We are all connected

The numbers don't lie. Listening to Radiohead's A Moon Shaped Pool like usual. My ritual when contemplating existence and writing it down. Before I forget; I think it's important to record our existence here on this plane (plain?). By sharing our experiences we have a more complete picture of human consciousness to learn from. One thing I regret not receiving as a child (how you can regret something you have no control over is beyond me) was a more complete map of the truth about life. Growing up in this world can be difficult, and not receiving mentorship on the greater questions about life, love, and all the rest really upset me. I swore that once I was older and had children I would ensure that I did it right. I would give them the answers I had been lacking. I have been saying for a long time now that I want to categorize the world into universal truths with empirical evidence that I can share with others. Truth is the ultimate concept for me. We should all strive to be more open and truthful. Fear often wins out, but once we come to an understanding that we all make mistakes (some worse than others) can we come to terms with ourselves that it is ok for others to make mistakes as well, leaving behind blame and anger, and starting from compassion and rehabilitation. As we become more evolved, realizing that all interactions and decisions are chemical processes and data that can be manipulated for alternative results can we begin to create our ideal universe.

A large part of becoming an adult is learning to interpret and express our feelings.

Our inability to catalog our entire encyclopedia of experiences is our largest debilitating factor toward ultimate truth. My ability to read or experience something and recall it later with perfect accuracy determines how close to the truth I really am. If there is a flaw in my memory, the ultimate truth becomes distorted or even corrupted and can no longer be trusted with utmost certainty. This corrupt memory can then become influenced and even more corrupted over time until we create a parallel universe of facts that have no baring on the laws of our dimension. The Mandela Effect is a prime example of this human flaw. When a large subset of a population is influenced by corrupt memory, an alternative reality is created. This can go from an innocent example of a book title being misspelled to the farther extreme of holocaust denial. When a large group believes in a dubious untruth, dangerous things begin to happen. Humans collectively make decisions not based on facts, but emotion. And emotions can be manipulated. However, I think this is the death knell of untruth and "alternative facts". One last dying breath and lies and corruption. It may not be in this decade but sometime in the not too distant future (if things continue to progress the way they have) we may all be sharing not just what we had for lunch but also our every neural synapse. Once logged into the brain mainframe, we can live each others lives in a milisecond. Empathy will no longer be an option but an unavoidable experience. Understanding the struggles, triumphs and thought patterns that lead individuals down certain paths to their ultimate demise will usher in a golden age of collective empathy and consciousness towards universal equality.

Having to write isn't a requirement, it's a choice and a passion. Don't feel obligated to write anything, just be there to record in case a thought does apparate. The want to write everything down is not contingent on the need. Taking the process one day at a time is the first step in building healthy habits. Do it for you.
