The spirituality we come onto this planet with is not complex. As we age and start piling on things in our environment, the spirituality gets pushed back, buried. Then we acquire desire for more, especially luxury stuff. This tells us we are doing good, being good. We no longer experience anything spiritual, as it sits on the bottom of the landfill of "life". At some point many of us realize we have lost something or need something. We don't even know what it is because it has been so long since we have been touched by the primal energy. We don't know where it is or how to find it. We are now at the point where everything we have acquired because its "good", maybe a sign of success(?), needs to be put aside or disposed of. As we wade through the mountains of material, we wonder if the energy and love of spirituality can ever be found again. Some of us are determined and keep throwing the now useless stuff aside. Keep digging and eventually you will see the light, literally and figuratively. Now, it's just a matter of making the connection, plugging yourself back in. It will happen if you want it to. It's not easy, but you will have left the matrix.

Just got the cross-post update in my email and am reminded of this great essay.

I would love it if someone took all my 21st-century "toys" away! But I'd like to keep my 20th/19th-century toys please, as they are analog, physical, conducive of shared context, intersubjective compatible, and don't require internet (or electricity!) In all seriousness, taking on a medieval practice or two doesn't hurt – we can time travel between centuries through a sort of temporary "heterotopia" here and there, now and then. I pick up my mandolin and (try to) wholeheartedly play something written 300-years-ago... Where am I then, exactly?

Tessa, I know you already "get it," but for some of "lower lumens" what you say can be obscure. I mean public school broke most of the people's capacity to "envision anything" in a sentence longer than 25 words, especially things that benefit. So let me translate: TURN OFF THE T.V. PUT DOWN THE DEVICE, and interact with a "real person, real place or real thing." STOP LETTING STRANGERS influence your mind, like politicians, experts, doctors, academics, clergy, cops, news readers, know it all know nothings, and authorities. People who don't even know you, ain't bought you a cup of coffee or paid a bill for you. Put a fish tank over your head and free yourself from their Messianic B.S. Love somebody and start with you. It's real easy, the hard part is "withdrawals" liken to heroin addiction from the electronic devices.

Thank you Tessa, I am so glad you reposted this! I've been reading about the matrix as described by David Icke and Cate Montana lately, and your message rings so true. We souls in human bodies are so much more powerful than we realize (or have been led to believe), and relearning this essential truth will direct us away from the dystopian future we seem to be headed towards.

We do know the cosmetic industry uses a lot of skin and placentas from murdered babies, euthanized and organ harvested Chinese prisoners.

So true ... this city once had soul, synchronicities, magic ... it's still here, somewhere ... Tessa (& everyone), you would appreciate this 3-minute cartoon movie about cell phone zombies - https://www.facebook.com/PalabraDeRudolfSteiner/posts/442871213251424/ - says "false information. fact-checked by independent fact checkers. It's a freakin' cartoon exaggeration. But, there's nowhere the fact checkers don't try to influence ... Can still see, it just have to click on the "why" it's false. Then you can "choose whether to see it".

Thank you for the article.

I have huge sadness and anger at the attack of the phone zombies EVERYWHERE I go. Even tourists on holiday, newly discovering a country prefer to follow their journeys by phone instead of looking out of the bus / train window!! Children who are ignored ,even out on the streets by parents addicted . I watch them playing trying to get their parents attention to no avail as they are somewhere else entirely. Ditto dogs being walked by phone zombies. Cafes and restaurants ruined by groups of people hunched over their phones. My husband and I continually look around us in nearly every situation WE ARE THE ONLY ONES NOT ON OUR PHONES. ( We don't have smart phones, only tablets ).

It makes me scream inside.

I recently read this article:

(🔗 https://www.honest-broker.com/p/the-state-of-the-culture-2024?r=1v561y&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web 👀)

which I find complementary to the first part of "The Matrix That Eats People". He introduces the reader to the condition known as "anhedonia", which I think you'll find quite reinforcing in your observations... 🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️

Great post. I spent a couple days writing in my head this same article, but Tessa beat me to it, and of course did a much better job. And of course, I don’t agree, totally, because I believe we are both still human staring out from two separate locations at the same zombies created by the same monsters, but may have different understating(s) about who those monsters are and what the solutions may be. This is good and normal. Group thinkers speaking the same nonsense (like the mainstream media talking heads) and their slaves sporting different gang colors beating up slaves (their own and others of the same master program) to conform and behave are all so very abnormal, like Trump & Biden supporters; the “Us vs. Them” nonsense.

I’m certain the problem causing these divisions, the disease and all the wars are NOT the people of China, Russia, Iran, aliens…or electronic machines, AI, smart devises like the computers, laptops and tablets you and I are using to communicate—but have very similar, legitimate complaints about. Like Tessa said, ‘it’s the monsters in control;’ the manipulative, various oligarchy who’ve warped our education, media, definitions of words, history and therefore f🤬d up everything else on earth, such as how technology has evolved, particularly in secret to use against humanity to “unnaturally modify” the human genome and strip out the human soul.

Thank you for this beautiful piece. Coincidentally I recently came across William Blake’s Marriage of Heaven and Hell which delves into the four states of mind that exhibit distinctive attitudes towards the imagination and, therefore, experience the world in very different ways. There is an amazing analysis by Mark Vernon called ‘The Four-Fold Imagination’ on the Aeon platform. Bearing in mind Blake wrote this in the late 1700s, it is a startling insight into our current world mentality. With Ulro being the state of most of the population as you describe above, and Beulah perfectly representing the problems within some of the medical freedom community, where ethics and morality have morphed into selfhood. Would be interested in your insights.

Beautiful read! Thank You!

I do attempt to drift into the beauty when I can.
