I need someone to hate

why do people yearn for a slave?

why do people yearn for a slave?

a reply to: AthlonSavage
I believe there are many answers to that question, but one of the most obvious ones that come to mind is this. Because they have been enslaved possible from the moment they were born, they yearn for liberation. Slaves are about getting other people to do your dirty work for you. So the people that yearn for a slave, have understandably but mistakenly guessed that the only way to go about it is to enslave another. Slavery is where you are obliged to do acts and live in certain ways that you never ever wanted to.

we are slaves and we want slaves to prove there is no such thing. because we can only do what we do only for ourselves.

If a person has a slave they must see the person enslaved as inferior to them.
Behind that is the feeling of superiority.
Behind superiority is ego.
Behind ego is delusion.
Behind delusion is the predator.

The reason why we need someone to hate is too feed the Predator.
Human beings are cursed with it in them.
A foreign intrusion that hijacked mankinds spirit, possessed him.
Only sparse numbers have built an immunity to it.

It is thought that has hijacked the ONE.
The ONE is what is actually happening...aliveness.

But thought, words, language cannot speak about the ONE life.
What IS happening is gone..it is done already.

If we drop all the labels, ideas and beliefs about life and what’s going on here, if we let go of everything that can be doubted, what remains? Is it not this undeniable awaring presence and the bare actuality of present experiencing, just as it is?

In exploring experience directly and carefully, we may notice that it is ever-changing, impermanent, impossible to pin down or grasp. The present moment is gone before it arrives! And yet, whatever time, location or experience shows up, it always appears Here-Now. This awaring presence is the common factor in every different experience. This immediacy has no inside or outside, no before or after. The self and its apparent boundaries cannot actually be found.

It may be discovered that every interest, urge, thought, action and apparent choice emerge choicelessly from an unfindable source, and that even what we consider to be terrible mistakes and misfortunes are all part of this undivided, seamless happening. It all goes together as one, indivisible whole—it all belongs. Nothing needs to be, or can be, other than it is in this moment.

Every moment is fresh and new. There is no final answer, no final understanding, no finish-line to cross. Freedom is letting go of the known, embracing groundlessness, relaxing into the all-inclusive and open aliveness of what is.

The enemy is the enemy whether it appears to be someone else or even yourself.

Im see myself more prisoner than a slave.
A prisoner of forces which are ingeniously controlled
behind some invisible curtain.

Which can be more easily overthrown, the enemy inside or the enemy outside?

What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others.

Do not be upset sweetie.

you.

And the bad people we stomp on them (metaphorically).

The one outside cause we know where he is. The one inside lives in the shadows of our minds and can jump us anytime.

If you are expecting to be jumped why don't you be elusive?

Hate and love, thin line,
same passion,
Slave is master,
after all.
