

Travel to Paris, Rome, Bali, Vienna.   Where are you going on vacation?  Go out to eat at a restaurant.  Spend money.  Endless distraction.  Art, music, literature, history...endless distraction.  Have children, get married.  More endless distraction.

Vacate 

Leaving a Place: To move out of or depart from a room, building, hotel, or house so it becomes empty for others.

We are literally custom made for this place.  

No one stops to think about the indoctrination, trauma, and deception of school.  Producing the water in the aquarium.

Learning to control and understand the physical body...sneezing, burping, coughing, masturbating, farting, pooping, peeing, vomiting.  We struggle our whole life to understand and cope with the pervasive unquenchable sex drive, complicated with fetishes, mores, and societal expectations. Mix in some shame and guilt and voila...a perfect recipe for demoralization and perversion.   Some parts of the body are expected to be covered, while others can be exposed. Other parts can be tantalizingly hinted at to attract attention and invitation...leading to what?  

Hormones drive our emotions and behaviours without our consent. They are custom made to instill fear, anxiety, sex drive, anger, frustration, etc. 

My daily quest is to live outside of the aquarium.

Polkajammer synch...just as I was posting the above photo.  Billy Belina, the IJ says..."I wonder how all the fish are doing in the ocean on the East coast with the big storm going on."

This fish is doing just fine.
