Transformation

From the Heart

“Love is a journey of the soul.”

Gender Duality

When we were young, masculinity and femininity were not in our awareness.  We distinguished a man from a woman, yet we did not place much credence upon the stereotypes we would levee with our selective gender personification.  Whether it is our education, environment, heredity, personality, religion or society, young boys were required to repress their feminine, while young girls were obliged to suppress their masculine.  This broadened the gender schism, conditioning us to avoid, disregard and escape our biological inverses. We became unbalanced human beings, cast into a duality of social relativity.

A Mother for All

A boy’s first love is his mother, and a girl’s her father.  My mom has always been outgoing, outlandish and outspoken, aging as gracefully as the finest wine.  Growing up with her was rarely a dull moment, as she would sing, play the piano, take us on adventures and encourage us to be who my brother and I would become.  She was the center of our world, shifting us through grief when divorce shattered the heart of our family.  She was our hero, bearing the gravity of our upbringing when our lives were falling apart.  When I trace the roots of my charity, creativity, emotionality and humanity, they were all inspired by my mother. 

First Kiss

When I was seven years old, I lived in Marysville, Michigan.  Every day I would walk four blocks back and forth to elementary school.  My mom was friends with a woman who lived on our street, and I would tag along with her on visits to play with the neighbor’s daughter.  One day, we were playacting like we were being married, reciting our vows, holding hands and kissing when the auspicious moment came.  At first, I engaged with curiosity and innocence, not entirely aware of what was happening.  Eventually, we would speed through our vows just to hold hands and kiss.  To this day, these are still essential intimacies for me.

Middle School Steady

A few years after my parents divorced, we moved to Leelanau County.  After a year there, I moved back to Marysville with my father.  As he was the Principal of the Middle School I attended, it caused social alienation and awkwardness in my teenage life.  This is when I began to notice the opposite sex.  During eighth grade, I went steady with a girl in my class, not even knowing what that meant.  I recall going to dances, talking on the phone, writing notes, holding hands and stealing kisses with her in the school hallways.  However, our young fling was as fleeting as a dream, given I would move back to Leelanau County for High School.     

“Onliness empowers relativity.”

High School Badlands

All though High School, I never had a girlfriend.  I did have hormones racing through me as a teenager, yet I was not drawn to anyone in particular.  There were a handful of girls in our class of 22, and half of them were spoken for, so I dove into friendship, music and nature, as we lived in one of the most beautiful places in Michigan.  During this time, there were brief relationships here and there, yet nothing that yielded fond memories.  This would empower my path toward introspection, transformation and understanding, preparing me for the extraordinary relationship I was to experience over the last 24 years.

Passing Ships

At an age when most were gravitating toward college, career, marriage and kids, I was more invested in celebration, friends, music and nature.  After a few brief encounters in my early twenties, I spent a year and a half during the prime of my musical experience in my first real relationship with a kind woman.  However, I was still too immature, intoxicated and insubordinate for it to last.  I ended the relationship, mainly for her benefit.  A year later, I shifted and transformed my life, beginning my journey of discovery, exploration and evolution.  Over the next ten years, I would have relationships, yet none endured longer than a few months.

Intimating the Muse

From my mid-to-late twenties, I spent a lot of time experimenting with spirituality, writing music, poems and short stories and being in nature.  My days were spent in solitary, intimating with myself, or who I thought I was at the time.  Years later, I realized I had been deprogramming from egocentricity, heredity, indoctrination and society, while building a foundation of being with my soul.  As I endeavored to relate with who I was, this experience empowered me to embody who I would become. Once I began discovering and expressing my truth, music was the muse that inspired me to create relativity with community.

Ceremonial Relativity

My spiritual journey began with the Fourth Way School in my mid-twenties, to my Celtic heritage and then Kabbalah when I turned thirty.  My sister invited me to a Pipe Ceremony around this time, and I fully shifted into the Lakota Tradition, marking my exodus from spirituality.  In Ceremony, I learned to listen, live and relate with beings beyond this world.  Soul relativity is omni dimensional; first universal, then intuitive, emotional, intellectual and finally physical.  During the last 24 years of walking this path, kinship evolved with myself and community, and established my ceremonial relativity in prayer. 

The True of all Trues

Around the time I began participating in Ceremony, I was taking courses on personal transformation.  One day I was walking down the hallway at the Center and came upon a beautiful woman speaking with her friends.  She had an aura of enchantment that expressed her inner radiance.  I was drawn to her with excitement, though she was taken aback by my exuberance.  Neither of us had known we had both signed up for the same course that was to begin in a week.  I showed up for the first class, and having been aware of the seating position-sharing partner format in all the courses, I quickly sat down next to her.  The rest is destiny.

