Via Sinistrae Podcast|Cogs Episode
Where are the boundaries?The lines etched into our minds that dictate how we behave and interact with our world, tell us what is dangerous, what is safe, lovely, and frightening- how objective are they?We move like animatronic pirates, revolving in the same circle in pursuit of wench and wine, endlessly running round and round. But what is it that keeps us in formation, revolving without question. Are we afraid of the outlying caverns and doors that lead from our world into the sun drenched alien landscape beyond? Or have we been lulled into a stupor by the repetitive motions of the entire clockwork fantasy, the mechanical motions of living acted out by ourselves and our peers? We are chained in the invisible binds of conditioning. Such subtle bondage requires abnormal astuteness to be observed. When we are asked to accept this or that, right or wrong, black or white, we are really being asked to forfeit our perception of everything in between.When we sacrifice our vision to preserve contrived divisions we are absorbed into the machine, one more cog in a sleeping giant.And our apathetic submission has consequences beyond our own miserly existence. For one truth to rise all others must fall. Consider that your choice to remain in the service of the sleeping giant because it is easy, comfortable, and sensible is a choice to send a myriad of worlds into exile.Consider that whatever fate you sentence them to marks your own destiny.
