The battle against immorality

My life is a constant battle against immorality when I know morality is all made up. I live trying to do what I believe is right, not what I believe is good for me. I tell people nice things because they’re what they want to hear, without any sincerity behind them (i.e. saying “I love you”). I feel attraction of course, but it seems to be only skin deep, I wouldn’t say I truly love anyone, least of all myself, I am in fact a deeply unhappy person.

I don’t believe in the sanctity of life or life having any value whatsoever. About a year ago some big shit went down, and since then I have wished almost every day that I had died back then; that it would have been better had my life ended, I feel like I’m living in overtime, beyond my expiry date.

I believe I am in a transition phase between blissful ignorance and blissful awareness, I have not, and don’t know how I ever will, transcend my shame and my very *human* emotions in order to become, I suppose you would say; enlightened. I know what I believe, but as it is counterintuitive to my existence and survival it is difficult to truly embrace… alas, I am a human, imperfect and bound, it seems, by my nature.

Although I believe the awareness I am pursuing is the truest understanding possible of *everything,* I wouldn’t wish this mentality on anyone, I am incapable of happiness, connection, intimacy. I do all that I do only for the people who love me the most, yes there have been some hiccups, because this facade is a tiring one to maintain 24/7, it’s draining.

People love me, I know they do, but I don’t know how or why. It seems I am destined to live a life full of desire but devoid of pleasure.

Thank you for reading.

Separating the Art from the Artist (2 Part Youtube Series)

https://youtu.be/LoZ_k19Qbck Ray talks about how we can discuss ideas freely, without judging them based on the mouth they are spoken from, but rather on their own merit... Ideas exist in the ether all around us, just waiting to be discovered.

Enslaved Market (3 Part series)

https://youtu.be/13v-NFSFz9I Ray asks the big questions; is the free market REALLY free, and by extension, are we? In this discussion we explore aspects of the economy; socialism, capitalism, and can we find a balance between the two?

Slippery Slope to Nazism

https://youtu.be/LrCdYvMhG88 Ray discusses his thoughts on the hysteria surrounding nationalism; is the outrage justified? Is there any validity to Nationalism, and where do we get our national identity from?

This is an interesting topic and one that is a pressing issue at the moment in the UK and the wider Anglo-sphere. Please join in the discussion however you can, I would appreciate hearing different views on this matter.

What is good?

https://youtu.be/QGlfYgU9DD0 Ray tries to get to the bottom of what makes things good, and is that is good also right? In a society where the focus is always on doing as much good for our fellow humans as humanly possible, perhaps we should stop to consider if this is right, or if it only feels good?

Thanks for watching, it would be great if you could interact by letting Ray know your thoughts in the comments! It'd be great to get a discussion going around these ideas, which I at least feel, are not talked about enough.

Leafletting for what YOU believe

https://youtu.be/ViuiMnqulM4 Ray talks about the importance of getting out and taking action for what you believe in! Whatever your affiliation, it is important that we remind ourselves and others who owns this country; the People!

Natives

https://youtu.be/GLMwg4Ye-sc Ray discusses the idea of a native people and the philosophy of Nativism. There are some very famous Native Groups that we could likely list, and that we may have learned about in school here in the UK, here we discuss the idea more broadly and how it applies to all of us.

Is there a value to Nativism- to protecting and preserving certain groups? Join me for this discussion and please let me know your thoughts with a comment.

21 Years for Murder

https://youtu.be/WMnoHVeZnSI Ray discusses the sentencing of the murderer of Henry Nowak, covering court transcripts and the laws around minimum sentences. Are we all equal under the law? The Home Secretary certainly seems to think so, and yet the Judge says otherwise...

Unlearning to Grow

https://youtu.be/I1gbMD4eNCg Ray talks about the idea of unlearning everything you know! Sounds silly, but maybe that's the only way forward; to question everything, believe nothing, in order that we can create our own ideas with a sounder understanding of the reasoning behind them.
