Ghosting the Soul: The Virtuality of Life

March 17, 2023 / Iam Saums / 2 Comments

“Everything we experience in social reality is a simulation.”

Heredity of Maturity

All of us are afflicted with the social psychosis of adulthood. When we were younger, we observed our elder relatives as the standard of maturity. Many of us followed a similar path they did with a plethora of indoctrination, institutionalization and programming. We assumed the role of a qualified, respectable and responsible member of society. All the while, our soul, intuition and heart were dissected, oppressed and abandoned, sacrificed for namesake, status and wealth. Yet, it did not pan out in a way that empowered, evolved and fulfilled us. We simply conditioned ourselves to become a variation of our parents.

A Bitter Pill

When we acquiesce to the currents of social reality, we emulate ourselves as projections of personality. Oftentimes, when someone presents alternative topics, cognitive dissonance rises in all whom have logged a lifetime of social programming. When we encounter diverse viewpoints, we are conditioned to resist releasing old ideologies for a transcendent vision. Universality, to our fixed, linear perception, causes a personal paradox, crashing our regimen of knowledge, history and relativity. Our arrogance and ignorance defensively flex in a feigned attempt to appease our pursuits for an artificial sense of security.

Believe It or Not

With all of social reality’s narratives, manipulation, prejudice, propaganda and rhetoric, it is nearly impossible to distinguish one’s unique, personal truth from society’s chaotic symphony of lunacy. Eventually, we accept and apply biased, social deceptions to our behavior, ideology, intelligence and lifestyle. When we are confronted by the diversity of another’s experience, our defense mechanism is to debate, discredit, demean, ridicule and ostracize them with our unbridled fear and ignorance. We enable our self-righteousness at the cost of genuine belonging, expression and understanding. Our distrust of others is simply illustrative of our disbelief in ourselves.

Matrix of Enslavement

For a decade, I have been writing about the intricacies of how we are enslaved by social reality. Whether or not we choose to observe that entities, governments and organizations impose a virtual matrix to enslave humanity is irrelevant. If we do not see it now, then we simply are not paying attention. We are too preoccupied with its triviality. Our fear denies and devalues our soul, diminishing and destroying our personal power. As unbearable as it may seem to be with and accept alternative perceptions, our greatest quality is to embrace diversity. Our universal purpose is consciousness, creativity, evolution, freedom and transformation.

“Many of us know how we exist, few of us understand who we are.”

Human Aquarium

Social reality to us is like water to the fish. Because we are assimilated, we fail to see how detrimental it is to our experience. We do not sense it; therefore, we fall prey to its influence. We interpret it as “reality,” then move on to its next simulation of social bliss. Our sporadic attention spans enslave us into the vicious cycle of momentary gratification, governed by our desires, obligations, routines and reveries. The exploitation of amusement, education, media, politics and religion corners us into delusion, diversion, indifference and uncertainty, as we spiral out of consciousness into the vortex of existence. Social reality is the artificial boundary of the human aquarium.

Immaterial Purpose

Our greatest epidemic is our monetary dependency. Social programming desensitizes us to the influence and impacts of our oblivious proliferation of greed. Fiscal endeavors can be perceived and achieved in many ways, yet none supersedes the egocentricity of earning more at the cost of others. The dynamics of business have become an acceptable, common standard for competition and conquest. The ultra-wealthy’s gluttonous addictions and psychoses perpetually push the boundaries of global economic collapse. The rest of us enable our enslavement with our participation in their engineered marketplace.

Ghosting the Soul

We are phantoms of our universality. During our social indoctrination, we willingly sever our connection with our soul, intuition and heart for conformity. Beyond the fullest extent of our apathy, cognitive dissonance, cynicism, denial, intelligence, mystification and victimization, we are the shadow of our soul. Our fear manipulates us to “ghost” ourselves. We hide behind the defenses of our personalities, emulating the worst of humanity and acquiescing the best. We are an idiom of reactivity, yielding our power to everyone and everything, beneath the veiled, social threat of being held accountable, authentic and benevolent.

Silent Partners

There are millions of dedicated, altruistic people, both on and beyond the world, who send energy, healing and prayers to all. It does not matter how educated we are, our ideology, politics, religion or status. We can always receive the universal energy of being, healing and love. How we choose to accept and apply it to our life is entirely up to us. Maybe we believe we do not need another’s help. Maybe we believe it is an expression of weakness, trusting others for guidance, support and relativity. The eternal question I would ask, “how is that working?” In an egocentric, social reality, we know it may. When empowered by our universality, we understand it does not.

The Power of Choice

We make millions of decisions in our lifetime, yet these are distinct from choices. Surviving is a daily, instinctual decision we all make. Thriving is a conscious choice only a few fulfill. Will we continue to settle for the insanity of doing things over and over again with a same result? Will we break this vicious cycle and choose to transcend the enslavement of social reality? Will we embrace and express the multidimensional energy of our universality? Every moment is an opportunity to transform our being. Choosing to shift our experience is the key to our freedom. All it requires of us is to align and relate with our soul.

