Digital Letdown

an unraveling

We go through our lives in this digital age, on sensory overload. We get told "Your life sucks; you need THIS product!" We get told how we'll never be happy without blah-blah. We are conditioned from a young age that we will find our purpose in this life out there in the rat maze, being a slave to the 1%, and that we'll never attain true happiness unless we cram our round selves into the square holes of the cold, indifferent system. Our brain applies filters on this overwhelming amount of information we encounter on a daily basis, based on what we expect to find, and all that influences our perceptions greatly. Two people can see the same news stories and get something completely different out of it depending on how they are programmed!

This is how we get conned into believing all this nonsense. . . Us & Them, Democrats & Republicans, Godless & Godly, Christians & Muslims, Foreigners & Natives, Welfare Recipient & Contributor, Heathens & Chosens, Saved & Lost.

What it really boils down to is the 99% of people who want harmony in this world, and the 1% who want us divided, disenfranchised, weak, and powerless. And what we really need is to stop paying attention to all the bullshit. Anything that makes you look at another human and feel or think that they are less than you is a lie. Anything that makes someone who is "just following orders" feel justified to kill another man who are themselves "just following orders", or even for defending their way of life. . . that is a fiction. Remember, "just following orders" doesn't necessarily stand up in war crime trials. . . Remember, together we stand and divided we fall. The choice is ours. . .

The LooT

a declaration

They say that the pen is mightier than the sword. Well, I say that the lute reigns supreme over all, and here is why.

E = mc²

We've known this for over 100 years, but no one knows what it means, really. This is because we are not really taught what it means, other than to be familiar with it as the most important insight in known history. There are other factors involved, too, like conditioning to be lazy and not curious about the universe around us, and being too busy with distractions of the circus and the rat race, personal quests for glory/fame/money/etc.

This singularly-epic equation tells us that energy and matter are interchangeable. We are all made of matter and, armed with this understanding, can draw the clear inference that we are just light (or, rather, ENERGY) condensed!

By comparison, sound is just sine waves too. It's pattern, repetition. Time. Pater (father). Creation. Matter, mater (mother). . . that's the experience. The visible universe. That's us. We are a bride in that sense. But we have to grow out of these lies and illusions that tell us we are a bride to the to the patriarchy and elite! We are not sheep to be sheared, have the wool pulled over our eyes, and be led like a lamb to the slaughter. WE ARE THE HUMAN RAYS! Each with our own unique spectra!

This, in turn, is why music feels so essential to our souls. It's a DIRECT analogue to what we are veritably made of. There's gotta be something more to the reflection this analogue contains, but it's something we likely won't understand scientifically for some time to come.

Sadly, most just listen to the mostly garbage on the ray-dio. But there's lots of good stuff out there, too, at least. There will always be connected artists out there in the main stream, broad-casting their musical enchantments. No stacked, money-hungry system can drown out every voice.

And this is where I see my calling rise forth. I first became interested in music because of the ocarina in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. From the time I was a young teenager, I could only ever see myself up on a stage, creating and sharing. But introversion was a major problem. Then a few years later, I met someone I desperately needed to avoid, and so I chose the opposite path.

But let me tell you, I stand here before you today to say that if you know what your calling is, that dream of yours that just won't go away, stand up and claim it. Pull it out of the realm of thought and manifest it into existence. You are the only one who can do it. You can spend 10 years avoiding it and denying it, but you'll only be running in circles. It doesn't matter how thoughtlessly cruel others may have been or will be. We are the wardens of our own destiny.

Realize Reality

a call to alms

Man, it's been a long time since I composed one of these! I must say it's good to be back! I feel it was worth the wait, however. My first message to you all comes in the form of a story.

Once upon a time, there were nothing but single-celled organisms here on the earth. They lived in competition with each other over resources and in whatever other manners because, well, what else are they gonna do? But then one day they realized. . . hey. . . wait. . . we are all meant to be a part of something more. "WE ARE THE BODY" (if you really want to look at it that way) of something bigger. . . IF we recognize it and work to that goal. And then look what happened. There became the ability for beings like you and us. They became the vessels of something capable of much more. A higher form of consciousness derived from them. Of course they are still exist and have not lost their autonomy or sentience. They just work for a greater purpose now, for better or for worse.

And this is where we stand now, in the annals of OURstory: the turning point of realizing the same thing about ourselves. The way the universe (this universe, anyway) works is that all the bad things cause us to come back stronger, evolve--or die off. All the good things propagate more good. So it's win-win, either way. But once we realize that we don't HAVE to perpetuate the bad things, that we are above them and we can focus entirely on the good, then we can get on with evolving!

Not evolving along the old paradigm of devour-to-survive, either. Evolving along the mental paradigm that depends upon how much we know and how much at harmony we are with the world due to the things of which we become aware. Of course, the old evolution still goes on concurrently. But that's the beauty of this universe! It's all connected and you can't get rid of a single piece!

 Now, to step aside from the visions and so forth, and tie it into a left-brained perspective, here is the mechanism I see in operation here. I know most scientists privy on the matter would agree when I say that evolution appears to be an exponential function. That is to say it moves very slowly at first, but then gains speed as time goes on, and old outputs of the embedded functions that drive the evolution become the new inputs of the next generation. This evolution drives toward higher sentience until ultimately we become able to seek the truth of the world around us, rather than just speculating. Then the same process continues, until knowledge compiles upon knowledge and we reach a crescendo! This is reaching the vertical asymptote of the exponential function!

Then what? Well, I say that we then move onto the next function. The n+1 function, or maybe n++ is the purest way to say it. This is, as I see it, what happened when quarks became subatomic particles for the first time, subatomic particles become atoms, atoms become molecules, the molecules become proteins and DNA, those things become the first cells, the cells become us: beings. And what are we to become? Who knows. Wait and find out! We've obviously been working together as societal constructs for longer than recorded history. But there's just something psychotic (in the good way) about knowledge and awareness. When we become fully aware of the power that we hold, the possibilities are truly limitless. We progress to the next iteration. It's something I've felt for at least a good ten years that science has either taken for granted or just not even thought about. What does it take for this process to happen? Cronos and Gaia. Time and matter!

We are all conditioned to think inside the box, that if science doesn't currently know of something it can't be true so you might as well not waste your time on it. Let me tell you, if the great minds of our past had thought that the current time's accepted knowledge was all there was to know, there would veritably BE no science! We need to find our way back to what we REALLY need to be guided by. . . an educated intuition. The psychic sentience that is verily what science and gnosis are really all about! Seriously, there IS no box, so why in the hell would you want to think inside one?!
 
Remember, it is always darkest just before dawn. Realize the Reality that is extends all around us! The universe leaves a trail of breadcrumbs everywhere, but no one is patient enough to take the time to look Everyone is too intent on seeking what they want to believe, instead of seeking the TRUTH. Everyone is too content to know merely that they BELIEVE, instead of knowing what they can KNOW. They gaze blindly around themselves without open mind nor open heart, unwilling enough to step aside of the rat race of distractions. Well, let me tell ya, you can hold  a beach ball under the water for a very long time, but it's going to get tiring eventually! And you'll have to apply more and more pressure--more and more deception and lies and conditioning--in order to keep it there. But eventually it is inevitable that nature has its way and the beach ball pops to the surface in striking fashion! Spread the Good Un-Whirred! Not your ass cheeks for The Man!
