The prelude on for this message from the martialized state of affairs of humanity's new(s)- is my short poem written 2.5 years ago... Trainstopping

Disproportionate travel for stem-celled entities
in a perfect coagulating station.
Not for the weak of intestinal critique.
Fade out into the tunneling darkness,
shadows stretch out before thou,
refracting what is not accepted,
shed for the sake of enveloping recognition,
compartmentalized to separate,
so taking steep corners won’t fracture
the skeletal image.
Backwashed passengers hang on for fear
of what happens when we stop.
What we know is what is said.
Shush the whisperers and listen
to the voice that is the only,
when you allow yourself to see past
the loneliness of the forefrontal armor.
Beheld open and vulnerable to your naked being,
floating in the ethereal darkness from which,
the vision, and the voice emanates from.
“It’s just a ride, it’s just a ride”, I hear throughout my faculty.
Salivating the windowpane was what held the stare,
for what is seen through the magnified surface.
Resonating systems sharing the same circulatory core,
pulsing with that same intention for further understanding.
Patient, breathing, and sweetly aware,
with eyes wide open and tearing.
The wind sows the seeds.

It’s all in your head... you just have no idea how big your head is!

It is not their intention to destroy... Their intention is to feed for as long as possible on the tremendous energies generated by the evolutionary struggle. Their purpose, therefore, is to prevent man from discovering the worlds inside himself, to keep his attention directed outwards. What would man be like if he could destroy these vampires, or drive them away? The first result would certainly be a tremendous sense of mental relief, a vanishing oppression, a surge of energy and optimism. Then man's energies would turn inward. He would discover that he has many 'selves', and that his higher 'selves' are what his ancestors would have called gods.
Colin Wilson, The Mind Parasites

When a human imagines, he actually creates a form on the Astral or even on some higher plane; and this form is as real and objective to intelligent beings on that plane, as our earthly surroundings are to us.
