Shutting Down or Expanding?
A lot has been moving within, and certainly a sense of greater clarity regarding our conditioned, unnatural resistance to life and to growth.
As children we are able of absorbing vast amounts of information, our senses are wide open, vibrating at a high frequency. These early years imprint us with memories that appear often to have been seen through eyes that saw more depth, colour and detail than our present self.
Did the colours fade cause we aged as function of getting old?
I doubt it. I remember how as a child the high sensitivity to my environment and people was at times absolutely overwhelming. How the inner voice just cried with frustration with a feeling that would have spelled " I CAN'T TAKE IT, REALITY IS TOO MUCH FOR ME". And with each invocation of that desperation, I could feel my organism begin to lower its vibration to accommodate some level of tolerance to cope with the things that were near unbearable. Growing up we often end up shutting down our senses to lower sensitivity, since we are lacking the tools and mental maturity to approach the overload by trying to expand our senses instead.
After all in our suffering expanding into it or increasing what appears to be overload does not seem like an option worth taking. We can not see the solutions that a voluntary facing it and observing it might offer through the simple act of expanding out of it. We just see potential for more pain if I just go with it or expand into it.
This overload of information and tendency to shut down, is why a lot of people react with cognitive dissonance and an inability to keep up their attention on a certain subject once it starts becoming too uncomfortable for them emotionally or appears threatening to their beliefs. The sudden loss of attention span, and not being able to listen coherently anymore is an autonomous result of trained conditioning by shutting down when facing problems.
Reality on the other Hand is a training ground inviting each of us to expand our senses beyond what we initially thought possible. The challenges and inconsistencies we face on our journey through life are here to expand our consciousness and its perception. If we become aware of this tendency within ourselves, we are able to recognise in moments where we begin shutting down, that we have the conscious choice to choose otherwise, instead of panicking embracing the unknown, being okay with the discomfort of looking at reality in the face and observing it with ones full attention. Reality is not asking you to make any conclusions in fact, it is asking you to drop all of your conclusion with each moment that passes out of existence, so that you may perceive more than what you had previously before. Reality wishes to undress itself for you, God is offering you a strip-tease that will last into infinity, with ever more precious layers of garment being removed, revealing ever new parts of his soul that are more precious than the previous.
Nature and Technology Accelerating the Birth
As I look at all this it began to feel like everything in our world is exactly as it should be. Nature has set the stage for a gargantuan effort into expanding our consciousness through whatever means she had available. The interconnectivity of the entire globe in our modern era is a flood of incomprehensible amounts of information. We are bombarded with input through sociological, political and financial pressures, our technologies multiply again that input by a thousand, and finally we are each left trying to multi-dimensionally manage all of these aspects in our individual lives and make sense of it all. Shutting down in this flood of tremendous input, will make you a victim and hollow you out of any freewill you possess eventually.
The only option is to face this onslaught with the audacity to dare to expand ones senses as far and wide as one can fathom and beyond. It is essential we do not tire ourselves out with all this input but learn to transcend these separate issues into a ever finer top-down perspective that sees the bigger picture. We are learning how to efficiently handle a vastness of collective input and information that has not just to do with us as an individual but we are learning to process the information of an entire collective efficiently, we are expanding our senses and our vision out of the limited self-identity with our physical vessel and egoic petty dreams, but infusing those vehicles with a vision that moves like the consciousness of an era, a god, a collective, a planet.
We are birthing the True Human among all these challenges we face today. This is a being that has transcended the confines of a limited definition into having become himself all that his senses have managed to expand into as part of himself.
The Egg of Humanity
This is the egg we are cracking through. We have been held in its hard shell of restriction for a long time, our senses focused inward and concentrated on our fragility and identifying as nothing more than just that weak embryo.
But now we have developed into the size of a chick, and if we keep focusing inward we will die, now is the time to realise how big we have become and dare to break the shell that has been our safe home for so long, to discover the unbelievable world of mystery that lays in wait on the other side.
Music is speeding up, the amount of information each individual receives is going up, internet speeding up, chaos speeding up, propaganda speeding up, control speeding up. This is the final acceleration that will force us to Crack our Shells, are you Ready? There is no going back, all the nutrients in the egg have been used up, break free or die are our options.
We are here to learn to process more and more of reality, we are here to expand deeper into our senses instead of into our mental definitions and conclusions. We are here to embrace the unknown anew with every step. We are here to expand into infinity, not here to etch its boundaries.
To the Hatching of Humanity, See you On the Outside of the Egg in the New World.
