Waking Instances

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 residing 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 thousands and thousands of individuals all through the ages. We reside upon and inside a narrative every second of our lives. A few of these tales are better 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 all the time been a grand narrative. It’s this grand, sweeping story that narrates, and influences, the final route through which humanity strikes.  And this grand narrative is usually so compelling, so filled with persuasive element, that we imagine in it wholeheartedly. Like a tremendous story instructed to a baby earlier than bedtime, this story then turns into woven into that evening’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 fascinating and convincing that it causes the dreamer by no means to awaken. The dreamer continues to dream the dream that they have been instructed 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 desires. Like a Russian Matryoshka doll, there are nesting layers of tales that each 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 nearly unattainable to get out. Regardless that we’re technically awake, we’re additionally dreaming. Why? As a result of we live by explicit tales and narratives which have been sown, implanted, or entwined in our heads. They get into our unconscious and from that privileged place they start to affect our behaviour and pondering from behind the scenes. Even after we assume 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 really be awake, an individual would want to know tips on how to drop all these tales and step out of the assemble; that’s, to show ourselves the appropriate manner up inside the inversion. This may increasingly even have been achieved by a couple of folks, but it has all the time 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 should be some bizarre eccentric, should they not? Or that’s maybe simply how the primary story goes.

‘We’re dreaming the incorrect desires.” ~Anon

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

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

We now imagine in something as a result of nothing seemingly has any fact to it. We’ve turn out to be misplaced inside the reflections of our personal mirror world. Seeing our reflections smile again at us, we’re content material with the distraction. The whole lot should be okay, we inform our reflections – the governments wouldn’t deceive us, would they? We’re protected by benevolent authoritative buildings that look after us like our moms. Oh expensive. Topsy-Turvey.

To allow you to in on a bit secret… it’s been like this for a very long time. Solely that till lately, the waking dream of the Inversion was good at retaining everybody asleep (besides the uncommon few) as a result of the trickle of consciousness inside the actuality assemble was low. However one thing has been occurring – should you haven’t seen? There’s been cracks within the veil; and extra consciousness has been seeping by. And it’s been stepping into our heads, even when we hadn’t seen. Regularly, folks have been gaining increasingly consciousness over this factor they name the ‘human situation.’ There have been a couple of distinctive people inside every era that spoke about these items, and even wrote about them; however few folks 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 folks have 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. Higher distractions have been provided; a glittering array of leisure sprang up. And incentives got to these individuals who started to open simply considered one of their eyes. These few who suspected one thing have been noticed early on and fast-tracked up the hierarchy of the ‘folks pyramid’ in order that they benefited most from the pleasures and features of the Inversion. Then these greater ups would wish to spend money on retaining the system precisely the way it was – a safety of self-interests. The plenty of dreamers – the sleeping mob as they have been known as – remained swaying to the lullaby. However slowly, the frequency of the lullaby was being modified. A brand new vibration was being added. I believe 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…?
