Even if you think that you think for yourself, it is possible that you actually aren’t. Falling into unthinking is incredibly easy for anyone and everyone, including you. This is why you constantly need to ask yourself whether you’re thinking? This goes back to the “Question Everything” mantra.. Do I really want what I think I want? Do I really believe these things? Do I really care about x, y and z? Is Jane actually being truthful with me? Are my parents? Is my government? What about the media?
Every day make sure that you’re thinking for yourself. Otherwise what the hell is the point of having a “consciousness”?
