UNCONSCIOUS ONES: ELUDED PARROTS LIKE GROWN UP CHILDREN

 

“We were born here; if we are not taught how to speak we shall not know how to speak.

We are true parrots that only speak what we have been taught, at great cost and great pain and great struggle, always studying, for in the end to come to ignore everything, even not knowing at least who we are.

And thus we live in that prelude of illusions as true grown up children that elude themselves for everything.

And thus we live with a life that is not ours, and for that reason, all of a sudden, we lose it.

And thus, living eluded by what is not ours, living eluded with life and with all the belongings of life; eluded with the appearances, eluded with the fantasies, eluded with the arts, ignoring the why of them, eluded with the science.

We think we know a lot and we know nothing.

Living like grown up children, for living eluded with everything.

Eluded with the apparent and passing beauties.

Eluded, we think that we are what we are not.

Always dreaming and eluded with the dreams.

Eluded with that life, with that nothing that does not belong to anyone and for that reason everything has an end.

And thus, living of illusions and eluded with everything, as true grown up children, for being unconscious.

And for being unconscious we are here in this class of animal; and an animal has no consciousness of the why he is an animal.

And for being animals, in that state, in that class of unconsciousness, we live thus, horribly eluded with everything and eluded by everything.

And thus, the animal life is just illusions.

Everyone eluded by everything: by the appearances, by the fantasies, by the dreams, in short, by everything.

It is the animal state, living eluded, living badly, as if you were grown up children.

And for being the children that you are, you preserved the backwardness.”
