As human beings, we are engaged in a few activities constantly that we are largely unaware of, ordinarily. If we become actively aware of this, this awareness transforms the possibility space dramatically.

The first is that we act like dreams to each other. In communications and relational behavior, we restructure memory, identity, possibility and awareness. If we’re doing this »consciously, the results are almost invariably as astonishing in their capacity to lift us beyond the cages that arise and are reinforced when we do this unconsciously.

The second is that we act as nonordinary medicine for each other. ‘Regular’ awareness is an array of trance states that can be actively and intelligently redirected toward healing, skillfulness and otherwise impossible prodigy.

The third is that we create ‘feedback systems’ that restructure a variety of ordinary and nonordinary assets. Consider what happens during ‘an argument’ as the feedback reintroduces fear, anxiety, shame, guilt and anger. Then imagine ‘the Jimi Hendrix’ of communications, where the feedback is intelligently structured to produce liberation, play, creativity and ecstasy-liberation.

What’s ‘actually going on’ in human experience bears almost no resemblance to the fictions that have been established and dominate our common experience.

An aside: Facebook and other social media platforms mimic and replace the positive potentials of these situations, creating … primarily (but not exclusively) the opposites of the desirable and beneficial modes, in part, by replacing intelligent communal activity with ‘novelty’ and ‘clickbait’.
