If you guys are like me, you have no creative ability what your
awareness is concerned. My perceiving this is creatively beyond me.
All my perceptions, including this, simply appears. It all feels
subtle, personal, alive, thinking, reflecting(take a minute to notice
how it feels to be you)...and it all just appears, appears, appears -
I'm not aware how the hell it happened, and I'm not aware what will
float in my awareness 10 seconds from writing this.
This message separates awareness(you) and what is "in" the awareness:
content changes, but there is a constant experience of content.
This is a heavy idea that is not popular. One heavy idea getting more
popularity is that the rate of technological evolution is
accelerating, in other words that the human race is making
exponentially more progress each year. In half a century, the systems
of earth may have transformed into a sublime form of non-suffering
intelligence, spreading troughout the cosmos, or whatever the fuck
will happen! Metal up your ass!
