Off The Grid

Life can be complex, or it can be simple. The choice stays in our hands to keep it simple or make it complex. The world we live in is mostly about people or relationships. A person cannot live in a vacuum and people are way more connected in the world than they think they are. I, when was younger, used to think about living off the grid, like somewhere in the jungle or on an island, the actual truth is that there is no off the grid and there is no off the grid since quite a while now. I had the good luck to see the stratification in this country and not every person who clearly see the stratification in this country has the good luck to survive, many who witness the ultimate stratification do not live to tell the tale. The older stratas are getting dismantled slowly, and it's a shame because they were built on incentives and respect. I wouldn't have in wildest dreams thought that those who are part of the ultimate strata in this country would actively work for dismantling all the good stratification and replace it ugly, forced and ki deformed strata. It's hard to believe that those who have ultimate edge in power dynamic so much so that they can't ever be challenged would actively dismantle all strata based on trust, respect and incentives but than in the past decade I have seen enough to finally believe it. Transactional relationships seem the only way going forward while one gets exploited by those who have an edge in power dynamic. Social relationship then, in the political setting we live in, need to be handled carefully. In the past decade, there came a time when I wondered if human beings have any autonomy at all in this country, but then I realised that they have but they have to salvage it if they are at the deep end like I was. You know what is the most beautiful thing ever? It's nature, it's all around us and within us. Our consciousness is nature too, and it was mind boggling to realise that just like the body has immunity our consciousness or our self too has immunity, which when it sees through the delusion of social, economic and political false consciousness, rejects the false consciousness and corrects itself from the delusions of the false consciousness. It's hard overcoming the false consciousness because it is forcefully imposed, but once the psychic immunity comes to know about it, if guided properly it deals with it in the subconscious that the political false consciousness can't access. Life has to be simplified as much as possible because the politics of the times we live in thrives on complicating it. There is no off the grid outside but there is an off the grid inside you. Keep it simple, keep it real.
