Between the Lines

“All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.” – Edgar Allen Poe

Artificial Reality:
Nothing is real in reality. All the intelligence, belief and wisdom in the world will not change this truth. The human race has prided itself on how many people, circumstances and outcomes it can control and manipulate to convey its synthetic power and conceal its deepest insecurities. All that shall remain of it is the watermark of its self-righteousness, insatiable appetites, veiled malice and egocentric conquests. Generations upon generations of human beings have come and gone, born with the greatest promise and buried with the greatest failure. A defeat most will not choose to acknowledge or claim.

We are not real because we simply do not live in the present. We are the most elaborate lie ever created. We are given the extraordinary opportunity to thrive by evolving, transcending and sharing all we encounter. Yet, we are constantly seduced by our ego’s incessant agenda. Our lives are truly not about helping others. They aren’t even about helping our families or ourselves. They are about enabling an elusive network of sociopaths a very few are willing to identify, engage or oppose. The tragedy is that we don’t even know or care enough about inequality and injustice to make a difference.

The simulated life in which we participate is our security blanket. It gives us an artificial sense of comfort, safety, status and purpose. It gives us a permissible excuse and reason to never become who we are meant to be. In our hearts and souls we know our potential and ability. Yet, we lean upon our shortcomings and reservations to prevent ourselves from creating and living our destiny. Mediocrity and insecurity seals the fate of our ordinary and meaningless suffrage. No matter how we may spin our incomplete and unfulfilled lives with financial, educational or religious means, they are still a lie.

The Dark Side:
Human beings exhibit characteristics that ultimately possess them for their entire lives. Many live with these conditions never knowing or understanding their dysfunctional nature and influence. Few are willing, open or authentic enough to identify and manage them. Even fewer are willing to transform them into opportunities to serve instead of being enslaved. This elaborate matrix of personal weakness and limitation festers in the presence of human conceit, denial, doubt, cognitive dissonance, self-righteousness and fear. They are all qualities that originate exclusively from the dark side of our ego.

Our ancient, reptilian mind is constantly seeking to take advantage and control of our life. We abide within a three-dimensional existence living a two-dimensional experience. What and how we identify and adopt as reality further strengthens the hold our ego has over us. It is a lifestyle that has been imposed upon us by a system of calculated progression, manufactured results, manipulated dynamics and engineered acquiescence. We are all caught in a spider web of deception. The very nature of the reality in which we exist is simply not conducive to truth, wisdom, community and above all else love.

Eventually, we become accustomed, comfortable and compliant within the shadows of our lives. We cower in the dark waiting for a chance that will never come. When it does arrive, it is merely a mirage of opportunity and success that leaves us empty and unfulfilled. We are disassociated with ourselves and our truth, passion, love and destiny. When we are presented with opportunity, we perceive it as a fleeting dream or an exodus from the “almighty” reality. Our reliance upon the common, familiar structures of mortal life prevents any and all true evolution and expression we may ever experience.

Seeing the Unseen:
Our visible world is less than 3% of the “known” universe. Our life is severely impaired by our archaic five senses. These expressions of our existence are the compass of our experience. They can also be the greatest diversions and inhibitors of our perception. As soon as we open our eyes, the alluring authority of visual reality compromises the balance between our senses. Our fascination and reliance upon sight instantly shifts our focus and awareness from a multi-dimensional possibility to a two-dimensional sentence. Our “blind” acceptance of reality confines us within our own invisible prison.

Sight is the most manipulated sense in our common reality. We are profoundly dependent upon what we see. We choose to believe more effortlessly and absolutely in what is visible than what is felt or intuited. It deceives us with our own apathy, criticism, denial, selfishness and opposition. All that we yearn to achieve in our lives is surrendered when we don’t choose to create or experience our lives to their fullest potential. The greatest weakness the human race believes to be its greatest strength is its mutual acceptance that life is measured by what we receive, not what we give.

