“Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself. This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I’m offering is the truth. Nothing more.”

~ Morpheus from ‘The Matrix’ film

Whenever we as human beings commit misdemeanors or suffer from one of many vices which effects others or ourselves, we sometimes justify our behavior by blaming the Devil.

How many times have you heard someone say, “The Devil made me do it.” whenever they have been caught being on the wrong path in life?

However, rapper Jeru the Damaja, who is a prophet in his own right, says we are in fact making the Devil happy.  The very same devil that man has conveniently created to give him a excuse to neglect virtuous actions.

As you all should know the Devil does not really exist (well, I hope not).  He is just a metaphor of all what’s wrong in the world with all its ignorance, violence, greed, selfishness, manipulation, corruption and, most sadly, lack of self-knowledge and wisdom.

We are indeed the devil himself.

The fact of the matter is that this so-called devil has the capacity to be within all of us, and it is in our power not for it to possess us and weaken our resolve for doing good and improving ourselves.

In the following enlightening tune, Jeru portrays in lyrical form how the devil’s maniacal grip on one’s consciousnesses and conscience can bring about nothing but pain and destruction to one’s character, body and soul.

Arise my fellow humans and stand up for nature, humanity and self-knowledge!

Mr. Lif drops some wisdom in the following thought-provoking tune, as he advises humanity to reconnect with nature and our spiritual selves, and to turn away from divisive and destructive man-made machinations.

I have to agree with Lif  in regard the ubiquity and popularity of today’s technology (iPad anyone?), which has inexplicably all but disconnected our consciousness from nature and one another – as I have previously written about in the post Living Consciously in a Technological World.

We have also become ever more dependent on this technology to help us live our lives instead of relying on ourselves, which is setting a dangerous precedence, especially regarding us ever achieving the most important goal – and that is, self-knowledge.

Most worryingly, Man’s ignorant capability of being able to destroy this planet with his mechanical toys because of war is becoming increasingly possible in this present climate of uncertainty.

Unfortunately, the evidence of all this is plain to see within myself, as I sit here alone at an inanimate object typing this blog, instead of being outside with the people that I love whilst basking in the sunshine and absorbing all the wonders that nature has to offer.

The basic instructions before leaving earth is to pursue the true knowledge and wisdom to free our minds and live a righteous and joyful life, that’s according to hip-hop artist GZA.

As you will no doubt see in his lyrics, GZA’ s B.I.B.L.E is perhaps a true interpretation of what a holy book should be, as it instructs us on how we can become like gods and make this planet a heavenly place to live.

The first things we must start with is ourselves, and to always seek truth no matter what…
