Losing Illusions

‘Nothing is impossible’ has been a deeply silent mantra since acknowledging it in high school. In these days of shocking revelations in international banking, sex trafficking, politics, and religion, I changed the mantra to ‘Everything is possible.’ That premise spotlights focused inquiry on losing illusions or those projected insinuations we have believed since birth.

Out of all global disruptions in governments’ leaderships and our planet’s physical environments, collective losses of illusions can cause misery for some, and relief for others. One day, we might look back to today’s raucous, stacked up, projected insinuations to admit Earthlings had been right on schedule, all along, with our planet’s evolutionary manifestations.

A common presumption among some physicists, anthropologists, philosophers, and visionaries is humans can strategically plan a collective future, however illusory, as Planet Earth absorbs phase changes within the solar system.

For fun, I just made up four possibilities we might think in the future when recalling what had occurred in our past…

  • Our masculine-baffooned language and egos, and our illusory comfort zones held onto with white knuckles, had been part of an elegant path into new generations of human interactions we could hardly have described at the time
  • We had begun remembering humans were the brain’s eye for consciously viewing the scope of cosmic changes
  • We had embraced changes as humans being only one part of the nature of the cosmos
  • While we were losing illusions, we were supposed to lose ourselves in commercial overload and in deliberately exacerbated insinuations without compromising our natural autonomy.

Absorbed in blazes of commerce,
Awakened by instants of truth
Descending surely and loudly upon us
As whispers in falling snowflakes.

Our constant curiosity is key
to watching what’s being created.
