Do you feel like a dog?

[theeindiee]

Don't you feel like a dog sometimes? I do. I feel like a dog all the time. I feel lie a wild animal in a cage, because I know that's what I am. Except the cage is just an illusion. It's a docile lulled state of domestication and passivity. All this electronic and noisy shit, it bothers me. It makes me want to break it, burn it down, and completely destroy any and all remnents of it.

We should feel like WOLVES, not dogs! We SHOULD bite the hand that feeds us. We should fucking attack it and rip it to bloody shreds. I loved wolves when I was little, and badly wished to be a werewolf because I thought that it was the closest thing a human could come to the beauty and the power of the wild. I was fooled into thinking that this was our nature, to be above nature. I was wrong. Everyone has been wrong. We are wolves in sheep's clothing.

When the time is right... we will return to the wilderness from where we came. It is our home.

Where we are right now, it is our cage. All social problems remind me of animals in the zoo who incessantly pace back and forth, who attack and kill each other when normally they wouldn't, who bash their heads bloody against walls sometimes to death.... who lash out at the humans who cage them and who peer at them with ignorant satisfaction.

I wish to shed civilization from my being. I wish to speak no morer language. I wish to become a wolf again.

Everyone must join me. Progress is a lie. Society is a lie. The words you speak are lies. It's all lies. All of it. Lies always self destruct.

Become the truth.

Sincerely,

indy the wolfman

I've noticed little hitler as you call him has been out and about too much recently. Why don't you let go of the hate and transform it into something productive?

[theeindiee]

I am, and you'll see. Skunk is very right. Thanks for the advice.

I would agree there are some of us who are like caged wolves. I myself feel that tug to a different way of being. Not all of us do though. Many are happy with their cages. Some dont even know they are caged. A real pity. What is first needed is an awakening that cannot be shrouded or blurred by the illusionists in the employ of the zookeepers. No mean feat, when such lies have been ingrained into their minds to the point where they will defend the illusion as reality, even taking up arms against those who try to inform them of it.

However, I do not agree that civilisation needs to be rejected. Humans can develop amazing technologies that can heal our species and our planet, and we can do so without it being at the expense of our planet. But we all know what stands in the way of that: greed, apathy, ignorance, and social immaturity.

Greed and lust for power prevents technologies that could aid our planet and our people immensly from making it into world wide circulation, with the Elites hoarding technology until they have manufactured a way to make money off it, control it, limit its potential impact.

What is needed is to evolve our civilisation, to lose our fear of the unknown, and to remember what has been forgotten. We need to grow the fuck up as a species. We need to start respecting our planet, and the species that share it with us (united we stand, divided we fall). When we develop the amazing technology we are capable of, we might want to consider how we can use it to benefit our species and our planet as a whole, rather than "in what way can we use this to kill/aid us in killing". And we need to expand our goals in life rather than obsessing over making money, which is fucking fake these days ANYWAY, and materialistic bullshit that we dont NEED. We work to live, live to work, and many of us are miserable. Maybe humans weren't meant to spend fifty years chained to a fucking desk. Maybe we were meant to be taking care of the planet, exploring space, both inner and outer (thanks to Bill hicks for that one), and exploring science, educating and bettering ourselves.

We can be wolves again. But we can be wolves destined to progress into the stars, all the while maintaining our bond with Gaia.

I wish I could be like my dog, hes a very happy old boy.

Guinness is gonna be 17 this thanksgiving, hes extremely friendly, loyal, and hasnt met anyone he didnt like.

I recognize the feeling of a caged animal you have, but the "dog" label may be a bit nice for it.

Im sure you coul;d find something a little stronger to label it as, if the feelings you have are what I have interpreted them as, its more of a wild cougar or something like that.

I think youre a good person, Indiee.

Bad times, bad surroundings maybe.

Itll work out eventually.

Be strong and put yourself first for a while.

We SHOULD bite the hand that feeds us.
...why?

Not very honorable if you ask me.

[Eyeforalie]

Honor should only be given only those who truly deserve it.

The hand that feeds us is the hand has taken away the ability for us to feed ourselves.

In order for civility to coexist in harmony with nature and ultimately itself, it must find the ability to communicate without bounds; for proper, uninhibited communication is the key transferring complete comprehension between beings.

Without this, we are dependent on "the hand". The more that awaken form injected realism and accept being for what earth intend it to be, act upon instinct and face surroundings truthfully, exponentially, collective consciousness will lead humanity to what it is capable of. Outward display of the knowledgeable is a stepping stone to the mountain that must one day be overcome.

[Cogburn]

Honor should be given because we are all the same.

Difference is the illusion.

We are all dogs in cages of our own design.

Good news is that means you also have the key.

Feel free to hump in the streets.

Great responses! I'd just like to say thanks to skunk for keeping encouraging me to get into organic farming. I finally found one that's got space, only 100 miles away. It was actually the very first one I thought about checking out way back I think sometime in the winter when I got the WWOOF booklet. Completely forgot about it until yesterday.

I might not be on for a while, but apparently this dude who's staying there right now fixes computers. So I'm bringing my broken ass computer with and hopefully I'll get a connection going within a decent amount of time. I'm leaving on Friday. Either way, I'll be back eventually.

Until Friday of course, I'll be here. I think snow crash makes a good point. I go back and forth in my mind: Is society all bad? Sometimes I would rather just abandon it all. Other times, I look and I see that it is unavoidable that civilization will stay and will evolve because it's now a part of us like it or not. It's just that I guess it will take growth from the inside outward. I talked to an older woman today who runs this gorgeous organic farm in Washington, and she was saying that this year has seen just an AMAZINGLY HUGE exponential growth in the number of people interested in organic farming and alternative living, and that to me tells me that whatever is happening is unstoppable and growing faster than the "system" can manage to control. Alternative energy sources are being utilized at almost every one of these places, and the people involved will not stop for anyone.... and when push comes to shove, I mean.... it's nature. You can't beat nature. The governments of the world can't control a natural event such as this "awakening" which is happening.... and that just blew me away. The fact that it REALLY is happening is undeniable to me, and there is not much doubt about the realities of the illusion we're living in LEFT in the collective unconscious...

My best friend and I, on the way to the Meat Puppets show, were talking about this group psychosis which society is under the spell of, and we both agreed that the illusion isn't as strong as people think.... because everyone KNOWS the answer, and they actively think about it daily. My brother in law was lecturing me the other day about getting a job, and I said "Well I can't stand the jobs I get. I hate them."

He was like "Well Andy, 99.999% of everybody on this planet hates their jobs."

Well there ya go! There's the answer. Everyone can sense the bullshit, but are so damaged by trauma and fear and brainwashing that they actually completely ignore their instincts. The instinctual hatred of being a wage slave is universal. The only thing holding the superficial system of mind control together seem to be fear of being wrong, basically. How silly is that?

Also I'd like to add that if it weren't for society, where would music be today? I wouldn't have my fucking sweet electric guitar rig or any of these awesome bands which have all happened because of the struggle of man against society with the tools in which society has given him.

It's an interesting mix of loathing and love. I don't know where it's going, and it's unavoidable.