From the Heart

For the last 24 years, my wife and I have had a universal relationship, sharing common ideologies, philosophies, revelations, transformations, visions, understandings and roles in Ceremonial Community.  We have learned together to be balanced, unique human beings who empower ourselves and each other to share in the fulfillment of our relativity.  Whether it is the elation when we are together, or the anticipation when we are apart, feeling is becoming.  When I reflect on the encounters I have had, each was an opportunity to evolve into the person I am, and empower and experience soul relativity.

Quest for Consciousness

/ Iam Saums / Leave a comment

“Vision is the origin of awareness.”

Adolescent Awakening

Until my late teens, I did not consider myself a conscious person.  As children, we are closest to our soul before we are indoctrinated into the societal matrix via our environment, education, heredity, media, politics and religion.  Halfway through High School, I began to observe there was something callous and sinister within the constitutions of humanity.  Being indifferent to the malevolent machinations of our collective enslavement, I felt dispirited by the social obsession for survival, superseding my personal opportunity to thrive.  I stood upon the precipice of adulthood, nearly selling my soul for a simulation.

Breaking the Spell

Had I not been present to predictive programming in High School, it certainly was evident at university.  After a year of educational conditioning, I liberated myself from a future of integration into the virtuality of social reality and began my unique quest for consciousness.  The element of learning that empowered me was the evolution of my personal awareness.  When I turned 20, it was evident I would never experience universal understanding in the domain of indoctrination.  My choice was to either migrate with the masses into social conformity or pioneer my unique journey into soul relativity.

The Entitlement of Ego

When I was 24, I had a transformational shift which brought me out of the oblivion of virtual existence into the revelation of universal experience.  This evolution took decades and continues to progress to this day.  As my clarity focused, so did my awareness to the tapestry of engineered authoritarian agendas, exploitations, policies, strategies and warfare, enslaving humanity into a deliberate and profitable state of fear.  As I became ever present to the infinite nuances of the global conspiracies, my ego grew, enabled by my entitled reactivity to its indifference, inequality, injustice and inhumanity.

Conspiracy Theorem

Twenty-three years ago, a friend of mine sent me a link to a documentary which featured an alternative scientific viewpoint detailing the attacks on September 11th, 2001.  This was the first tragedy in recorded history when the official report provided by government agencies was controversially contested, debated, debunked and denied.  Soon after, a totalitarian initiative was implemented to weaponize the cognitive dissonance of the people, discrediting all who refuted the official narrative, while stigmatizing them as conspiracy theorists.  A term invented by the very individuals who commit atrocities against humanity.

“Awareness is the foundation of consciousness.”

Spiritual Enigma

I always had an inclination toward the mystical since I was a child.  However, life in the simulation of social reality draws the oxygen out of the existential room.  When I made my exodus into sobriety at 25, it was not long before I found spirituality.  Yet, my ego was in lockstep with my evolution.  It took me over a decade to begin to sever the environmental, hereditary and involuntary egocentricity inhibiting my experience, perception and progression.  I observed the impacts my audacity and superiority inflicted upon others and eventually recognized there is very little difference between egocentricity and spirituality.

Media Inoculation

From my teens into my early 30’s, I paid no attention to broadcast news.  I did not know why I was tuned out; I was simply not engaged.  Until the advent of alternative media in the early 2000’s when I began my own research into what had initially disturbed me years ago in High School.  As I dove down the proverbial rabbit hole, what I discovered enraged yet empowered me at the same time.  This also ignited my ego, and I had many contentious encounters with family and friends in my futile attempts to share the truth.  After a few years of hammering my head against the wall of my arrogance, I chose to transcend and free myself from the vicious cycles of my pride.

The Mantra of Being

When I met my wife 24 years ago, our relationship began within the experience of meditation.  We both attended a local center that provided a practice in the Jain Tradition.  This became a daily ritual for both of us.  In the accelerated, intensified and weaponized toxicity of contemporary virtuality, it is an essential pathway to transformation and transcendence.  In practice, I have expanded my consciousness, written music, published articles, spirit journeyed, aligned with soul relativity and empowered my flow with universality.  Fulfillment of being resonates in the amity, serenity and silence of meditation.

Holding a Space

Another lifestyle my wife and I have shared since our beginning is Ceremony.  After 24 years of experiences, we share roles with our commitments in the community.  Of all the spiritual encounters we have had, prayer is the most meaningful, powerful and profound.  Our service thru ceremony has inspired our awareness for essential relativity with all.  It is an experience beyond connection, friendship, family and this world.  As challenging, difficult and excruciating as this path may be, it empowers acceptance, compassion, fortitude, generosity, humility, kinship and understanding.  In essence, it is all about holding a space for prayer.

The Daily Bread

Universality is a multidimensional encounter.  Therefore, it encourages us to empower an omni dimensional experience.  Consciousness resonates on the frequency of our soul relativity.  Every morning I pray, meditate, practice yoga, listen to the universe and set my energetic boundaries.  The prayer relates me with my soul and all my relatives, meditation aligns me with my center, yoga synergizes my body, mind and heart with the source. Establishing my sacred space balances the equilibrium I create in my practices.  Music, writing and relating with friends and family empowers my daily experience.