There is only one way to truly experience the unseen dimensions of the universe. It requires a synergy between our instincts and our intelligence. This opens the gateway of our enlightened emotional consciousness. The balance between our body, mind and heart creates the three-dimensional equilibrium necessary to generate the appropriate focus, energy and expression to relate with our intuition. Our intuition is the “lightening” bolt that connects us with our soul. Only when we have attained this four dimensional, electromagnetic nexus within are we able to live in union with the universe.

All That Is True:
The truth of the human race never has, is or will ever be found upon the printed line. Because of its inclinations toward control and manipulation, humanity continues to exist within the darkness of its own conditioned intelligence, devoted compliance and unbridled insecurity. The human race is more willing to relinquish its personal power to authority than stand for and in its own. Personal power has become an endangered human expression. The daunting fear of responsibility that seemingly accompanies its ownership has not just made it nearly unattainable; it has rendered it non-existent.

Our perception of life and how we experience it is not our own. We are victims of an artificially imposed, media-driven deception. More often than not, our point of view is adopted instead of earned. Not just because we would choose to see it erroneously out of our apprehension for what “may” be true. It is mostly because we live in a false world, governed by false people with false intentions to gain false supremacy for false means. When we choose to establish and live our truth, it is a lonely, challenging and unfulfilling experience that yields very little “true” enlightenment in the “real” world.

Our lives are lived primarily upon the lines of a story we accept as the standard reality. The majority of humanity reads and emulates their role with patriotic obligation and obedience. Freedom will never be found in becoming a pawn upon the chessboard of society. It is claimed in our dedication to truly live, love and be. We must break our program and transcend the illusion in which we are all cast. Only when we read between the lines of reality will our truth be found. Only then will we be able to write our own lives. Only then will we be able to create the truth we are destined to be.

Ghost Story

“We are the ghost in the machine.”

Something Wicked This Way Comes…

Society is a dark world in which billions of human beings fall prey to their own shadows.  Our collective fear has become so encompassing, we have anesthetized ourselves with our anxiety, conditions, drama, oblivion and uncertainty.  Our interpretation of reality is so confronting, intense and threatening, we enact a self-induced slumber, within which we simply survive.  In our illusory lives, we are haunted with the nightmare of what is and the dream of what may have been.  It is excruciating for us to accept, identify or even be with the insidiously wicked nature of the virtuality in which we engage.

The Nightmare of a Dream

Our nightmares are filled with the horrors of our broken commitments, destiny, potential and purpose.  These are the only virtues that allow us to create a thriving life for ourselves and our families.  Our experiences are littered with the shards of our unfulfilled dreams to manifest a better tomorrow for ourselves and future generations.  Our actions, intentions and visions have been thwarted by a globalized and propagandized vortex of social media.  A matrix proliferated for the sole intention of enabling our assimilation, deception, dependence, disempowerment, oppression and enslavement.

The Darkness Without

It lurks within the shadows, just beyond our hyperactive sensibilities, taunting us with the mere possibility of its arrival and impact.  The impending doom of its presence and the suspense of its approach preys upon our nerves as an archaic violin down a darkened alley.  The gravity of its dread imposes a trepidation, provoking us to run for our lives.  Our hearts race, as the intensity of our fear heightens to a fever pitch.  It renders us paralyzed within the agonizing buzz of our endorphins, in compensation for our waning confidence, courage, reason and strength.

The Darkness Within

Evil is not what, or how it is so commonly interpreted in our contemporary era.  It is not an ageless, ancient entity that defiles, haunts, hunts or stalks us.  It is not a presence that eternally defies and opposes our every endeavor and intention.  Evil is a subjective figment of our darkest conjuring.  We give our power over to our own shadows when we allow our perceptions to become more powerful than our vision.  The nature of our personal observation most often is erroneous and does not serve our optimal benefit.  We side with our selective narrative, much as we may cling to our dying breath.

A Knife to the Throat

We grow accustomed to the insanity around us, attempting to deceive ourselves into denying that what occurs in social reality is not a part of us, or even beneath us.  We conform, desensitize and integrate ourselves into the virtual role the societal matrix provides.  We adopt a conviction that success and survival will be found in competing with others to become something we were never destined.  Eventually, we succumb to authority, institutionalization and propaganda.  We are pushed and pulled from one circumstance to another, until we are assimilated into the persona we have always feared.

