go nutz
I posted this a while ago on my other blog. I thought it might be useful for those who haven't read it yet. I will get around to posting part two eventually...
There is no way to be sure this actually works. I am simply going based on what I know. Before I begin, however, I would like to say that contrary to popular belief, simply listening to nothing but teeny-bop music will not make you go insane. It might help in the process of becoming stupid, but I will save that for another Blog.
1. Get Paranoid! Not in the sense that you walk around suspecting that just around every corner there is someone waiting to kill you or whatever (that will come, just not yet). What I mean is to begin to open your eyes to the seemingly obvious. For instance, turn off the lights in your room, or step outside at night, and look into the shadows. It may take you a while to see it, but eventually you will notice that your eyes do not adapt completely to the dark, and that some shadows remain so thick that what exists behind the shadow will remain hidden until you are ready to see it. Do not approach the shadow. What it contains is not yet for your eyes to view. Approach may cause the being wrapped in the shadow to disappear, solidifying your sanity to believe that what you saw was simply a lapse in your better judgement. There is a fine line between sanity and reality. If you do not learn this now, you will never go insane.
2. Stop trusting people. It's easy to not trust a stranger. Try not trusting your best friend. Everything they say is a lie. Were you there when whatever they said happened actually happened? Do you think such a fantastic story was likely? If this is hard for you, which it may be, start small. If someone says they only slept for 3 hours last night, realize that they actually slept for four or five. If someone said that they went to the dentist for a routine cleaning, realize that they were actually there to get a filling. By doing this, you will eventually begin to question if your mother is actually your mother, and if when someone tells you they love you, that there is something devious, some alterior motive behind those seemingly tender words. Don't think that another person loves you, simply realize that there is something they need or want from you.
3. As you stop trusting your friends, trust everyone else. Trust the starnger who pushes you out of the way and says "get out of my way". What they mean is that the way was there's. Whatever higher power may exist, whatever is lurking in the shadows, has decreed that the way was the strangers and that you were trespassing. When someone says "God bless you", they are a prophet. They may not even know, but believe that God has told them to send you His blessing. Once you begin to question your friends and blindly trust those you've never met (this may take some time, so make sure you are convinced that your friends are trying to deceive and that strangers are there to explain and educate), you are ready to move onto the next step.
4. Trust your friends. You were wrong. If a friend says that 2+2=5, they are right. They are your friends and they are only looking out for your best interest. Instead of questioning their logic, figure it out. They are right, you may just not see how. Figure it out.
5. Realize you were wrong. Everything your friends and loved ones once said to you that you disbelieved, you must now unconditionally believe. Convince yourself that what you once convinced yourself of is wrong. You should be ashamed for not trusting your friends and loved ones. Your friends should be mad and want to punish you, but they wont. They are your friends. You will punish yourself. You lied to yourself. You were actually able to convince yourself that everyone else was wrong and you were right. But you were obviously wrong. You are not to be trusted. From now on, question everything you say or do. Are you speaking the truth? Are you really who you say you are? Once you realize that you are not who you say you are, you will be able to move onto PartII which will be posted at a later date by me or someone who closely resembles me.
