At first, I thought I was going mad. Because everywhere I looked, I found them. But,
no one else could see them.
As I pondered how this could be, the answer was laid before me, in real time, by real events.
I watched as people -
a lot of people, including friends and family - queued to be vaccinated
without any regard as to the consequences. Because someone else told them to.
With a dawning realisation, I came to understand that I
am mad -
I see a reality unique to myself.
The mechanism of mind that allows us to
not see that which is distasteful or inconvenient, is extremely powerful.
It is the same mechanism of mind that allows us to forget that which we cannot bare to remember. The grief and pain would be too great.
We are what we are, now. We have developed - in a relatively short period of time - into a species that is increasingly ill-at-ease with itself.
It was bound to happen, in light of our past. A past that has fueled the fight to conceal that same past from ourselves.
There's a sense of irony in that observation - so strong! - which balances us against The StarCiv so perfectly, that I have to believe it's divine of nature.
We are here for
experience. Where we take that experience to
next, I do not know.
When it's my time, I'm looking forward to finding out.
But all of this is crazy talk, from a crazy old man.
When I first saw The StarCiv, I thought that I might change the world, by telling their story. But, as time went on, it became apparent that the world doesn't want to change in the way it might, if it knew of The StarCiv. It has it's own path. Belief is orders of magnitude more powerful than knowledge - and always has been.
I finally realise that this is the conundrum that has been tailored to me, for
my experience. It is the eternal conundrum of right and wrong, good and evil, yes and no and an infinite number of other opposites. It is the absolute bedrock of the binary reality in which we exist.
There is simply no simpler truth. Truth is both objective
and subjective, simultaneously.
There are always two truths.
Like attracts like - and repels unlike. Unlike repels unlike - and attracts like. Two sides of the same coin.
But I am pontificating, out loud. Self-indulgent.
For now,
bon nuit, dear reader. There is a possibility I will delete this post, later. In that case, it will exist only in your mind.
