Mining the Depths of Reason: One Man’s Journey

Over the past few years, I’ve done a great deal of harm to myself. I feel it in my body and I can see it in my face. My avatar’s lifespan has probably been shortened by several years, if not decades, due to the intensity of psychic, psychological, and emotional energies that have been emerging and culminated in the paradigm-shifting events of 2020–2021. The psychological warfare we all went through (and will continue to be subjected to daily) was undoubtedly a peak experience, but for people like me and those who are similar to us, this is just a part of the ongoing inner/outer mental/spiritual struggle that we face throughout our lives.

The Dream

There’s the dream
That’s been shadowed
By the rain
By the constant weight of fear
Do the echoes break my stride

There’s the dream
That’s been covered
By the skin
By the weightless swell of tears
Can you hear the crying shame?

Status Quo, Part 4: Escalation

It appears that at least once per generation, and on numerologically significant dates, events are orchestrated to shock and traumatize the human collective. The unsuspecting masses are abruptly interrupted and knocked unsteady while simply living their lives, enjoying familiar routines, pursuing their careers or vocations, practicing their arts or trades, bettering themselves, or providing for their families.

Status Quo, Part 3: War, What is it Good For?

War is a racket, both as a loud and disturbing noise, as well as an illegal or fraudulent enterprise. All wars throughout history were and are based entirely on lies, misdirection, propaganda, and fabricated narratives, employed with malice aforethought by those who have the motives and the means.

The story presented is not the real story, though it may be sprinkled with a few true facts here and there, to appease an easily misguided and misled (emotionally manipulated, mind controlled) populace. In a world of no real scarcity or lack, where humans are generally calm, caring, compassionate, collaborative, and empathic, it’s astonishing how readily and repeatedly we are goaded into playing right into the lies. Never are we to find a steadiness and lasting balance within a construct that appears to have a negative bias by default.

Status Quo, Part 2: A State of Things

The less dependence you have on the State, as well as their manifest, declared State of Things, the healthier, wealthier, and more peaceful, productive, loving, and naturally wise a human you’ll likely be. But can we operate in any meaningful capacity while practicing strict detachment from All that Apparently Is? For most of us, some kind of external authority informs, disrupts, and intrudes into every aspect of modern life. Is it possible to simply turn it away, shut it down, and turn it off? Can we, and would we want to accept full responsibility for ourselves?

Not likely. Not in any hurry, at least, not without significant and terrifying disruption to our ideas of normality, safety, and security. Not without shaking the foundation of all that generations of relative prosperity and abundance have entrained us into relying upon.