Shadow of a Demon

As smart rats, we are so clever with our existence.  We devise personal rackets, to which we are unaware and by which we are ruled.  We invent our own demons to avoid our soul expressions of our authenticity, integrity, purpose and transcendence.  This justifies and sanctions our cruelty, destruction, errancy and inhumanity.  We desperately seek to distance ourselves from the monsters we become in our selfish quest to advance and survive in an artificial and violent society.  The greatest darkness we will ever encounter is not the one that shadows us from without.  It is the evil we enable within.

“All left unseen and untended is what enslaves us with our very own fear.”

Creature Feature

We indoctrinate ourselves with instinct and intellect for conformity into society.  This pales in comparison to the cunning prowess of our egocentricity and its insatiable desire for dominance over our soul.  Conflict rages within us all, a timeless battle between the transcendent expressions of our heart and soul and the terrestrial professions of our mind and body.  We are conditioned into creatures of habit, existing in vicious cycles of emulation.  Our predatory ancestry enslaves us within a virtual duality, diminishing our instincts, thoughts, emotions, intuition and relativity.

The Walking Dead

We view our existence through selectively interpretive filters, fabricating our lives and performing our fantasies within the virtuality of our social reality.  We enact our apathy, fear, indifference and unwillingness to evade our destiny.  We believe we cannot survive under the gravity of our accountability, authenticity and integrity to embody our possibility, purpose and power.  We allow ourselves to become a projection of the social norm, bred for accumulation, amusement, diversion, narrative and oblivion.  We become the antithesis of life, condemned to exist en masse with the walking dead.

Ghosts of our Lives

We rarely live as cause in our lives.  We settle on surviving the outcomes of our seemingly random circumstances via our reactivity to ordinary occurrence.  As we become habituated to a coincidental lifestyle, we engage deeper into a dualistic existence within the three-dimensional hologram-projection we interpret as reality.  With every unconscious breath, we acquiesce our forsaken, personal power.  Our obedience to authoritarian entities and organizations is our evasion, excusing us from the choices we all must make.  We sever our relativity with our heart and soul, as we become ghosts of our lives.

Egocentric Evil

The perceptions we adopt and impose in our desperation to be accepted and adopted into a virtual simulation segregates us from relativity with our soul.  We are driven to seek our worth in others, instead of establishing our own through our being, expression, and universality.  We have existed outside of ourselves for so long, we mistake our delusion, ideology, narrative and propaganda as truth.  We are mere shadows of our younger selves, who once inspired and empowered us. We are seduced by the egocentric evils of our desire, entitlement, fear, intelligence, self-righteousness and vanity.

Ghost Story

We are all ghosts in our lives.  We haunt the empty halls of our oblivion in a futile attempt to find a forbidden treasure that has always been within us.  We live a ghost story when we conduct our consciousness away from being an expression of our soul.  It is our universal destiny to transform, transcend, express and embody universality.  We are an expression of empowerment, transformation and transcendence.  It is our collective destiny to be the extraordinary difference in our life, for others and the world.  The universal expression of our being is the embodiment of our soul.

“Our unfulfilled destiny is our ghost story.”

Light in the Clouds

Culture of Confusion:

A global perplexity has distorted the essence of humanity’s awareness.  Its influence and impact is experienced in widespread dissonant energetic frequencies.  Generations of human beings have unconsciously cultivated an archaic, suppressive and contrary history of existence.  Confusion is used as a shield of defense against personal authenticity, accountability and understanding.  We embellish and gratify ourselves with social customs to flex our false power.  We have invented clever ways to avoid, discourage and discredit all that contests our true sensibility, possibility and purpose.

All of us adopt, emulate and project our personal confusion.  We have grown so accustomed to it that it becomes our nature, and ultimately our weapon and downfall.  Our confusion clouds our vision, perception and comprehension.  It blinds us to our truth, love and destiny.  Our focus is distorted by the contemporary enchantments of “real” life.  A myriad of distraction is designed and exists to further divert our attention toward the entitlement of our amusement.  We willingly sacrifice our personal intention and talent to conform and assimilate with society.  We hide our power for fear of claiming it.

