We’ve built our world inside a tiny box. We call it progress — this civilization of economies, technologies, treaties, and trade. We’ve been sold the idea that this box defines who we are, what we’re worth, and what we’re meant to do. But this box is not the whole world. It’s not even close.
. . .
Your country, your continent, the entirety of civilization under current systems of economy, treaties, banking, trade, and technology — none of it is the whole world.
Today, you can hold the “world” in your hand through a smartphone. But are you truly experiencing it? That five-inch screen delivers only a version of reality. Rely on it too heavily, and you’re left with little more than eye strain, neck pain, and the illusion of understanding, comprehension, and connection.
The more you buy into the oppressive idea that life is defined by technology, commerce, money, mining, wars, progress, and plastic surgery, the more you cloud your judgment. You begin to mistake ignorance for truth, becoming lost in the cogs of the machine. You end up buying things you don’t need, believing politicians, thinking you can poison yourself into health, and suffering from spiritual sabotage — all while acting out as an emotionally stunted adult child.
But here’s the truth: What is most real, most true, lies beyond words, beyond calculation, beyond all the things we try to control.
If you think you know what love is, even the mention of it should stop you in your tracks. Love can’t be commodified, quantified, labeled, or packaged. It can’t be boxed with greeting cards, chocolates, or plastic wrap. All of that is just a superficial, commercial attempt to limit the infinite.
The world is far bigger than the small box we’ve built for ourselves.
The question is: What will you choose?
You choose your diet, your education, your environment, your sources of information, and your cognitive biases. You choose your present, your future, and yes — your figurative and literal wounds. You choose to heal and to harm, again and again. You choose whether to be hardened by it all… or not.
This world is more expansive, richer, and more vibrant than we’re ever told. Go beyond the limits of the box. See it for what it is. Love it for what it offers. Live it fully. Give yourself to it without hesitation.
Let the old you fall away, again and again. Step into the fire and recognize the flames as your own. What burns away was never truly you. What remains is what always was: pure, unbounded, alive.
Keep your eyes open. The whole world is waiting.
Love your life
