You are not the master of your destiny. You are a puppet. You are a pawn for the system of control. Outside influences determine who you are.
You are born a beautiful, pure, blank slate. If you are lucky, you escape religious dogma. At a very young age, you are forced into the school system. For a quarter of your life, the creative energy is snuffed out of you. “Education” teaches you to submit, conform and believe false truths.
A study was conducted by Sir Ken Robinson on the relation between education and creativity. The research showed that young people lost their ability to think in “divergent or non-linear ways,” a key component of creativity.
These are the statistics: “Of 1,600 children aged 3 to 5 who were tested, 98 percent showed they could think in divergent ways. By the time they were aged 8 to 10, 32 percent could think divergently. When the same test was applied to 13- to 15-year-olds, only 10 percent could think in this way. And when the test was used with 200,000 25-year-olds, only 2 percent could think divergently.”
You spend most of your life working for others, depriving yourself of your passions. You watch television, tune into politics, agree with other people’s opinions instead of inventing your own. Forget everything you have ever been told. Erase the judgment and negativity from your person. Refuse to do as you are told. Explore your interests.
Grow.
Everyone is programmed. It’s up to you to deprogram yourself.
