Question Reality!

The Curious Way to Peace and Happiness

Right now, the tail is wagging the dog. And the hapless dog doesn't even know it!

Instead of humans using language, language is using us.

We have become unwitting characters in scripts that are writing themselves, pawns in real life comedies of errors that all too often end in confusion and tragedy. Instead of living in the Present--the only state in which we actually exist--we are diverted by language into the illusory past and the future. And so we live, forever ahead or behind ourselves. We thus miss the pure joy of simply being alive.

Is making language the primary culprit for our collective insanity saying that we should stop all thinking or do away with language?

Of course not! I'm not that crazy!

But have you ever considered what might happen to our world if we can learn to cease self-identification with our languages, with our concepts, and our ideologies?

What do you think might happen if we all stopped identifying ourselves and behaving as part of the 99% or the 1%, as a capitalist or communist, as a Christian, Jew, Moslem, or Hindu, as black, white, yellow and brown or shades thereof?
And what might be the result if you committed yourself to Questioning Reality, to following The Curious Way, to "knowing thyself", and agreeing to examine everything you claim to know and believe, and to modify, and possibly even abandon your language based identities if warranted by what you discover during the process?

Do you think it's possible that both you and the world might become happier and more peaceful?

In my experience, the problems in my life most often arise when, prior to speaking or acting, I fail to take a very close look at and begin to question my mechanical thinking processes and the language that I've been programmed to regurgitate on cue. The practice of recognizing and freeing myself from my ego's deceptive nature has shown me the possibility of enduring inner peace and happiness. Freeing the mind is the key. This is among the most difficult feats imaginable. It also has the potential to become the easiest process in the world--once someone points you in the right direction. And clues to that direction may be found by Questioning Reality...
