Be willing to give up everything
Be willing to suffer, to give up everything, in the service of something greater than oneself. Do not seek pleasure or security first. Submit to inconvenience, suspense, and uncertainty. Give until it hurts.
Throw your life into question.
Combat whatever is given by nature and culture.
Fight for inner liberty.
– 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
The anthroposphere encompasses the total human presence throughout the Earth. Stop everything. All time-wasters. All self-glorification. The way you think of your own happiness.
Brave the anthroposphere
Do not escape.
Do not lie to yourself.
Be willing to suffer.
Fight for inner liberty.
Don’t believe anything you are told.
Resist every automatism.
Put an end to banality.
Recognize your mediocrity.
No politics, nationalism, religion.
No authority, no ideology. No philosophy. No teacher. No belief.
No small talk, gossip, entertainment.
Money: Free yourself from economic servitude.
Politics: Free yourself from the political narrative.
Culture: Free your mind from social control.
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. Conquer the strange lethargy that fortifies mere self.
