The Great No is rejection of everything. It is test and trial. It is cracking the egg, initiation and rebirth. It is breaking the archetype, throwing off the veil. It is a day for non-participation in corporate life, in mass media, in belief systems, in organizations – and especially in the subtle ways that we have integrated with views and motives that have been imposed from outside.

– No electronic media (Televsion, Internet, cell phones…)
– No politics, entertainment, religion, nationalism.
– No materialism (Buying or selling).
– No artificial mood changes (Recorded music, drugs or alcohol…)
– No small talk

Question everything, especially publicly exhorted views and the narrative controlled by the powers that be. Go deeper. Question your identity, instincts, and beliefs. Resist all forms of external determinism, including biology, culture and ideology. Refuse to participate in anything that is false, illusory, idolatrous, illusion, trivial or degraded. Avoid artificial sources of mood changes. Do not glorify the tangential. Stop peer consciousness. Do not succumb to the pressure of the everyday.

How much are you willing to give up? Will you stop wasting your life on trivial pursuits? Stop adulating leaders, especially celebrities and politicians? Stop participating in the superficial, illusory, idolatrous, degraded and violent? Will you submit to inconvenience, suspense, uncertainty? How far do you want to go?


Stake your life on something
After the Great No we are finally ready to begin again.
Don’t waste this one life that you have. Be discontented. Take risks for the sake of your soul. Make a firm promise to become capable of the good, the true, the beautiful, and to do so in your actual life.
What is worth living for? What is false and what is real in your life? What is the secret of existence?
