Consider this latest, greatest big time story sucking up all the air around the world - the death of a "rock 'god'" (sure to happen again, as it has happened many times before). Why do so many people fall into a strange, sad, teary-eyed reverie about this event? 99% of those, or more, never met the guy, never came within 100 miles of the guy, never shared a meal with the guy, never shared a word, or a thought, or a physical expression of any kind, YET they are "shattered", to use one of the popular claims lately.
Why? Because their mind knows something, and that "something" creates a FALSE EMOTION. That "something" is that millions of OTHER PEOPLE love him, and seem to feel it, publicly - in their words and actions - and that gives everyone permission to "enter His world". This is the opening to the pen where the Sheep are herded (a place in their own brain), while humming and singing along to the sound of the Shepherd's pipe's MUSIC with lyrics, and now they can all "feel the love" too (another place in their own brain, but neuro-synaptically connected), full-frontal, without fear, without guilt, without shame. Now, they all can openly express their apparent sadness at the death of their 'god', without feeling SILLY and FOOLISH. Take a guess how many people on Twitter and Facebook, alone, tweet/messaged their "well wishes". Half a BILLION with a 'B'? Probably more. (How 'bout you... did you fall in line with the silly and foolish?)
The 'god' mention above was not without significance. These various incarnations throughout the age (which, interestingly, only go back a couple hundred years or so, consisting MOSTLY of the lesser-known, and only a small number of WELL-KNOWN) create a "world" around themselves - from very small, to extremely large - inviting EVERYONE to come live there with him (usually) via MUSIC. Music is that which binds people to other people in a way that nothing else can, although certain Speech of a "higher (hard to define) order" works quite well, and religions have been using both methods (tricks) for millennia, to create HUGE FOLLOWINGS - the larger the better.
Try to realize that all these many millions of people around the world are experiencing FAKE EMOTIONS about the death of their (usually young, or young-looking) "messiah", their "Rock 'God'". These fake emotions will not lead them anywhere they want to go, only where the masses inevitably go - straight to the front of the abattoir queue, just in time for the dropping of the Sword of Fate upon their skinny necks.
Seek FIRST and LAST your own inner strength, not via another person, or another person's words, sounds, or images. Forget all about that stuff, and the sooner the better. That stuff is another land, and YOU can't live there. You can ONLY LIVE in your own self-created, enlightened world of your own making.
Human Life is not about JOINING groups, movements, crowds of followers, flocks of sheep into pens of death. Human Life is about Becoming Human, and the sooner one realizes the connection between Birth (alone) and Death (alone), the sooner The Way (escape) is revealed.
