There is no such thing as a new you, 2022 New Year’s resolutions are an illusion
2022 New Year continues the tradition of obsession with the material world. Starting during thanksgiving we participate in gluttony and the very next day on black Friday indulge more in material pleasure. Wintertime historically was spent getting in touch with the soul. Animals hibernate and store food for the winter, not becoming gluttonous. Our easy access to food, entertainment, and comfort has made us neglect our inner world more than animals. We’re taught to start the year off by being sold the self-improvement trap. Who really is going to lose weight as body positivity becomes more of a thing?. Who is going to pursue their passions without a job to fund it since everyone is resigning? The irony of New Year’s resolutions is that doing the inner work and small little things may yield the results you’re looking for. But if you want to become someone else, I regret to inform you it’s not possible. There’s no such thing as a new you, 2022 New Years’ resolutions are a Maya trap.
We informed our resonators last New Years that nothing is new, but just a repackaging..In the material realm, America has made great technological advancements to the world during the last century. Things we take for granted, such as transportation, ambulances, hospitals, sanitization, and A.I…In the spiritual realm, however, America is buffering, lagging behind contrary to how we want to be perceived as the moral police to the world. It is this mindset that will ultimately become the downfall of America. We’re programmed to want to fix and solve things, often at the expense of others and ourselves. In fact, have you noticed that no one ever comes to America from abroad for spiritual revelation?
Immigrants flock here to bathe in material luxury and support their families domestic or foreign. Yes America has beautiful landscapes and nature preserves outside of sky scrappers but that bout it. Maybe it’s because this land was built off opportunist and bloodshed, regardless, the pilgrimage to the U.S. isn’t religious or spiritual. India, Egpyt, Ethiopia, and even South America are sought as spiritual escapes from the material of first-world living. The fact that you think you can make a new you as if you’re on an amazon assembly line is blasphemy.

Often when the American government wants to intervene in the daily affairs and “help” disastrous results appear. The “weak” become dependent on assistance and fail to develop true independence. And/or were manipulated to lord over more access to our daily lives.. 2022 New Years resolutions are no different. We want to “help” and “improve” on what is already perfect by GOD.We destroy and tear down the environment and build it pretty again with expensive buildings or houses. We perform construction on the earth just to drive our tires and walk over it in our shoes, we don’t even acknowledge the earth or connect to it. One could argue our relationship with nature reflects our relationship with people. Are we mindful and patient with our surrounds or see everything outside of ourselves as improvement? Sure man by nature is meant to control and tame chaos but at what expense?
How deep are in the rabbit hole of an identity that your self-help will have detrimental effects?. For example you want to lose weight to look good and take pictures online. So you work out and robotically track food to get your results. Instead, acknowledge first that you’re not your body, that regardless of your weight you are spiritually the same Atman. Acknowledge your relationship with food, are you an impulsive and or an emotional eater? why? Many people have lost weight dealing with the emotional trauma behind their eating before even exercising. When we’re mindful of our eating we eventually can stop tracking calories. When we have a relationship with our inner selves we will know that we’re not hungry and it’s ok to skip a meal. Fasting is one of the best spiritual practices to get in touch with our inner world as well. Eventually, we begin to realize that food isn’t what we make it out to be. It should be nourishment and not overindulgence. Your body and spirit will thank you later. True transformation starts on the inside, not the outside like we’re taught in the material world.
We see change and “Improvement” being done all around us all the time and somehow managed to apply this to our personal lives. It is up to you to change your thinking, perception and listen to yourself. To not buy into an identity and feel bad when you can’t meet the expectation set by society for it. Furthermore, realizing the Atman indestructible force within us combats the fear that is used to control us through media, news, etc. When you hear people see that you are on earth having a human experience this is what is really being said.
In conclusion,the real you is the Atman, not your weight loss, or new career, or whatever 2022 New Years resolution you’ve set for yourself. Regardless of whether you achieve these goals or not you are the same Atman unaffected by the external world. Otherwise, it wouldn’t take so much manipulation to convince you otherwise..
