From the moment of creation, one's consciousness is forever scanning the vast matrix of endless possibilities that align with their programming for experience. It all happens very quickly though it may not seem that way at this level of consciousness. Time and Reality are accelerating exponentially hence decision making must also step up leading to confusion. Many people just can't keep up. As a result there is frustration, anger, feeling out of control, and the inability for the person to function. Sadly, the reaction is negative action.
Yesterday, I had dinner with my friend Peter, who took a break from working at the senior center where locals go to vote. Peter, is in his late 60's, retired from the corporate world, and has experienced much in life. Through it all he is amazed at the insanity level that is permeating reality today. Each generation grows up assuming that the next will be smarter, accomplish more, and live in a safer world. They will learn from the mistakes of the past and be stronger for it. And yet, as we sat there talking, he said we seem to be reverting back to primitive behavior to which he sees no resolve.
I agree with Peter though not sharing my philosophy on reality as a hologram that is coming to closure. You cannot understand my perspective unless programmed to do so and once there helps makes sense of the chaos permeating our little experience. One day Peter and I may revisit this conversation, but on Election Day 2017 we agreed Mayor De Blasio would be reelected along with Democratic Governors in New Jersey and Virginia.
