We experience reality as we are. It’s like asking a fish to describe water—the medium itself is too total to be seen. Human perception operates much the same way: kaleidoscoping fragments of sensation, memory, and patterning are constantly rearranging what our cognition reasons as “reality.” Each psyche is as singular as a snowflake, while each worldview is forged by its own fires. Then, overlay making sense of sense-making within the captivity conditions of our fishbowl. Henry Ford comes to mind: You can have any color you want, as long as it’s black or black.

Entrained and restrained by the notion of five senses, humanity lacks the instruments to measure actual reality. Consider our equine counterparts: horses see nearly 360 degrees, feel ground vibrations through bare hooves for miles, smell and hear infinitely well beyond our range—all without the illusory constraints of our prefrontal cortex.

Humanity was tampered with long ago. At any given moment, new empirical evidence can upend the foundations for every paradigm underpinning what gives rise to our perceived cohesive, mutually yielded to—coerced web of projected illusion understood by us as experienced reality. Now we are being called to reconnect, to come fully back online.
