The longer I live, the shorter my attention span becomes.
It now takes a lot for me to be drawn to engage. The conversation is the key: how big, how far and how deep can it go? At this time in my own evolution, the desire to continue to evolve and become is greater than it has ever been. As more and more, science challenges our long-held thinking on who and what we are – as human beings – and the nature of what we call ‘reality’, my tethers to matter become more tenuous…. thinning and losing their hold on my own imagination and new ways of considering my Life, my ‘reality’ and the world of my own choosing.
The longer I live to explore and discover beyond those things held as ‘fact’ and ‘truth’ by the vast majority of the population of our species, the less interested I am in all that such ‘fact’ and ‘truth’ offer to me, that I might invest mySelf in claiming as my own. You can well imagine that when habit and history lose their grip on the creation of my future, little of that which is already known surfaces with the potential for provocation to a larger expression of my Self.
The deeper the dive, the greater the pressure to bear and the more life-threatening the conditions may become. As such, the greater the likelihood that the ‘pack’ will thin… and more sparse and less congested will be the place in which we might find ourselves. For some, it feels life-threatening to say ‘no’ to what history and habit have long dictated as a way of life. For many, there is safety in the pack-mind and knowing that at least in some way – if not necessarily any optimal way – pack-mind does allow for predictability. Perhaps the dictum that predictability equals safety has long been an illusion to which we cling, in hopes of a better tomorrow. The problem is that we don’t live in tomorrow, we live in the ‘now’ of the moment we’re in. It is in that moment – and only that moment – that anything of any value can take place. Short is the time remaining to us to wake up and smell the coffee of a new potential to be claimed.
Truth is now the servant of the preferred agenda and its narrative. The intention is that saying it often enough, long enough and loud enough makes it so.
People do not believe something because it is true. They believe it because it serves them to do so.
