The Event Horizon

“Our soul expresses the energetic flow of empowerment.”

The Point of No Return

Whether or not we are conscious in this exciting new era, we have crossed the threshold of a universal, energetic shift humanity has yet to experience.  Through an excess of engineered, social events, we are being discouraged, diminished and manipulated.  Our natural progression of communal and personal evolution is being dismantled and destroyed.  Many may interpret my observation as conspiracy theory, initiated by their individual encounters with cognitive dissonance, and the narratives to which they subscribe.  Millions of people allow themselves to be deceived, disempowered and influenced away from the unique flow of their universal experience. 

Existential Inversion

The onus is not on those who have gravitated toward the oblivious bliss of ignorance, crafted from their circumstances, environments, misfortune and victimization.  It is upon all who have willingly conditioned and programmed themselves with a multitude of institutionalized education, mainstream media, politics, religion and science to defend their fear in the face of their truth.  We live in an age when disinformation is aggressively broadcast, while truth is violently discredited, ridiculed, suppressed and abandoned.  Identifying as “woke” in relation to being “awakened” is the distinction between those armed with ego and all expressing their soul. 

Social Pulse

Social existence is the greatest distraction to human experience.  In society, we do not have genuine belonging, only superficial relativity.  This is defined by whether we are proactive (positive) or reactive (negative.)  We are brainwashed to emulate effect with our engagement, rarely empowering ourselves to create cause.  We make it easy for authoritarian entities and organizations to proliferate instinctual fear, intellectual division, emotional trauma and spiritual deficiency.  We delude ourselves into believing educators, entertainers, the media, politicians and religious leaders have interest in our wellbeing.  They care only as much as they profit. 

The Cult of Society

Every organization in society is a cult, seizing our personal power, as they enslave us in social reality.  Cult, by definition: a relatively small group of people having beliefs or practices, especially relating to religion, regarded by others as strange or sinister or as imposing excessive control over members.  Sound familiar? If we are “real” about it, we will observe our inherent worship of the business, entertainment, financial, governmental, political, religious and sporting domains.  Inevitably, we invest.  We are motivated by the fear of failing to conform.  We buy in with our life, conditioning our mind, suppressing our heart and sacrificing our relativity with our soul. 

“Universality is our destined path empowered by our soul.”

An Investment in Enslavement

Our social conditioning programs us into a constant state of expectancy.  It is not just that social reality is a simulation, imposed to sculpt us into victims.  We are spectators of its virtuality and consumers of our own enslavement. (Be with this.)  The daily encounters of artificial existence overwhelm us with sensory hyperstimulation.  We acquiesce the energy with which the universe empowers us, enabling our enslavement with our institutionalized programming and obedient engagement.  Our dependence assimilates us into virtual existence, transmuting our universal being into an energetic vortex.  We extract our soul by distorting our intuition, repressing our heart, programming our mind, toxifying our body and embracing the prison of social reality.

Destined Calling

Before social conditioning and programming imposes its artificial impression, each of us has a universal purpose.  All of us become present to our calling, most often during adolescence.  Society misinterprets this revolutionary experience as “rebellion,” negating and oppressing our personal power before we can become its expression.  All who choose to pursue their destined path are labeled fanatics, ever confronted by the simulated orthodoxy of an engineered society.  Yet, the universe provides an abundance of energy in the form of empowerment, clarifying our vision, inspiring our creation and encouraging our expression.

Transcendental Shift

For the last decade, we have been and are in the flow of an extraordinary, universal energetic shift.  Many of us may not observe let alone experience it because it does not exist in the virtuality of common society.  We all have the potential to create our personal, transcendental shift.  Our soul enlivens us to transform our enslavement from social reality by freeing ourselves from its linear duality and becoming an expression of universality.  The universe is an energetic field of infinite opportunity and possibility.  It is our soul’s relativity with our intuition and heart which empowers us to express it into our experience.

Universal Momentum

We are all in the universal flow of the shift, regardless of our awareness.  The energy of universality is a multidimensional force of being, consciousness, creativity, empowerment, expression, fulfillment, illumination, inspiration and transformation.  Our universal opportunity is to embrace and synergize with the eternal currents of its energetic flow.  The body and mind are merely filters of our daily encounters.  Our heart and intuition are the gateways to our universal experience.  We are not humans defined by the effects of our environment.  We are souls omni dimensionally expressing our universal cause within a virtual matrix of social existence.   

