A shift in reality

There was a shift in reality, a ripple. Spreading out in ever greater circles. Catching me up as it passed by. Changing me, instantly I was not the same.

What caused such an event? A dying star perhaps, going supernova. Or two black holes converging.

Is an event of this magnitude necessary to cause such a thing, changing realities wherever they happen. Random events on a scale that we can’t possibly wrap our heads around, Let alone understand it.

Or is it possible, for such an event to take place, we need only to imagine it? Maybe several people simultaneously thinking the same thought can cause a shift, a diversion of reality to a new future. What then would possibly happen if the world were to pause and collectively think of a better us.

This tower of Babel that is our consciousness is the problem, preventing a single collective thought to coalesce. Causing us to fail repeatedly, never allowing us to move past this present reality, into the realm of a higher evolution.

Is this by design? Are there forces at work causing us to never, ever, have a common collective thought of our relationship to nature, or each other? How do we as a race move past this control, this manipulation of our reality? Their control seems absolute.

Is it possible as an individual to break free of their control, to strike out alone and create my own reality? Ripping off their yoke and refusing to accept what it is that their trying to sell me.

I don’t accept this reality. It is not mine.