The Virtuality of Life

Everything we experience in social reality is an illusion. This is not to say nothing is true. It simply does not exist within the virtuality of “life.” No matter how excruciating it is to accept this truth, we cannot transcend our enslavement without being free from the simulation. Being, consciousness, creativity, empowerment, evolution, understanding and transformation do not survive in social reality. They thrive in the synergy between the universe and our soul, when our mind and body resonate with the energetic frequencies of our intuition and heart. This equilibrium is essential in becoming an expression of universality. It is our soul destiny.

“Virtuality is how we exist. Universality is who we are.”

A History of Mystery Continued….

“When we release the illusion of reality, we experience the truth of being.”

Four years ago, I published an article, “A History of Mystery.” I recommend reading this first.

A History of Mystery

Originally published on July 12th, 2019

Rude Awakening

In this piece, I shared a few of my personal experiences shifting into and exploring diverse dimensions. One I am most present to in this moment happened twenty-five years ago. Right after falling asleep, I found myself in a vast domain, standing before a massive wall of energy resembling the illumination and movement of fire. Everything else around me was white space. All I recall was stepping into this energy and shifting into the beyond. Mere moments passed before I returned to my body, awakened by my girlfriend.

The Boundary of Being

Since this experience, I observe this energetic barrier to be a boundary. In my understanding, when we cross this threshold, everything we encounter of this world remains in a vortex of what we perceive as “reality.” All we experience beyond this boundary is the energy of the universe, and its synergy with our soul. When we return to sensory awareness, we are unable to recall our transitory, universal experiences. Our body and mind are incapable of comprehending multidimensionality. Terrestrial existence is primarily instinctual and intellectual, with periodic emotions and rare epiphanies of intuition.

In the Darkness of Oblivion

27 years ago, I was in a musical group and living the party life. One Summer afternoon, I was taking a nap, prior to a performance that evening. After falling asleep, I found myself in a domain of utter darkness. I was in a deep pit, and I sensed the disturbing presence of entities all around me. As they drew closer to me, I was immobilized by negative energy. In sheer horror, I found a focus of will power to break the vicious cycle and escape the ominous doom seeping into my soul. Eventually, I pulled myself out of this wicked realm, gasping with terror, as the residual dark energy surged through my body.

Duppy Conqueror

For over half of my life, I have encountered these entities more times than I would choose to recall, in many diverse dimensions, environments and incarnations. Each time, they became craftier at entrapping me. A year ago, I had what I believed to be my final experience with them:

I found myself in the backyard of my childhood home, playing with neighborhood friends. I suddenly shifted to the family room of the same house and heard thunderous footfalls approaching down the hallway toward me. A dark spirit, unlike any I had confronted, held me down on the ground and proceeded to lash me with its fists. Three entities circled me (the same ones from the pit), crawling like legless slugs. I found my will power, and for the first time, released a powerful, vocal roar, stunning the entities into fear and annihilating them for good. The dark spirit vanished, and I awoke empowered with the sense the entities had been defeated.

“The darkness empowers our light.”

The Shadow of Empowerment

What I experience is frightening to my core. It disrupts my equilibrium, intensifies my emotions, scatters my thoughts, frays my instincts and occasionally leaves me physically wounded. Yet, in all my experiences, my awareness, confidence, courage, energy, insight, prayer, strength and understanding has expanded beyond my imagination. In reflection, I realize the experiences inspire a unique, personal empowerment. Howsoever my instincts, thoughts or emotions interpret them, they are all universal. The duality of social reality programs us to believe in the black and white of dark and light. Yet, there is so much more…

Revenge of the Duppy

A few months after my experience in my childhood home, I drifted off one night and instantly shifted into another dimension of my bedroom. I looked up to see the dark spirit that had been attacking me in my previous encounter, standing over my bed with a wicked grin of malicious intent. Its eyes were blazing with a fiery glee. It had a silver, white aura, and a black form like the vacuum of a starless sky. I rose to face it, (which was the first time I recall moving in another dimension.) As I stood, it thrust its hand into my chest. I could feel its darkness pulsing through my being, viciously and violently seizing my energy. My focused will power severed the dark tether and I returned to my body, gasping for life with every breath.

The Cost of Consciousness

Many may believe consciousness is an illuminating experience of empowerment, enlightenment and ecstasy, an adventure of discovery, exploration and fulfillment. In some ways it can be, yet in most ways it is not. My personal experiences with consciousness have been extraordinary, insightful and powerful, as well as arduous, horrific and perilous. Beyond the energy, focus, intention, balance and expression it requires to establish and sustain awareness, there is a darkness we all must face, our own. This is the most terrifying experience we will ever encounter. It is the cost of our consciousness.

A Solar Return

24 years ago, I met a healer who practiced an East Indian ceremonial tradition. She performed an ancient healing ritual on me, and I instantly shifted consciousness:

I was walking down an octangular, glass corridor surrounded by brilliant light and flaring fire. When I focused my vision, I realized I was on the Sun. I came to a door at the center of a solar flare and crossed its threshold into a large octagonal room. The only illumination were fire embers moving through the grains of its wood-paneled walls. In the center was a massive, uprooted tree, stripped of its bark, with its gleaming roots sprawling throughout the space. There was an altar at its heart, and I was drawn to lie down upon it. I shifted again and returned to my body on the healer’s table. Later, I discovered this was my soul’s ritual of being born.

