Too many assume humans are rational creatures, with free will.
We are not.
And paradoxically, the more you can admit that, the more free you are.
But yeah, 99.99% of our species is ignorant. And the .01% of us who aren't realized holding onto impermanent stuff (and it's all impermanent stuff) is the exact irrational behavior keeping us in chains. So they're not the ones in power anyway.
How do I become a cloud?
Jumping into a volcano might do it. I know the scientologists have something to do with valcanos. Maybe they're on to something. I think they thought their God alien thing came from a volcano though, so...
You were a cloud before and will be a cloud again.
Perhaps when you were a cloud before you asked yourself, how do I become a human? :)
I dunno, the other night I dreamed I was a butterfly and that was pretty bitchin.