Popular Vertigo:

It is a nameless and faceless dis-ease that has always been a human epidemic.  We learn to inherit the security blanket of our confusion to justify our excuses, indifferences, failures and fears.  It produces barriers in our personal intelligence, understanding, intent and the manifestation of our purpose.  We plague ourselves with our own cognitive dissonance from which we so desperately yearn to escape and transcend.  The lethal concoction of our apathy, disinterest, envy and self-righteousness breeds our confusion.  The source of our greatest struggles is not found from without.  We enable it within.

Our condition of confusion grows in dimension, influence and complexity.  It becomes a perception we assume that eventually alters our reason, veracity and ideology.  Our focal point is dismantled and consumed by the vortex of existence we interpret as reality.  We turn our backs on the truth of our selves so that we may invent virtual relationships with superficial people in an artificial world.  We survive calculated circumstances, which yield simulated comforts and conveniences.  This racket we run on ourselves harvests aimless ambitions and unfulfilled lives.  In essence, we die more and more, everyday.

Inherited Uncertainty: 

Confusion is not our natural state of being.  Yet it is a daily routine to which we all subscribe.  It seems much easier to immerse our selves within our perplexity rather than claim and embrace the power of our choice, expression, truth and love.  We have been programmed into a habitual state of subconscious anxiety.  In the midst of our daily occurrences, we are perpetually exposed to a myriad of toxic stimuli that distorts our perception and experience.  Our apprehension and indecisiveness predominantly causes our entitlement, expectations, unhealthy relations and egocentric desires.

We become accustomed to living our lives between what was and what may be, rarely in the present moment.  We are conditioned daily to be afraid of our opportunities, choices, abilities, lifestyle and even love.  Our first impulse is to discredit our inspiration to express ourselves as we truly can be.  Our second instinct is to dismiss and ridicule others when their opportunity for empowerment may transpire.  The third inclination is to bury our brief encounters with our destiny and enable an ordinary life to which we are held captive by our own fear.  This formula holds us in a continual state of uncertainty.

Era of Epiphany:

We are living in an extraordinary era of insight and possibility.  A great deal of awareness and wisdom is more readily available than has ever been in the history of humanity.  There is a universal flow of energy rushing into the three dimensional reality dismantling our two dimensional captivity.  Our greatest barriers to fourth dimensional information, comprehension and consciousness were once a handful of arrogantly elitist, ridiculously wealthy and manipulative few.  Now, we are the only ones who can suppress or prohibit the expansion of our focus, talent and intention.

Our personalities, behaviors, fears and lives are being presented to us in illuminating HD clarity.  Everything about ourselves that we have enabled to restrict us from discovering and achieving our passion and purpose is emerging for us to release.  It simply requires us to choose, practice and become who we need to be for ourselves and others.  When we are living in the rhythm of epiphany, service and humility, we embrace all the truth, light and love that are eternally available to us.  This creates the opportunity for us to emanate the energy of creativity, insight and empowerment.

Moment of Clarity:

The confusion we allow and enable in our lives is our greatest obstacle.  It is the source of our worries, challenges, failures, divisions and fears.  We aren’t even present to most of the confusion we experience.  It is what we don’t know we don’t know about ourselves and our lives that confounds us.  The only time we are remotely aware of it is when we are confronted by adversity.  It is a conscious choice to observe what none of us really wants to see about ourselves.  We are able to transform our confusion into clarity when we embrace the truth that we alone hold ourselves back from truly living life.

Our personal power can only be claimed and expressed upon a foundation of authenticity and integrity.  This is the sacred design of universal being.  The achievement of our enlightenment is an eternal dance.  It is ever flowing toward and receding from us.  It simply begins with a choice.  One to which many of us may be either unaware or unwilling.  The acquisition of our consciousness and its inclusion into our daily lives is vital in the revelation, expansion and expression of our being.  It is the lucidity of our vision, choice, purpose and lifestyle that fulfills our truest destiny.