Our Common Experience

I feel to the roots of my soul we all have these experiences, uniquely sourced by our resonance with the universe. Our only distinction: some of us recall them, while others are unable, or unwilling. Our engagement in social reality inhibits our natural ability to intend and fulfill their eventuality. Personal consciousness creates and empowers our experience. We all have a soul existing omnidimensionally in the universe, which empowers our potential to explore beyond the boundaries of our being. Our absolute question remains: Are we willing to release the illusion of our persona to embrace the truth of our soul?

“Conscious experience synergizes our soul with the universe.”

The Experiential Awareness of Being

February 10, 2023 / Iam Saums / 1 Comment

“We are as conscious as we are present.”

Soul Sacrifice

We are born into physical reality with the feelings, thoughts and behaviors of our ancestors. Existence in social reality is inhibited by the programming of our education, engagement, heredity, intelligence and religion. We instinctually and intellectually adopt and enact perceptual filters to insulate our solitary lifestyles. Our desire to be right supersedes our need to express our truth. We are defensive when we encounter anything distinct from our individual and socially adopted narratives. We sacrifice our personal power, becoming victims of addiction, exploitation, fear, influence and insecurity. We eagerly chase peer affirmation for a superficial existence.

The Vortex of Our Oblivion

We settle for a life of anonymity, as it seems the easier way. Yet, surrendering our personal power to entities and organizations, reliant upon our acquiescence for the imposition of their control, is the cause of society’s current conundrum. We are born an eternal being into a physical form. Yet, we are afraid to acknowledge, become and express our unique soul. Through our exposure and interaction with social reality, we eventually devolve into a vortex of egotism. All who succumb to the selfishness of their desire are the vacuum of a black hole. All who choose to express from their soul are an emanation of the universe.

Against All Odds

We are conditioned to preoccupy our lives with trivial amusements, obligations, pastimes and pursuits. Social reality constantly distorts our focus of awareness from establishing an equilibrium between our instincts, thoughts and feelings. This essential balance brings us into alignment with our intuition, soul and the universe. Our apathy, fear, insecurity, institutionalization, perceptual filters and self-righteousness prevent us from experiencing and becoming the fulfilled expression of our being. Our bodies and minds are cluttered with artificial sensation and thought, enslaving us with virtual reactivity to social reality’s engineered exploitation.

An Act of Will

At any moment, we can shift our experience. The contemporary standard of living is to be born, deceived, enslaved, manipulated, programmed and inevitably die. No matter how we may elect to perceive these human conditions, they are the result of the social reality we cling to for credence, meaning, reference and relevance. Awareness of these probable outcomes are opportunities to break the antiquated patterns of our instincts, thoughts, feelings and behaviors, to align with our heart center, intuition and soul. Conscious experience is an expression of our focused will. A spark that lights the fire we kindle with our vision and intention.

“It is our birthright to create and empower our awareness.”

Self-Awareness

Experiencing relativity in our environment and society begins with understanding ourselves. Not the function, history or knowledge of what we do, yet who we are being. We are all victims of collapsing and compounding our profession with our identity. How we sustain ourselves financially is not an expression of being. Making this vital distinction frees us from becoming prisoners of our programming. We cannot be self-aware until we are related with the universe. Self-awareness is transcending our environment, transforming our relations and empowering our being with our intuition and soul.

Social Consciousness

Once we establish and sustain our awareness of self, we can apply and express consciousness in our social engagement. Our soul, intuition and heart center empower us to be as present as possible in our relativity with society. The most important practice in all our relations is to listen. When we provide an authentic environment of listening, we are expressing our being. The greatest gift we can give to another is the experience of being heard; appreciated, recognized and validated. We inspire personal power with our listening and acceptance of who they are, beyond their expression, emotion and intelligence.

Existential Understanding

Everything exists in some way. Yet, it is not how we exist; it is who we are being. Shifting our paradigm of perception from surviving to thriving may be the best way to embody existentialism. Our institutionalization conditions us to endure the positive, negative and neutral elements of our experience. When we are motivated to simply live through our challenges, we are not really living, we are evading. We misinterpret these powerful opportunities as problems. When we are empowered to consciously progress through these experiences, we are evolving. Our understanding of existence expands, inspiring us to become solutions.

Experiential Awareness

We are multidimensional beings with the potentiality to have omnidimensional experiences. This is our universality, sourced by our soul’s synchronicity with the universe. Our intuition conveys our soul’s empowerment through our heart center, into our mind, body and environment. It is our personal destiny to become aligned, balanced and empowered with our unique experiential equilibrium. Our omnidimensionality creates, expresses and manifests our fulfilled experience. Living life in the simulation of social reality may seem like a gratifying encounter for some. Experiencing being in the eternity of universality creates awareness for all.

“Being present in the present is experiential awareness.”

Beyond the Threshold

“The difference between kneeling and standing is empowerment.”