The Event Horizon

An event horizon is a boundary beyond which events cannot affect an outside observer.  The point at which the gravitational force becomes so great, escape is impossible.  Believe it or not, this is where we are, our point of no return.  We stand upon the threshold of transcending the simulation of social reality to embody our universal experience with being.  We can either remain in our ego, the illusion of ourselves.  Or we can transcend the veil and be an expression of our soul.  Becoming one with and expressing the universe’s empowerment is our greatest opportunity for all lifetimes.  Flowing with the energetic shift is the event horizon of our universality.   

“Discovery is releasing all we know to experience all we are.”

Ghosting the Soul: The Virtuality of Life

“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.”

Source and the Mediacracy

“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 Artificiality of Social Reality

“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.”

The Mirror Tells All

“We cannot truly empathize with tragedy until it befalls us.”

Lessons Unlearned

What do we do as a society when programmed conspiracy, disinformation, manipulation and trauma infects social reality to the gravest degree?  How do we cope, heal, identify and transform ourselves amid the melee of competition, destruction, disease, fear, loss, murder, pain, suffering and violence?  Why do we continue to emulate the definition of social insanity at the cost of our lives and those of our children?  Where do we go from the helplessness and hopelessness surrounding and corrupting every element of our experience?  Who is to be held accountable for our crimes against humanity?  We are!   

Political Idiodyssey

Politics are the most worthless form of leadership ever concocted.  It is a clever, vicious cycle, ensnaring all with egotistical expressions of instinctual and intellectual ignorance.  I continue to be appalled by anyone claiming exclusivity to either the conservative or liberal parties.  It does not require keen observation to understand none of these officials care about, stand for or serve the people who elect them.  An elite, wealthy few employ financial institutions, who lend to corporations, who in turn sponsor and lobby candidates to push their (c)overt agendas.  Our awareness of this system certainly does not empower or inspire us enough to transform it.

Social Vicious Cycle

Whenever a traumatic event passes an impression on us, we tend to shift into a cycle of inauthentic empathy.  We send our thoughts and prayers, express our views, engage in social media debates, our elected officials do nothing, we eventually forget, and society moves on to the next tragedy until it happens again.  This is just one of the many vicious cycles we enact as human doings.  We are desensitized by the violence that encompasses us and blind to our individual brutality.  Yet the cycle continues.  Much like our elected officials, we do not care about, stand for or serve our fellow human.

Deep Impact

The last few years have severely traumatized us on levels we are incapable of comprehending.  We are shaken to the core from a worldwide pandemic, the political and social pressure of its vaccination, a contentious election, the impact of a murdered American citizen by a police officer and a continual string of mass killings committed by teenagers.  Within our apathetically biased interpretations of what is happening resides the true reason why.  As a society, we are egotistical, self-centered and self-righteous.  We lack the empathy, intention and understanding to transform our anger and fear into compassion and love.

“Within every downfall is an opportunity for ascension.”

The Gravity of Ego

Through the course of human history, infinite opportunities have been and are available for us to shift how social reality exists for all.  These events, however inspirational, ordinary or tragic, occur to empower us to transform our instincts, intellect, emotions and behaviors.  When we front age, belief, ideology, ignorance, indifference or loss, we convey justifiable excuses for our evasion, vengeance or violence.  The choices we make impact and influence others as much as ourselves.  There is one element of our personality that renders us apathetic, arrogant, vindictive and self-righteous.  It does not matter how aware we are to its influence; our ego enslaves us.   

Self-Sentence

Society functions on the tradition of inclusion of the immediate family, and exclusion of the rest of the world, in a vain attempt to construct artificial defenses, narratives, protection and security.  We build barriers of separation emotionally, intellectually, instinctually and spatially to support our simulated sense of safety.  The evident observation we deny or refuse to acknowledge is our desire to establish our personal illusion.  We imprison ourselves with individual internment and expect the rest of the world will follow suit.  When society does not comply with our private delusion, we encounter breakdowns resulting in emotional, mental and physical suffering.       

