THE FORCE OF IGNORANCE
The quantification of ignorance is the blade that defends our points of view.
All thinking is Ego—ego is a point of view—and the current force of eight billion egos acting from a single point of view is the needle in the haystack, the demon in our heads, our warrior prince.
It began when, all‑as‑one, we twisted ETERNITY into a point of view.
All the ingredients of energy were contained within that movement; life began in an instant that recoiled only to repeat the tension until its cause is reconciled.
All‑as‑one, we are the resistance that initiated the universe, and as we repeat to resolve the dilemma, we become entangled in knots of confusion, searching for escape.
The only release is to recognize the constant beginning and know we are derivative.
All at once, everything is gathering back to the original frame that reflects the current sum of thinking— all‑as‑one, we are a movie playing in time, one frame at a time.
All‑as‑one, we direct our outputs to serve our will—the will of who we think we are—the collective thought.
All‑as‑one, we are a consolidated force of ignorance, a being such as you and I, except it is the reflection of who we think we are, serving our will to not give up the ship until a better offer arrives.
And so it is: all‑as‑one, we are a force of ignorance—a false creation designed to protect us from discovering what is happening anyway.
Knowing that the world is eternally recurring requires a different set of rules for living.
By realizing what is happening anyway, even the meanest of us will jump ship.
* The universe began the moment perspective mistook itself for the whole.
And everything since then has been the effort to remember.
