Breakdown or Breakthrough?
I appreciated Amandha Vollmer's post:
Internet Fatigue, Hyper Reality and Narrative Collapse

And I wrote into the themes I recognise within such experience of breakdown/breakthrough.
The mind-trap that operates a self & world set in image (or representations of symbols & concepts set in our own image) is revealing itself - not least by its 'tipping point' to meaninglessness or joylessness. That the mind uses loss of Soul-connection as a basis for manipulative redistribution of psychic energy can replace an unfolding of living potential with a self-cannibalising game of pass the blame-parcel running musical chairs against time running out.
Time does wind up or run out when the mind is unable to buy time against eternity (ie: Always). Why? Because the game has to be worth the candle. But when the game is played to mask over or hide the light, its defences operate survival against the light - living in fear of exposure or feared disclosure. Is that not an alien agenda?
Living the unfolding of potentials embraces a gratitude and release of a past as well as being informed or shaped by our future. But a problem driven (guilted) sense of self-lack stamps its presentation into a future-scape of masking denials and dissociating solutions - a death mask of 'control' that drives on fear to unconsciousness as freedom from conflict.
However we may envision or articulate our times, the themes acting out are not merely archetypal unfolding of inner conflicts to cyclic mutative repetitions but to an awareness of re-cognition or remembership of a whole.
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men can never put fragmented dissociation together again - but the recognition of failure as an inherent futility allows the release of the a-tempt to fix ourselves within an assumption of self-autonomy in place of creative extension.
To be 'made in the image of God' can be rendered falsely by projection onto God of our own mythic or narrative identifictions.
Rather than speak into that, let not knowing or release of assumed knowing, open an acceptance through which to be 'spoken' out of wholeness. The uncarved block as the foundation stone is also the recognition of other as self - yet uniquely themself or itself - here is the gift of renewal.
But also here is where we meet our 'resistance' in patterns of judgemental, reactive defences or hates. No one can release what they are actively disowning - and certainly not by denying or attacking it in the other.
Against all of the 'soul-crushing' experience of our journey into Separation-conflict is a still small voice of a quality of knowing that is holy or wholly without judgement. The intuitive discernment of which is the freedom of release from 'knowledge of good and evil' to an appreciation of truth.
Replacements or substitution for living qualities of shared being find welcome in socially reinforced masking presentation., that then take on the nature of automatons or self-driven programming.
A.I or machine-think is a tool, but the tool is always the extension of the hand, heart and purpose of its maker - however ingeniously masked or outsourced to external operators.
Knowing joy in purpose is a qualitative signature for willingness through which the 'Sprit moves over the waters'. There's never anywhere to start from but where we are, but we can set our starting point in a denied or broken past or an idealised set of future conditions - so as to delay, defer and procrastinate in ways to set pain of loss of wholeness into processes of masking evasions. No blame. The only need for seeing error is to yield or release it to correction.
Fixation on evils as fascinated addiction to 'conflict-dynamics' is a spell or curse given & received in place of a blessing. Am I out of my mind!?
If I think I have to 'do' love's blessing I take the bait of a-tempt to love (in) my own image.
In that sense narcissism is systemic, internalised and invisible but in those who are less able or willing to conceal or mask a means to 'get' energy from others by 'caring' set in ritually coded credits. No blame in a mistake from which to learn a better way to be. So living our consequences is not punishment but a path of reintegration.
The habit of a misalignment or mis-taken identity fades within the growing willingness to be aligned in