Social Psychoses

We are artificial beings, existing in an artificial reality, living artificial lives and even dying artificial deaths.  Our belief, ideology, information, motivation and relativity are all artificial.  From the cradle to the grave, we slip into the chaos of social reality’s undercurrent, frantically grasping for anything to release us from the energetic muck of linear duality.  When our opportunities arise and empower us to transcend, we decline, dismiss and demean all that is diverse from our behavioral, hereditary, institutional, personal and social programming.  In essence, we cause our own conflict and suffering with our conditioned engagement and reactivity. 

What Will It Take?

Our family members and friends are both figuratively and literally dying at the hands of our self-subscribed, social oblivion, and the inevitable violence it provokes.  Desensitization is the lightning rod of our synthetic sanity, tearing society apart with every tragic event and fracturing the foundation of our existence.  It is not that we feel, think and act too deeply when tragedy occurs in social reality.  The true atrocity is our willingness to be apathetic and preoccupied, evading present trauma and ensuring its eventual future. Prevention requires our authenticity, empathy, focus, integrity, intention, purpose and transformation.  

The Mirror Tells All

Imagine being in a sphere.  The entire interior is a mirror.  In every direction you gaze, your image is cast.  Yet, it is not your physical reflection you behold, it is your actions, thoughts and feelings to which you become present.  As you encounter your multidimensionality, you are aware of your instincts, intellect, emotions, intuition and soul.  You are introduced to your consciousness, creativity, empathy, insight, understanding and truth.  In this space, you experience the flow of universal being, conscience, expression and relativity.  The existence of social reality vanishes. You become one with the universe.    

“Our soul purpose is being universality.”

Inside Out

“Self-righteousness is the epitome of being wrong.”

Against the Current

Over the last few years, we have been inundated with personal opinions and mainstream media agendas, narratives, politics, virus strains and vaccinations.  Yet, we have also been in a universal energetic shift providing us an extraordinary opportunity to align, connect, relate and become one with all.  For some, this was a clear choice.  For many, it was a defining moment on how tethered to social reality, and distant people are with themselves.  The autocratic strategy worked once again.  We turned against each other; our ego our sword and our self-righteousness our shield.  How clever we are to destroy far more often than we create in our quest for status and validity.  Nothing represents our power more than arrogance.

Social Crucible

Conceit and deceit are the most toxic elements in contemporary society.  We all have duplicity. Those who don’t believe they do have more than most! Events of the last couple years have transpired for the purpose of revealing our concealed deficiencies we all disguise from ourselves and others.  We either defend our personal issues or release them and become fulfilled.  Recently, I have witnessed family and friends blame, guilt and shame each other to satiate their fears, insecurities and uncertainties regarding the current climate of social reality.  Lifetime relations willingly sacrificed in defense of their biased criticism, judgement, opinion and self-righteousness.  All to protect their inadequacies, from which we all yearn to be free.

Throwing Shade

The last two years have not been a time to merely survive, they have been an era to thrive. While we attempted to bring normality to the authoritarian agendas of control, deception, enslavement and manipulation, our greatest fears embedded their influence deeper into our frazzled nerves. No matter how we analyze, believe, interpret or think about the events we have all endured, our understanding of them is often misinterpreted.  We feed our senses with biased, agenda-laden information, customized to our desired narrative to debate, demean, discredit and prove our adversaries erroneous.  This is the societal psychosis we have enabled with our apathy, denial, negligence, oblivion and self-righteousness.  

Being Right

Before our acumen is developed, we are conditioned to be right at all costs.  This is the social standard.  We close the avenues of our listening when we stake the lines of our hypocrisy.  This applies to others, yet most importantly in our relation to ourselves and the universe.  We are blinded by our addiction to the rush of synthetic gratification we receive when we impose our sanctimonies, be they internal or expressed.  They are the idioms of our inauthenticity; in other words, “false power.”  Society prospers on the adrenaline of superficiality.  Those who express empowerment and inspiration are often chastised, exiled and, in extreme circumstances, murdered.  Our personal and collective evolution is wagered for our egocentric quest to be right.       

“Institutional intelligence is programmed ignorance.”