The Heart of It All:

It has been said that our energy flows where our attention goes.  Most of us are primarily unconscious of this truth.  The nature of our focus defines the reality in which we exist.  Our intent is our compass and our action is the manifestation of our true choice.  We either choose the abundant energy that is our birth rite, or we defer it to our external reality and become captive to an artificial existence.  The soul distinction that is harvested from our experience of life is our choice to embrace and share the greatest expression of our being.  This is all for which we are truly destined.

Sphere of Being

The Forest for the Trees
We are multi-dimensional beings existing within a three-dimensional reality and living a two-dimensional lifestyle. As metaphysical as this may seem, it is the common dynamic in which we live. We often fail to appreciate, observe or understand the extraordinary opportunity it is to be our fullest potential as an energetic being in a human experience. Instead, we are programmed from birth to tow the line of our human enslavement all for the sake of artificial belonging, meaning and purpose. We have been conditioned to sacrifice our personal power to enable a pandemic existence.

Common Ground
Society is engineered to emphasize the instinctual and intellectual aspects of our being. The more we grow accustomed to this reality, the more we become inevitable pawns upon the chessboard of mortal experience. Long before we are aware of it, the social order fits us with our proverbial chains for a customary earthbound captivity. We choose; or rather don’t choose to reveal the stigmatism of our imprisonment because we aren’t present to the dynamics of its institution. Our liberty from this captivity is not something that is given. It is something we must claim for ourselves.

The Sum of our Soul
Each of us possesses an expansive and powerful essence that extends far beyond the boundaries of our human experience. It is the expression of our multi-dimensionality that connects and relates us to all we are before we are born into the mirage of mortality. Mere words cannot describe the emanation of our being in relation to its purest nature. The notion of how we may perceive it instantly diminishes its true potentiality. It is with our conscious breath, creative expression, intuition and ontology that we experience the transcendence with which we associate enlightenment.

Human Being
Our body is the densest element of our being and represents our instincts and our sensory and material experiences. Our mind produces our thoughts, ideas, communications and strategies to envision our elected lifestyle. Our heart is the third dimension of our being and is diverse from our standard rituals of living. It is the doorway to our multi-dimensionality. Its emotional emanation resonates on frequencies beyond our sensory awareness. Our heart is the center of our being. It is a powerful conductor of electromagnetic energy that communes with our intuition to relate with our soul.

Heart Consciousness
Our intuition is the lightning rod of our being. It is the multi-dimensional medium through which our body, mind and heart interact with our essence. Our instinct, intellect and spirit are all connected by our emotional center. It is a multi-faceted expression of our being. There are many different dimensions of experience that transpire within our heart’s energetic field. From our chaotic and distorted projections of anger, hate, envy and fear that destroy our life force, to the harmonic and transcendent expressions of affinity, community, peace and love that sustain it.

Fourth Dimensional
When our emotional center is emanating and resonating with our instinct, intellect and spirit, a powerful and versatile energetic containment sources our fourth dimensional consciousness. Our vision of the world, how we perceive, interact and live, and what we choose to express and manifest within it expands the boundaries of our conventional existence. We transcend the linear illusion of time and space. Our two dimensional experience within the three dimensional reality is transformed. This is the essential dynamics of enlightened human being.

Spherical Domain
This alchemy creates a critical mass of energy that expands within the periphery of our experience. Our sphere of being is an often-undiscovered and untapped frontier. It is the convergence of our creativity, energy, light and love. Our authenticity, inspiration, influence, potential, purpose and truth all emanate from our sphere of being. It is the domain of endless possibility that sources our multi-dimensional experience. Our intuition is our bond between eternity and physicality. It conducts universal energy into a diverse array of frequencies that compose our perception and manifestation of reality.

Global Being
Imagine there is an energetic globe that surrounds, protects and sustains each one of us. This is the containment field without which none of us would exist. Imagine also within this globe are energy frequencies that personify the unique expression of our creativity, consciousness, love, purpose and truth. The measure and quality of this energy is defined by our authenticity, choice, integrity, intention and willingness. Whoever we are being and whatever we are doing and bringing into our lives ultimately alters, influences and determines the nature of our sphere.

