Who is the American Robot? Although it pains me to admit it, I am. In fact, we all have a little American Robot in us. According to Happy, Ever After, the American Robot is an individual who lives day to day, week to week, and year to year on society's autopilot. Instead of questioning, seeking, and discovering what's true to ones own experience by freedom of choice, we opt to allow society to act as the control panel behind ALL of our choices.
Is the American Robot an exaggeration? Is it unfair to generalize American society in this fashion? Most honestly, I laugh and say NO. No matter which area of life we discuss, we are, some way-some how, victim of this mind poison. Chances are, we are born into it, after all, we are offspring of a generation that portrayed smoking cigarettes as the ultimate cool and sexy social accessory.
Who are you and why are you who you are? What do you eat? Why do you eat what you eat? How do you love? What do you love? What do you have? What do you want to have? Are you healthy? Are you stressed? What stresses you? Who do you aim to please? Are you pleased? What pleases you? What are your plans? What are your goals? How you answer these, if answered honestly, will reflect the inner American Robot that lives in you.
Knowledge and self education of all areas of life are key, but you must make the choice and put forth the effort to be the greatest version of yourself. It all starts with understanding yourself as an individual created unlike any other in the universe- remember no two individuals have the same fingerprints (not even "identical" twins). We are made with uniqueness. Understanding how we, as human beings operate within this magical universe will seemingly feel much like a fairy tale.
What is your life like? Are you acting worldly or universally, in nature? Are you the product of the universe, or victim of the world? The world operates within the universe, so it makes perfect sense to become aware of your universal abilities. As you become more aware, you will come to understand how much control you actually have in creating the life you actually want. You will begin making choices that make you feel happy and healthy from head to toe, unlike the stressed out and miserable American Robot, trying to keep up with the Jones' (the American family of robots).
Question EVERYTHING! Build a relationship with yourself; a relationship that cannot be destroyed. Become the bag of tools you need to have a happy and healthy life. Once you begin to focus on YOU, you will progressively become YOU, destroying which once was...the American Robot.
