Our species loves to pretend, don't we?
We wonder if the Internet and all this white noise is really a bane or a blessing as we see that we talk more about what we think and feel while we see that the results seem to be more stubborn and fascist reactions from those who seemingly control the actual course of things, or, at least, pretend to better than we can.
We grow up on fairy tales, stories and religious convictions that are solidly and solidly inserted into our developing minds way before we have the capacity to accept, reject, or sort them out with any logic or reason. Heck, we don't even really know that we are a separated ego for many years. And after all that, when we go looking for the actual "mind" that this was all inserted into for the sake of survival and fitting in, we can't even find it. We can find a restaurant or a bookstore, or our right and left hands even, but we can't find the mind that we are told we have and that tethers us to everything that seems to take greater precedence over the organism that supports our very journey through this experience.
And so, we might yearn for some sort of maturity in a culture, (another big abstract like, "society") that talks about maturity but uses its vast and burgeoning manifestations of knowledge no better than children in Kindergarten could change the break pads on their parent's automobiles. We don't really see much in the way of maturation as we ponder the early mythical level we are raised in and the ensuing one that takes root in adolescence where idealism comes into play.
Then, we encounter the realms of logic and reason, that is, if we are able to transcend the fears of hell that religion invokes and then find a spirituality that is for those who have already been to hell. Reason and logic are merely a desert that you wander through to the point that, if you get it, only seem to be a segue to something transcendental and even intrinsic in our very nature -- something overlooked and therefore, seemingly impossible to grasp or experience. Mandalic reasoning comes when you take the time and effort to see that thoughts, reasoning, and intellect, all manage to turn back around into themselves, just as Relativity shows that space-time is curved and does the very same thing. That is a place that is pregnant for what is called an Archaic Revival. There may actually have been a form of intelligence that was not only natural, but easily accessible to our multi-million-year-old bio-computers. For now, that has been put aside and its legacy is squandered on the noisy, cacophony of verbalization as catharis, that seems to signify, as some now see, absolutely nothing when it comes to impact and effect.
If you ponder that and it makes you consider what yielding to your own nature might encompass and convey, then you might just be ready for the next wave that looms under the surface of the nightmare we call ordinary reality and might just be waiting to be born, like electric lighting and the automobile, under the very surface of the facade that is replacing our legacy currently.
It was once thought that we would never be able to fly. Many things were considered impossible and we are in an age when possibilities are daily disproving those conceptual barriers. The next, and most important barrier, may very well prove to be our own, personal, ideation about reality and what is actually going on. That may be our most difficult task and an invitation to the very greatest potential we, as a species, may have.
Throw off the Dominators. Do what you can to see more clearly. Give up the need for catharsis in place of action and actuality. That may imply a future that is above and beyond and far better than what we are being forged into believing.