The Greatest Swindle Ever Sold

Six global corporations own the world’s media sources.  It is apparent these outlets broadcast programmed information, thus inventing and promoting narratives to manipulate society’s existence, experience and perception.  The mainstream media proliferates corporate, economic, political and social propaganda to execute and maintain its agendas for control, power and profit.  To awakened individuals, the endgame is evident.  Unfortunately, most of humanity invests in the engineered narratives because we are unable and/or unwilling to accept the truth.  The network information we analyze, believe, interpret or think is manufactured delusion.  Humanity craves to be right and refuses to admit when they are swindled.  How true has this been over the last few years?  

One Ego to Rule Them All

Our egos are neurological satellites, constantly receiving and projecting signals within us and ultimately influencing society.  We are mired in the duality of our programmed instinct and intellect; therefore, reality exists and is enabled by our collective oblivion.  The global authoritarian banks, corporations, governments and other elite organizations are aware of this.  They use fear to its fullest efficacy to maintain control, power and wealth over the majority of the world’s population.  Their imposed systems of rule amuse, confuse, disempower and enslave society into an elaborate web of deception.  Our ego keeps us captive, engaged and tethered to a social simulation we identify, interpret and accept as reality.

The Naked Truth

We are not who we believe ourselves to be.  We drift in the darkness of self-subscribed obscurity, terrified to discover, express and live our truth against the scrutiny of a cruel and violent society.  Eventually, we all acquiesce to the collective fate of inauthentic belonging, reality and social obligation.  Adulthood is a superficial security we “mature” into rife with excuses, failures, inadequacies, oblivion, struggle and surrender.  No matter how much we attempt to make something out of the illusion of social reality, we are inevitably burdened with the gravity of our wasted opportunities to create, empower, inspire and transform.  The naked truth we all seek to evade is that we live to die, instead of dying to live.  

Seeing the Unseen

We are victims, servants of all we do not know that we do not know about ourselves.  This statement can be confusing to those unaware of fundamental ontology (the nature of being.)  All we know and do not know is often clear.  It is what we do not know about what we do not know where we lose our vision, focus, intention and power.  It controls us through our personal indoctrination.  Institutional education, economics, religion and society programs us to enable our cooperative enslavement.  Yet, our personal observation, consciousness, progression and purpose empowers our freedom.  These are the essential elements of our being, inspiring our awareness, evolution and transformation.         

Balance Beam

The last few years have revealed how essential it is to establish and maintain our personal equilibrium.  Existing in a social reality built and sustained by conflict, disease, duality, toxicity and war has compromised the core of our being.  It is not a surprise how many people do not know who they are, let alone envision, experience and fulfill their destiny.  We are multidimensional beings composed of instincts, intellect, emotions and insights.  Our existence is created by who we are being.  The balance of our body, mind, and heart with our intuition and soul is vital to manifesting the universal energetic shift into our experience.  Our attuned equilibrium is an expression of our resonance with the universe.

Inside Out

We have all experienced extreme anxiety, fear, loss and trauma.  Many of us are still nursing proverbial wounds that have never fully healed, current ones notwithstanding. Opportunities arise for us when we choose to lay down our fears, failures, histories, obligations, pain, self-righteousness and suffering to embrace everything available to us during this extraordinary era of being.  Once we have committed to release all which does not enlighten, inspire and transform us, we can begin to heal.  We are all fractured beings drifting upon the ocean of time, seeking an elusive fulfillment.  Society imposes it’s will, conditioning us to survive from the outside in.  Our universality empowers our soul to thrive from the inside out.                           

“Feel to heal, be to see.”

An Essential Choice

“We either bury our heads in the sand or choose to make our stand.”

As It Seems:

Society is an abomination.  What have we become?  Why have we allowed it to get to this level of delusion, depravity, destruction and death?  Why do we enable and embolden the industries of economics, medicine, politics and religion?  How can we wield our desire, entitlement, ego, intelligence and self-righteousness as weapons of social destruction to protect our fears, failures and insecurities?  Will we find the courage, intention, strength and willingness to defy our arrogance?  Will we choose to claim and express our unique power to transform the nightmare we have enabled with our lives?  Are these impossible questions to be debunked with our cognitive dissonance or opportunities to shift our experience?   