A Quest for Consciousness

Every day is an opportunity to be in flow with our soul and the universe, empowering our inner relativity, while transforming our environment.  The quest for consciousness begins with being observant, focused, present, grounded, centered and aligned.  Where we conduct our attention is where we direct our energy.  In these taxing, toxic and tumultuous times, our resonance, transformation and transcendence is essential in shifting our terrestrial existence into a universal experience.  As impossible as freedom may seem amidst the stratagems of global fuckery, our consciousness is embodied in our universality. 

“Consciousness is the resonance of our being.”

An Age of Awakening

“The more we shun, the less we become.”

The Proverbial Fiddle

We have been played; deluded and exploited since the day we were born.  Our egocentricity prevents us from observing, let alone emancipating ourselves from our enslavement.  We would rather declare our self-righteousness than embody our soul-consciousness.  We have all been deceived.  Decades of institutional indoctrination have conditioned us to be victims of personal and social oppression.  We absolve ourselves from our assimilation via our addictions to sociality, triviality and virtuality.  We are deliberately manipulated into an oblivion of conflict-duality, playing the pawn in a global game beyond our understanding.

Birth to Now

Before we are born, we are an omni dimensional being of celestial energy.  During our transition into being human, we inherit the cosmic resonances occurring at our birth.  Most people emulate two or three planetary influences yet remain unconscious of their universal potentialities.  Our integration into society via our educational, environmental, hereditary, religious and social indoctrination, diminishes our consciousness, emotionality, intuition and universality into a three-dimensional existence with a two-dimensional cognizance.  Eventually, we become avatars in a virtual program we humanize as life.  

Insular Reality

As we mature, we acquiesce our awareness into the selective boundaries of our personal simulation.  We abandon our universal experience for a virtual existence.  Our universality is condensed into empirical instinct, intellect and emotion.  We infuse and proselytize our dreams, ideologies, narratives and politics with selective propaganda, to gratify the insatiable appetites of our egocentricity.  We evade, reject and withdraw from the world as our regimen for survival, disguising our deficiencies, insecurities and weaknesses with vanity.  We subscribe to our personal enslavement, both condemning and emulating society within our insular reality.

Natural Regression

For the first two decades of our life, we are ever evolving, growing and transforming.  Our development shifts from birth to infancy, toddler to childhood and adolescent to adulthood.  However, beneath the gravity of society, we halt our progression, feigning maturity while remaining in a stasis of blind adolescence.  An exhibition of this occurred in the last US Election when the conservative party spun extreme propaganda, deluding its constituency with false narratives to produce a mass-resonance of negative reactivity.  This invoked the repressed adolescence of the voters. They were conned into selling their souls for their egocentricity.

“Would we rather be right or related?” – True 

The New Matrix

“The Matrix” movie was an advisory documentary, providing a warning of a probable future.  When we allow our cognitive dissonance, fear, indoctrination and narratives to desensitize us to the cruelty of society, we are likely one of the many wired into a digital pod, isolated in our personal simulation.  The previous matrix that has enslaved humanity for eons is being upgraded.  The acceleration, intensification, manipulation and proliferation of cultural, ideological, political, racial and religious atrocities are transitioning us into the New Matrix. The strategy is to segregate us from our souls and digitize us into virtuality.

Lightning Rod

Whether we endorse or condemn the adolescent, egomaniacal and sociopathic avatar that is Donald Trump, all the fervor of conservative fanaticism and liberal fury is feeding him exactly what his demented ego craves.  He is a social vortex, a lightning rod to hack and hijack our collective attention, weaponizing it against us with the toxicity of our own reactivity.  It is a hostile takeover of our awareness.  When we engage in social contention, we are transmuting the universal resonance of our soul into a negative frequency of egocentricity, distorting and destroying our consciousness for the entitlement of our rage and self-righteousness.

Vicious Cycles

All forms of media are a mind control experiment to execute our predictive programming.  Whether it is alternative, dark web, mainstream or social, controversial content triggers our neural pathways to transmit endorphins via our opioid receptors with our nervous system. This enables our addiction.  Our indoctrinated intelligence runs viral in the toxicity of our social environment, suppressing our instincts, emotions, intuition and soul.  Media stimuli evoke vicious cycles of our reactivity.  When we focus our attention upon contentious medium, we acquiesce our personal power to its programming.  Thus, we fail to transcend and establish relativity with our soul and the universe.

