Too many people have become nothing more than shells of humanity: existing but not living, expecting but not adapting, growing old but not growing, monomaniacs without balance. Because nature abhors a vacuum, we’ve unconsciously come to rely on others to tell us what will make us happy, fulfilled, enlightened and ultimately saved. This has given rise to a new form of zombie.
The Living Dead are among us, and yes, you may even be one of them. I was!
Have you ever thought about the everyday hypocrisies that are sucking the life out of humanity? How can you generate a better understanding and empathy of the types of zombie-ism you may ultimately be susceptible to and potential ways to zombie proof your life? Do any of these resonate with you?
- The paparazzi generation and the cult of personality
- Born agains still haven’t found what they’re looking for
- We’re not a gang, we’re a club
- Mean girls, B Boys and the cult of reality TV
- A climate of global “isms”
- Bumper stickers, T-shirts and infomercials, oh my
Without conscious thought created by listening to the silence of your heart, you will gravitate to whatever source of information is lucky enough to command your attention. Ultimately, you WILL PRAY at some altar. Whether it is the altar of commercialism, a traditional organized religion, your social circle or the latest cause, you will get sucked into something not necessarily for your best and highest destiny, but that of someone else’s. This is the subtle trap of living unconsciously. Zombie-ism infects you in subtle ways:
- Needing that Channel handbag, Prada skirt or Zenga suit while hanging on Aston Kutcher’s every tweet and who is doing who in Hollywood.
- Reciting bible verses and referring to you savior every third sentence.
- Slave to initiations, rites, and ceremony all for the honor of belonging.
- Becoming a cartoon version of what life is in another plastic world of some writer/producer/director’s edited documentary.
- Chasing the latest cause while forgetting what is in your own backyard.
- Keeping it simple enough for a tag line, slogan or flyer dilutes the true essence of what built that cliché in the first place.
Even those “enlightened” are barraged with channeled message after channeled message of mostly doom and gloom no less depressing than the six o’clock news. Suffering from word vomit and the need to show why there way is the better/only way to true ascension. How sad that balance is the one elusive ideal in a world crying out for it.
Yes, zombism does exist today, and I too was living unconsciously for way too long before I recognized the disease. I still make mistakes and expect many more in the future, but just knowing what the triggers are seems to be enough to snap me back into consciousness fast enough.