As It Is:

The impacts of events over the last 18 months have been devastating beyond our wildest fears.  Conflict, corruption, cruelty, disease, inequality, injustice, poverty, prejudice and war have become our nature.  We cannot observe how society is, turn and point the finger at our opponents, then claim victory on Social Media to make ourselves feel better about our own apathy, denial, indifference and judgement.  Our arrogance, entitlement and obscurity are obvious when we see how we helped cause and spread this madness.  Yet, we plod on with our egos, ire and opinions in tow, minute men and women for the timeless debate of wit, wile and wanton.  Are we willing to be accountable and shift our focus from oblivion to awareness?

Social Watermark:

Totalitarian organizations are enforcing modifications to the dynamics of our being, preventing us from being in flow with our heart, soul and the universe.  Over the last few decades, our social environment has become inundated with toxicity.  The effects of which are rarely acknowledged, yet often exhibited as disease, egotism, negativity and violence.  All of this, combined with the current conditions of disorder, inequity and prejudice, have rendered social reality uninhabitable.  Our bodies, minds and hearts are being distorted, manipulated and terrorized by the calculated, callous nuances of simulated society.  The sacred cord that connects us with the universe is being severed.  Social reality is segregating us from our soul.    

The Body:

The greatest side effect of the current pandemic is not physical illness or the fear of contraction.  It is not even the mainstream media assault we have all had to endure.  The deepest impact is on our adrenal glands and nervous systems.  Our social environment disrupts our natural balance.  The stresses of common perception and impending doom have frayed and fatigued our instinctual sensibilities, leaving us tattered and torn beneath the gravity of social reality.  We have all been broken, burdened by a constant barrage of consumable anxiety and disease, spinning us out, turning us around, inside out and upside down.  Our constant, collective focus on it has completed the vicious cycle.

“We have given away our power for the fantasy of Social Reality.”

The Mind:

As much as recent events impact us physically, the psychological effects are as or more devastating.  Mass fear and hysteria are being imposed upon the world’s population with a biased broadcast of information and a relentless campaign, laden with evident agendas.  This is the principal cause of adrenal fatigue and stress exhaustion now rampant in society.  Yet, it has also distorted, dominated and manipulated our thoughts, scrambling our neural pathways and transmitting destructive signals through our minds and bodies contributing to our imbalance.  This has compromised our already fragile immune systems, rendering us susceptible to delusion, disease, degeneration and death.

The Heart:

This last year has been an emotional tug-of-war.  Whether it is the official narrative on which the pandemic is widely reported in contrast to alternative and holistic viewpoints, the intensity of the US Presidential election, classism, inequality, injustice, racism and unrest, the will of the people is broken.  The necessity to defend our unique perception exacerbates our social climate.  Common acceptance, sense and understanding are eagerly abandoned.  Our hearts are overwhelmed both physically and emotionally under the sharp intolerance, judgement and scrutiny from family members, friends and colleagues wielding burden of proof as universal credence.  Our heart centers are being attacked, depleted and traumatized.  When they become unbalanced, we can no longer relate with our soul.   

The Intuition:

Our intuition is the interpreter of our being.  It empowers communication between our body, mind, heart and spirit.  When our body is healthy, our mind is clear and our heart is focused, the centers of our being resonate with our soul.  We all have seven major chakras.  When aligned, they are conduits for energy to flow from the universe and our soul, through our centers and into our heart, mind and body.  Our intuition is an eternal and infinite presence.  It empowers us to establish and maintain equanimity between the elements of our being.  When we achieve this balance, we are sourced by the universe through our soul.  Our intuition sends this multidimensional energy to enliven our heart, mind and body.      

The Soul:

Most people will not intimate with their soul until they pass from this earth, let alone embody it.  Everyone has a destiny with this experience.  Few choose to clarify, realize and sustain this extraordinary expression of being.  Society is a soulless entity, devoid of empathy, kindness, integrity, truth and understanding.  It is a viral syndrome, enslaving our collective soul.  We are immigrants to our essence and the universe.  This stark reality is most present in who we are being, how we live and how we treat each other.  Our arrogance, desire, ego and self-righteousness have sacrificed our soul for instant gratification.  The reckoning for humanity has come.

