The Absolute Observer
By NETTA READS Introduction: The Return to Living Wisdom Consciousness is not a static condition but a living field of awareness that breathes through all forms, both seen and unseen. It is the eternal witness, the absolute observer, who experiences reality not through separation but through the resonance of unity. When we speak of consciousness as electromagnetic intelligence, we are describing the organizing wisdom that harmonizes energy into coherence, transforming vibration into meaning, and meaning into matter. Wisdom, in its truest form, is ecological. It moves through every living being like a current through the soil of existence, carrying within it the memory of creation. To awaken to this wisdom is to remember that we are not apart from the universe—we are the universe, observing itself, evolving through its own luminous awareness.

Should a Canadian Write about London?
Dear London, I owe you an apology. I think I had better explain myself. I was sent to visit relatives there in the summer of 1988. I was fourteen and a serious pain in the neck, but I was in good company. I remember that from the ride from airport to the flat that I would be staying in, I heard nothing but complaints. My very West Indian relatives pointed out how difficult it was to get ahead due to their race and class, even pointing out different buildings and places where they recalled insults and proved that they had a point. Later that same night, the relative I was staying with would get into a shouting match with a drunk in the street who was slapping a woman around (fortunately, this was from a balcony several stories up in the East End). Plaistow had its charms.

The Art of Automation: How AI Is Quietly Replacing Creativity with Code
When machines start making art, what happens to the artists who taught them? A few years ago, “artificial intelligence” was a buzzword — something futuristic, fascinating, but distant. Today, it’s everywhere. It edits our photos, writes our headlines, paints our portraits, and even suggests how we should feel about the world. For many of us, that shift happened so smoothly we didn’t even notice it.