The Real Real
As human beings, we live a finite existence. Most of us are dependent upon our body and mind. We rarely endeavor or are encouraged to explore and express the forsaken dynamics of our heart and soul. Our intuitions are disrupted and distorted compromising our multi-dimensionality. The energy within our sphere becomes dense and immutable. We are ensnared within our own toxicity, cast within a vicious cycle of thought, behavior, action and reaction. Our sphere of being eventually diminishes and contracts to become an energetic prison when we starve it with the illusion of reality.

Beyond Borders
We are connected to our sphere of being physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This experience of life cultivates our potential to exist beyond the boundaries of our body, mind and heart. Our intuition is the pathway to our spirit, yet it is also the gateway to all that is beyond our sphere of being. We are related with everything in the universe through a multi-dimensional synergy. This connection with all unites us on a cellular level physically, neural level mentally, electromagnetic level emotionally and an energetic level spiritually.

Convergence
All of the elements of our being resonate and are unified within the universal flow of energy. Each one relates with another through a tapestry of convergent frequencies. Their signatures receive and share multi-dimensional energetic waveform information. Our beings are ever evolving, progressing and transforming through an eternal metamorphosis of creation. We are the microcosm of the macrocosm within which we relate with and realize each other. All that is present in our external world must first transpire within. Our experience is a manifestation of the frequencies we convey.

All That We Are
The expression of energy we become when we are born is sourced from beyond the domains of our senses, understanding, reality and experience. We are not the sum of our instinct, intelligence, emotion, spirit, intuition or even sphere of being. We are a universal expression of energy distinct from comprehension, perception and imagination. The greatest element of our existence is all that is unseen, unheard, unfelt and unknown. The essence of our energy is in our choice, intent and willingness to release all we think, perceive or believe ourselves to be so we may become all that we truly are.

By Design

“Nothing is ever as it seems.”

Soul Sacrifice:

Life as we live it is an elaborate illusion devised by the few for the devout acquiescence of the many.  Most, if not all of us, don’t want to truly live.  We just act like we do.  We exist in a vacuum of being, conditioned to fear life as much or more than death.  The synthetic comfort of the common median separates us from the power of our choice, focus, purpose and destiny.  We allow “life” to tear our heart out of our chest while our spirit languishes in the purgatory of our reluctance and the custody of our self-righteousness.  We wager our present moments for the promise of our future to escape the torment of our past.

Smoke and Mirrors:

Nothing we experience in the three dimensional domain is real.  The authoritarian imposition of reality we are programed to accept and adopt or our staunch belief in it does not make it genuine.  It is a contemporary fairy tale controlled and manipulated to amuse, bewilder, distract, distort, entertain, and ultimately imprison us.  It is a colossal, elegant complex network of stimuli strategically timed and articulated to evoke emotional, mental and instinctual reactions.  We measure our lives not by our actions, creations or intentions, yet by our responses to totalitarian motivations in the global laboratory of society.

On Purpose:

There never were, are or ever will be accidents in reality.  Only circumstances and occurrences that string us along enough to ensure our engagement, investment and participation.  Where once we sustained social pandemonium with our attention, intelligence and money, now we intravenously enable it with our emotion, energy and soul.  We are desperately and hopelessly addicted to the casual rush of our inherently unique drama, lifestyle, opinion, perception and significance.  This is the formula that keeps us attached, engrossed and obsessed with the perpetual illusion of ordinary life.

The Human Schism:

Our learned fanaticism with all people and things shiny and bright has become a common psychosis of devotion and vicarious existence.  We are mere shadows of the human beings we were destined to be.  Before we have the opportunity to identify, develop and experience our personal power and purpose, it is slowly siphoned away from us by a myriad of energetic, social, institutional and professional entities.  Our lives were taken from us long before they even began, replaced with the American Dream of “someday, some one, someplace, somehow…”  It is a fantasy that isolates us from everything from the universe to ourselves.

