The patterns repeat, dressed in new language and cloaked in the sheen of progress. What is sold as innovation or freedom is, more often than not, another inversion — another tightening of the grip that siphons time, energy, and life-force. To speak plainly of it may seem severe, but clarity demands it: we are not witnessing advancement, but a deeper entrenchment of the same parasitic system that has stalked civilizations for centuries.

We live in an age where perception itself is managed — where the boundaries of reality are defined long before we even begin to question them. Beneath the noise of politics, media, and technology lies something deeper: epistemic capture. It’s not simply the control of decisions, but of the very conditions of knowing. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it.
We stand at a strange precipice, where the old order frays at its edges and new frameworks are ushered in under the banners of justice, equity, and reconciliation. Yet beneath the surface, what passes for progress often masks deeper manipulations, a rearranging of power that serves the same masters. To look at UNDRIP and its unfolding in British Columbia is to confront that paradox — possibility entwined with peril, renewal haunted by control.
We wander through a maze of narratives, where each turn presents another inversion, another layer of obfuscation, another carefully constructed detour from what is real and true. To pause, to step aside from the rhythm of repetition, is to notice how much of what we’ve been told is fragmented, distorted, or simply fabricated. The deeper we look, the clearer it becomes: truth is not radical, nor hidden in “dark matter,” but elemental — woven into the very fabric of being.
There are seasons when the path bends back on itself, when the call is not forward but inward. Retrograde and recapitulation are not regressions but invitations — to slow, to re-trace, to gather what was scattered and left behind. The journey is less about discovery than about remembering, less about adding than about releasing. It is here, in the pauses and reversals, that essence begins to shine through the layers of illusion.
