Tis The Season

“We are not living until we are giving.”

Garland and Tinsel

I recall the scents, sights and sounds of a mid-1970’s Christmastime.  A real pine tree decorated with generational ornaments, multi-colored bulb-lights and tinsel streaming from its limbs.  Youthful excitement for mysterious gifts wrapped in festive fanfare, scattered on a traditional tree apron.  The fantasy of a man with a beard donning a red and white suit, dashing from home to home on the eve of the 24th.  Yet, the fulfillment of the anticipation wanes when the jubilation of the occasion ends.  I experienced this holiday anomaly when I collected my gifts and retreated to my bedroom.  My delight faded into the doldrums of a Christmas past.

The Thrill is Gone

There is magic this time of year that is both genuine and omnipresent, kindled by the collective belief, euphoria, fantasia, joy, love, music, ritual and tradition in the spirit of the season.  When I was spending time with family during Thanksgiving, the Macy’s parade was on television.  The progression of pomp and circumstance marched down Sixth Avenue, pumping out holiday, pop music and hocking their wares in a festive exhibition of mass consumerism.  Christmas propaganda was broadcast with clever precision by famous faces, invoking the enduring narrative and annual glitterati amidst the eager revelry of an oblivient society.  

Holiday Highjack

The origins of Yuletide predate what is now celebrated as Christmas.  The Celtic, Norse and Roman cultures, among others, observed the Winter Solstice; a four-day shift of intention, renewal and transformation, occurring from December 19th through the 22nd.  The Church highjacked the holiday to control, exploit and repress faith by enacting December 25th, mostly out of convenience for their religious narratives.  The collective belief in the Christian propaganda caused a lie to become truth for billions of disciples.  It was one of the first mass manipulations of humanity.  Social indoctrination is now a standard in every institution.

Glad Tithings

During the span of every year, my wife and I gather funds to send to our relatives who are less fortunate.  A healthy portion of our lives are dedicated in service to community.  The true spirit of tithing is to give for the sake of giving, without the attachment of receiving.  We have not had a vacation longer than a few days in over 16 years.  To me, it does not feel right to gratify myself at great expense for a fleeting reprieve from life.  What we experience through our commitments to community is beyond existence, knowledge, lifestyle, recognition and reward.  We are simply empowered by the opportunity to make a difference.

“The Winter Solstice is an energetic convergence of being.”

The Nexus

In the Star Trek movie “Generations,” while attempting to prevent the destruction of a planet, Captain Picard finds himself in The Nexus.  A place where all who enter find themselves in a blissful, personalized nirvana, beyond imagination.  It is during the holidays, and he is in a beautiful home with a wife and children, all which he has never had.  The ornaments on the Christmas trees are reoccurring, exploding stars.  In that moment, he realizes something is amiss and remembers the annihilation of the planet.  He states, “This isn’t right, this can’t be real.”  The familiar voice of Guinan responds, “It’s as real as you want it to be.”        

Festive Fantasy

Our holidays are often reenactments of fond, youthful memories, when we believed in the magic.  We design celebratory events with the desire to reproduce the same spirit we once felt.  Whether it is with family, in a familiar environment, observing traditional festivities, playing games or singing songs.  In essence, things we would not normally do any other day of the year.  Akin to the social reality in which we exist, our celebrations are not real.  They are a fleeting exodus from the gravity of our everyday grind.  When the holiday moments pass, we return to the vicious cycles of our personal and social simulations.   

The Entitlement of Expectation

For many of us, our expectancy and privilege is born during the most wonderful time of the year.  We inherit the entitlement of receiving well before we experience the empowerment of giving.  We are indoctrinated into an egocentric lifestyle as a social standard of self-gratification, exhibited in our appetite, consumption, obsession and pleasure.  Yet, privilege occurs long before our hereditary and environmental exposure to family and society.  Its origins are in the generational prerogative we adopt and emulate from our ancestors of a bygone era.  We exchange our empowerment and understanding for entitlement and expectation.  

Free to Be

When I was 25, I spent the holidays alone.  On that Christmas morning, I woke up early and went to the coffee shop where I worked at the time.  I played their grand piano for a few hours, then headed to the woods for a hike.  It was a powerful transformation, to abandon the familiar, festive routine and embrace the extraordinary experience of an exponentially unique revelation.  When the day ended, I felt personal fulfillment in the solitude of tranquility.  I still remember that holiday as a shift in my understanding, and the importance of creating and exploring the opportunity to embody the freedom of experiential being.

Universal Experience

The holiday season is evidence that we all can create the experience of joy, love, peace and relativity.  For many, this only happens once a year, namely induced by social influence, obligation, status quo and tradition.  Much as a person who goes to church for an hour a week, then cuts off their fellow patron in traffic as they rush home, so is our seasonal noel.  Every day is our opportunity to transcend and transform our existence into a universal experience.  The greatest gift we will ever receive is to empower our lives in relativity with our soul.  Fulfillment is when we express “good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.” – Linus              

Tis the Season

Once the four-day Winter Solstice Shift concludes, the holiday experience is complete.  The calendar propaganda of Christmas and New Year’s Days are virtual eventualities of time, a manipulation of social engineering to control and exploit human existence and perception with consumerism.  We often buy gifts in an exchange to receive, instead of giving in the spirit of generosity.  It is our universal expression to give all we are to all we can, with absolute abundance.  Before we were born, we made a covenant to empower, inspire, relate, transform and transcend.  Tis the season for all our relations to receive the only gift we can give; ourselves.         

“Oh, that we, could always see, such spirit through the year…”

-Lee Mendelson

A New Era

“Opinions are often given yet rarely warranted.”

On a Personal Note

I have been publishing articles for two decades.  During that time, they have endured through societal absurdity, hostility, insanity and polarity.  Though they have not received mass exposure on websites around the world, they have generated engagement and inspired a modest shift in paradigm.  However, my literary voice is a whisper amidst the aggressive, compulsive and dysfunctional ferocity of alternative, mainstream and individually propagandized media.  In a society rife with distortion, manipulation, toxification and transmutation; fact is fiction, illusion is reality, truth is a lie, good is evil and intelligence is egocentricity.              

