What are your thoughts on the concept of "escape"?

Question

I'm in the process of writing my second book, and this time, I'm exploring the concept of "escape" in all its forms. I know my question is broad, but that's because I welcome any and all responses to what you think of when you hear the word "escape". Thanks

Answer 1

Basically, you see toooo much contradiction. The world-game is against you, you spend time thinking through the right action... the political action, and you find that there is no lesser of two evils. The particular world must be abandoned. And that option is materializeable. It's not just a false hope. Though believing you can and manifesting it may take degrees of courage.

I might play a video game. RC Pro-AM. And belieiving I've mastered the controls proceed to play it to what I think is the end. But the difficulty increases to a point and then the tracks seem to repeat themselves. I beat them everytime, but I wish to Master the game, that is... to beat it, see the credits, have a definitive moment where the program acknowledges my unbridled endurance, a simple conclusion --"The End". But I play it for 20 hours and nothing in sight. I return to it day after day, while it sits on Pause-- and nothing. AT SOME POINT, I better question that game and turn the damn machine off!

Of course this is a triviality, people face stark oppression one might objectively say, which requires escape. But it is not so easy as turning a machine off. There are parameters IN THE WORLD you need in order to escape that world. One being access to belief that another one is truly possible. Second, the means to the manifestation of such. The money, the physical ability, the help from others, the clandestine method ( if escape is a concern and inhibited). It is desire that motivates in the end as well. Belief and means may not be enough.

It can be hard for MANY people to assess their state in life, given the parameters of the game-world they are involved in and come to Think that they can escape. You must be able to find un-truth in the system you're involved in.You must have the reflective time and ability to find the contradictions-- if you take it to be n a t u r a l, then there is no way to know there is an alternative. And so many tyranical systems do this very sort of thing to preclude the possibility of even FORMING the belief in advance of it happeneing.

You must either be very doubtful, skeptical, and imaginitive even-- defiant to an unhealthy degree, that may get you killed. Or the alternative "truth" is revealed to you from an outside source. Then you can judge the veracity of the thing you're currently involved in with much greater ease.

Answer 2

I would escape to garuntee a longer life of this body, possibly (any between a short and long moment) and I find it the best means of taking on violence or harm.

Some wish to escape from reality sometimes; however, if they are successful, they will only find themselves in reality again. But we are not here to discuss reality.

Run. Hide.
