I am not sure how to describe it but I will try.
I was still asleep when I woke up. I could feel and see in my minds eye that I was still asleep. I felt my body at rest. I felt my legs tucked and my arms clasped together under my chin. I was laying on my side and my breath was slow and peaceful. I felt soooo peaceful. I thought to myself, I am sleeping so well, I don’t really want to me wake up.
In my mind I knew that it was late in the morning and I had a planned schedule ahead of me. It was a work day and I had fallen back to slee,p instead of getting up. It was the best sleep I had had in a long time. When my mind came to but my body still slept I knew I was experiencing a very real situation. I wasn’t out of my body looking down at myself. I was connected and seeing from the inside.
This was a first for me. I’ve had out-of-body experiences and I’ve seen myself looking at myself in dreams. But to be in body awake and aware while still sleeping? This was my first and it was strange. I gently woke myself up. Good sleeping, I congratulated myself. Time to shift realities.
Weeks have passed since my sleeping experience described above.
The world has since raced by spinning in circles.
I shifted realities again and turned on the debate between Trump and Harris.
Not much of a TV-or-Reality-from-a-box sort of gal, catching the debate was actually a fluke.
I was in the right place at the right time and it just happened.
So I did my best to pay attention and see what the rest of the world was hearing.
Why do these things matter? What does it accomplish?
It was a strange experience because the distortions from reality were tossed around as if we were to believe them to have genuine importance.
Don’t get me wrong. The task before us is difficult and I have a lot of respect for the process.
It’s just this particular part of the process that I am exploring.
Who are these debates for and why are they considered to carry so much weight?
Many of the topics are important. And as a civilization I believe we do need to look at how things have been done in order to do things differently.
One must look back in order to move forward with change.
What played out on the stage during this presidential debate was two very different stories about what our perspective should be.
Why do we need to be told what our perspective should be?
Isn’t that what brainwashing is?
It’s very difficult to think that two people calling each other liars and making faces of disgust while the other is talking is an important way to influence the truth.
But apparently it is.
According to the analysis after the debate the amount of emotion each debater showed on any particular question was important.
I listened with my perspective intact. I knew my own opinion before listening to what was being presented. There was nothing said that changed my mind about my own position.
I suppose many others would be feeling the same.
And so I wonder again who the target audience is supposed to be.
Swing voters as they call them? People who don’t know which direction to go?
Was this an attempt to get people to actually switch parties? And this is how it’s done?
There are so many ways to view our world.
I certainly don’t expect someone else to tell me what I should believe.
But for many this must be the case.
And therefore it is necessary to help people understand their own mind.
In our evolved political process we present people with lies and then say okay, go figure out the truth.
This is sold by how eloquent or awkward the presence of the opposition is during the discussion of these partial truths or downright fabrications.
Watching this debate was a surreal experience for me.
I cannot give it a qualifier as good or bad or who may have prevailed.
The whole process is beyond my comprehension as being somehow constructive.
My world is one where my face pokes into the veil and I get to take a look around.
My mind wants to explore the connection of this world to another and another.
But my body is here in this world. This is where I lay at night sleeping. (Or early morning)
The physical world that I see is a mishmash of dystopia and Shangri-La.
We are in-between worlds and it is strange.
For me the one take away from the debate or this publicly displayed competition for a new leader of the ‘free world’ is that we need not to look outside of ourselves for the answer.
The answers that were thrown around last night were direct responses to the questions that are asked.
If nothing else, let this debacle create more questions.
What better way to build the future than with those people willing to question what they are told ?
The future is with those willing to find their way with their own mind.
When we do this, we will find each other.
When we do this, we will find ourselves.