Existential Infancy

Reality is a projection of sensory information we interpret and translate into selective perception.  Yet visible light is only .0035% of the universal, electromagnetic spectrum.  Therefore, how we perceive reality is vastly inaccurate, ineffective and imperfect.  Most of us quantify realism with a three-dimensional acuity, encoded primarily through our body, mind and heart.  The Societal Matrix in which we engage is enabled by primitive instinct, intellect and emotion.  When we equate this with the previous statement relating to our development from birth, humanity is collectively in its evolutionary infancy.  

Universal Shift

14 years ago, a universal, energetic progression occurred.  It was the dawn of a new era, encouraging us into relativity with our soul.  Whenever the opportunity for transformation is present, all that is contrary to our transcendence rises to be released from our being.  As we are observing in society, we are collectively failing as a species with our universal opportunity.  Each of us has a unique, energetic resonance, which can be embodied through our synergy with our soul.  Our choice is either to engage in the virtuality of the New Matrix or empower our convergence as an expression of the universal shift.   

An Age of Awakening 

Our routine lives are a delusion (fantasy) we have invented to integrate with the illusion (artificiality) that is social reality (virtuality).  Awakening is paramount in freeing ourselves from our existential enslavement, thus transcending our insular simulation to relate with our soul (universality).  The extreme, malevolent and toxic anarchy now accelerating and intensifying to distort and exploit our vision, existence and experience is our wake-up call to embody our universal being.  Awakening from our personal psychosis in social reality is and will always be our soul destiny.  Who we empower ourselves to be defines our humanity.        

“Being is the soul way to transform virtuality into universality.”

Tis The Season

/ Iam Saums / 1 Comment

“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…”

A New Era

/ Iam Saums / Leave a comment

“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.”

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.

The Transcendent Party

“If voting counted, we would never be granted the liberty.”

Civil War

The United States political map is checkered with red and blue.  Rural regions are predominantly conservative, while urban areas are primarily liberal.  Most of us are hereditarily and socially influenced from an early age to pledge our allegiance.  Long before the American Civil War, authoritarian entities and organizations have strategized ideological, political, religious and social division amongst their constituencies.  We eagerly participate in an electoral con, hook, line and sinker.  Of course, we would not identify as a victim of partisanship, then we would be acknowledging the naivety of our self-inflicted exploitation.  When we engage in two-party politics, we enable our enslavement in a combative duality, preserving eras of civil war. 

Time Immoral

Every four years, the political model is the same.  Alternative, mainstream and social media spin selective narratives of controversy and indoctrination for populus consumption to ensure our engagement.  Journalism has been distorted and engineered into editorially-radicalized propaganda and rhetoric.  Instead of investing our own personal research for equitable information, we devour fabricated opinion as fact, projecting our partisan programming upon the opposition.  With all the bluster only egocentricity can convey, each side attempts to sway the other to their narrative.  Our arrogance and insolence feign our stand for superficial causes.  All the while, political parties endorse anger, fear, hatred, hostility, insecurity and toxicity. 

Party Lines

Whether we are conservative or liberal does not matter.  In a sports game, two teams don their colors with distinctive strategies.  One team is on offense, the other on defense.  They both jockey for position, making plays to achieve the advantage.  One team wins and the other loses.  It is the classic paradigm of duality.  The same can be observed in politics.  Yet, in the electoral arena, the stakes are higher as the contest is real (or so it may seem.)  When we pick a side, we subscribe to a “singularity” of ideology.  We debate and reject everything about the opponent.  We even deny their very existence, condemning them to irrelevance, irrationality and oblivion.  Where party lines begin, acceptance, listening and understanding ends.

The Powers that Be

Elite bloodlines rule the world.  They control banks, corporations, the entertainment industry, financial institutions, media outlets, the medical industry, military forces, scientific communities and universities.  They invest in lobbyists to influence politicians to protect their investments.  They are sociopaths who oppress and suppress society to manipulate the global population.  If we do not see this by now, we simply are not paying attention. When we discover alternative media, it often triggers our reactivity, compelling us to claim, “conspiracy theory!”  This allows us to defend our cognitive dissonance, denial, fear and uncertainty when we encounter contrary information that conflicts with our beliefs.  When we reject diverse ideologies, it does not mean they are not true.

“Voting is the acquiescence of our personal power.”

Conspiracy Theorist/Smearist

“Conspiracy theory” is a term authoritarian entities and organizations invented to discredit and demonize those who question and/or resist their totalitarian agendas to exploit the global population for profit and power.  In the last decade, social interest in alternative media has gone “viral.”  Theories that were once dismissed as sacrilege are progressively being accepted for their truth.  A recent distinction I observed from current events is the term, “conspiracy smeary.”  This is when a proven “conspiracy theory” is distorted and propagandized to spread false narratives for ideological, political, religious and/or social influence, manipulation and weaponization.  This has further condemned conspiracy theory into a mere deception of perception.

