The Voice in Your Head is Not You

Most people believe they are their thoughts. This is the root of all suffering.

We created this page to wake you up. To prevent the dystopia that is coming, we must first understand the mechanism that creates it: The Ego.

1. The Diagnosis: You are a Golem

Look at the idea you call "I". What is it? It is simply a thought pattern. It is a script written by your past—your parents, your culture, your trauma.

When you say "I am angry," you are lying. You are not angry; a pattern of anger is running through your system. Most human beings are what we call Golems or Talking Animals. They do not act; they react.

• If the "Idea of Self" is praised, they feel good.

• If the "Idea of Self" is insulted, they feel bad.

• They are robots with no free will, enslaved by the chemical hits of pride and fear.

This reactivity is the seed of all war.

2. The Illusion of Control

You try to control your thoughts. You try to "be positive." You try to "fix" yourself. But who is doing the fixing? It is just another part of the Ego! It is the thief dressing up as the policeman.

As long as you remain in the trap of Identification, you are just rearranging the furniture on the Titanic. You can read Schopenhauer, Jung, or Watts (as we used to list here), but intellectual knowledge is not freedom. It is just a more sophisticated cage.

3. The "Happy Reader" Trap

Are you here just to read? To nod your head, feel smart, and then go back to your conditioned life? That is the trap of the "Happy Reader." You consume wisdom as entertainment, but you never change the source code.

Knowing the path is not walking the path.

To stop the war inside your head—and to help stop the war in the world—you need to do more than read a blog post. You need to De-Program the Root Cause.