Upon Reflection

As I was writing the final paragraph of my previous article, “Written in the Stars,” I realized it may be my last. In the years I have been publishing articles, I have rarely experienced a block, rut or a lack of inspiration. Fortunately for me, there has always been a creative energy flow guiding my fingers. Yet, I became present to the common, elementary level of comprehension contemporary society exhibits. Being conscious to this dynamic was incredibly disempowering. For fleeting moments, it challenged my passion to translate universal understanding into earthly experience. This article is an expression of the universal empowerment sourced from breaking through the personal barriers of static perception.

The Forest for the Trees

Recently, I had a conversation with my friend Lorenzo Malowane of “The New Agora/The New Now.” As we both shared our experiences with publishing alternative information, I observed society is mired in a pyramid-scheme paradigm. Another friend sent me a link to a new website that had all the “usual suspects” of metaphysics and spirituality. Chances are you have seen them. Perhaps you have even taken their online courses, read their books, “follow” them on social media, watch their YouTube videos and attempt to practice their individual interpretations of an idyllic, spiritual lifestyle. Enlightenment that one does not discover, explore and establish for oneself is simply a cult.

Social Paradox

For as much as we do not want to be told what to do, we eventually abandon our personal power. Whether it is the impressions passed from our parent/relative, preacher, teacher, politician, employer, spouse, friends or associates, the hypocritical paradox of artificial, social belonging consumes our creativity. Authoritarian entities and organizations are successful at coercing us into acquiescence, simply because they have enacted this paradigm of control, of which we enable with our participation. They give us the illusion of free will. Yet, we are aimlessly and helplessly reliant upon the dualistic design of social reality. We are willing to be manipulated due to our apathy, fear, lifestyle preoccupation and absence of self-trust.

The New Paradigm

In our conversation, Lorenzo asked if I had any ideas about how to shift the common paradigm of social comprehension. In that moment, something inspired me. A recollection came from our last New Agora/Autodidactic interview “Communicate Your Freedom,” regarding listening being the essence of communication. Being heard, valued, and through this experience, ultimately empowered. In my perspective, it is not about telling people what to do. We all know how effective that practice has been throughout the course of human history! It is about empowering others to create and manifest their own unique expression of destiny.

“We all need to express our universality into being.”

The New Era

Ten years ago, during the Winter Solstice, a universal energetic shift began. It was the completion of a twenty-six-thousand-year cycle, and the beginning of a new era. Since then, we have all been shifting into universal experience, whether we are present to it or not! When the “Plandemic” occurred, (yes it was planned!) it was a multifaceted, energetic distortion and diversion to prevent the ascension and progression of our personal consciousness, which would empower us to transcend the duality of social reality and become an expression of universality. (Read this sentence again!) The fulfillment of how the new era exists in our experience is empowered by who we choose to be.

Face the Music

We are provided infinite opportunities to face our dramas, fears, inadequacies and traumas; navigate through them, glean the benefits of the experiences, and release the rest. (Which is what we need to be doing right now!) Yet, it is much more than just acknowledging, accepting and knowing their purpose. It is all about understanding. Once we move through them with a conscious heart and a keen intuition, our challenges only persist if we remain attached to them through our instinctual, intellectual and emotional dependencies. Sure, we can hold on to our hurt, be right and in pain and covet our suppressed agony like our forsaken innocence. However, as present as we are to our experience is as empowered as we are to heal.

The Power of Empowerment

When we align our body, mind and heart with our intuition and soul, we are empowered by the universe. Being centered, grounded and present to the source is an omnidimensional, energetic experience. This is the true power of empowerment. In every moment, we have the opportunity to relate with our universality. Beyond the trivial happenstance of ordinary existence, an abundance of extraordinary experiences is ever evolving within the expression of our creativity. (Be with this!) Shifting our focus of awareness from the constant imposition of social reality empowers us to embrace the universal with every conscious breath. Choosing to be an expression of our soul transforms our experience.

Beyond the Threshold

All of us are on the threshold of our personal empowerment. We have been shifting into the flow of universality for over a decade. Our social perception cannot comprehend the transcendent insights of our universal being. Understanding is the gateway to experience. It is impossible to describe universality with words. This is a unique encounter for each person. However, the commonality we all share is our relativity with our soul. We all now stand upon our personal threshold, peering into the great mystery with curiosity, hope and wonder. Beyond our fear of the unknown awaits the realization of our universal being. Embrace and become the shift of its empowerment!

“Beyond the threshold of our humanity, we are all one with the universe.”

Written in the Stars

December 16, 2022 / Iam Saums / 2 Comments

“Writing is my expression of streaming the universe.”

The Heart of It All

The content I write about in these articles is not popular, nor does it fit the engineered storylines aggressively broadcast by mainstream entities and organizations. Their strategic narratives are biased, perceptual interpretations “based” on fact, yet very distinct from truth. Social reality is not “reality” at all. It is simply a virtual analysis of events analyzed by “experts.” (Those who are indoctrinated into societal institutionalization to the “degree” they are unable to create their own unique observation.) What I am inspired to write may often be read as trivial by the standards of elementary social survival. For many, the articles simply are not relevant.