Social Psychosis

Given our educational, hereditary, political, religious and scientific indoctrination, our selective propaganda becomes our perception.  An interpretive filter we devise to engage, interact and personify beliefs, ideologies, positions and rhetoric.  Oblivion to our egocentricity impels us to impose our viewpoints upon others with arrogance, coercion, entitlement, expectation and self-righteousness.  Our self-subscribed narratives forge our personal delusion and align with a societal illusion in the simulation of reality.  Social psychosis is viral, infecting our collective observation, relativity, vision and understanding.   

The Shift

A universal, energetic shift occurred during the Winter Solstice in 2012.  Since then, our existence in society has exponentially accelerated and intensified beyond the boundaries of our conditioned comprehension.  This quickening has made it unbearable for us to flow with the frequencies of the universe.  Excessive dependence and engagement in social reality have compromised any relativity we may experience with our soul.  Yet, the shift continues, regardless of our awareness and resonance.  This new era is an evolutionary progression of transcendence, empowering us to embody universal being.

The Matrix Maze

We are all programmed into a static, instinctual/intellectual existence, primarily as two-dimensional avatars engaging in a three-dimensional virtuality.  Our daily lives are executed in a simulation of stimulus and reactivity.  In essence, we are akin to laboratory rats, racing through a maze and searching for escape.  Occasionally, when we free ourselves from the labyrinth of reality, we eventually regress into the illusions of comfort, convenience, familiarity and safety the social matrix provides.  We are unwilling to be authentic, accountable and real enough to identify ourselves as the advocates of our personal enslavement. 

“Humanity is egocentricity.”

Forums of Egocentricity

Humanity’s greatest deficiency is its egocentricity.  Self-righteousness is an artificial power, which supplies deceptive, dysfunctional and solitary gratifications.  When one person yearns to be right, their expectation is that everyone else is wrong.  Their entitlement imposes a mandate of agreement with their narrative(s), or else they condemn their opposition to incompetence, ignorance and inanity.  Modern society is built upon a fractured foundation of self-righteousness.  There are unlimited forums of egocentricity; baiting conflict, division and fear to weaponize debate and provoke anarchy, brutality, polarity, supremacy and vanity.

The Looking Glass

All who are deceived by social reality dismiss universality as a fantasy.  The extreme conditioning of institutional indoctrination has established this paradigm, segregating us from our relativity with the universe.  It is our greatest crime against humanity.  No matter what social influence we encounter, we are the criminals in our severance with our soul.  Our egocentricity distorts and diminishes our universality, concealing the atrocities we commit against ourselves. It coerces us into our reactivity to defend our belief, delusion, duplicity, fear, insecurity and uncertainty.  We engage in virtuality to attain social authority, credibility and validity.

Natural Progression

Within each conscious and present moment, our vision, transcendence and transformation is our empowerment, sourced by the equilibrium between our soul, intuition, heart, mind and body.  From birth to death, our metamorphosis is the unique, energetic signature of our universality.  Our natural progression of being is to embody our soul.  Yet, our egocentricity disrupts our balance to deceive, enslave and manipulate us into engaging and investing in a holographic simulation we perceive as reality.  No matter what obstacle, setback or trauma we may encounter, the synthesis of our being is the foundation upon which we evolve.  

The Art of Embodiment

Universality is sourced by our soul.  When we establish balance in our being, we transcend existence in social reality and shift into universal experience.  As we align our awareness with the universe, our soul empowers us into our unique flow.  However, it is beyond calming our body, silencing our mind and expressing our heart.  It is listening to our intuition, being empowered by our soul and synergizing with universality.  Embodying our soul in this simulation yields failure more often than fulfillment.  Holding the space for our awareness is virtually impossible.  Yet, the art of soul embodiment is universal being.

All Good Things in All Good Time

One day after a ceremony, a friend of mine asked me what I experienced.  I responded, “I will let you know when the moment happens.”  Our experiences are as omnidimensional as we are.  Clarity, insight, purpose, transformation and understanding do not occur in linear time; they transpire in universal synchrony.  Often, it takes days, weeks, months or years for our visions to become realized.  When they progress in the present moment, experiential awareness is essential.  Their fulfillment is empowered by our alignment with universal flow, sourcing our evolution in the embodiment of our soul. 

A New Era

When we desire to be right in the world, we are wrong with the universe.  Proselytizing our self-righteousness upon others is a projection of our fear, insecurity, oblivion, vanity and uncertainty.  We weaponize the mimicry of our selective ideologies, narratives and propaganda to justify our egocentricity, thus concealing our universal deficiency.  Most of what transpires in sociality is a distortion, diversion and exorcism of our soul’s expression. Social reality is a simulation, programming us to secure our individual gratification instead of empowering our universal fulfillment.  In this new era, our relativity with universality is all that is true.      

“Transcendence is the threshold of universality.”

The Path Least Travelled

“Enlightenment is egocentricity.”

A Matter of Experience

I just returned from an annual, community event in the wilderness of northern Michigan.  After 21 years of extraordinary encounters, I have established an ability to step outside of the everyday ordinary, be present and relate with many things beyond this world.  What I experience in those days is so profound, it takes weeks, months or years to understand, let alone embody.  There are no reference points for what it is; no books can be read or classes taken, no YouTube videos to watch, no seminars to explain or services to attend.  Over the years, I have observed the community have a vast spectrum of encounters.  Some fulfill their experience, while others return to who they were before it all began.

A History of Mystery

In the previous article, I shared about my personal exodus from inebriation and my continued confrontations with darkness.  When I shifted the lifestyle that would certainly have ended in my early death, I emerged full force into being.  This is distinct from a practice of religion or spirituality. I chose my own path, often without peripheral guidance.  For 28 of my 53 years, I have lived a diverse existence from what is best identified as social reality.  While most engage and invest in its simulation to gratify their individual desires for survival, I thrived being outside of its virtuality in my unique progression of personal evolution.

Exponential Beginnings

In the Spring of 1996, many things shifted in my personal experience.  The musical group I performed with ended, as did my party lifestyle.  I began writing poems, short stories and a different kind of music, spending as much time in the woods as possible.  Soon after, I met a group of people who would gather at the coffeehouse where I worked.  One of the people introduced me to the Fourth Way School, which was deeply in rhythm with my experience at that time.  Meditation became a daily practice, empowering me to distinguish myself from the simulation.  Over the years, I discovered my Celtic lineage and explored a diversity of spiritualities.