The Present We Live:

How we live our experience is our choice.  Society implies that there are choices, though few exist within its construct.  There are only menial decisions provided by an authoritarian-imposed affront weaponizing duality with left or right, dark or light, good or evil, day or night and wrong or right.  Being is our ability to break the spell of social conditioning to which we all fall victim.  Social reality is the wool pulled over our eyes when we are not paying attention.  This is our dilemma.  Our brushes with authentic epiphany and insight are rare and fleeting, to the degree we no longer acknowledge them as opportunity.  The past is dead.  The future is created by how present we live.  Universality is the only way we transform reality.

The Choice We Create:

There is a positive energetic shift occurring in the universe sourcing us with creativity, imagination, opportunity and transformation.  There is also a negative energetic movement in society influencing us toward captivity, destruction, fear, illness and death.  Our current era is defined by choice.  We become what we choose.  Where we aim our focus of attention is where we place our energy.  Aligning with the universal shift empowers us to transcend duality and be one with all.  When we opt for societal indoctrination and modification, we concede our personal power as victims of social reality.  The power of this choice cannot be weighed with instinct and intellect alone.  Emotion and intuition empower our choice to become an expression of the universe.            

Choose wisely! While the universe will bring you life, social reality will take it from you.”

Eye of the Beholder

“The way we see the world is not how it is.
Who we choose to be in the world is what it becomes.”

Shades of Perception:

The bell is tolling in the broken down, forgotten cathedral of truth.  Its ring echoes down the streets and corridors through the cities, suburbs, projects and underbellies of the world.  We have become disinterested, desensitized and dismissive to its crucial, earnest and awakening call.  Once there was a time in the not so distant past when its chime would gather together all who were in earshot of its sincere signal.  Now, its beckon has droned off into the white noise of our insatiable desires for amusement, competition, intelligence, profit, vanity, self-righteousness and inauthentic security.

Our society has invented a disposable marketplace of compliance, censure, conquest, distraction, disassociation, disease, hatred and fear.  This has engineered such a distortion of reality and its perception that confusion, collusion and illusion reign.  Education, religion, politics, media sources and entertainment manipulate perspective into opinion further deluding common understanding.  The eyes and minds of the world are blinded by agenda, arrogance, belief, pride and judgment.  All that we have conceded to be our contemporary experience of life is simply a dream within a dream, within a dream…

What we have been led to believe is true are all lies.  Common and popular points of view have gradually alienated us from the truth.  The imposition of an artificial reality shapes, influences, overwhelms and ultimately annihilates any possibility of divergence.  Our perceptions are altered and distorted in our everyday lives.  Yet, they are even more so in our minds.  We are besieged by the onslaught of visual and audible stimulus and the energetic impacts of lethal, electromagnetic emissions.  As many thoughts we have are as many instances our perceptions of life are hijacked.

A Slight of View:

We surrender the potential and power of our perception as easily and frequently as we give our life force over to people, things and circumstances that are of little to no benefit.  We are shadows of the human beings we were born, inspired and empowered to be.  Instead of creating our lives as the expression of our truth, we predominantly emulate fantasies that prevent us from achieving our intentions.  We adopt layers upon layers of perceptual filters that inevitably obstruct our ability to see the world as it is, let alone ourselves as we truly could become.

We do not establish our own true perception.  We accept, adapt and adopt our point of view based on our external attractions, influences, relations and situations.  Creating our own perspective requires us to claim the power of our choice, purpose, life and destiny.  Our society does not support this lifestyle.  It discourages, punishes and condemns creativity and diversity.  It is counterproductive to the network of control the few enforce upon the many.  We all choose, or rather don’t choose to claim our true vision.  We resign ourselves to be enslaved by our own fear.

Our lives unfurl beneath a vast umbrella of human deception.  The world enables this grand swindle with its apprehension, attention, energy and unconscious consumerism.  Eventually, we all become vital components in this insatiable and insidious machine.  Our apathy, cynicism, indifference and resignation are the building blocks of our simulated perspectives.  Our perception doesn’t produce or influence reality.  Reality invents our perception.  It enforces an interpretive barrier in our observation of and interaction with how we understand reality and ultimately how we create our truth.

