    The Americans are in town.

    I live in Sydney, in a quiet suburb.

    I walked out of my apartment today, headphones on, putting a song on my iPhone, walked out to my quiet street in a daze. Looked up.

    Riot squad police truck with lights going, stopped for me, slowwwlly walk across road, realised there was about 6 similar vehicles behind, tech vans, ambulances.

    It was the fucking US Vice President Joe Biden' motorcade.

    ahahahah.

    I cannot describe how surreal that whole situation was to me. Totally totally fucking unexpected and random lol

    As an Aussie, with a US passport, welcome to Australia mate.

    It is the essence of life to know who we really are and where we came from. Everything that has created the universe has also created you, and everything that exists in the universe also exists within you right now in this moment. You see, you are the creator of all this. You are

    Throughout history, institutions were created to replace our knowledge of self with an obedience to God-like institutions (usually these institutions claiming to be God or directly appointed by God).

    These institutions appear God-like because they replace natural laws with man-made laws, they replace natural justice with man-made justice, and natural ways of living with forced ways of living. They create a hierarchy of order and power and enforce it via force. (People are punished for rejecting the institution.)

    All of this is part of the biggest scam in history that has been going on for hundreds or thousands of centuries.

    To be liberated, truly free, wise and aware, one needs to really understand the true God-like powers they hold within themselves individually versus the pseudo God-like powers that the institutions enforce.

    Again, laws are natural and justice is natural. Energy remains balanced, karma still works fine and does not need recreated by man. For man to create its own laws and justice system is the same as saying 'Nature fucked up' and 'Institutions are fixing the inherent problems of nature' - which we know is total fucking bullshit because to even live and love life fully, you have to be aware that nature in its most natural state - from oceans, plant life, to animals (humans), all of it - is in a perfect state and doesn't need 'fixing'. Life is beautiful. Death is beautiful.

    Humans today are fucked because they don't know who they are and instead suck the tit of the institutions that throughout time have mentally fucked us over to make ignorant and obedient. It's time we as a species say NO to any powers outside of our individual selves, say NO to forced participation into institutions such as church or state, reject the ideas of God being external, and take responsibility for our own minds and powers

    People ask me why my work is so depressing. I guess it's because my life is depressing.

    People want to be entertained. I try to appease them with my art but really if my soul is tortured my work will be tortured. It just is what it is.

    "Life is suffering", is what the Buddha said.

    "Blessed are the poor" is what Jesus said

    These adages are the only things I can cling to but it's draining to continuously lose. Especially when your expectation is to win.

    It's debilitating to the psyche.
