Thank you for this, I will repost, yet I find Desmet a bit flaky, and superficial even in his analysis, I have seen some of his personal direct writing on issue via repost of others like you in direct contact with him, and I am appalled.... to be where he is in the system he has to be a bootlicker of status quo.... no matter his claims.
Many thanks Mickey for posting this excerpt by Mattias. I absolutely agree with him - logic and rationality are fine tools, but they can never liberate us from delusion. Only spirituality and intuition and profound questioning of all the indoctrinated narratives can do that. Thanks for cultivating your ever-open, searching, critical, and deeply caring heart!

To break free of any narrative no matter how toxic requires self understanding and, mostly, lots of inner work. It will be painful and hence most folks live being, to be, quote; "comfortably numb". The master weavers of narrative spells are quite good(i.e. the talking heads on TV), and again, numb in their own awareness of what they are actually doing; especially if their livelihood depends on them not knowing. Free thinking takes work and when caught up in the capitalist's way of work/debt slavery the only time left may be for one's family and/or finding means of escape from this waking nightmare. Peace
