does knowing we are contained within a box give us more control over our attachment to the box?

Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,1
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

And the people in the houses
All went to the university,
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and lawyers,
And business executives,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

And they all play on the golf course
And drink their martinis dry,
And they all have pretty children
And the children go to school,
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university,
Where they are put in boxes
And they come out all the same.

And the boys go into business
And marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

we could look hilariously pathetic and insane right now.


LSD made me realize how insane I must look from a standpoint of objective awareness most of the time. I am often totally insane. I often walk around looking at people and buildings and cars and birds as if I'm expecting to gain something from them that will finally make me happy and at peace; having conversations where I tell stories about myself, relate my 'opinions' about things like sports teams or my professors or the weather; feeling as though these stories and opinions are who I am; etc. Like Tim Leary said, "insane robots living in boxes".




So funny you mention this...after I made my last post in this thread I remembered having read something by Leary and his experiences with LSD, and how he considered committing himself because when he'd take acid, and reflect on his everyday activities, they would seem hopelessly absurd and aimless - and he kept having this experience. I remember when I read that, thinking "Goddamn, sounds just like me!" Especially after a breakthrough DMT trip, I get this really strong feeling that I've been wasting my life not trying to...what, exactly, I'm not sure...furthering the collective consciousness/share the experience/turn people on...or something??? That I spend so much of my life wrapped up in the grind; keeping myself distracted with petty ego matters and physical pleasures; acting 'sane' and playing dumb to what I think my greater calling really is...sleepwalking essentially, like everyone else. In fact, the first time I smoked DMT, the circumstances leading up to which were pretty trippy themselves, this deafening silence within said "USE YOUR LIFE WISELY!". Sadly I don't think I've heeded that one too well.
