The end of alienation within the realm of everyday life. That is the hope. A revolution from and complete rejection of the commodification and profitization of shared lives. The human being is a beginning, a start; without presence or knowledge it is impossible to be actually human, without these characteristics this so-called human is only a machine that eats, sleeps, or worse. This revolution is realized by being grounded and by having a connection. These are the actions. Revolutionary actions. Knowing reality. Having Love, because having love is being present to reality, acknowledging it and not denying it, implicitly or explicitly. This lead to the acquisition of an art of living. The art of living a life within the realm of everyday. Life itself is an art form and without this art alienation can not be banished.
What does having a connection mean? Being connected means recognizing that the world extends beyond you. Here you are immediately confronted with a choice, an anxiety; is there purpose or is there none? This is a choice only you are allowed to make for yourself. Do not let others make it for you! In fact you will be making this choice and remaking it throughout your entire existence. Is there a point to life? Today you may say, “yes there is, I accept.” Tomorrow despair might strike you down and the abyss of meaningless may stare you in the face. However, at some point, if you are lucky, smart, or whatever, you might understand that the entire world is not simply just about your own personal existence. You do fit into it somehow, but alas, you are not as important as you think. If you recover from this shock perhaps then you may have enough energy left to see the love embedded behind all of existence, if you are able to tear yourself away from licking your wounds, that is. Your connection is the terrible, massive, unworldly love hiding behind all of existence that is ever present and able to communicate to all things unequivocally. You turn away because you don’t like its words, its sound, the fear, its might, or whatever else it may have to say. It takes you so long to recognize this voice that you forget that it is even there. What an unfortunate state. The silent abyss isn’t the lack of response however, the blackness you find around you is your denial.
How is connection an action? It is an action because you must continually renew it by turning towards it. Every single day. It is an action because only you can do it for yourself, preachers, politicians, teachers, so on, can not do it for you. You are the one who will finally say. “Yes, Love is present. I am nothing in the face of this.” Turning away from production of false idols. Turning away from lies. Turning away from meanness and small grievances. The world is not simply a vacuum full of meaningless objects for your pleasure. It. Is. Not. About.You.
What does it mean to be grounded in reality? Being grounded is a purification, an acceptance of your lot. An actual first step towards real humanity. It is an acknowledgement that you exist as a physical being, as a spiritual being, and that is both a tremendous thing and not exactly what you thought it was. You are both something and nothing. How can that be? Let the feeling of the weight of your body talk to you through the gravity of the earth. That is your answer. This is the art that leads to the elimination of alienation.
