You Live Your Dreams with Minimalism




Validate Your Life : Productivity and Minimalism, Tech, Atheism, and More show

Summary: At advanced forms of minimalism you realize past 'clutter item' (that you eliminated because you're becoming an advanced minimalist, right?!  Right!) were props that were part of a 'character' or 'role' that you were playing.  That character-husk role DID have costumes and peculiar weird material belongings that weren't really yours because those past things were relevant only to a -non-dream-fulfilling' character.  I studied acting and was a student of acting for a time (which basically ended after taking a 120 hour intensive boot camp at the Acting Corps in North Hollywood, where I realized Hollywood was a cult and that acting, although I had intermittently pursued that career in 2000, 2001, and (when living out of a 1990 Grand Jeep Wagoneer briefly around Venice, Malibu, WeHo, and other gorss putrid places like Los Angeles, CA, USA) in 2006, just completely wasn't me (or at least in those locales wasn't me).  But I'm quite certain that that career interest of acting was a derivative of what a biological relative or two wanted me to do, and they were likely vicariously living out their own dreams of acting through their eldest offspring, but again as I said before heeding the vocational wishes of ancestors is fulfilling no one's wishes because of the inevitable disparity between great and great-great- and great-great-great, etc. ancestors whom likely would've wanted you to do different things.  I deduce that because a relative once said, while watching the academy awards, 'Ah...if you were at that awards ceremony then you'd be 'successful''.  But I wouldn't be successful winning or not winning anything at some silly awards ceremony where shaped metal-alloy mini peculiar statuettes are occasionally handed to people after people in the said Hollywood cult want to burden someone with an obnoxiously cluttering statuette...because such a weirdly obnoxious ceremony would be (is) irrelevant to my career and my own dreams. Conclusively in the podcast one thing I expediently delve into is escaping the agendas of others.  Ancestors often have a lot of 'hopes and aspirations' for one's offspring.  I have seen horribly, heinously toxic coverage of parents carting off offspring to modeling shows because the parents themselves maybe wanted to be a model.  Similarly, some parents (usually fathers) hijack a son's or daughter's future by getting the offspring to do some peculiar sporting-athletic activity at a young age (like swimming or soccer, for example) BECAUSE the parent vicariously (and pathetically and destructively) wanted to live out their own dreams selfishly through their offspring. Right...that's quite complex, but it's also simple, and I elucidate more on that in the podcast.  When you have minimalism, you become aware of how others' agendas may have encroached on your life maybe having caused you to do what felt like 'a waste of time'.  Such a realization can be, needless to say, infuriating.  However, no fear because minimalism is here (and there)!  Advanced forms of minimalism involve you ceasing pretending to 'have a life' by living out someone else's dreams as some husk-character. In the podcast I elaborate on how living out the dream of a parent is so heinously idiotic and as irrelevant and stupid as going back into the past and inquiring what one's great-great-great...(times 100 or so) grandmother from the 1300s or what one's ancestor from 3000 b.c.e or what one's great-uncle (whichwhom one is related; you do have relatives from all those past eras) from the 1500s wanted you to do with your body and mind, because with a ridiculous amount of certainty those past 'ancestors' would certainly disagree!  There would  be disparity to what your ancestors wanted you to do with your body and mind and voice, so therefore it's really your choice.  One ancestor might recommend building microchips to install in people's brains, another may want you to be a shoe cobbler, another probably wanted you to be a gymnast,
