Everything you do at any moment is governed 100% by your programming—the teachings you received from schools, temples of worship, family, and society in general. The depth of this programming and your belief in it determine your actions and behaviors.
But what if you were to delete everything you were taught by the media, schooling, and places of worship? Would that help you discover and follow the true path you set for yourself?
The answer is always yes. The only reason you don’t follow your own true path is because your programming has set restrictive definitions and parameters that limit you from being your true self.
The question then becomes: Why don’t we just delete everything we were indoctrinated with and start living our lives authentically?
If you do that, you will quickly discover a huge obstacle: other people's opinions. The key is to follow your own path regardless of what others think.
The fear of what peers, family, and others will say determines people's way of life. This is not who they are, what they want to be, or what they really want to experience. I learned that one can lead a life for others, not for themselves. I chose to eliminate this fear and, along with my life partner, Sara Mays, construct a path that I am proud of and that feels liberating from my perspective. We all have different perspectives, and they are all valid.
What truly rules people is one word: F-E-A-R of repercussions. I feel this is the only element that prevents people from being their true selves. To circumvent this, people often live double lives with the false hope that no one will find out, which opens the door to manipulation.
My life partner Sara Mays and I have positioned ourselves using our own philosophy. Because it is liberating from our perspectives, it allows us to make decisions together. I follow what I call Observational-Logic, which I define as: never believe what you're told, and only believe what you observe—over time.
Observational-Logic has taught me that society’s dictates are not only fear-inducing and harmful in the long run—as I find them quite stressful to abide by—but also long outdated and ancient. Life is about experience and evolution, not indoctrination and fear. Furthermore, do not judge or make false assumptions about others simply because you believe that seeing certain things automatically makes them negative or bad.
Some might question the gothic aspect of my life. I've created my own version, which is basically living outside of what society dictates and following your own path. Don’t let others impact you by ridiculing you; they have their own agenda, and fear stifles the weak. I do not see "goth" as defined by mainstream media; that is an indoctrinated version, not mine.
Conclusion
If you tell me something, I will not believe you outright, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt. Your actions over time will determine my Observational-Logic towards you. Your actions and behaviors, based on your definitions and beliefs, will paint a picture of you for me.
My motto is: Live and let live. Do what feels right to you, keeping in mind others around you. Walk your own path, and people's approval or opinions do not matter.
The most important rule is: Don’t push your ways and ideology on others.