Alternative Propaganda

My friend Elva recently asked me why I thought more people were not reading our articles, and did those who “like” them on social media actually read them? I pondered this and realized, what we choose to write is so diverse from the narratives of society, it falls on blind eyes. In my humble observation, even alternative media networks are steeped in the dualistic paradigm of social reality. Otherwise, they probably would not have as many people clicking, following, liking and sharing their content. Such as it is, for all who promote themselves at the expense of their authenticity, consciousness, ethics, experience and integrity.

Social Impressions

Before I had the cognizance of awareness, reality and society always rubbed me the wrong way. It is disempowering, oppressive and superficial. Whatever justification we feign to accept, adopt and assimilate into reality, it will always be a social vortex, prodding us into the oblivion of action, thought and egocentricity. To me, it is all about acknowledging we have been swindled into solitary, selfish and trivial lifestyles, enabling a dream for the few, and a nightmare for the many. I feel some people may read these articles and identify me as a conspiracy theorist, radical or even an extremist. Believe what you want, you will anyway!

Beyond Reason

I have always endured a degree of criticism, judgement and ridicule. Most of us have. Fortunately, I have become accustomed to the social backlash in response to my controversial and diverse observations and perspectives. They have become a watermark for me to measure their impressions. Yet, society marches on to the beat of its arrogance, entitlement, politics, religion and self-righteousness. I do not begrudge these aspects of human nature. I simply choose not to give them my attention, energy, listening or reaction. We cannot enforce, impose or even inspire others to shift. They must create this for themselves.

“I am not interested in knowing anything. I am empowered by understanding everything.”

From the Inside Out

My method of writing is intuitively extensive. It is an intimate experience that brings great insight and understanding. It usually takes a week, sometimes two, to write, re-write, edit, revise and publish an article. I am not paid for this. Yet, I do experience a personal fulfillment that transcends monetary return. I take great risk in sharing my observations and perspectives, especially now. Some may classify me as a revolutionary or even a terrorist, simply because I express viewpoints most would choose to ignore. I do not have attachments or expectations of how they will be received. This brings me an abundance of awareness, energy, freedom and inspiration.

The Progression of Composition

With every article, there are initial sparks of insight, creating a momentum of conscious empowerment, and an expansive environment for understanding and literary expression. I become present to all beyond my own experience, observation and interpretation. My greatest challenge when writing is choosing the ideal prose to convey universal being, energy and understanding. I encourage anyone who visits the website to always read between the lines. The words provide an intellectual link, yet their understanding is contingent upon the reader’s personal discovery. Finally, I choose a clear and concise vernacular, to best express the universal.

The Task at Hand

Writing against the habituation of the institutionalized mind is an incredible endeavor. We are programmed everyday by a multitude of medium, intent on conditioning and controlling our feelings, thoughts and actions. If we perceive this observation as conspiracy theory, then we are simply unwilling to exercise awareness. This paradox of reason is eventually transformed with our consciousness. To me, it is about shifting the indoctrinated many from being mired in the mind to empowered by intuition. My intention is to inspire others to create this for themselves. Yet, the expanse between doing and being is as vast as the journey from our head to our heart.

Universal Opportunity

In my humble observation, we demean, devalue and procrastinate the extraordinary experience and personal power found in relating with our soul. Given the strict parameters of social reality, our spiritual relativity is nearly impossible. There are infinite dimensions within us, our environments and our experiences, empowered by our choices, creative expression and who we are being. We all have the potential to embody and express the energy of the universe. Writing is my personal opportunity to share in words all that inspires me to make a difference by being an expression of creative consciousness.

The Rhythm of Resonance

As I have mentioned before, I do not believe I write these articles. I choose to imagine they are empowered by the universe. Observing, understanding and applying these insights requires the intention to temper my ego, allowing me the vision and personal power to center, focus and ground my being. Through the practices of creativity, meditation, prayer and yoga, I become present to my intuition and soul. These daily rituals help me to stream the universe. We all have a unique energetic resonance. It is the vibration of our relativity with our soul, empowering our epiphany, evolution and transformation.

As I Stand

My literary method is intensive spiritually, intuitively, emotionally, mentally and instinctually. Often, I have contemplated shifting my creative expression from writing. For all the energy, effort and time I devote, the apparent response to the articles pale in comparison. Whenever I find myself in this space, I remember what my friend Elva once told me. “If we reach one person, it was all worth it.” When writing articles, my experience is like standing in the center of a sphere with a multi-faceted mirror surface, reflecting every dimension of my being. Thank you for choosing to share in the experience!

“Writing with the universe has revealed who I am.”

Source and the Mediacracy

December 2, 2022 / Iam Saums / Leave a comment

“Mainstream media is a crime against humanity.”

Broadcast Controversy

Six corporations control the global mainstream media. The editorialization of information has proliferated dogma, propaganda and rhetoric, driven by our selective inclinations. The news is not a broadcast of factual data to maintain our relativity with the pulse of current events. It is opinion, propagated by commercial agendas to deceive, distort and manipulate perception. Ratings, clicks, comments, likes and shares determine the information we receive. Advertising and entertainment are methods of conditioning, utilized to delude, distract and pacify the masses. Yet, we eagerly assemble around our devices to feign social intelligence.

