Boilerplate

If a man has but a small amount of discernment

He can investigate and observe

What is being said in the world.

 

From podcasts

To books

To media

To guru’s

To lectures

To “mastermind meetings”

Anything and everything . . .

 

With his properly functioning brain

He can examine

What is being said in the world.

 

He can examine

What is Available in the world.

 

It requires no great leap of imagination

That it will not take long for him to recognize

That all that is available in the world

Is Boilerplate.

 

At the bottom of every prospectus,

In the fine print of every medication,

In the small print of any brochure,

There is Boilerplate verbiage.

 

The entire world,

It does not take a genius to recognize,

Consists only of Boilerplate.

 

An “expert” is invited on a podcast.

He is asked various fluffy questions.

The expert provides various fluffy answers.

 

Things such as how he has been doing,

What the weather in his part of the world is like,

And various small talk and chatter is given air time.

 

The expert gives his talking points

Which have been rehearsed prior to coming on.

And if they have not been rehearsed intentionally

He has given the speech a million times before

At various lanyard-clad conferences.

 

He says that you should do this and that.

The host says it is difficult to do this and that.

The expert says you must persevere.

The host tells a self-deprecating joke as to how difficult it is to persevere . . .

 

Jokes and entertainment

Are the undercurrent of the entire conversation.

 

In fact,

If there is more than one host,

There will be an increased number of jokes.

 

Because there is a compulsion

To fill the white noise.

 

Because there is a compulsion

To “entertain.’

 

After all,

The audience has “tuned in.”

 

And the more that “tune in”

The more will “push the button”

To “like and subscribe.”

 

Why is a book

300, 400, 500 pages?

 

The reason is

Because of Boilerplate.

 

The author must provide charts,

Or activities.

Or tell his success stories with clients.

 

The story of Sally M

Who did the prescribed method

And became full of glee and is now living happily ever after.

 

Everyone is saying

The same thing.

 

Because everyone

Is salivatingly enslaved

To the masses.

 

They want the largest possible audience.

They want the most “likes and subscribes.”

 

So that they may send their “newsletters”

To the widest possible audience.

 

There is no problem

In having a subscription

Or making money

Or saying anything whatsoever.

 

One may do

As he pleases.

 

But what exactly is

A “newsletter?”

 

News about what?

 

About the latest products

One wishes to peddle?

 

There is nothing wrong

With peddling a product.

 

But the product

Is more Boilerplate.

 

Prescription, prescription, prescription.

Joke, joke, joke.

Platitude, platitude, platitude.

 

This is all

That is available

In the World.

 

There is nothing Real

Anywhere in this fabricated society.

 

Nowhere.

 

Why are there thousands

Of podcasts?

 

Why are there millions

Of books?

 

Because there are millions

To entertain.

 

There are millions

To beg for “likes and subscribes.”

 

One is free to have a podcast.

One is free to write a book.

One is free

To do anything and everything he wishes to do.

 

But if it is Boilerplate

Has he really “done” anything at all?

 

How long does the joke-induced smile last?

How long does the drivel remain inside someone?

 

Nonsense and drivel

Has only the Effect of conditioning.

 

It does not

And cannot

Have the effect of Transformation.

 

Boilerplate

Is legalese.

 

Boilerplate

Is redundant and uninspiring fine print.

 

Boilerplate

Is throw-away journals.

 

Boilerplate

Is trite, worn, and toothless cliches.

 

Boilerplate

Is filling air time

With sounds and noise.

 

Blah, blah, blah.

Yap, yap, yap.

Hooray, hooray, hooray.

Ha, ha, ha.

Hee, hee, hee.

 

The books of the world

Are but letters to fill empty pages.

And once the pages are filled

They become more empty

Because of the Boilerplate that filled them.

 

The podcasts and media of the world

Are but sounds to fill the quiet of airwaves.

 

All things in this world

Are but Filler.

 

Nature does not abhor a vacuum.

Humans do.

 

They fill the vacuum

With words and sounds.

 

Like street noise.

And the sound of a garbage truck

Tossing a trash can.

 

All in this world

Is noise.

 

All in this world

Is Boilerplate.

 

And for he who seeks something Real

Or Transformational . . .

 

For he who seeks

Something more than Entertainment . . .

 

The world

Has nothing to offer him.

 

 

Namaste.
