Who is Zooming Who?
Shia Labeouf, lawless
Man is the only species
"moved" by time itself—or at least the image of a self in time. The appearance of a movement of the image creates time in the psyche which then unbeknownst to itself further "motivates" the passage of time...
In a blind vicious loop man is caught unable to perceive the illusion, especially when it is supported by everyone else in the 'hood...
And outside the hood
by ostensibly all the successful selves selling their own version of "movement": Arnold Schwartzenegger, Rocky Balboa, Tony Robbins, Shea Leboeuf, you name it...
It never occurs to anyone that "motivation" might actually be (part of) the problem! That the machinery of thought itself is the culprit. Imagine the challenge: How would one assail and deconstruct thought itself? Where does it lurk? Who would assail it? The very question already divides the subject from itself and makes self inquiry a contradiction.
And yet, man is not at peace.
There still remains something to do. This poor species cannot remain at peace alone in a room, even if the room was the African plain... You can also be sequestered in a zoo or a reserve by standing outside of nature!
And who will be first to deconstruct the myth of their own success? Who will be first to resist selling out to the movement of success? Who will be the only non-starter? The only infinite regressor? If you don't find the "immoveable," the "eternal."
Hence,
everyone sells us their brand of personal evolution through movement and motive...
Everyone except one man...