Mainlining Mediacracy

Cell phones, computers, tablets and television screens are the modern projectors of artificiality, receiving and transmitting toxic electromagnetic energy to the user and their environment. Our fascination with their functionality has distorted our perception, causing an excess of social psychoses. It is an epidemic of oblivion, inhibiting our way of being, consciousness, destiny, evolution and universality. We are biological and psychological software programs, coded to accept the laws of reality as the rule of life. When this is challenged, we defend and enable its existence with our social programming.

Media Matrix

Our frequency of interaction with the media matrix is the degree of our programming. We are conditioned into a simulated lifestyle, congruent with our self-exposure to social medium. All things begin with energy. The energetic signature of the mainstream media is artificial, intense and negative, inciting and spreading fear. Our instincts become prone to anxiety with the virtual threat of a pending doom. We are inundated with intellectual information, coding our neural pathways into vicious cycles of arrogance, entitlement and egocentricity. Our emotional awareness is distorted and diminished, separating us from our intuition, soul and the universe.

Soul Sacrifice

Our coding is wired with the fear of losing what little control, possession, status, security and vanity we believe we have. Yet, we willingly surrender our personal power at every opportunity. We endure reality instead of empower experience, collecting whatever fleeting memory we can capture. We wager our authenticity, enlightenment and fulfillment for social superficiality. All the while convincing ourselves intelligence, knowledge, productivity, reputation and wealth are the standards of happiness. Meanwhile, our body and mind deteriorate with the absence of our heart, intuition and soul.

“The mainstream media imposes awareness; the universe empowers consciousness.”

Enabling Enslavement

All forms of media desensitize us to the horrors of human existence. Whether it is war, genocide, environmental annihilation, inequality and injustice, class, cultural or racial superiority, our exposure is excessively toxic. We are socially assimilated into competition, debate and division, where we invest our focus and energy into a surplus of social terrors, enabling their realities. These atrocities persist due to our obsessive tendencies for egocentricity. When we become disinterested, distracted or indifferent, we simply scroll or swipe our screen for a more desireable flavor of artificiality.

Totalitarian Programming

Our social programming is so gradual, we are unable and/or unwilling to trace its momentum. It is even more challenging to discover and observe its course. We acquiesce our personal power with our engagement in the paradigm of the mediacracy. If our enslavement was accelerated, many of us would notice and cause an uprising. This is the primary purpose why its progression is at a snail’s pace, to control our personal perception and prevent our freedom. We simply fail to acknowledge its influence and impact. We are preoccupied by an elaborate system of desire, delusion, diversion and exploitation. Therefore, we are oblivious to the atrocities we enable with our participation.

The Means Justify the End

The design of our enslavement is evident. Harness our attention with engineered information. Destroy our personal power within the environmental vortex of society. Provoke and maintain our fear, herding us into authoritarian dependence. Condition us to police each other under the threat of social punishment and ridicule. Program our obedience with mere survival to satiate our angst. Keep us distracted and preoccupied with a steady stream of amusement, debate, pre-planned global events and societal shifts, all while abolishing our basic freedoms and rights. We are indoctrinated to invest in social reality more than ourselves.

Choose Your Illusion

Where we aim our attention is where we express our energy. It defines our experience. We are conditioned to engage in the vacuum of disempowering realities, imposed upon us by authoritarian entities and organizations, existing as banks, corporations, education and religious institutions, governments and political parties. They diminish our personal intention and power by transmuting the energy we invest with our participation into sustaining our individual enslavement. The payoff we receive is our anger, apathy, indifference, naïveté and self-righteousness. Mainstream media feeds our insatiable appetites with content customized for our oblivious consumption.

The Currency of Reality

Since we are in the simulation of social reality, we are blind to the profundity of its exploitation, influence, impact and programming. Furthermore, we choose to refute its existence, believing our willful denial will somehow prevent its inevitability. Where we focus our attention is not just where our energy is expressed, it is also where we acquiesce our personal power. What is our greatest inconvenient truth? We alone cause and enable our enslavement. Knowing, let alone understanding, we are the cause of our social oppression is the vital epiphany empowering our freedom.

Transcendental Shift

We are given infinite opportunities to sever our tether with the mediacracy and social reality. Every day we have the choice to tune out from the peripheral programming and tune into our soul by listening to our intuition. Who we are is established by the quality of our source. Awareness of current events and their engineered complexities may harvest knowledge of society. However, consciousness empowers understanding, manifesting our universal experience of being. When we are enamored with the bells and whistles of the mediacracy, we are only emulating artificiality. When we are related with our soul, we are sourced by the universe.

Universal Source

Our soul and the universe are one. Our intuition resonates with the energy of our universality. This synergy between the universe and our soul empowers us to transcend the duality of the mediacracy. Our heart center enlightens our mind and enlivens our body with this energy to transform us, our environment and social reality. Breaking the vicious cycle of artificiality is our common purpose. Creating our unique experience is our personal destiny. When we observe, understand, express and embody our universality, we are one with all. Everything else is opinion.

“Streaming universality is the source of conscious experience.”

The Experience of Empowerment

“Reality is enabled by the acquiescence of our personal power.”