Ceremonial Invitation

When I was 30, my sister Bronwyn invited me to a ceremony she was hosting at her house.  It resonated with me on more levels than I could imagine.  To this day, I am still in a progression of understanding.  After 23 years, it is evident to me that every practice I had observed was guiding me to the tradition I will walk until I pass from this earth, and beyond.  Every ceremony is an invitation to experience and relate with prayer.  Yet, it is not something to acquiesce my personal power in pursuit of my desires.  It is an intentionality of universal relativity with which I commit my prayer as an expression of holding a space for all.  

“Egocentricity is at the root of spirituality.”

Victim of the Crime

When we experience an awakening, it is an overwhelming convergence of being, a surge of universal energy akin to a downed, power line.  In our revelation, we do not have the acuity, capacity, relativity or resonance to contain, develop or fulfill our natural progression.  Essentially, we energetically short circuit, which leaves us depleted, disempowered and empty. I was 25 when my awakening began.  In that seminal era of my experience, it was not long before my ego began to distort, manipulate and transmute my universal metamorphosis into a toxic existence of arrogance, entitlement, self-righteousness and superiority. 

The Egocentricity of Spirituality

During my awakening, my spirituality expanded, as did my egocentricity.  Without an awareness of its tandem progression, I became addicted to and dependent upon the virtual bliss of spiritual fantasy; obsessed with intellectual proselytizing and instinctual sensuality.  I eventually drifted from my center of being, enamored with peripheral existence.  I neglected my soul in an aimless quest to gratify my vanity, succumbing to control, delusion and manipulation to conceal and defend my personal dysfunction, fear and insecurity.  My oblivion grew with every superficial epiphany. By the time I believed I was “spiritual,” my ego had already claimed victory over my experience.

A Shift in Understanding

When I began to walk a traditional path 23 years ago, I observed the influences, impacts and impositions of my oblivion to my egocentricity.  I realized that knowing pales in comparison to understanding.  When we claim to know, it is a declaration of our mind (ego.)  However, when we understand, it is an immersive experience of transcendence, which manifests in our actions, thoughts, feelings and intuition (soul.)  Personally, I have no interest in knowing anything, as this is often the indoctrinated projection of propagandized information.  Understanding is an omnidimensional experience of universal empowerment, which emboldens us to embody our soul.

In Solitude

Years ago, I came to the realization that popular philosophy, religion and spirituality is all trivial.  In this New Era, the only thing that truly matters is our relativity with our soul.  Our relationship with our spirit is the embodiment and expression of the universe.  Only we can empower our unique path to universality.  For me, it has been a lonely journey.  Yet the most fulfilled experiences are those walked in solitude, free from assimilation, exaltation, indoctrination, manipulation and transmutation.  In the most challenging moments of my experiences, my soul held a space for me to endure, evolve and thrive.

Holding the Space

My role in ceremony is holding a space for the community to have an experience.  Often, I am not aware of the personal encounters people have, as it is not my place to fulfill their purpose.  This is empowered by their commitment to understand and embody their vision.  Spiritual leadership has been contaminated with egocentric toxicity, transmuted into cultic dictatorship.  Contemporary gurus are opportunists of the New Age, preying upon their followers for control, influence, notoriety, profit and power.  While they deceive their devotees with their interpretation of spirituality, true leaders simply empower people to embody their soul.

The Path Least Travelled

With any traditional practice, it is worthless until we frequently express it in our daily lives.  There will always be a maelstrom of social amusements, conflicts, ideologies, indoctrinations, media, narratives, propaganda and other triviality to seize our awareness. When we are not present, we are not conscious.  When we are unbalanced, we are uncentered.  In the dissonance of sociality, we cannot flow with the resonance of universality.  We are severed from our soul; therefore, we cannot be.  28 years ago, I chose a path least travelled.  It was the journey I was destined to experience.  I do not profess to know anyone else’s path to personal fulfillment.  However, I understand our collective purpose is empowering each other to experience our own.

“Our soul relativity is universality.”

Universal Ancestry

“Lineage is not inherited in our blood; it is empowered by our soul.”

Kaleidoscope of Virtuality

In this new era, the conceptual, ideological and perceptual filters of collusion, illusion, judgement, narrative and prejudice are the social gravities we inherently and unconsciously bear.  It is evident in the viral toxicity within and around us.  Institutional, personal and social indoctrination, propagandized and weaponized in education, entertainment, media, politics, religion and science, distort, manipulate, program and transmute our sensibilities.  We selectively observe and engage with people from our interpretive delusion; instead of experiencing their reality, let alone understanding our truth.  Human existence is a kaleidoscope of virtuality.

Hereditary Stigmata

Our primary social conditioning is to imitate an ignorant, isolative and insular lifestyle.  Perhaps we first adopted this from our family when we were too immature to comprehend their antiquated guidance as a crime against our personal experience.  From infancy to adolescence, we are brainwashed by our parents, teachers, peers, religious leaders and other authority figures.  We invent our personality to interact with the simulation of social reality.  By the time we enter adulthood, we abandon our being for an illusion of existence, deceiving ourselves with feigned contentment, meaning and purpose; oblivious to the sacrilege we have committed against our soul.

Viral Egocentricity

After we have been excessively and intensively indoctrinated and integrated for the initial two decades of our lives, our adolescent personality gravitates toward the primal instincts of our reptilian brain.  Our neural activity is driven by anxiety, ego, fear, guilt and survival.  In essence, the carnal region of our mind encoded to feed, fight, flee and fuck.  This is the domain in which most of humanity is enslaved by its own unconscious instincts.  We compensate our emotional, intuitive and spiritual deficiencies with our egocentricity, entitlement, superiority and self-righteousness.  Intellectualism is a virus of reason, assimilating us into an existential vortex.

Social Vortices

The paradox of human existence is that we are always evading ourselves yet enslaved within.  When our personal awareness is fixated on our environmental circumstances, we surrender our senses to the peripheral in our vain quest for gratification.  We are conditioned into dependency long before we observe and identify its dysfunctionality.  Cynicism, fear, insecurity and uncertainty compels us to construct our self-defense, condemning us to our primitive mind.  We are caught in the crosshairs of our ego and society, stigmatized into a constant stasis of obsessive compulsion.  The simulation of social reality is a black hole, consuming our consciousness, energy and soul.