“We cannot see nor do we choose to perceive the world as it is because we deny our active role in its current dilemma.”

The Tao of Now:

Whosoever controls perception controls the world.  Much of society is ruled by opinion.  The facts, realities and truth of humanity are most often abandoned in the global, sacrificial ceremony we call “life.”  Perception is exploited into a vortex of greed, vanity and status.  This distortion of perspective separates us from each other and ourselves.  It inspires us to doubt our relatives, condemn the accused, hate our opponents and fear all who are distinct from the contrived norm.  It is this common fear that has become the superficial belonging we all cling to for importance, worth, orientation and relativity.

We are multi-dimensional beings with a four-dimensional consciousness existing in a three-dimensional reality having a predominantly two-dimensional experience.  This is our true nature when we are born into this world.  As we “grow up,” we are programmed by and conditioned to the three-dimensional reality and imprisoned in the two-dimensional experience.  We eventually surrender the eclecticism of our essence.  The piranha of contemporary culture maniacally and methodically takes it from us.  Yet, it is not simply a conditioning of the mind.  It is a manipulation of perception.

Linear time is the greatest weapon used in three-dimensional reality.  Our perception is consistently and relentlessly attuned to an ominous, possible future, yet most often focused on an incomplete and regrettable past.  Our lives are restricted by the uncertainty of what may be and the discontent of what was.  This is the mirage of common reality. The only experience that is true in our lives is this moment.  Everything else is an illusion.  Even the future is a fantasy in relation to the now.  Who we are being in the present is the only practice that will transform our life.

Eye of the Observer:

All of us are enamored within our personal hypnosis.  We invent fantasies to present our lives to others as being of great value, meaning and purpose.  We become so attached to what happens around us that we are not present to the extraordinary within.  Most of us live from our peripheral.  We rely upon external sources for direction, influence and motivation to make our choices, accomplish our routine tasks and endure.  This is the three-dimensional perception of our two-dimensional experience.  Yet, we rarely identify, consult and apply our own clarity, leadership, strength and wisdom.

The most overlooked and undervalued facet of our being is our “observing eye.”  This is our “third eye.”  It sources our epiphanies, insights, consciousness, transformation, creativity and enlightenment.  With this unique perception we are able to live from our intuition.  Our inner observer is not a locality within us.  It is an essential expression of our being.  This is our true personality.  It was who we were as children and who we are destined to be.  Our commitment to stand in and experience ourselves with the eye of the observer grants us the freedom to transform ourselves and ultimately reality.

We are not our perceptions.  No matter how much power we may give to them, they are merely echoes of our intellect.  We are almost entirely run by our positions due to our lack of commitment to consciousness.  Awareness for most is merely optional.  The less we create for ourselves, the more likely we become victims of our perceptions.  It may seem extremely daunting to reclaim our power from the imposition of this virtual reality.  Yet, our choice to transcend the tides of social influence and obligation is the distinction between simply surviving reality and truly thriving in our truth.

“The true power of experience is not in how it is seen, it is in how it is felt.”

Music in the Key of Soul

The Conquest of Noise

It does not take an aficionado to observe the declining quality of contemporary music.  When we dare to explore the radio dial, we often find a barrage of noise attacking our ears and senses.  We may search for the message and our connection with it, though rarely are we able to enjoy or resonate with the songs or the frequency in which they are recorded and broadcast.  Where once we were empowered, inspired and happy in our listening, now we often experience the side effects of corpora-tized sound.

A hostile takeover has been executed with boardroom secrecy and precision.  It has nearly sacrificed the essence of music.  Initially it was the manipulation of the frequency in which music was tuned, performed and recorded.  Next it was the elementary, commercial, propaganda-laden lyrics influencing our listening, perceptions and lifestyles.  Then it was the incessant promotion of untalented people singing meaningless songs to distract us from the real issues in society and ourselves.  Now it is the control of the industry by the unoriginal few at the cost of the passion and creativity of the many.

An Uphill Battle

It has become exceedingly difficult for musical artists, i.e. singer/songwriters and composers, to find their audience and niche let alone succeed in the contemporary marketplace.  The industry has become an exclusive club of untalented and elitist entrepreneurs seeking instant stardom and financial windfall from engineered music that is here today, gone yesterday.  This has produced a system that has mirrored the pyramid schemes found most often in the corporate finance and business sectors.  Creativity and empowerment in music has been greatly replaced by popularity and profit.

