The Upside-Down World

Sounds like a fiction about the future, but it's already a reality....

Aesthetic medicine and silicone bodies are a new form of beauty. Injections, psychedelics, and even chips as a new form of longevity, spirituality, and intelligence. Overconsumerism and addiction to money, power, and fame are new virtues. Bad deeds are perceived as good, and kindness and honesty are viewed as weaknesses. Authenticity is replaced by artificial “be yourself,” which means be like us. Success is counted only by likes, money, famous brands, and property. Red carpets for terrorists, requirements for victims. Worship for billionaires and disgust for people who work for these billionaires. Wars are accepted, freedom is not. AI is used for fakes and manipulation, and not for the sake of making this civilization more advanced and thriving. Robots are more human than humans themselves. Money and power are concentrated in the hands of a couple of people controlling the world. Humility, compassion, and unconditional love are replaced by arrogance, cruelty, and conditioned love. Primitive souls who master nothing but the art of shouting the loudest and selling their personal brand become leaders and influencers. Meanwhile, modest, wise, and intelligent people remain in silence - because no one can outshout the noise of ego. Reality is taken over by illusion. The psyche of a lot of people could not manage all of those; people commit suicide, others go away from this planet because of diseases and sudden deaths. Murders even in safe societies and countries become a new normality. Human beings are overusing this plant and its resources, manipulating others for the sake of their own egos. And, besides, humankind is standing on the edge of a Third World War....

Sounds really catastrophically, apocalyptically, and fatalistically? Yes! Do I exaggerate? No! What I do not do is show the other positive side, and I do it deliberately. I deliberately let the colors bleed, mixing everything at once - starting with the simple and ending with the unbearable. Hoping that somewhere, on the other side of the planet, someone might awaken by reading it in this very sequence.

As we all live in duality, in contrast to all of this chaos and maniacal madness, we have great technologies and possibilities that no other civilisation had before, and even maybe would have in the future.

The more I look at this world from the position of observer, the more speechless I am. I could not realize why, having such a potential and possibilities for everything humanity, still chooses the path of the Devil, the path of going into egocentric maniacs obsessed with themselves and their egos?!? Why, having such results, resources, and opportunities, are we choosing to kill humanity and planet earth, going to dystopia, and not creating utopia where abundance is everywhere and for everyone?!?

Going through the path of White Cliffs of Dover for the second time, I was thinking about this upside-down world and how challenging it is now to survive in it if you are different. The silence of the cliffs combined with the huge sound of the sea and wind was so powerful and shaking that nature was whispering: “Maybe the upside-down world is not here and now for apocalypse and world catastrophe, maybe it is for the new beginning?!?!?”

We can build something new only when everything old is collapsed, but the collapse needs cracks, fires, earthquakes, floods, decline of human values, manipulations, disinformation, corruption, dictatorship .... as a mirror for human beings to wake up through challenging, disruptive, uncertain, unpredictable, painful, and terrible events. To see the light and to come close to the light, one needs to go through complete darkness. The darkness is a place where human consciousness has not been revealed. The human consciousness reveals and awakens not in the zone of comfort, but in full discomfort, challenging the human ego. This collapse is for a better life; the question is whether human beings can awaken, or whether they can only kill themselves so that homo sapiens will disappear one day?

The cliffs were carved by harsh sea and waves, and severe winds over millions of years. Nature did not have the desire to eradicate them, but to change them, make them stronger, and help them to form a magnificent masterpiece.

Maybe this is what the upside-down world is for - not to destroy us, but to change us, to remind us what is real when everything else is turned on its head, who we are in this world, where we belong, and in what we believe.