“Our bloodline is the trademark of our oblivion.”

Familial Dependence

As infants, toddlers, children and teens, we are reliant upon our parents.  During adolescence, we enter a process of individuation on our personal journey into adulthood. For many, this essential progression is seldom fulfilled.  Whether it is emotional, intellectual and/or instinctual, the tethers to which we cling as offspring are never entirely severed.  Memories, nostalgia and trauma preserve our unhealthy attachments for most of our lives.  Our relativity with our family becomes our dependency, enabling us to evade our evolution with hereditary liability and obligation.  We surrender our personal power to appease the historical sensitivities of our relatives.

Antiquated Environment

Family dynamics often transition us into a regressive environment of the past.  When in their presence, we abandon who we are for an archaic character we once portrayed at a specific age in our lives.  The roots of our identity emerge from a forgiven, forgotten and forsaken era.  Our family relates with this dated facet of our personality, perceiving us as we were, not as who we have become.  They may not know who we are, let alone understand us.  This obsolescence of relativity compromises the authenticity, integrity and expression of our contemporary being.  When we return to our daily routine, we often encounter traumatic side effects from our familial exposure.

The Vicious Cycle of Virtual Existence

Being born and dying are solitary, yet unique passages.  Even our experience in the womb is distinct from all others.  Our transition from soul to body is nine months of creation, evolution and transformation.  It is also when we endure our schism from the universe, one from which many never reunite until their physical death.  Our reactivity to peripheral circumstance, happenstance and incidence expands the divide between ourselves and our soul.  Our personality is an avatar we portray in a futile attempt to establish our credibility within this transhuman virtuality.  The vicious cycle of our virtual existence is the simulation of our enslavement.

The Art of Transcendence

Regardless of what is occurring in the world to distort, exploit, manipulate and transmute our universal vision into intellectual delusion, we are a universal being, experiencing infinite potentiality beyond our programmed existence.  Since the Winter Solstice in 2012, we have been energetically shifting in an exponential progression of relativity with our soul.  Whether or not we are aware of this monumental eventuality, it is happening! The synthesis of our evolving being is established with the equilibrium between our soul, intuition, heart, mind and body.  The art of transcendence is our exodus from social reality, and our embodiment of universality.    

The Universality of Relativity

We are rarely content in our relations with our bloodline lineage.  Dependency, entitlement, expectation, familiarity, history and obligation inhibits our kinship with our family well before our assimilation into cultural, political, religious and social ideologies.  Yet, the initial and influential element in this fragile dynamic is our schism with our soul.  Our interpretation of relatedness is socially peripheral.  However, it is not the knowledge of our self that empowers our relations, it is the embodiment of our soul.  The balance between our soul, intuition, heart, mind and body is essential in expressing and experiencing universality in our relativity.

Universal Ancestry

We are eternal, evolutionary, infinite and transformational beings of energy.  Our human lineage has diminished our universality into primeval instincts, egocentric intellectualism and reactionary emotionality.  Our heredity may define the history of our bloodline, yet it is not the ancestry of our soul.  We may identify our immediate family as the sole genealogy we inherit, enabling an antiquated codependency of obligatory belonging in a simulation of familial virtuality.  Omnipresent affinity is empowered by our soul.  When we relate and resonate with the omnidimensional tapestry of universality, this synergy of relativity is the source of our universal ancestry.

“We are all related in our legacy of being.”

Rare Earth

“Nature is the closest we are to the universe.”

In the Roots

The scientific community is just beginning to understand our evolutionary and transformational relativity with the natural world.  In the last decade, they have discovered, hypothesized and established that trees communicate with each other through their root systems.  Therefore, any herb, flower, plant and weed fulfills the identical synergy.  It can be observed that the relatedness in nature is more advanced than our own.  It can also be proven that the efficacy, longevity and resiliency of nature supersedes that of humanity.  Simply being in it is a transcendental shift of relativity with our soul.

The Forest for the Trees

In previous articles, I have written about the schism between our soul and our human self.  Given this occurs before we cultivate our personal consciousness, most of us remain oblivious to the universal consequences of existing as a fragmented being.  In this ambiguity of ourselves, we fail to observe, experience, evolve, transform and transcend. The personality with which we have conditioned ourselves to identify is in extreme contrast to the universality of our soul.  We adopt an inherent fear of nature, living as estranged from it as possible.  In essence, we cannot see the forest for the trees, as we are senselessly engaged in the trivialities of our personal and social realities.

Existential Mirage

We have been assimilated and indoctrinated into egocentricity.  Through our impulsive, irrational and intensive expressions of reactivity, we sacrifice our relativity with nature. Our engagement in virtuality ensnares us into an elaborate deception of triviality, distorting and diminishing our attention, awareness, focus and purpose.  Our instincts are overwhelmed with propagandized narratives and perceptions.  Our intellect is hacked, encoded and manipulated into our individual and collective psychoses.  Civilization has never been about creative, educational, philosophical, religious or scientific revelation.  It is the authoritarian enforcement and execution of our terrestrial colonization.

Stigma of Colonization

Since before recorded history, our enslavement has been disguised as civilization in the wake of critical mass colonization.  It is the proverbial wool that has been pulled over our delicate sensibilities.  Social reality is a matrix of deception. A spell of illusion, which we in turn establish as our personal delusion.  We con ourselves into believing that the theoretical parameters of popular existence is the absolute truth.  We even defend, endorse and impose our colonization upon others to validate our authority, credibility, safety, security, and vanity.  We commit these social atrocities upon ourselves and others, simply to conceal and evade our failure to embody universality.          

“Our affinity with nature is our relativity with our soul.”

The Mystery of Nature

In nature, every element of life is connected in an exquisite synthesis of evolution, which cultivates the equilibrium of terrestrial being.  Its existence fulfills our every need, from the air we breathe, water we drink, food we eat and the empowerment it bestows upon us to transform our experience.  Environmental immersion calms the body, clears the mind, balances the heart, inspires the intuition and encourages us to relate with our soul.  The elemental mystery of nature is its essence, which nurtures universal life within the human paradigm of destruction, disease, dysfunction and death.

