One thing I have learned from living in Japan since 1985 is that human beings are much the same all over the world. We share much of the same dreams, aspirations, fears, and hopes. However, all of this is 'programmed' into us. The 'Japanese software' and the 'Canadian software' and the 'American software' are all quite different programmes. The 'bio-computers' also come in various shapes and sizes. The 'consciousness', let's call it the electricity that keeps all of us 'bio-computers' going is, however, universal. Electricity is electricity, 'Qi is Qi', consciousness is consciousness. What we call MIND is the programme and for aeons we have been programmed to be...well...worker robots.
Thinking out of the box requires us to first recognize our programming and begin to connect with 'consciousness' in order to change that programming to better ourselves, the world, and our overall contribution to the collective 'programme'. As long as there are bio-computers there will be programmers. The question is...who is doing the programming? Your TV? Ever wonder why the call it TV 'Programming'!?
Whose programme are you playing out? Your parents programme? Your teacher's programme? Your religion's programme? Your political leader's programme? Your friend's programme? My programme? Or YOUR programme? Who designed YOUR software?
And for what purpose?
Was it to be a slave to the banking cabals of the world? Was it to be a slave to your job? Was it to be a slave to your country or flag? Was it to be a slave of ideology or religion? Were you really born to be a suicide bomber, Kamikaze, leftist, anarchist, or right wing ideologue?
Were you born to hate people of other cultures, skin colours, and ways of thinking? Were you born to always live in fear, hopelessness, greed, and slavery to your programme?
These are all questions we can ask when we are wanting to live a life 'thinking out of the box' or 'thinking outside the programme'.
Once you realize that you are programmed you have taken the first important step to waking up.
Albert Einstein said, “You cannot solve a problem from the same consciousness that created it. You must learn to see the world anew.”
Another way to phrase this is, 'You cannot change the programme at the level of the programme. You have to step outside the programme, outside the box, and view your programme from the level of pure consciousness.'
Then you will be able to increasingly 'think outside the box'.
