Reader Says: "Tune it all Out"
October 3, 2013
We create our own reality, says Amar, an insurance industry employee from New Jersey
Does "informed" mean "deformed?"
"The more we tune out, the more we start listening to our inner selves.
The more we tune out, the more we start appreciating our family, friends, and neighbors."

How are you? I really enjoy your articles. They have taught me a lot over the years. More importantly, they have un-programmed me from what I was taught by educators and society as important compared to what nature believes to be important. I am forever grateful to have run into your site.
Over time, I have become less and less concerned about the Illuminati and have become more and more aware of myself and the universe. I kind of sense that I was born and soon I will die, soon individuals in power will die as well, In that sense we are all truly the same. We are born with clear natural minds and then we get corrupted by society's rules to keep their structure / organization going.
The closer we get to our death the more we realize that all that we thought was important is not, and all that we neglected is important. Soon enough we realize that we are all going to die, rich or poor, republican or democrat, serf or elitist, man or woman or the third gender, we are all going to disappear. I have a lot to say and quite often while I am walking or jogging, I just talk to myself about life and what is real and what is not. I tell myself what I did wrong the day before and try to work on it the next day. Quite often I fail as it is an ongoing learning process, to learn what is natural and to unlearn years of societal education which is unnatural.
The 9-11 event started my awakening. I sensed something was wrong as I was a little doubtful of the official story. I told my father that now the US is going to invade each country one by one. My friend hinted that I should purchase some gold as it will sky rocket in price. I followed his advice and then the price did start moving. As I got more curious about the coincidence of gold prices increasing after 911, I started to google every combination of gold and 911 conspiracy and Illuminati and read countless articles over the years about economics, nutrition, history, conspiracy, etc.
I was fearful of the Illuminati and the Freemasons. I started hording gold and silver and then dehydrated foods. I became a little crazy about hoarding everything. During this time I started practicing yoga and pranayam and learned more about the Hindu philosophy. I don't believe in temples as most temples are way too elaborate with different levels of prayers for different levels of donations. In addition, most priests and temples don't teach how to live properly; they just do their rituals and feed inorganic obese lunch to all. I have come to understand that the real temple is within.
Something started to click in me, which is partly due to the Hindu philosophy that life is an illusion. Life is real in a sense that we experience it but it also seems like an illusion. On the blink of an eye, the present moment becomes a distant memory and the future moment becomes the present. On the next blink, we will be one breath away from death and all our past will just be a memory, a bunch of electrons translating a scene in the back of our brain. In this sense we only live in the present, yet we regret our past and worry and plan so much for the future. We don't realize at times that we don't live in the past nor the future, but the present.
What does this all mean to me? It means that I am going to die one day. If I am going to die in the future which I cannot predict, then why bother hoarding to prepare for the unknown future? All this hoarding of gold and silver and food is pointless. More hoarding equals more worries. If I am hoarding then I am just like them, the bankers who control and hoard resources to control us. Isn't time better spent on building relationships, real non-Facebook relationships. I wish to know my neighbor, my co-worker, the people that I see everyday. I wish to see them as I see my parents whom I love dearly. When I can see all people, the homeless, the gangster, the banker, the neighbor as my family then I do not need to hoard anymore. Then I can use my resources to help them and in time of need, they would be there for me.
In addition, instead of spending time reading and consuming countless hours on media from football to cnn to conspiracies to economics, isn't time better spent on learning a new skill that can help you survive? Isn't a skill cheaper to hoard than items? Isn't it better to be productive for others? I wish to learn to farm and fish and hunt. I wish to know that fruits and vegetables grow from plants, not eat fish and beef and chicken were alive once like you and me. Wouldn't it be nice to know how to fix a car, fix plumbing and electrical issues instead of become a MBA JAVA programmer.
TUNE OUT
The fear mongering is peaking again. The country is in massive debt; the government is shutting down.
We have to tune out the tv, the internet, the radio, the sports, the Hollywood, etc.
When i went on vacation to South America, I did not carry a cell phone, did not use the internet, and couldn't understand the tv or the newspapers. It was a blessing to get in tune with myself, with my appreciation for my parents and family and friends. Maybe on our next vacation we should carry a tent and some food and go for a long one week walk without a cell phone. It is a beautiful experience. The more we tune out, the more we become aware of ourselves. The more we tune out, the more we start listening to our inner selves. The more we tune out, the more we start appreciating our family, friends, and neighbors. The more we tune out, the more we start appreciating where food comes from, where shelter and clothing comes from. The more we tune out, the more we understand, that there is no Illuminati if we never talk about, there is no elite if we treat each other as equals, there is no addictions if we understand that life on Earth is temporary. The more we tune out, the more problems get solved, the less issues we face, the more aware we become, the happier we become.
All the nonsense in the world is in our heads; it has been programmed from the day we were born. It is programmed to control us, to make us fearful of the world, to make us fearful of death, to ultimately make us need them. Maybe it is time to tune out. Maybe it is time to listen to the birds, the wind, the oceans instead of cnn and fox and msnbc. Maybe it is time to start to de-program ourselves and become one with nature instead of trying to conquer nature.

I think the author tries to flee from this world using his religion into a non-existence type of space in his head.
I have done the same , but later realized that a lot of the eastern philosophies are also flawed in some aspects and are just a model of reality and not necessarily the truth about reality.
what i see, is that we live on a planet, and it is not illusion at all, it's real, only our personal existence is temporarily but is also real.
we cannot take gold, silver with us after death, that's true, and it's a good idea to keep this in perspective. but if we don't save some for a rainy day, it's just illogical, unpractical, as we might need it in the future to survive.
and by saving up money , we don't automatically become like the bankers, they are on a whole different level. you cannot just put things on a big heap and pretend that they are the same.
I think , tuning out sometimes to take time for oneself is very good, and introspection , and extraspection , analysis, thinking is very necessary and our right. but Amar is taking it too extreme, we should always be able to reconnect back to the mainstream reality with our new found wisdom and be prepared to share and learn from others, and take on the difficult task of being in this world, but not of it.
that means to me being yourself from within but don't let unwanted or negative elements intrude into your mind and worldview.
going from fear of the illuminati to apathy disguised as freedom, seems to me counterproductive in the long run. why not be dynamic and move from the inner sanctum to the world, and be part of both so you don't become too closed off in the personal mental realm wich for some can also be problematic.
