Opinions Are Dangerous 

For many years now I have been trying to de-program myself by removing all my opinions on matters. It’s not easy! That is one of the reasons I mostly live as a recluse because every time I get involved with people again, it’s just a big fat opinion slug-fest. And that is what I see happening right now concerning Covid, Trump, and all that shit. As an artist, it is my duty and obligation to NOT be in the juicy part of the bell curve when it comes to public opinion. I don’t indentify with any religion or political party. I dabbled in some social justice movements and ideologies like atheism but eventually discarded those too. I suppose this post is an opinion on opinions. Or a bunch of opinions on the concept of opinion. I prefer to call these just thoughts. Like clouds passing. Opinions are trying to grasp the clouds and forming your worldviews based on what you think the cloud is or how to build a city on a cloud. If I want to know more about a topic, read books about it. In long form and in depth. Go to the roots. Get a degree. Become an expert. What is knowledge? What is truth? Not some headlines and internet media propaganda filtered through your own pre-conceptions and biases which is how most people formulate their cherished opinions and then construct an identity around which then finds other people with whom to make peer-groups, tribes, armies, nations, enemies, etc. You are being controlled. You have bought into the illusion of freedom from the choices you have been given. You  are a slave to your own programming and personality. This is your lower-self who just wants to survive and reproduce. Transcend. Evolve. More is possible if you find the courage to chase that glimmer of light and step outside the cave. If you want a conspiracy or a consensus, look inwards. What do you know? Who are you? I think humanity would benefit from a new creed that is incredibly simple: I DON’T KNOW. That is my favorite solution and problem because it embraces the empty canvas where everything is possible. Be honest. Be silent. Embrace uncertainty. Wake up not knowing anything and discovering it ALL for the first time. Let the other monkeys do their dance. Let your concepts bloom like the birth of a new sun. Watch it all like a great movie. Eat popcorn. Life is beautiful when you learn how to get into a permanent state of grace and reside there. Heaven and hell is a coin. Flip it and see what happens! VV
