Realize.

Realizations;

They aren't new to the awareness...and more so, they should be likened to a view through a window, or an image reflected in a mirror.

Over time, mirrors and windows collect dust and debris; things that obscure and confuse our ability to perceive people, things and places clearly; and therefore our ability to provide an "appropriate", and even transparent response.

It is becoming more and more clear, that the individual's ability to stay true to themselves...to exercise authenticity, is the fundamental factor, driving force and manifesting power of the world outside of our windows...as well as the reflections both within and beyond our mirrors.

Our capacity to realize "who/what" being human truly is, is being viscerally retrieved from the deepest, darkest, and most discarded existences of what we communicate as "self", and of course, "I"

...for,

programmatic narcissism is failing to "upgrade" in cadence to the telluric currents of Mother Earth...(and quite frankly, the entire f*cking cosmos if we're really getting into the Ether of it).

However, the emergence of "shadow-workers", "dreamwalkers", "oracles", "healers" and keepers of codes forgotten, is a resounding affirmation that we are in times of transparency and truth that will burn indeed, if there are unhealed wounds in proximity...

Whether those wounds are mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, or, financial.

The greatest and deepest wound however, is that of dehumanization.

For, dehumanization to a human being, is in ethereal correspondence to the deforestation of Mother Earth.

(Shouldn't take rocket science to figure out that analogy) however,

The process of dehumanizing a human being is best described via the "Boiling Frog Syndrome" apologue: if a frog is put into hot water, it'll immediately jump out...

but place it in tepid water, slowly brought to a boil, the rising heat is imperceivable, and the frog will be cooked to death.

In the scenario of outdated constructs and yet rapid technological developments,

"we the people" are frogs;

and, perpetuating the "sins of our forefathers" is the slowly,

yet steadily,

rising and heating waters; (funny how that's applicable both figuratively and literally...)

Nonetheless, compassion, gratitude and empathy are the only forms of currency accepted in the Here and Now of form and matter: (Latin; 'mater'/'matrix'/'womb');

Let us remember where we come from,

In height and, in depth.