False Personality

There is a commonality in all our personal rackets. Those which we expend all our effort and energy to defend with our false personalities. What is a “false personality?” It is likely the one reading this article. Our false personality is the virtual projection of ourselves we present to the world. One cleverly sculpted by our social indoctrination through our education, heredity, politics, religion and social engagement. We all have one. However, it is unnecessary to conceal our fears, insecurities and triviality in justification of our personal apathy, indifference and oblivion. Unless we concede to the influence and imposition of social reality.

Human Nature

All of us believe, hear, know and see only what we want. We don’t even seek to understand ourselves or the society in which we are imprisoned, let alone all sides of our experiences. Our priorities are to accumulate, amuse, breed, consume, debate, intellectualize, proselytize and sleep. This dualistic dance sends billions of empty souls to the grave long before their time. Living in personal oblivion is the greatest vicious cycle ever enacted in the history of humanity. Occasionally, we stir from our selective slumber to rebel against things we do not fully understand. Yet, we rarely exhibit the devotion, focus or intention to transform them.

The Listening We Feign

Contemporary society does not encourage authentic listening. Most people do not genuinely hear others because they fail to heed themselves. Therefore, they echo the commotion of social reality, carelessly engaging with instinctual and intellectual declarations of ignorance and insolence. Perceptual filters blind and consume our awareness, condensing it into a competitive existence of psychological controversy. We are wired into a vicious cycle of reactivity, motivated by our feigned responses of duplicity. We do not listen because it does not sponsor the agendas and strategies our egos employ. This is the bane of our humanity.

The Listening We Are

Authentic listening begins with empathy, observation and silence, both within and without. It is an internal expression of being, aligning us with the universe, empowered by our soul and inspired by our intuition. We cannot understand listening until we hear the voice of our being beyond our unconscious emotionality, intellect and instincts. When we give the gift of listening to ourselves and others, we are a beacon of empowerment. Personally, this is the societal shift I anticipated over the last few years. However, we were so obsessed with returning to the way things were, we enabled virtual social reality once again.

“Misplaced power is the plight of humanity.”

All That Was Lost

Over ten years ago, energetic shifts in the universe began to accelerate. Those who were present to this were hopeful and inspired with the possibility of a collective progression in awareness, expression, transformation and understanding available to all. I could feel it in many experiences on multiple dimensions. No matter how authoritarian entities and organizations invented elaborate forms of amusement, distraction, fantasy, fear and trauma, the currents of energetic momentum in the universe were strong. Many were becoming conscious and empowered by these shifts. Then, the virus pandemic hijacked our curiosity, focus and intentionality for universal potentiality.

All That We Sacrifice

All of us are an infinite expression of the universe, whether we are present to or personify our multidimensionality. It is evident society does not encourage transcendent expressions of conscious being. Therefore, we are enslaved into the paradigm of social reality, condemned to instinct, thought and opinion. It is much easier to pull the wool over the eyes of humanity within a controlled environment. We have acquiesced our personal power to perceptual deception, conceding our vision, focus, intention, purpose, transformation and destiny. We sacrificed our universal being, consciousness, expression and relativity for the amusement of artificiality.

All That Is Found

Though it appears we wagered our universality for social simulations of belonging, convenience, conformity, fulfillment, reality and security, all is not lost! Our multidimensionality exists beyond the duality of our mind and body. At any moment, we can choose to shift our experience with our personal empowerment. Our heart center is the gateway to intuitive insight, inspiring us to listen and align with our soul and the universe. Enlightenment occurs when we transcend our conditioned lifestyles of attachment, egoism, expectation and materialism. We are universal energy, ever evolving and transforming into our unique expression of being.

All That Is Possible

Our soul is one with the universe. This has, is and will always be our common truth. Where we place our focus of attention is where we intend our energy. Often this is coerced and seized from us within the vicious cycles of social reality. Yet, when we align with awareness and empower our experience, we reclaim our being from the endless diversions to which we yield our personal power. It is essential we observe, differentiate, empower and transform to relate with and embody our universality. Our greatest opportunity is to manifest our creativity as our way of life. This is the natural progression of being.

The Natural Progression

All of us have a unique energy, expression, purpose and destiny. Our creativity is an embodiment of our being. When we resonate with our soul, we flow with the natural currents of the universe. Surviving social reality is a two-dimensional experience within a three-dimensional paradigm. It is the design of our enslavement. Thriving is a manifestation of omnidimensional being and understanding. It empowers our freedom. The natural progression of our universal expression requires an equilibrium of our conscious instinct, intellect, emotionality and intuition.

Experience of Empowerment

We are programmed into maturity through our dependance on and engagement in social reality. Constant conditioning, conformity and survival eventually prevents the manifestation of our personal destiny. We inevitably abandon the legacy of our universality amidst the extreme societal climates of indoctrination, institutionalization and orthodoxy. Reclaiming our personal power enlightens and synergizes our social experience. Empowerment is the momentum of our universality. Being in flow with its energy is our collective destiny. Empowering our being, transforming our experience, and inspiring others to empower theirs is the expression of our universality.

“Empowerment is the essence of conscious being.”

The Artificiality of Social Reality

The Artificiality of Social Reality

October 20, 2022October 20, 2022 / Iam Saums / 2 Comments

“Social reality is the invention of our enslavement.”