Spinning Wheel:

All that we sense in the three dimensional reality is an inversion of perception.  Common sense, reason, belief, history, intelligence and meaning in society has been exploited and transposed into a deception of experience.  Reality has been spun and projected millions of times and ways over the course of human existence.  It is as mutable as public opinion, yet always intended for one sole purpose.  To blind the human race from its oblivious enablement and involvement in a relentlessly secret and insidious agenda.  For multi-national corporate, executive and financial organizations to accomplish a silent global takeover in the name of elitist conquest.

All the World’s a….

Our involvement in society is a performance.  When we are young, we are graded by a system of standardized examinations.  It is not to determine our potential from our intelligence and proficiency, but to prepare us for a lifetime of servitude.  We are institutionalized to be left-brain dominant drones to best serve the mental matrix. (Please see my article “The Heart of It All.”)  As we mature, our grading system is measured in monetary and status criteria as well as our rate of conformity.  We are a puppet upon the stage of reality.  We perform our part on the bottom of the pyramid never realizing if we walked away, the system of enslavement would fall.

The Grand Illusion:

Reality is not life and life is not reality.  These are two very distinct experiences.  Yet, they have been collapsed into one for the purpose of generating a more convenient and lucrative mainframe of human existence for the handful of organizations by whom it is controlled.  Everything in our experience of reality is altered and manipulated to further the agenda of the few at the cost of the many.  The world we see and accept as real is the dark side of the proverbial mirror of life.  It is not the truth that has become the greatest threat to humanity, it is reality.

Business as Usual:

Reality is a 24-hour business.  It is always open and selling illusion at a tantalizing price most can’t afford.  Reality is not bought and sold by us.  We become indebted to it with our apathy, compliance, indifference and resignation.  We willingly hand over our creativity, intention, love, passion, personal power and trust multiple times a day every day of our lives.  This is our true currency we exchange for artificial belonging, comfort, meaning and security.  Human reality is enabled with the investment of our attention, energy, fear and obedience.  The business of reality is to charm us with an illusion of life to restrict us from our truth.

Remote Control:

Every aspect of reality is controlled and manipulated.  Our air, water and food are riddled with chemicals to contaminate us and suppress our consciousness.  News networks use fear as a weapon to modify public perception.  Social media and the sports and entertainment industries are designed to distract us from and desensitize us to the atrocities, inequalities and tragedies their sponsors commit every day in their quest for profit.  Weather patterns are engineered to produce massive storms with an alarming frequency of devastation.  Scientists are now discovering that reality is a holographic projection from a distant, unknown origin in the universe.

The Architects:

There has always been a veiled network of elitist individuals whom have held sovereignty over the world for centuries.  They have hindered the progression of the automotive, energy, health, medical and technological industries all for the sake of reaping high yields from low investments for global domination.  They invented and manipulate the financial marketplace to ensnare their consumers into the slavery of debt.  Yet their most devious practice is preying upon human emotion and thought with fear using the media, politics, sports, religion and war to enslave the human race into two-dimensional reality.

Hacking the Ego:

Human control begins and ends in the complexity of the ego.  Our programming in this world is inevitable.  It is only a question of the degree of our indoctrination.  All of us have lived through years of imposed, intense conditioning.  As human doings we are defined by the boundaries, circumstances, environments, ethics, laws and standards set by the authoritarian organizations our egos enable.  Our false personality receives and sends distorted energetic frequencies to disrupt our intuitive and emotional potential.  We are first slaves to our own design well before we become victims to the villains of the world.

Courting Consciousness:

The acceptance and application of our consciousness is critical to the transformation of our present experience.  There is no place for apathy, cynicism, deception, fear, greed and self-righteousness in our enlightenment.  We either allow ourselves to be crippled by the iniquities of our human design or we choose to transcend them and express our true power.  It is up to each and every one of us to become the manifestation of our truth, love, purpose and destiny.  We are the emanation of all creation.  We are the personification of all possibility.  Each one of us is the only solution we will ever need.

“I never knew who I could become until I freed myself from who I am.”
