Its like
This just has to be said. It is not like anything.
My daughters grew up in the evolution of the phrase, “its like.” You can hear it every where. It is some kind message saying, hey, everything is cool. Well maybe. The point is that this phrase is revealing of our robotic programed way of experiencing. Just like any software program, one thing refers back to another earlier program. The new program “is like” the old one. One big problem with this for us humans is that the earlier program is formed in childhood. How clear is the child?????? Not very…….
So if I’m right, then our screwed up inner child’s reactions become the default “its like” for today’s experience. Children making adult decisions.
The truth: It is not like anything! My perception is making premature erroneous opinions about every moments experience as long as I am satisfied with having anything like anything else. Is this really just one endless program? Isn’t there room for raw experience? Am I so crusted over that I can’t relax and allow life to impact me? Am I too afraid?
Asking these questions is refreshing. Life is an experiment. Now is not like anything I have ever known before.
