Be a mutant. Be unreasonable. But being unreasonable is not a license to act out every caprice. Many confuse the preconventional with the postconventional. For example, many think they are being rebels by being promiscuous, intoxicated, and irresponsible. But this is preconventional. It is even more primitive than the conventional and it certainly doesn’t transcend the conventional. Infantile unreasonableness is not to be confused with mutant unreasonableness. Deviate from the program, but by being more life-affirming and more evolved than what the matrix expects you to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":894,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"acf":{"card_id":"433","title":"Defying the Babylon Matrix","caption":"
