I feel, it's time to get back in the feels. To feel an emotion(s). To really let them turn you from the inside-out. We can shut them off too quick, too fast. I know, I've done it a million times already. Distractions can help take away some of their steam, and drugs might even put them to sleep. But, how long does it last?

So much is taking us away from the moment, ourselves, and the experience of it all. To live, and to be is truly becoming a lost Art. Infrastructures have been set in place, specifically to hi-jack reality, and to skin our sovereignty and sense of self bare. And the digital space has only exaggerated this truth.

“Only when we have their attention can we hope to win their hearts and minds.”

― ERIC SCHMIDT and JARED COHEN, The New Digital Age: Reshaping the Future of People, Nations and Business

As much as Eric Schmidt (former Google CEO) and other Technocrats like to glorify a world where AI machines break the barriers and become self-governed; to reason, remember, and act, alone. In essence, to be more human-like. This couldn't be further from the truth. Although, with a little bending and sacrificial willingness, they can possess and host the human body.

BCI's (Brain Computer Interfaces) will have their use cases; illness, disease and brain related disorders. But, what I'm afraid will happen, if not already. Is their marketing and commercialization to everyone. To go any further on how this can look, would take us beyond the heart of this post. However, observing the world around you, can illustrate my point. Endless wars, civil unrest, one crisis after another, terrorist if not local, then abroad. And sometimes without a face, but a virus.

It may seem as if reality is overrated, boring and we are powerless to change It. And that, is the perfect breeding ground for a multibillion dollar industry to make its move on society and the minds of billions of people. With entertainment, gaming, virtual reality, and other forms of neuroweapons of manipulation.

From Ancient Rome to Modern Times, It's Bread and Circuses all over again.

All this is meant to distract us from ourselves. It takes us away from our connection to Spirit, Nature, Emotion, Intuition, Imagination, Reason, Love. True ingredients that help with framing and building a reality beyond the illusion imposed on us. And this happens by simply, being.

What is your individual experience?

Have you stopped running, hiding or trying anxiously to lose yourself in a story that isn't yours?

Some say the "eyes never lie", and others have said "the body keeps the score." To get back to the feels, and the experience of it all. With awareness, attention, stillness, and simply being. The veil slowly starts to fall, and masks crack. Like a candle lit, your inner world comes to life. Its medicine, poisons, treasures, and phantoms.

This is part of what being human is, it's what separates us from the Machine. Someone who's embraced the totality of their own, individual experience. Is someone who is very hard to control, deceive, and manipulate. And that is why there is billions being spent to actively distract, disempower, and destroy the individual self, in each one us.

Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world. Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before. Let your soul take you where you long to be. Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar, and you’ll live as you’ve never lived before.

— ERICH FROMM

P.S

As I finished up this piece, my wife came in with lunch. She brought home some take-out, and the food came with a couple fortune cookies. Mine read -"only those who grow up and remain a child are truly people."

'Til very soon,

PEACE.