Medicinal Minerals

Affliction, disorder, infection, malaise and even death occur when we have a deficiency of essential minerals.  The duplicity of our virtual lifestyles engenders the declination of our health, becoming our human nature. In addition, the widespread application of artificial chemicals, dyes, preservatives and toxins in our air, food, water and environment contaminates our instincts, thoughts and emotions.  This distorts and disrupts our relativity with our intuition and soul.  The earth’s medicinal minerals transform our heart, mind and body, empowering the optimal equilibrium for our wellbeing to thrive. 

Northern Exposure

For most of my life, I have lived in a rural environment. In my exposure to nature, I observed, experienced, listened and learned to relate with its naturality.  All the energy, scents, sounds and visuals inspired me to transcend the threshold of my conditioned personality, discovering, exploring and expressing my heart, intuition and soul.  I do not profess to know what it is, how it functions or why it exists.  In my experience, I have grown to understand that it is the closest we are to our soul and the universe.  When we enter the forest, we shift from simulated virtuality into infinite universality.

Terrestrial Flow

The earth is evolving on an energetic frequency beyond our conception, knowledge and understanding.  Nature itself is empowered by the sun, nurtured by the rain and cultivated by its soil.  The earth’s inner core is solid, while its outer core is liquid.  The momentum of the outer core generates a geodynamic field.  When we relate with nature, we resonate with the earth’s energy.  Our relativity with it is our terrestrial flow.  Its electromagnetism is symbiotic with the water in our bodies, the neural activity in our minds, the resonance of our heart center, the frequency of our intuition and the signature of our soul.

Elemental Essence

Artificiality distorts and diminishes our perception, thus our experience with nature.  When our attention, energy and focus is engaged in the virtuality of reality, we inhibit ourselves from fulfilling our relativity with the earth.  We settle into the simulation of our socially conditioned personality, enslaved by the primality of an egocentric existence.  Naturality is a distinct dimensionality of experience, empowering us to transform and synthesize with the elemental essence of nature.  When we ground with the earth, we are not simply connecting, we are embodying our relativity with our soul and the universe.     

Rare Earth

Human beings are conductors of elemental energy.  Our soul sources our being with universality; through our intuition, into our heart center, mind and body.  Likewise, the earth empowers us with its geodynamic momentum.  Our relativity with the earth is a synthesis of our naturality, spirituality and universality.  When we establish our personal equilibrium, we align, center and ground our being. We are an expression of the universe, our soul and the earth.  The omnidimensional synergy of our naturality, spirituality and universality is the essential convergence empowering our transcendence.

“Being in nature is a reunion with our soul.”     

The Rhythm of Resonance

“Dissonance is the essence of our existence.”

Artificial Identity

We are programmed to identify and interpret ourselves as a human being.  Our social conditioning is our personal compass for our sense of belonging, purpose, relevance and worth.  As we mature, we drift from who we truly are as a universal being and assimilate ourselves into a social simulation.  Our daily behaviors, lifestyles and routines cast us into a virtual existence.  Decades of institutional conversion, indoctrination and integration segregates and severs us from our self, as well as our soul.  There are numerous, extraordinary expressions of humanity, yet there are equal or more incarnations of brutality.  

Vicious Cycles

Our lives are defined by familiarity.  Most everything we encounter is known.  On the rare occasion we discover something new, our experiential fulfillment is diminished due to our lack of attention, focus, imagination and understanding.  Many of our novel encounters are accidental, aimless, incomplete and superficial.  Our habitual existence is a vicious cycle of desire, obligation and routine.  Much as a computer program, we are defined by patterns of behavior, which provide simulated outcomes lacking authentic achievement, contentment and purpose.  Eventually, we return to the solace of our vicious cycles for constancy in a virtual society. 

History of Chaos

There has always been an undercurrent of chaos throughout the history of humanity.  Most call it life, some perceive it as its mystery, while others identify it as the human enigma.  Institutionalized and propagandized anarchy is viral in the organized existential and perceptual programming that thrives in the domains of amusement, business, education, media, politics and science.  If we fail to see it in contemporary society, we are not paying attention.  However much we deceive ourselves with our own personal and social delusion, the clandestine, authoritarian agenda is all encompassing, malevolent and omnipresent in its totalitarianism.  

Torrential Toxicity

Our bodies are bombarded with artificial electromagnetic energy.  Our minds are conditioned with narratives steeped in controversy, indoctrination and prejudice.  Our hearts are driven beyond their capacities with our hostile and impulsive reactivity.  Our intuitions are distorted and diminished into nonexistence, causing a critical mass schism between our humanity and our soul.  Even our sensibilities have been stripped to the bone of their sensitivity.  A torrent of social toxicity has poisoned the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat.  Our instincts, intellect and emotions have all been corrupted, spiraling us into a vortex of oblivion.

“Oblivion is the gravity of our existence.”

Land of the Lost

It is not our intention to live in the delusion of oblivion, we simply fail to choose consciousness.  Our fleeting moments of enlightenment are dismissed for the gratification of our involuntary egocentricity.  In our desire to be comfortable, intelligent, right, secure and wealthy, we sacrifice our universal legacy to conform and engage in virtual triviality.  We are omnidimensional beings with all possibility and potential to express and relate with our soul and the universe.  Yet, we wager our universality for artificiality, satisfying our wants instead of fulfilling our needs.  Our social anxiety and vanity impels us to demean, devalue and ridicule all who challenge authority.

In the Crosshairs

We have all been deceived into believing we are the false personality of our institutionalization.  Eventually, we accept, integrate and personify the social avatar we have selected to portray in our pursuit to conform, diminish and enslave ourselves into the digital matrix of virtuality.  Our egocentricity endorses our cognitive dissonance, biased ideologies, subjective narratives and self-righteousness.  When we encounter a belief contrary to our own, we personalize and victimize ourselves with our own fear, insecurity, oblivion and uncertainty.  In our campaign to discredit, diminish and destroy our opposition, we abandon our universality. 

To Exist or To Experience

One of the essential distinctions of our contemporary age is between existence and experience.  To exist is to endure, whereas to experience is to evolve.  When we engage merely with instinct and intellect, we exist in a vacuum of linear duality, surviving within the paradigm of our personal simulation.  When we are related with our intuition and soul, centered in our heart, and conscious of our mind and body, we thrive in our experience and our being is fulfilled.  Social and personal institutionalization enslaves our mind and body into a virtual existence.  Universality empowers our heart and intuition to experience and embody our soul.

