The Awakening Paradox: The 'Celebrity Cult' Dogma And The Cruel Catch 22 Of Ideological Status Quos

in #philosophy7 years ago (edited)

The social celebrity cult mirrors the danger of idealization. When honestly analyzing history and our situation today, we unfortunately have to accept that the celebrity cult has not only failed to teach valuable life lessons but also shaped the events that led us to the brink. This cannot be resolved without understanding first the social demand for whatever celebrity cults. 

This goes way back to ancient mythologies featuring exceptionally gifted heroes - or half gods - fighting for a cause or against tyranny. The Latter are the framework of Western Psychoanalysis and various social concepts today. They also are the fetish of the entertainment industry. Originally myths were created to teach crowds existential ethics, but over time became increasingly distorted to shape the celebrity cult dogma.  

If is only when the 'alchemic' meaning of the Archetypes is restored that we begin to unveil the full scope of their esoteric multi-dimensional meaning, which C. G Jung had probed. Unfortunately Jung's work never really took off as mainstream psychoanalysis chose to follow a Freudian materialistic approach that took the conditioning of the masses up to a much higher level. 

There cannot be any external change without changing the mindset first. The celebrity cult is meant to do the thinking for the crowds and herd them. The materialistic interpretation of Archetypes is another left brained application fueling social conflicts and also justifying the structure of any reward based system. This has, of course, nefarious  implications when a war agenda must be sold to the public. 

Monetarism And Dangerous Status Quos Are Bedfellows

Advocating for volunatryism and going money-free are the only options. Monetarism prevents the flexibility of the system because everybody wants to sustain his/her own status quo... we all lose at the end the day because complexities increase exponentially with knowledge, and causing a dreadful and unavoidable paradigm shift to take shape. 

It is the stubborn desire to hold on to whatever status quo that is corrupting and debilitating frameworks. Not to mention that value is purely subjective as data is ever changing, depending on the time of the inquiry.  Accumulating wealth is, of course, a consequence of the same status quo ideology. Seeking for security invites insecurity. Equilibrium is not achievable when chasing money since the need to sustain an (illusory) equilibrium rather prompts to endlessly compete further to secure whatever is deemed to hold on to. 

This is a cruel catch 22 when not comprehending the dynamics at a much deeper level. Monetarism is the embodiment of an illusion. Paradoxically an awakening occurs when realizing this, and allowing the illusion to morph into a Lucid Dream which then uses Reality for a greater good. 

The Responsibility of Freedom  | November 28, 2017  To become aware, and therefore in a certain sense ‘to be free’, carries  with it responsibility. A responsibility to help bring about a radical  change (in society). A change informed by the bigger awareness achieved  by our new-found consciousness. This is the pay-back we are bound to  make. For having ‘seen the truth’ one cannot then hide from it. One cannot simply sit crossed-legged and dream of a better life.

I think earthcustodian should lead the charge of a money free society and lead by example. Why does she continue to monetize her posts? Isn't she being a hypocrite? What kind of leadership is this? Is she just lying to us and posting hype and other pseudoscience crap in hopes to gain a few bucks?

Shameful.