A Lost Cause

During the seminal establishment of the United States, the vision of democracy was sound.  As with many ideologies, what has manifested from the necessity for freedom is the blasphemy of sovereignty.  Politicians have rarely, if ever, served the people they were sworn to empower, protect and represent.  With all the loyal dependency we can muster, we sacrifice our personal power for a savior to free us from the very oppression we enable with our engagement.  Whether the slogan is “We are not going back!” or “Make America great again!” our reliance upon the rhetoric of politicians only leads to our enslavement.  Democracy is a lost cause, simply because it does not exist, nor has it ever endured totalitarian egocentricity.

A Crime against Humanity

Social movements model their demonstrations with occupation.  Imagine if we stood for and inhabited ourselves with the same passion!  Protests are reactive events, caused by the extreme inequities of authoritarian organizations.  Rallies are a social simulation to provoke negative responses.  In essence, it is a social science experiment to preoccupy “radical” movements with their own reactivity.  This is the strategy the political system employs.  Stimulate an electoral environment into a fever pitch of negativity with ambiguity, conflict, debate, deception, fanaticism, fear, manipulation and prejudice.  Then kindle the flames of contention until both sides defeat each other with their opposing indifference.  Politics are a crime against humanity.

A Shift of Empowerment

In the previous article, I shared about the essential shift we all can experience in our transition from engagement to empowerment.  The spirit of sovereignty is not with who and what we engage, yet in how we empower ourselves.  There is a fine line between democracy and dictatorship, which history has proven with countless illustrations.  Democracy inspires mutual acceptance, contribution, relativity and understanding.  Whereas dictatorship imposes control, fear, hatred, indoctrination and intolerance.  Our shift into empowerment begins when we align with, express and embody our soul.  It is not an easy endeavor to manifest transcendence within the linear parameters of social reality.  Freedom is found in our empowerment to transform.

Transformation and Transcendence

The ideology to which we subscribe often becomes our fixed way of being.  Whether it is political, religious, social or otherwise, our belief, expression, identity, status and worth cannot be quantified by the declaration of our personal partisanship.  Yet, we tend to emulate our social indoctrination as who we are.  We opt to endorse candidates who will inevitably deceive and exploit us.  This provides us the ideal excuse for the comfort and ease of our personal evasion.  Every experience we encounter is an opportunity for us to shift from exalting others to empowering ourselves.  Transformation and transcendence are both sourced by the universe.  Our essential choice is our soul.   

The Transcendent Party

Recently, I was making observations with a friend about politics.  Neither of us resonated with either party.  I half-jokingly declared, “I belong to the Transcendent Party.”  In my experience, pledging to any organization without personal discernment is not only social conformity, but also the definition of a “cult.”  No matter how much faith, hope and trust we bestow upon ambitious, charismatic, confident and passionate candidates, it will never equal the empowerment we experience when we discover and embody these qualities within.  Our universal shift begins when we select ourselves as the representative with whom we are inspired.  Beyond the pandemonium of the political divide, transcendence is the freedom only our soul can provide.

From Engagement to Empowerment

/ Iam Saums / Leave a comment

“Existence is not experience.”

Founded on Fear

We are enslaved in a three-dimensional existence, programmed to project reality (illusion) instead of embody universality (being).  For the institutionalized mind, this statement evokes conspiracy theory, fantasy, lunacy, volatility and uncertainty.  What is present for those of us who cast disdain, judgement and ridicule at diversity is our fear and insecurity.  Instead of observing our opportunity to be an expression of our soul, we cling to our delusion within the illusion of “reality.”  Our egocentricity imposes our agenda for self-relevance, righteousness and vanity.  Fear is a force that influences us all.  Yet, it is our choice for consciousness we all trivialize. 

Defending the Indefensible

Reality is the most powerful force in society.  It is even greater than “God.”  The absolute totality of our belief, engagement, investment and interaction certainly proves this bold statement.  It supersedes all social nuances, simply because it is human nature to exist within its mainframe; illustrated by our oblivion to the sheer scale of its assimilation, indoctrination and manipulation.  When we encounter diverse concepts, ideologies, observations and perceptions that challenge our reality, we fervently defend it with reckless abandon.  We are simply too terrified to admit we were deceived, mistaken, naïve and victimized.  Our egocentricity enables our enslavement.

The Con of Egocentricity

None of us want to be told what to do.  Yet, every day we depend on authoritarian entities and organizations for leadership.  It is an enigmatic and oxymoronic paradox to which we all subscribe.  In essence, a personal delusion we condition ourselves to emulate as a defense mechanism against ourselves.  Our self-centered oblivion enables our susceptibility to our ego, as does our emotional immaturity.  We allow our egocentricity to control us with our own arrogance, cognitive dissonance, doubt, fear, insecurity, oblivion and self-righteousness.  We are conned by our own egos, simply because we live in the triviality of our vanity.

