The Consciousness Button

Sounds like an exciting, very "quantum" new gadget, eh...? ;)

But I am simply referring to the button on your right side: the one that supposedly registers the current "state of consciousness" of the world.

I just noticed, a few minutes ago, that it changed colour rather suddenly: it went from dark orange/red to light orange/yellow. In other words, the "cohesion" of the world consciousness, as measured by the website, just dropped considerably.

Assuming the measurements are at least coherent, I can see only one major reason for such a drop: a huge portion of the territories within the ex-Soviet Union, notably Russia (or at least a part of it) just entered the new year.
In other words, a huge chunk of the world population just said: "Midnight is over, 2007 is done with - can we go to bed now?" (Even if they don't go to bed, the "expectation" is over.)

I think it's a likely scenario.
What do you think?

Anyway, I know I won't be celebrating.
And I am not expecting anything.
I never do; but this year even less so.

The year 2007 is - or has been - beyond words.
My life disappeared: brutally, suddenly (only not really) - it all went poof.

Beyond words.

It's a year that never should have been.
(I know many of you feel the same way.)

And yet I cannot celebrate its passing.
I cannot celebrate another separation, as artificial and trivial as it may seem.
I cannot - do not want to - walk into a future, when my future is behind me.

Unless I rewrite it.

Until I rewrite it.

Here's looking at you, kid

What do you see in the mirror?

Do you like it?

Does your heart hum with joy when you look at yourself?


If it doesn't, it's safe to assume you aren't looking in the right mirror...



HERE is the right mirror:

Do you see?

No?

Look closer...

You don't see anything yet?

How about now?

Are you saying:

"Yes, it's very beautiful, but that's not me"?

Step back.

Step back as far as you can...


and have a look

at YOURSELF:

(click on the image!)

Amazing, huh?

(What is it?!)

Oh, so your science teacher thinks it's all hogwash...? 


Well, YOU think again.

You are God in oblivion.


You are God who's forgotten her own power -

you are God who is afraid of her own power.

(You think you've heard this one before?

Was it here, perhaps?
And HERE is the man who said it.)

It is not blasphemy.
Don't let anyone tell you that.



God is you.


Nothing happy, beautiful, magnificent you can think of is against God,

because it is God who is thinking it.

We'll be back soon.

Meanwhile...

take a look at this fabric for your new gown!

Spread it over your screen 

and have a good look at it.

(And then compare it with that science teacher's sense of fashion... :)

OR you can visit some more of your sisters and brothers in the glorious Hall of Mirrors.