The Experience of Being

Every moment of our lives is an opportunity to be.  Yet, a plethora of amusements, distractions, obligations and preoccupations disrupt, distort and destroy the essential environment in which our being can thrive.  Universality flows in the equilibrium between our soul, intuition, heart, mind and body.  When we establish our unique balance within, this synergy empowers us to transcend the gravity of social reality and transform our existence into experience.  Being is the embodiment of universal synthesis, a resonance distinct from the density of terrestrial virtuality.  Only in our relativity with our soul will we experience the fulfillment of our being.

A Frequency of Energy

As we are deficient in our awareness, relation and understanding of our self and soul, we are also inefficient with the potentiality of our energy.  Our collective perception is often equated with how many daily tasks we can achieve, and in our fatigue when our reserves are depleted.  Given we apply a fraction of our mind, the same can be observed in our acuity with our energy.  We all radiate a distinctive frequency of universality, which resonates on the wavelength of our soul.  An eternal wellspring of vitality, which empowers our momentum to consciously fulfill our universal experience.  We are not human.  We are an infinite frequency of energy.   

The Rhythm of Resonance

When we are born, breath is our first, essential expression of life.  The transformative flow of our conscious breath restores our relativity with our soul.  The synergy between our soul and the universe, in concert with our intuition, heart, mind and body, empowers our expression and embodiment of universality.  As we synchronize the equilibrium of our being, the Torus in our heart center emanates the unique energy signature of our soul.  This transcendental shift synthesizes universality into every dimension of our being.  The rhythm of our universal resonance empowers the convergence of our being.    

 “Universality is the signature of our soul.”

Vision of Transcendence

“Narrative is a delusion of our perception.”

The Cult of Perception

Perception has mutated into narrative.  Truth cannot exist in the toxic environment of contemporary social reality.  When we are exposed to shocking world events, our astute and equitable observation is wagered for peripheral and personal propaganda.  The global spin factor is in full swing; distorting, inverting, manipulating and transmuting fact into fiction.  Combine this with the critical-mass, human hysteria of our emotional, intellectual and instinctual immaturity, and we have the current, socio-political shit storm.  In essence, our mass indoctrination into a hyper-reactive cult of perception.  A collective psychosis of interpretive duality, eagerly adopted and enacted by all who are victimized and traumatized by totalitarian-provoked egocentricity.   

Perception Deception

Calamity occurring in the world is real because we have invested our energy and personal power into its simulated entrapment, sealing the fate of our personal enslavement.  Humanity is malevolent, since we fail to manage our emotions, thoughts and actions.  Millions of people are inebriated with postulation, projecting their unconscious adolescence upon authority. Perhaps what is most needed for all of us is to be accountable, authentic and truthful.  If we want to blame someone for what is happening in the world, we should begin with ourselves.  What difference does it make to be in a constant state of anger, fear, frustration, insecurity, trauma, turmoil and uncertainty?  The perception deception is our delusion we enable within the illusion we interpret as reality.

The Nature of Egocentricity

It should be apparent to us what has caused our current circumstances.  We want to be right, and we are consumed with proving all who disagree with us wrong.  Congratulations! You are right! Does it really make a difference? Does it shift anything in our selective reality?  Will we wake up tomorrow to our idyllic world?  Will we be happy, fulfilled and peaceful?  Chances are, we will not.  We want to be right about how and why everything is fucked up.  The superficial power of our self-righteousness enslaves us into a vicious cycle of egocentricity.  We conceal and evade our failure to make a difference by wielding our repressed inadequacies, insecurities and uncertainties upon the world. We refuse to be accountable for the everyday atrocities we commit against humanity.

The Webs We Weave

Given the magnitude of individual, environmental and social toxicity, perception has been deluded. It is distorted, inverted, manipulated and transmuted into the dense energies of conflict, despair, fear, insecurity, hate and vanity.  The false narratives we invent about ourselves and others intensifies our confusion, collusion and delusion, devastating our lives in a wake of destruction.  As much as we impose our arrogance to proliferate, propagandize and project our malice and malaise upon others, we can also empower ourselves to transform and transcend.  Yet, the web of deception we weave is the evasion of our authenticity, destiny, integrity and relativity.  We invoke the artificial power of our egocentricity when we weaponize our personal agenda, propaganda and pain. 

“Vision sources the experience of transcendence.”

Divine Comedy

I have been publishing articles for over 15 years.  Translating universal empowerment, in unison with my soul, through my intuition and heart center and into my thoughts and instincts, necessitates all my being.  Observing, listening, experiencing and relating is essential in aspiring to embody universality.  Egocentricity has little to do with my literary endeavors.  The divine comedy is realizing that the words on the page are only a linguistic reflection of the revelations I encounter in my moments of experiential vision.  The energy between the lines supersedes its vernacular.  Perhaps I write within the vicious cycle of my own existential paradox; striving to articulate with words what can only be experienced in essence, expressed with silence and embodied in transcendence.

The Paradigm of a Simulation

Before our social programming distorts, manipulates and destroys our consciousness with the imposition of our voluntary institutionalization, we are expressions of the universe.  Yet, we adopt, adapt and acquiesce into a simulated virtuality.  Many of us pride ourselves on how brainwashed, deluded and enslaved we are in social reality.  Our deficiency with personal observation condemns us to a fixed perception of chronic fury and reactivity.  We emulate the beliefs, ideologies and viewpoints of indoctrinated “experts,” as we proclaim their dogma, opinion, propaganda and rhetoric as our truth.  Without awareness, equilibrium and understanding, we are a human program, a vortex of exploitation, existing in the paradigm of a simulation.

Perception of Existence

Perception is deception.  However challenging it is to distinguish ourselves from our fixed interpretations, it is as essential to free ourselves from our self-imposed sentence of social dependency.  In the oblivion of our egocentricity, we are not even present to what we think we are right about! When we observe this in ourselves, we realize our desire to be right is driven by the illusion we interpret as reality.  This is the quintessential triviality of humanity, enabling our preoccupation with popular irrelevance to conceal, deny and evade our personal deficiencies and insecurities.  We are estranged from ourselves because we are not in relativity with our soul.  Our perception of existence is based on selective lies we convince ourselves are true.

