address :
Worship power, you
will end up feeling weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over
others to numb you to your own fear. Worship your intellect, being seen as
smart, you will end up feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being
found out. But the insidious thing about these forms of worship is not that
they're evil or sinful, it's that they're unconscious. They are default
settings.
They're the kind of
worship you just gradually slip into, day after day, getting more and more
selective about what you see and how you measure value without ever being fully
aware that that's what you're doing.
And the so-called real
world will not discourage you from operating on your default settings, because
the so-called real world of men and money and power hums merrily along in a
pool of fear and anger and frustration and craving and worship of self. Our own
present culture has harnessed these forces in ways that have yielded
extraordinary wealth and comfort and personal freedom. The freedom all to be
lords of our tiny skull-sized kingdoms, alone at the centre of all creation.
This kind of freedom has much to recommend it. But of course there are all
different kinds of freedom, and the kind that is most precious you will not
hear much talk about much in the great outside world of wanting and
achieving.... The really important kind of freedom involves attention and
awareness and discipline, and being able truly to care about other people and
to sacrifice for them over and over in myriad petty, unsexy ways every day.
That is real freedom.
That is being educated, and understanding how to think. The alternative is
unconsciousness, the default setting, the rat race, the constant gnawing sense
of having had, and lost, some infinite thing.
