One Must Be Oneself

Humberto Gómez Sequeira-HuGóS 49

One must be oneself, the object of one’s thoughts. The establishment of this relationship is the determinant of the human animal’s ability to create its own self as the tool appropriate to its needs for individuality, recognition of truth, and sense in a world populated by religious and political identity thieves.

We are the products of nature, endowed with the elements of its force. Our umbilical cord connects us with the thermodynamics of the stars, not to the will of God or the State. The richness of the life that we manifest is the effect of the magnificent transformation of the universe.

The human animal’s creative will is the electric current that sparks the chemical reaction whose substance is its awareness of its self and its power of differentiation. When we submit our relationship with our selves and our dreams to the ruling class’s judgment machine, operated by their political and religious servants, we lose our power and begin to fall

from the subjective position that we need to occupy in the world into the objective wave of the clamorous masses that follow the religionist and nationalist charlatans to their ruin.

A human animal that sacrifices itself to fit into the straitjacket of ignorance, selfishness, and dogma of the ruling class’s institutions, Church and State, is not the object of its thoughts.

One is the skin of the object of one’s thoughts that one needs to shed periodically in order to maintain one’s perception in tune with the revolutions of the world and the need to grow new ideas, emotions, and institutions that are adequate to one’s nature and needs as a conscious evolutionary organism.