All We Are

Beyond our arrogance, entitlement, self-righteousness and vanity, our greatest exhibition of egocentricity is believing we know what is best for us.  Yet, how can we, when we are primarily alienated from our soul, intuition and heart?  It is our personal defense mechanism to insulate ourselves from our embellishment to perceptual threats, inhibiting our human experience.  We do not know what is best for us, only what is advantageous, comfortable, convenient, relative and safe.  Our existence is enslaved in the duality of intellect and instinct.  Maturity is a social rite of passage, severing our relativity with our heart, intuition and soul.  For many, universality is a futile triviality that fails to gratify our egocentricity.  Yet, as universal beings, it is all we are.

From Perception to Vision

How we perceive our existence is an interpretation of our thoughts and instincts.  Experiencing vision is the synchronicity of our soul, intuition, heart, mind and body.  Our current personal and social environment does not empower or endorse the equilibrium of our being; considering the accelerated and intensified toxicity present in contemporary society.  We eagerly dismiss the necessity for the experience of fulfillment, simply because it does not deliver the instant gratification our egocentricity demands.  Yet, observing, expressing and shifting our being empowers us to transform and transcend our perception, thus experiencing and embodying our vision.  Perception is to know, whereas vision is to understand.

Vision of Transcendence

Knowing is existing in the mind.  Understanding is experiencing the soul.  Many of us think we know everything, yet we understand nothing.  Egocentricity thrives in the institutionalized “knowledge” of business, education, media, politics, religion, science and technology.  These are the domains of our enslavement in virtuality.  We exist in a vicious cycle of toxicity, engaged in a simulation of egocentricity, in which we obliviously abide.  Universality is the transcendence of our being; sourced by our soul, guided by our intuition and empowered by our heart.  Freedom from egocentricity is discovered when we transform and transcend our delusion within the illusion of social reality.  Only then will we experience the vision of transcendence.

“Transcendence is the embodiment our soul.”

“Be with it all.”

Shifting With Universality

“Oblivion is a delusion of an illusion.”

Water is Life

Over sixty percent of our bodies contain water.  Our software comprises more, while our hardware less.  Beyond our necessity for hydrogen and oxygen, there is an essential functionality often overlooked and undervalued.  Water is a conductor. Not just of electricity, yet also energy.  Employing its own water table, our body rejuvenates and resonates with our soul and the universe.  When we run dry, our energy is diminished and our conductivity decreases, thus our relativity with our soul.  Our body becomes dense, and our equilibrium and flexibility are compromised.  Our consciousness eventually wanes to oblivion. 

Pathways of Light

There are hundreds of billions of neurons creating hundreds of trillions of neural pathways in our mind, communicating and processing an infinite amount of information.  Our neural activity is empowered by our soul.  It sources our brain to transpose universal energy into an applicable and functional expression.  The pineal gland receives and transmits universality.  As with the water in our bodies, neurons are conductors of electricity and energy.  It is not mere data streams being relayed through our brains.  It is the signature of our soul, resonating through our mind and body with the frequency of universality.

Torus of the Heart

Our heart center is an omnidimensional sphere, renewing and revolving universal energy empowered by our soul.  Its resonance emanates six feet and beyond our being.  At its core, our heart is a solar torus, evolving as a hypergiant star.  It is the center of our human being, emanating and transforming universality into relative energy.  The synergy of our soul and the universe empowers our emotionality, intelligence and instinct.  When we are aligned, centered and related with our heart torus, we resonate with our soul.  Being conscious and present to how, where and why we express universality is essential in our transcendence.   

The Seed of the Soul

Our soul sources us with universality.  It synergizes with our heart, mind and body, conducting its resonance through our intuition and into our energy centers. Omnidimensional frequencies flow in infinite currents, conveying our universal signature. Our soul inspires our creativity, expression, relativity and understanding, empowering our enlightened emotionality, conscious intelligence and proactive movement. Our universal synthesis is established by the enlightenment of our heart, mind and body, synchronizing our soul with our being to empower our transformation, transcendence and universality. 

“Evil abides in the vortex of oblivion.”

Live Evil

The antithesis of consciousness is oblivion.  Whatever the measure of its existence in our lives, our deficiency of awareness leads to our enmity.  As our light is empowered by our soul, our darkness is provoked by society.  While our soul emanates through our intuition and into our heart, mind and body, our evil thrives in the gravity of our density.  It corrupts our feelings, thoughts and actions with its viral iniquity.  Our positivity is empowered from within by our universality, whereas our negativity is implanted via our engagement in the environmental toxicity of social reality.  As we primarily live outside of ourselves, we are influenced, traumatized and victimized by societal immorality.

The Vanity of Humanity

The polarity of light and darkness is our delusion of an illusion, our indoctrination into ideological and perceptual duality.  In whatever dogma we subscribe, neither exists beyond the boundaries of our artificial comfortability, familiarity and security within our personal narrative.  It is simply a bedtime story, with which we deceive ourselves to evade the existential suffering we endure.  In essence, our egocentricity is exhibited in our control, defensiveness, fear, insecurity, psychosis and resistance, enabling our victimization.  We cling to our delusion, as we cannot acknowledge or accept the truth.  We sacrifice our relativity with our soul to engage in the vanity of social reality.

Weight of the World

When we exist in oblivion, we allow our social environment to alter, influence and manipulate our feelings, thoughts and actions.  Our indoctrination disrupts and distorts our intuition, thus our relativity with our soul and the universe.  We become peripheral beings, seeking authority, credibility and validity.  As we engage in social reality, our energy frequency descends into density, expanding the schism between our soul and our human self.  The weight of the world we bear estranges us from ourselves, others, our soul and the universe.  When faced with our mortality, we wield the fear we weaponize with our oblivion.

Human Stigmata

Egocentricity is the density of society.  We have collapsed our selfishness with our subscription for survival.  We resist acknowledging our egotism, as this would be a paradox of our existential reality.  We would rather die than claim and embody accountability.  Our personal delusion endorses and enables our truest evil.  We have no regard for anyone but ourselves, which is an exhibition of our oblivion with our soul.  We preserve our illusion of fulfillment with an excess of simulated achievements and eventualities.  We are social vortices, consuming toxicity as a supplement to gratify the emptiness in our being. 