The music industry is rigged.  To some degree it always has been, much like many other forms of artistic expression.  Creativity in music has become less about the art and more about what the artist is willing to sacrifice.  Hit singles and endorsement deals are the standards of success.  It is more about pushing corporate agendas then artistry.  The customary recipe for music is repetitive, trance-like lyrics that program explicit and subliminal messages to alter the thought patterns of the listener.  It applies mechanistic beats and multi-layered sounds more so resembling racket rather than music.

The common tuning frequency in music has been 440-hertz since the World War Era.  It was altered from 432-hertz to promote the energy of war and conflict.  The difference is less than a half step in diminished chromatic tuning.  The energy of 440-hertz is dark, chaotic, puts the listener on edge and can incite reactions of aggression, confusion and cognitive dissonance.  Most listeners of music, as well as the musicians that play it, do not possess a heightened awareness or understanding of frequencies.  The denser vibrations of music impose a forceful persuasion upon even the peripheral audience.

Revolution Reveals the Truth

Most artists and musicians have accepted the conditions of the industry, much like most human beings have adopted the rules and regulations of their society’s everyday reality.  Most are desperate, overwhelmed and willing to alter themselves and compromise their artistic integrity just to survive doing what they love.  Very few have been able to manifest their musical vision into its most pure and true expression.  Those that have, find it exceptionally challenging to gain the necessary attention, support and longevity to sustain their craft into a lucrative career.

The most vital and symbolic element in the dynamic of an artist’s successful creativity is their willingness to stand for, be confident with and share their expression.  It is a given in the contemporary climate of the arts that there are far more things against than are with them.  It isn’t merely their passion, desire or even the need to create and perform that can carry an artist to their melodious paradise.  It exists in their way of being and the energetic quality of their expression.  This is when the excitement, creative power and relatedness happens that allows musical artists to transcend the industry’s authority.

The Power of Expression

It may seem difficult to follow one’s vision in the process of writing, recording and performing music, yet it is as vital as our heart is to our body.  Each one of us received the blessing of life in this world.  Each one of us was given a voice and an avenue of expression.  The majority of us rarely discover ours, let alone convey it.  Our creativity isn’t just an ability or gift.  It isn’t even for the love or the freedom we experience while we are playing music.  It is our eternal life force made manifest.  It is our destiny articulated in sound.  It is who we truly are when we allow ourselves to be.

As artists, the measure of our creativity is in the declaration of our truth, purity and illumination.  In this age of contemporary music, it is very easy to be influenced by the external forces around us.  We may even catch ourselves unconsciously imitating the current popular melodies or beats we may encounter. Only our own true expression kindles our creativity, life force and energy.  It transforms our environment as well as our selves in our pursuit to expand our artistic being.

Who Feels It Knows It

All music is born from silence.  Everything that is creatively possible as music is first silence before it is transposed into sound.  The greatest music ever composed has had an evocative presence of silence to enhance its melodies, harmonies and rhythms.  The silence between the notes and beats have always expressed the enchantment and mystery of a song. Silence is the most overlooked yet powerful element in music.  It is in the silence where the soul of music is found.

Creativity is an eternal, multi-dimensional presence.  It plays the artist as an instrument in a communal exchange to become sound in physical reality.  However, the artist must be present and open to this force for it to flow through them and be expressed to its fullest potential.  This requires a great deal of de-programming and releasing what one has learned and believed to achieve an enhanced ability to feel and intuit.  This is the cornerstone of the transcendent relationship between the artist’s soul and the source.

Music is not something that we write and perform.  It is quite the contrary.  It is a stream of consciousness that moves through us when we have reached an enlightened expression of being.  All artists stand at the mouth of this current, yet we are not its source.  It is a sacred, ethereal bond we establish with our willingness and dedication to let go of who we think we are and become who we were meant to be.  It is not in the notes or even the instruments we play.  It is in the resonation of our soul’s harmony in concert with the melodic source of creation where music thrives in its purest and truest expression.

Music is the song of our soul.
