The road so far #
Every effect has a cause, there is a correspondence between everything in our universe, and nothing is lost, only transformed.
I learned this in school, but for some reason, it was only applied to material aspects like physics, and biology but not human aspects like history or art, which is a shame, because it could have helped to learn exactly how a monarchy gets created, like for real? Maybe fear has something do to with this?
I slowly learned that I live in a world that is influenced by an event that happened a long long time ago, which still impacts our day-to-day life.
We are traumatized as a species and we don’t know it.
Believing current events are normal since it has been that way, all the time. But has it though? Do we know for sure?
How does a traumatic event propagate? Imagine a child that grows up with a problematic family, we can predict that the growth process of that child will be negatively influenced by the family circumstances.
But what made this family problematic in the first place? Imagine there was a war, which influenced the growth process of grandparents and parents negatively.
But what caused that war? We can find many reasons, all of which may hold a drop of truth, but we don’t know because we are so used to the conflict we made it part of our life.
But let us imagine there was a bigger trauma, a collective trauma, which prompted mankind to prey on each other…returning us to a previous stage of evolution, where war is natural (as it is for chimps right now).
We can see how one event can prompt other events, similar in nature, which end up impacting our lives, and influencing how we grow at a physical and mental level.
Given the perception we have, we can classify these core events.
When it is bad, we call it trauma.
When it is neutral and constant we call it culture.
When it is good, we call it enlightenment.
Different names for different perspectives, for something that in essence is the same.
Some people may look at the enlightenment of the 16th century and see the trauma caused by the Catholic church.
Some may look at the Holocaust and see the culture that caused it.
Some may look at any trauma and see karma (it is the modern way of saying, deal with it duh!).
Many things are fucked up with the world, and it could be because of some initial event, that prompted many others, and maybe we can even visualize that cascade of events, learn from them, and make a change!
But for that, we need to understand what happened.
More and more evidence is surfacing that our species is much older than we had known.
Which begs the question, what are we?
The ongoing theory is that something happened ~12000 years ago, which reset our civilization.
Imagine a family feud that results in one death.
Imagine a war that results in thousands of deaths
Imagine a cataclysm that results in billions of deaths.
All these events cause ripple effects in our reality, and the events may be linked to each other, that doesn’t mean we should accept it as the way things should be, because if we do that, we propagate forward that traumatic event, unchanged, we leave it for the children to endure.
Sometimes we want that to happen, an enlightenment is a positive event right? We would want that to continue, right? Well it depends, current scientific enlightenment also evolved into scientific dogma, which captured people that lacked faith or lived in fear. Is that something we should allow? I get it, science makes a lot of things happen, but it only holds a portion of the truth, not all of it.
We are hurt, but we can heal, and more importantly, we can remember.

Ancient Apocalypse!
No one better than Graham Hancock to paint a different picture of our past, a picture that includes other possibilities that today we don’t even consider.
For Auld Lang Syne
Every ending is a new beginning.
We know the way
By knowing where we are and where we come from.