The Vortex of Reality

Reality is a control matrix, designed and enforced to segregate us from our soul and the universe.  Our engagement in its virtual domain establishes our integration into its social operating system.  Our dependence upon its artificiality sustains our existential slavery.  When we invest ourselves into its matrix, we acquiesce our energy, thus our soul.  Reality is a black hole, ever distorting and devouring our life force.  It diminishes universality into a lower frequency, energy resonance, provoking negativity via an onslaught of virtual stimulation.  We enable our enslavement with our dependence, engagement, oblivion and reactivity.

“We are energetic vortices in the matrix of social reality.”

Within the Lines

We engage in personal and social conformity for ideology, intelligence, security, stability and wealth.  Without these standards of existence, the fragility of our artificiality inevitably spirals into chaos, destruction and even death.  Though we have a fundamental conception and knowledge of our enslavement, we forfeit our choice to be free.  Much like a computer, we are programmed with our every encounter in sociality.  The biological virtuality in which we are integrated is not a program, it is a virus, encoding the neural pathways of our mind.  We are enslaved into an existentially linear paradigm.  Our lives are simply simulations running within its lines.

Empowerment Assured

I have a great deal of compassion for people who are victimized by their conditioned oblivion; proliferated by extreme authoritarianism in social reality.  That is until I observe them pulling the wool over their own eyes, in an evasion of their truth, with the brazen arrogance of their egocentricity.  For years, I have written articles with the purpose of expressing clarity, distinction, insight and understanding.  However, I am aware, empathic and present enough to sense the biased, inhibited and selective comprehension of an indoctrinated populus.  In a dynamic as complex, distorted, manipulated and toxic, empowerment is essential.

Universal Origins

The Sun is the center of our galaxy.  The solar flare activity we have recently been observing in the temperature shifts of the Earth and the presence of the Aurora Borealis is not “climate change,” at least in the ways it has been scientifically reported.  Beyond the intellectual interpretations, hypothesized to impose and project reason onto universal mystery, the truth abides.  Our relativity with the universal energetic shift of the new era is empowered by the Sun.  Hence, it is the source of our transformational shift into transcendental being.  Our soul and the universe are one, synergized in an expression of universality.  

Transcendental Shift

We have been in the era of transcendence since the Winter Solstice 2012.  It is essential we sever the infinite tethers we enact with our engagement in social reality, to fulfill our universal evolution.  We first need to acknowledge the slavery of our soul, enabled by our dependence on and obsession with artificiality.  When we are present to our soul, we can observe the cost of feigning our life with egocentricity.  In the face of universal opportunity, it is an evasion of our authenticity, integrity and universality.  The vital expressions of our evolution are empowering and embodying our transcendental shift.

From Engagement to Empowerment

For the last 12 years, I have practiced daily exercises to be aligned, centered, focused, grounded and related with my soul and the universe.  In transforming my behaviors, I experienced an extraordinary, transitional shift.  Its progression empowered my transcendence from artificiality.  Not with egocentricity, yet with universality.  Our universal evolution begins when we withdraw our engagement from social reality and embody the empowerment of our soul.  Each of us express a unique, energetic resonance.  Our soul sources our transcendence.  It shifts us from existence to experience, transforming our artificial engagement into universal empowerment.

“Empowerment is universality.”

From Reality to Universality

“Our enslavement in sociality exists as reality.”

Exodus of Existence

Annually, I participate in a week-long event.  For most, it may be just a week out of the year.  For some, preparations for the next year begin when the current one ends.  In my experience, one observation I have discovered is how much deprogramming from reality we must fulfill to be present to each other, nature and our prayer.  Every day, we expose ourselves to endless social influence, imposition and impact, tethering us to a carnal, hostile and toxic social reality.  Most of us adapt to this cooperative violence, patting ourselves on the back as we survive.  While some of us distinguish ourselves from this vicious cycle in our quest to thrive.

Decrypting the Script

Whether it is an event, retreat, seminar or vacation, freeing ourselves from the daily routines of social reality empowers us to become present to how much bearing it has on our experience.  We may encounter withdrawals from our personal dependencies on alternative, mainstream and social media, our devices, our lifestyles and our habitual and hereditary patterns of behavior.  Beyond the comfort, convenience, familiarity and safety of our individual and social artificiality, we can observe, experience and transcend the commonalities of our fear, insecurity and oblivion.  Decrypting our conditioning from this paradigm is essential for our transcendence.  

Inherent Oblivion

All of us enable, engender and embody our share of oblivion.  This is not to declare everyone is “oblivious.”  The vital distinction of being is consciousness.  Living devoid of awareness is oblivion.  This statement is not new age, metaphysics or spirituality.  It is an expression and understanding of universality.  The accumulation of an unconscious existence, our enslavement in linear time and our personal and social exploitation has engineered humanity into egocentric automatons.  When we refuse to acknowledge and accept that we are victims of cognitive fear manipulation, we can never hold ourselves accountable for our voluntary engagement in a cooperative, sociopathic existence. 

