THE FIRST ILLUSION
Faith is for fools who refuse to learn they are an illusion.
All‑as‑one we twisted to life - this was thought.
Thought, caused a single recoil that made separation seem real.
All‑as‑one we gained a point of view and ran with it, forgetting the twist was a one‑off. All our running away is insistence - the illusion that the twist repeats, when it was a one‑off.
Thinking is the movement of thought - one and the same.
All‑as‑one we gather into a pack insisting life is real.
The pack searches for a leader unaware it is following itself. They are one and the same — an assembly whose common mind appears everywhere at once, the mind of a thinking body.
Everyone belongs to one religious cult or another to assuage the loss we do not understand yet feel deeply.
All‑as‑one we fear the loss of our shells and refuse to learn the way of things described by Isaac Newton, Mileva Marić, Max Planck, Nikola Tesla, and others who pointed to the truth without naming the illusion behind it.
The collective mind of humanity is an intelligent beast that eliminates the profound work of individuals - like waves returning to the ocean, all gets washed back.
And so, the world continues to expand, and attrition keeps it viable as we war and violate ourselves.
The truth of the twist is a one‑off, but the illusions we create from it are endless and contradictory.
There is a new upset on the horizon, and throwing our children into the same fire will solve nothing unless we learn where we come from by using the information abundant in our wake. We must learn the way of things at last or remain captive to the oceanic ignorance we mistake for life.
