You are in a desert of dunes. The day to day is between two dunes. You look up, you see sand.
There are mountains in the distance. If you never walk up to the top of the dune, you won't know that, and if you don't make it a habit, you'll quickly forget that you saw them.
Your life can be a procession of views of sand grains in between a few dunes, or it can be a deliberate migration towards the mountains.
We are not terribly far from an ascension that will completely change the human condition, make it irrelevant as to what we our ancestors were in the evolutionary past, and make it possible to choose everything about what we will be. The future is glorious, golden, and accelerating. You can work towards that, or you can choose to ignore it.

- nosuchthing 11y agoYou are on a planet flying through space. The day to day is somewhere in space. You look up, you probably see sky. There are things that will happen in the future. If you always think about living for the future instead of the present, and you don't make it a habit, you'll quickly forget that you're living in a dream. Your life can be a procession of day jobs, food, media ad infinitum ad nauseam. We're not far from all the angels, demons, cyber raptures, and myriad of dogmatic ideologies we want to believe in, if we do, and it makes it possible to choose everything about what we choose to do each day. The future is unwritten.
