You are the only one who can search honestly inside yourself for the meaning of your life, eternal love and infinite energy. No doctrines, no set formulas, no new prophets or false messiahs or hypocritical rituals. You will only find your personal salvation in the simplicity of your own feelings, of the sincerity of doing good.
Who told you that God exists?
It is just the blind faith of tradition, then God died a long time ago. If it is because of the fear from Hell, then give up, you are already doomed and in the middle of a major shit storm. If it is because of the love for others then begin to love yourself: look for your real neighbour, your real enemy – it’s certain that they are living inside you. And don’t think that I am preaching some exasperated rationalism. No. It is simply that faith, the religion of today and the mysticism of the future, has more truth when it is based on you, on your own God and your own creed, on that which we search for and find, which doesn’t even has a face or symbol, or hope of collecting charity or prayers, but that simply lives in you, fed by your pain, hopes, dreams and visions.
»Mysticism and exaggeration go together.
A mystic must not fear ridicule if he is to push
all the way to the limits of humility or the limits of delight. «

The permanent surveillance generates an uninterrupted reality scan.
All of this media footage is being reflected back to the societie’s eyes and ears.
The monitored consumers became the controlled addicts of this circular flow of entertainment.
A metapher for loosing our souls and disoriented victims of the global crisis.
As we know them today: Zombies - the living Dead – the abart of the century.

Yestertimes the governing portion used to conduct the newspapers and media relatives.
Now the media monopolists pilot their string puppets.
I wrote a comprehensive recapitulation about media manipulation.
My analysis in a nutshell.

Our world is constantly becoming a smaller place.
Broadcasting stations brings us news from every part of the globe directly into our homes.
The network of the media corporations has become ever so complex.
Media tycoons, like Silvio Berlusconi and Rupert Murdoch, embody the global power of the media and the danger of it manipulating politics and public alike.
The outcome of elections can be manipulated by swaying opinions and wars abroad seem to have become the instruments of political campaigning at home.
Even terrorists make use of the modern tools of propaganda.
All that remains to audiences is to participate as a silent zombie in front of the idiot box.
What is propaganda? Are satellite-TV and Internet the last step to total control?
Or is all of this nothing more than harmless entertainment?