The TranscenDance

Being present to and experiencing the extraordinary requires us to observe, transform and transcend our institutionalized programming, thus enslaving us into a fixed, perceptual filter of existing as ordinary.  There is nothing of value in being human, and everything of essence in human being.  Being human is to acquiesce our universality for the egocentricity of artificiality:  heredity, ideology, media, politics, religion, science, self-righteousness, vanity and wealth.  Human being is our opportunity to shift from egocentricity into universality with charity, community, empowerment, experience, relativity, transformation, transcendence and understanding. 

“Our social enslavement is our failure to be an expression of our soul.”

Environmental Empowerment

Once we have withdrawn from the routines of social reality, we begin to become present to the resonance of universality.  This transition can be inspiring, intimidating and terrifying.  In my recent experience, I observed that being in community, having a focus of intent and performing physical labor shifted me into an essential awareness, balance and relativity to express, embody and resonate with my soul.  I also observed this within the community, occurring uniquely with each person.  Environmental empowerment collectively evolved as our week together progressed.  Each year, we all establish a synchronicity of relativity.  That is until our event ends.

Returning to Reality

As there are over seven billion unique truths, there are as many or more exclusive realities.  Most misinterpret reality as their truth, yet the two are significantly distinct.  Reality is a simulation, based on our personal and social engagement.  It is a perceptual defense narrative we invent to endure and survive the chaos, cruelty, inequality, injustice and violence of society.  Our truth is the expression of our soul’s resonance.  In essence, universality.  It manifests as our unique, energetic frequency when we transcend reality.  Truth can never be discovered or established in a social paradigm.  It thrives in our personal intimacy and relativity with our soul and the universe. 

Source of Experience

Existence is our commonality of living in oblivion.  It is a vortex that consumes our universality.  Experience is our unique expression of being.  In social reality, experience exists primarily in a vacuum of artificiality.  In other words, it is an enigma many associate with belief, ideology, religion or spirituality.  When we are in flow with the resonance of our soul, our perception of and interaction with social reality collapses, simply because our experience transforms our existence.  During the week of our annual event, this paradox ceases to exist, as our collective focus and purpose transcends our individual fear and insecurity.  Universality sources our experience.

Bittersweet Medicine

The personal reality we invent tethers us to the social reality in which we engage. It is all an illusion.  Our relativity with this simulation is our individual delusion.  Whenever we happen to transcend this matrix, we eventually return to its enslavement.  Our dependency upon its artificiality is beyond addiction. In the vicious cycles of sociality, there is a personal payoff we receive, justifying our obedient and oblivious engagement.  We can preoccupy ourselves with the diversions of reality to evade our soul.  Yet, when our personal and social “busy-ness” settles, our common truth remains.  We are a universal, energetic being.  Our soul purpose is to observe, empower, express, relate, transform and transcend.

Transcendental Shift

When we experience transcendence from social reality, we discover and explore the energetic flow of universality.  It is our true expression of being.  Everything that existed as “real” vanishes within the vortex of the social matrix. When we shift into this experience, we release who we were and become present to who we are.  Our vision, energy, heart, intuition and relativity evolve exponentially beyond the boundaries of our creativity, imagination, sensibility and understanding.  We are sourced by our soul, empowered by the momentum of universality.  This is the energetic flow of our transcendental shift.  Once we cross this threshold, there is no return.

From Reality to Universality

Shifting from social reality to universality is the essential progression of the new era.  Where we focus our attention (awareness) and engagement (experience) is where our energy flows (expression).  Being human is to sacrifice our personal power (empowerment), inverting universality (soul) into density (egocentricity); to impose, influence and impact our environment (artificiality) for authority (supremacy).  Our engagement in social reality is our enslavement.  Our relativity with our soul is our empowerment.  We are now in the era of transcendence.  Human being is our opportunity to transform, transcend and shift with the energy of universality.   

“Freedom from reality is becoming an expression of universality.”

An Act of Inrising

/ Iam Saums / 2 Comments

“Fist in the air, in the land of hypocrisy.”

In Protest

When we protest with aggression, it gives authoritarian entities and organizations the necessary justification to respond with violence.  Once we succumb to our hostile inclinations, we play into a totalitarian game we will never win.  Even peaceful demonstrations can be interpreted as violent by the opposition.  The spark in this fragile, social dynamic is our emotionality.  Our negative reaction to the existence of inequality and injustice is when we abandon our personal power.  It is difficult to observe this in ourselves, as our egocentricity is also activated in these circumstances.  When our biased entitlement distorts our intention, our cause is lost.

