Waking Occasions

Allow us to start with a narrative …

Human life is a narrative. And but it isn’t one single story. It’s an open e book filled with wealthy, superb, highly effective, and typically harmful, tales. Humanity is kind of actually dwelling its personal 1001 Nights but throughout millennia. And similar to that e book of masterful storytelling, there have been unbelievable tales that crammed the minds, and hearts, of many tens of millions of individuals all through the ages. We dwell upon and inside a narrative every second of our lives. A few of these tales are larger than others – extra epic, extra highly effective, and extra influential. Others are each day tales that fill our pockets and organize our hours. But over and above our tales there has at all times been a grand narrative. It’s this grand, sweeping story that narrates, and influences, the final path by which humanity strikes.  And this grand narrative is commonly so compelling, so filled with persuasive element, that we consider in it wholeheartedly. Like a tremendous story advised to a toddler earlier than bedtime, this story then turns into woven into that night time’s dream. Upon waking, the dream feels so actual that it lingers far lengthy into the day and till it’s replenished as soon as once more earlier than bedtime. And but typically, inside particular circumstances, the dream is so charming and convincing that it causes the dreamer by no means to awaken. The dreamer continues to dream the dream that they had been advised earlier than sleeping.

Human historical past is sort of a dream inside a dream – an inversion inside an phantasm. And as many dreamers know, there are ranges inside goals. Like a Russian Matryoshka doll, there are nesting layers of tales that every one mix to create an overarching narrative physique or realm. And many individuals, like good dreamers, discover themselves caught up inside one of many layers. And it may be virtually unattainable to get out. Despite the fact that we’re technically awake, we’re additionally dreaming. Why? As a result of we live by means of specific tales and narratives which were sown, implanted, or entwined in our heads. They get into our unconscious and from that privileged place they start to affect our behaviour and considering from behind the scenes. Even after we suppose we’re awake, we’re by no means free from these tales, narratives, and constructs that handle our perceptions and create the arc of our dreaming lives. To actually be awake, an individual would want to know the best way to drop all these tales and step out of the assemble; that’s, to show ourselves the proper approach up throughout the inversion. This may occasionally even have been achieved by a number of individuals, but it has at all times been thought of one thing odd, esoteric, or mystical to take action. As a result of to the dreamers, anybody who steps out of the dream have to be some bizarre eccentric, should they not? Or that’s maybe simply how the principle story goes.

‘We’re dreaming the mistaken goals.” ~Anon

The mainstream story doesn’t like very a lot when dreamers – sorry, individuals – attempt to depart. Why would individuals wish to depart when the story is so compelling? Total, nonetheless, that is not often an issue as so few individuals ever understand that it’s all a dream inside a dream, so the difficulty rarely comes up. So, lets get again to our story?

… Issues in life aren’t as they appear… Human life is lived as a normalization of this inverted actuality assemble. That’s the reason life is full of so many irregularities, oddities, and downright insanity. Everyone knows, or instinctively really feel, that one thing has gone astray.

We now consider in something as a result of nothing seemingly has any reality to it. We’ve change into misplaced throughout the reflections of our personal mirror world. Seeing our reflections smile again at us, we’re content material with the distraction. The whole lot have to be okay, we inform our reflections – the governments wouldn’t deceive us, would they? We’re protected by benevolent authoritative constructions that take care of us like our moms. Oh expensive. Topsy-Turvey.

To allow you to in on somewhat secret… it’s been like this for a very long time. Solely that till lately, the waking dream of the Inversion was good at conserving everybody asleep (besides the uncommon few) as a result of the trickle of consciousness throughout the actuality assemble was low. However one thing has been occurring – in the event you haven’t seen? There’s been cracks within the veil; and extra consciousness has been seeping by means of. And it’s been stepping into our heads, even when we hadn’t seen. Progressively, individuals have been gaining an increasing number of consciousness over this factor they name the ‘human situation.’ There have been a number of distinctive people inside every technology that spoke about this stuff, and even wrote about them; however few individuals listened and fewer nonetheless learn any of their writings (as a result of they’d been saved illiterate). However nonetheless, the gradual seeping of consciousness into this actuality assemble continued. And the insights saved coming. Some individuals had been impressed; others gained revelations. However the numbers remained small. The Inversion continued to impose itself; to maintain the blinders on the dreamers while turning up the music. Larger distractions had been supplied; a glittering array of leisure sprang up. And incentives got to these individuals who started to open simply certainly one of their eyes. These few who suspected one thing had been noticed early on and fast-tracked up the hierarchy of the ‘individuals pyramid’ in order that they benefited most from the pleasures and good points of the Inversion. Then these increased ups would wish to spend money on conserving the system precisely the way it was – a safety of self-interests. The lots of dreamers – the sleeping mob as they had been referred to as – remained swaying to the lullaby. However slowly, the frequency of the lullaby was being modified. A brand new vibration was being added. I feel you get the gist of the place that is going.

And it arrives to right here: the place you’re sitting proper now.

So – what are you going to do about it…?