Webs of Deception

There is a bitter pill we all must swallow. We exist in a social simulation, sustained by our reactivity and replicated by our engagement. It does not matter where we may rank in the seemingly hierarchical, pyramid scheme of human society, we are all enslaved into a network of institutionally programmed existence. There is no escape. Whether we are a billionaire with six houses and twelve cars, or living in poverty, we are all victimized by an elaborate social matrix designed to imprison and oppress. When we adopt and engage in social reality, it is inevitable we will acquiesce our personal experience and power to our collective conformity.

The Echo of Life

Most of us eagerly relinquish our aspirations, creativity, inspiration, potential and vision in a misguided quest to claim our meager portion of artificiality. This has become human nature, a maturation process to cast aside what empowers for what enslaves. Once this transference is complete, we drift into the echo of life. We meet our mate, have children, hold a career and preoccupy ourselves with the amusement of our desire, entertainment, media, politics, religion, sports and social events in a vain attempt to belong and be fulfilled. Then we retire and die. For many, this is a favorable outcome. Yet, for some, it is the epitome of hell.

Entitlement and Expectation

We do not deserve anything. Just because we are born into this experience does not give us the right or reason to dominate, manipulate and propagate. We seize and decimate the natural world with the consequences of our addictions, appetites, civilizations, conditions, lifestyles and technologies. We are programmed to believe the world is ours to conquer, control, influence and destroy, all with arrogant abandon. It is our oblivion to the extremity of our entitlement and expectation which causes the gravest destruction both within and without. These two inherent qualities are what leads to our eventual decline and extinction.

Decision or Choice

The vital element in the human experience is the distinction between what we decide and what we choose. In my perspective, decisions are often accidental and unconscious reactions to the circumstances we encounter. They encourage us to minimize the impact of an uncontrollable result, while enabling our fear and insecurity. When we survive, we believe we grow from it, yet it often provokes further personal and social evasion and exclusivity. Whereas choice is a conscious expression made before challenges arise, creating empowering and fulfilling outcomes. Choice inspires us to transcend reality and thrive, aligning us with ourselves and the universe.

“We cannot discover truth within reality.”

Behind the Mask

When the world went sideways over two years ago, we were instructed to wear masks for prevention and protection. I noticed how our identity, humanity, individuality and value was erased via a health strategy, which proved to yield a low rate of efficacy. I found it fascinating how people responded to this directive. There were those who eagerly adopted the mask mandate, and those who defiantly refused. In my observation, there is an interesting correlation between the two. It appeared all whom chose to comply tended to be institutionalized, narrow-minded and private. Whereas all whom chose not to obey were diversified, open-minded and self-expressive.

The Vanity of Self-Righteousness

Any alternative perception can be analyzed, condemned, refuted and vilified. There is a massive audience of people feigning “fact,” “intelligence” and “science” to discredit anything contrary to mainstream media propaganda. It is one thing to believe in rhetoric. It is another to impose it upon others, thus preserving our personal fears, insecurities and self-righteousness. Being right is an inherent trait we adopt to safeguard the bubble of reality in which we imprison ourselves. In a world rife with authoritarian sociopaths wielding control, influence, manipulation and power, it is beneficial to find the vein of truth in the illusion of reality.

The Virus of Society

In the movie “The Matrix,” Agent Smith explains to Morpheus, “I’d like to share a revelation I had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized you’re not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops an equilibrium with its surrounding environment. But you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. A virus. Human beings are a disease, the cancer of this planet. You are a plague.”

The Cure of Humanity

Sometimes the most powerful truth comes from the villain. Unfortunately, our common social perception demonizes who we identify as the antagonist. Yet, when we observe history with a discerning vision, we will see how often the adversary made a difference and shifted the world. Humanity is its own virus and cure. The outcome is based upon who we choose to be. When we succumb to inclinations of consumption, mimicry, oblivion, toxicity and self-righteousness, we perpetuate a virus. When we evolve, transform and transcend our inherent social natures, we empower ourselves and others as a cure.

The Black Hole

We all live within the vacuum of social reality. It is a vortex which seizes our attention, creativity, energy, expression, focus, intention, passion, possibility and potential. Yet, it is not sustained by some covert, authoritarian entity or organization. Under the influence of social conditioning and programming, our personal power has been diminished, distorted, manipulated and transferred to maintain the black hole of social reality. All whom have dark intentions cajole, hijack and utilize the energy, effort and resources of others to impose their agendas, strategies and endgames. All the while, we bury our empowerment and enlightenment in the rotten soil of our ego, fear and self-righteousness.

The Bitter Truth

Beyond the familial and social bubbles of our existence, we simply do not care. We delude ourselves to believe we do. The bitter truth? Our focus is on our self and our immediate circle of family and friends. (The latter can most certainly be debated!) We feign amity, appreciation, belonging, gratitude, relativity and respect for others because we do not express these qualities for ourselves. The last few years have been an opportunity for us to go within and embrace the extraordinary natures of our heart, intuition and soul, to align with the universe and become its expression. Severing our tether to social reality empowers us to break its vicious cycle and embody universal truth.

“We are free from social reality when we become an expression of truth.”
