Pondering Ambivalence: a look into the light
a think piece provoked by a flickering Xbox controller and the state of human consciousness .

A remote light blinking , hovering between light and darkness: Do you reach over and turn it on ? Or watch it blink out of sheer morbid curiosity of how the events will play out without divine intervention ? Do you take action and make the outcome you want ? Or sit back and watch how things play out , hoping for them to go in your favor ? While you do not know the outcome of the latter , it is more convenient and comfortable to wait and watch just out of the veritable possibility of success . However large the possibility for positivity , this nasty fascination with ambivalence also has a chance for ruination . There is no guarantee you'll make it out satisfied on the other side , so how are we so comfortable with the idea of failing that we just toss a coin , sit back , and wait for it to fall ? We have grown so accustomed to our watching and waiting , that we fail to realize when we can create the outcome we want virtually instantaneously by reaching out and putting in a little effort . In examining this simple , seemingly insignificant event , we are mindful of the universe's teachings in even the smallest of happenings .
Proactivity is the lesson to be learned from such a simple everyday occurrence . But how can a simple coincidence teach one so much about the life they may choose to lead ? In that same breath , who's to say it is a coincidence at all ? Whose to say coincidences even exist ?
They feed us this theory of coincidence to damper our innate connection to the divine . They know that nothing in this lifetime is mere coincidence , but they desire to control , so they feed the uninformed masses these dust covered terminologies so they may turn a blind eye to their existence of a third one . We all have a perception that is not showcased in our physicality . This unseen eye within us all sees far more than the pair this earthly body allots us , however we deny its existence because we are told it is fantasy . We are told that which is intangible is therefore not factual . However , the bounds of that earthly shackle is as farfetched sounding as the existence of our spiritual eye and easily refutable to boot . I challenge this statement merely w the ideas of ideas . The train of thought is not a tangible object set in the molds of physicality . It is something that is intangible to the touch , yet we know they exist simply because we say they do . Why is that same recognized universal truth not applied to all things in the spiritual realm ? It is something intangible to the touch , an object ungraspable by our naked earthly eyes , but it is because it is not meant for us to touch . They are meant to touch us- our souls , our spirits- and deliver them to a higher calling bringing them to their highest form . They are a manifestation of the ultimate good , and we are too bounded and corrupt to be able to walk among them in the form that we have currently taken . Our third eye is so covered and filled with the soot of our perceived reality that we have been unable to open up and truly see them in their ultimate form , to see them within ourselves . We are a descendent of the ultimate good with a pension for the dissension into chaos . Once we realize that our lives are truly not our own until we make them , we will never go without- Instead , returning to our bountiful place as dissensions of the highest power . We think that things based outside of our own physical reality is wrong simply because it challenges what we've experienced , but if we let go of what we think we know and expand our minds through the perceptions of others , we would notice that each individuals reality is really only a subsection of the real reality: our collective reality . We've been forced into such a singular , individualistic minded headspace for so long that we forgot that we all are pierced by the same common thread . All living our lives for the same purpose , however the end goal may look . This world could look so much different if we threw off the convenient cover of comfortable darkness in favor of the blinding effervescent light that awaits us all .
