Star of Babylon

What does Babylon look like?

If you must ask this question then simply look in the mirror

But you haven’t the strength to see it

Look out the window
Look on your tv
Look into your thoughts

You live in Babylon every day
But it is not the world you live in
It is the world you see

It is the degradation of perception through language structure
It isn’t one particular teaching
It is each of them

He who sees Babylon and knows it has reached the state of no-enlightenment
No one sees it through argument or coercion

The language of Babylon is the language coding one uses
The state of Babylon is geographically situated in the brain
Its ruler is the one that projects his thoughts unto others

The message is domination of the conceptual landscape
The weapons are arguments by those who profess to be blind
It insists in believing in the stupidity of others
It justifies its power through fear