To Feign in Vain

Most of us fail to live or die by our convictions.  We may be moved enough to raise the torch of truth for fleeting moments, yet our lack of commitment makes our stand futile in the face of contemporary regimes.  Personal routines, societal diversions and everyday survival preoccupy us from manifesting the vision sparking the movement.  As we mature, our demonstrations for or against social platforms is a feigned quest to present ourselves as “woke,” in a society that has wagered its identity for amusement, consumerism, desire, intellectualism, politics, religion and science.  Ultimately, we feign our protest as an illustration of egocentricity.

“Cause blood still flows in the gutter.”

Fever Pitch

I am not a “conservative” or “liberal” person.  I do not subscribe to dualistic, social paradigms that strategically manipulate us against each other and ourselves.  My expression is empowered by transcendence.  Yet, as we race toward another controversial and simulated election season, tragedy, trauma and triviality rears its viral insanity upon all who fall victim to its vicious cycle.  All who intend to hold political positions of artificial power are as devious as the elitists who animate their puppet strings.  The media is a social weapon, waged to trigger the volatility of our emotional response, enslaving and infecting us with its madness.

Rallying Cry

Recently, we have witnessed millions gathering in the streets to personify their positions.  The 1960’s ushered in a new era of protest, exhibiting demonstrations as a method for enacting social change.  However, the initial intention was never achieved, simply because it lacked the clarity, focus, longevity and purpose necessary to fulfill its vision.  This antiquated strategy echoes in our feigned and frivolous uproar, dying like a fleeting trend instead of living as an enduring movement.  As the ebbs and flows of our protests rally our feigned and futile cries, the intended change is never fulfilled.  The louder our proclamations, the greater our egocentricity.     

“Movements come and movements go.”

Antiquated Paradigm

Whether motivated by inequality, injustice, politics, religion or otherwise, protests are engaged with obsolescence.  Taking to the streets and chanting, howling and yelling with aggression, destruction or violence is a futile strategy to enact a societal shift.  Authoritarian entities and organizations have efficaciously enhanced their methods to prevent social demonstrations.  However, protests have not evolved.  Therefore, no matter how much news, noise and unrest are made with the current trend, nothing ever changes.  Most give up.  Not to the agencies they fight, yet to their own apathy, indifference and ideology.

System of a Down

Institutional authoritarian regimes, i.e. corporations, elitists, governments, media, religions and private agencies employ elaborate agendas and strategies to proliferate inequality and injustice, all for the purpose of acquiring profit and power.  Their security system against populus uprising is equally sophisticated to protect their investment in the viral deception.  Their actions and behaviors breed the reaction of our protest.  These administrations rely upon the emotionality of our response to debase and destroy the credibility of our common stand for equality, justice and peace.  Their strategy is provoking and turning our anger, fear and insecurity against us to achieve their endgame of control.                           

“Who pulled schemes on the dream and put it to an end.”

Vortex of Causality

A protest is a reaction that occurs when social inequity intensifies beyond tolerable standards.  When observed, people congregate and motivate around a popular controversy.  Yet, the sheer nature of protesting is contrarian, thus counterproductive.  The focus of the movement is abandoned when its emotionality, ideology, inspiration and vision is wagered for the instant gratification of an egocentric orgasm.  Even when a demonstration is intended as peaceful, it is distorted and propagandized as violence by the authoritarian institutions imposing the sociopathic agendas that cause the protest.  It is a social vortex of cause and effect.

The Price of Egocentricity

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result.  In my honest observation, society is the epitome of lunacy.  Our personal interpretations exist as individual delusions in the illusion of reality.  We do not establish perceptions, we adopt psychoses.  Then, we attempt to impose these neuroses on others to conceal and defend our fear, indifference and insecurity, while we shame and condemn all who share diverse viewpoints.  We conflict with others because we are at war with ourselves.  We sentence our souls to our selective oblivion.  Our being, consciousness, evolution, relativity and truth are the price we pay for our egocentricity. 

“You better beware, the retribution with mind war.”

Evolution of Rebellion

Protesting is an external, social engagement; one we exhibit which segregates us from ourselves.  Everything we encounter in social reality is a catalyst to seize our attention, consciousness, empowerment and energy.  Our reactivity to environmental stimuli is how we acquiesce these elements of our personal power.  When we fail to be balanced, centered and present within, we misguide our awareness to where we direct our attention.  This is the vicious cycle of humanity.  The evolution of rebellion is shifting social uprising into personal inrising, transforming our existence from egocentricity to universality.

An Act of Inrising

For more than a decade, we have been in the flow of a universal, energetic shift.  When the world shut down over a virus, it was our opportunity to discover and create relativity with our soul.  We are in the Era of Transcendence, an extraordinary age when we may explore, experience and embody our universality in ways the authoritarian regimes of social reality have desperately attempted to oppress and eradicate.  Protesting is a demonstration of diversion, which syphons our awareness via our reactive emotionality.  The act of inrising is shifting our focus within to empower our consciousness, establish our equilibrium and transcend duality to become the expression of our soul.