Shifting with Universality

Being is our relativity with the universe.  The equilibrium of our intuition, heart, mind and body shifts us into an expression of our soul.  The omnidimensional energy of universality streams through our intuition as a helix of metamorphosis, empowering the torus of our heart center to inspire transcendental vision in our mind and evolutionary momentum in our body.  The universal flow is forever transforming. Balancing the dimensional elements of our being is our opportunity to resonate with our unique flow. Shifting with universality empowers our transcendence, reuniting us with our soul and the universe.

Evolution of Transcendence

Since the Winter Solstice in 2012, we have been in flow with a universal energetic shift humanity has yet to experience.  The last thirteen years have been our evolution of transcendence.  Not just to relate with our soul and the universe, yet also with ourselves and others.  The new era has nothing to do with business, media, politics, religion, science, technology or virtuality.  It is becoming a vessel for our soul to occupy our being and express universality, thus transforming artificiality. Shifting with universality is transforming ourselves from an emulation of social toxicity to embodying the universal resonance of our soul.

“Breathe.   Be.   Experience.   Transform.   Transcend.”

“We exist in a paradigm of singularity.”

Singularity Stigmata

When we are born, we transition from a universal soul of infinite energy into a human being.  Beyond the magic and mystery of childbirth, we overlook the devolution we endure to exist in the illusion of physicality.  Familial and social institutionalization enslaves us into habitual patterns of reason and routine.  By the time we reach adulthood, we have been indoctrinated into a future of singularity.  We are a man or a woman, conservative or liberal, atheist or religious, gay or straight, rich or poor, peaceful or violent, etc.  When we allow our ideologies, lifestyles and opinions to be compromised, we engage in the dichotomy of duality.

The Con of Duality

Social reality is a kaleidoscope of stimuli.  It provokes our engagement via our reactivity, while extracting our energy to who, what and where we conduct our attention.  Given the deficiency of consciousness in society, we are always conceding awareness to our daily circumstances, eventualities and environments.  Duality is the ritualistic paradigm in which we inevitably transpose our universality into artificiality.  We tether ourselves to a matrix of dense, energetic frequencies, which enables our fixed way of being.  The con is to capture our interest in common trivialities until we develop our social dependence.

Selective Reality

At the core of the delusion we invent to interact with the illusion of social reality is our instinctual compulsion for virtual security, intellectual filters of egocentricity and emotional immaturity; all of which represses our empathy.  Educational, existential, hereditary, informational and religious indoctrination conditions us to engage in an insular simulation we adopt and interpret as life.  Eventually, we drift into a stasis of individual oblivion, evading eventualities that conflict with our ideology.  In essence, we live in a selective reality.  When it is disturbed, we cling to our delusion to preserve our dependency.

A Wicked Web

Egocentricity is the social matrix to which we subscribe in our quest to strategize our existence through competition, manipulation, superiority and self-righteousness.  All the while failing to observe the golden rule of awareness; no two truths are the same.  When we react to social reality through a filter of singularity, we engage in the paradigm of duality.  Our lives are a parade of physical gratification and mental proselytization.  Routine is simulation, enslaving us into a wicked web of arrogant ignorance, defiant oblivion and entitled obsolescence, all in the name of vanity. Empowerment and fulfillment become inferior endeavors.

“We understand a fraction of what we know.”

The Rise of Personalization

Recently, I have observed an acceleration and intensity of cultural, political and social personalization, disturbing our existential reality.  Many are encountering cataclysmic breakdowns in their experiences with reason, relativity and understanding.  As our awareness is always leaving us, we are also abandoning ourselves.  When we are not aligned, centered and grounded within, we will eventually acquiesce our personal power without.  Our universality is sacrificed via our reactivity to our peripheral environments.  While internally, we personalize dramatic and traumatic events, victimizing ourselves with our engagement in social toxicity.

Zen of the Smart Rat

We are too smart for our own good.  Yet, intelligence ultimately leads to ignorance.  Knowing is mental calisthenics, while understanding is a universal experience.  Egocentricity is the common symptom of a smart rat.  We overconsume selective media in justification of our elective ideology, to collect informational ammunition in condemnation of our adversaries.  We exhibit our ignorance more often than our intelligence.  Society is rife with self-righteousness, spreading its cerebral virus with vicious voracity.  The most treacherous smart rats are those who refuse to acknowledge and transform their own egocentricity.  They are captives to the Zen of fiction.   

All That is Best

We believe we know what is best for our life, yet we are estranged from ourselves.  We make commitments based on the evaluation of our personal advantage, amusement, comfort, convenience, safety and time.  If it requires more than our selfishness dictates, we decline, convincing ourselves it is what is best for us.  Remarkable experiences are swiftly disregarded as meaningless, replaced with familiar engagements, filling our time instead of our soul.  We never know what is best for us until we understand that universality flows when we empower ourselves to escape our self-induced, egocentric existence.  

Essential Resonance

As the focus of our attention directs our energy, its nature is defined by the quality of our being, environment and expression.  Our soul and the universe symbiotically emanate an abundance of energy.  In its truest embodiment, it is a transcendent resonance, empowering and enlightening our being.  Our exposure to social reality degrades and diminishes our frequency into a quantifiable commodity, which is commercialized, propagandized and weaponized against us.  Our consciousness is the essential resonance of universality, establishing the empowerment to hold the space for our soul to occupy our being.  

Universal Equilibrium

During the energetic transition of our birth, our universality is condensed into physicality.  A schism occurs between our soul and our human self, one from which most never revive relativity.  As we “civilize” ourselves, social institutionalization enslaves us into a three-dimensional paradigm.  We interpret our existence through a filter of intelligence.  Our soul and the universe are one, conveying universality through our energy centers, into our heart, mind and body.  Establishing our equilibrium is our essential purpose for human being.  When we create and embody our balance, we are in flow with the universe.

The Frequency of the Flow

There are eternal currents of universal energy resonating within and around us in every dimension of our being.  These frequencies are exponentially shifting and transforming with the resonance of universality.  Our relativity with the universe expresses and embodies our soul in our every experience.  The energy density of social reality enforces an environmental toxicity to disrupt, distort and destroy our energetic frequency.  Our egocentricity enslaves us in its simulation.  Aligning, balancing, centering and emanating the resonance of universality empowers us to transform and transcend, reuniting us with the frequency of our soul.

“Universality is the frequency of the flow.”
