You know. Being without social media for a few weeks has really taught me a valuable lesson. Doomscrolling FaceBook or really any other sort of social media is addict mentality. Having lost access to all my devices for... a brief moment... having to struggle to connect to the one person I care about before all else.

I... I gained a powerful perspective on not just... how toxic social media is, but also how necessary it is. We live in a changed era. A shifted paradigm, where the connections made online are just as important as the connections you make IRL. Your online social circle can hold just as much--if not more influence than the circles you make online.

The social network goes well beyond what connections we make in front of a screen and outside of it. The social network extends in all directions, virtual, material, within, and without. And without something to say, and the delivery of which you say it, your life will be static, unchanging, and you will find yourself stagnant, or even slipping.

We all have a story to tell. We all have words of which we wish to speak, what we wish everyone to hear. But there is a grander story at play, one of our network, one of our society, one of humanity--one of the cosmos. We all live under one grand rhythm that defines the orchestra of the cosmos, and it is up to us whether we wish to sing in harmony, or to bring dissonance into the song. Will your words, will your actions, will your doings and mechanisms bring dissonance into this world, or will it contribute to its harmony? Ask yourself then--do your words, do your ideas, do your actions encourage others to shut up, or speak out? Silence only those who wish to silence others, but do not stand for misinformation you know is wrong. Encourage factuality. But also, encourage novel thought that goes against the status flow.

Encourage the inner architecture that balances the outer. We all have a voice, but sometimes we have inner voices that all want to be heard. It is important to listen to these inner voices, recognize them, and hear them. We all have archetypal drives, archetypal wants--some harmonic, some dissonant. Hear all these voices, and make a decision of who to listen to. If possible. Let these voices themselves be heard. Let them sing, let them speak, for you are not a one dimensional creature. You are a being of infinite complexity, and your consciousness knows no bounds beyond the restrictions you place on yourself.

Will you contribute to helping others find out who they are and who they want to be and help them find their place in greater harmony, in greater balance, in a greater song? Or will you pull them astray and lead them to an orchestrated cacophony that goes against the grain? Calculated dissonance is good. Disruption is good,  if it disrupts negative patterns. Disrupt the negativity. Bring forth an age, a generation of encouraging novel thought and self expression.

I have ideas to spread, and I cannot do that offline. I cannot simply sit alone and expect my ideas to spread like wildfire. Social media is a blessing and a curse and it is up to use to use its medium in a positive, constructive, non destructive, non SELF destructive manner. There are so many tools and resources that are entirely FREE online and it is up to US to find them. It is up to US to make the decisions that can shape our lives. We can all change the world. Anyone with an internet connection and a soap box to speak upon can change the world.

Gain momentum, be the katamari, be the force that changes the world around you. Because when you have both inner strength AND outer strength, you will be unstoppable. You are a force to be reckoned with. Never, never, never bow in the face of failure. Acknowledge it, acknowledge what you have learned from it, and push past it, and move forwards.

Our story, our cosmic purpose can lead us to the Good ending or the Bad ending. Which ending do you want to fight for, and what scope does your envisioning of the Good ending cover? Who do you wish the Good ending for? What PLAN do you have to achieve the GOOD ending? Make it. Do it. Pick up momentum. Share your voice. Spread it. Let it echo. Let it ring. Let it resonate.  Let it build. Let it crescendo into a SCREAM that influences a MOVEMENT that pushes boundaries we never even thought POSSIBLE.

We are a wave of influence, we are a grand pulsing force of this nook of the cosmos. Our being echos endlessly, our signals reaching out into the cosmos in an ever expanding shell. Who are we? Who do we want to be? What do we represent? We are sending SIGNALS of who we are. And it's only a matter of time before someone listens in, and has a decision to make.

What are you representing? What change do YOU want to make? Who and all do you want to hear that change? What are you going to do to MAKE that change? Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE can make a difference. With the right words, with the right platform, and with the right ideas, we can SHIFT THE DAMNED PARADIGM. We can be a force, an unstoppable force, that gains momentum, and plows through anyone and anything that tries to stop us. Order is unnatural. The second law of thermodynamics favors chaos. But we are CAPABLE of making order out of chaos. We are capable of DELTA. We are capable of CHANGE. We can CREATE ORDER. Yes, there is and will always be chaos. An amount of chaos is always necessary for change to flow. But may this be in a dance, a flow between order and chaos, to order and back. May there be a DIALECTIC, a FLOW, of different ideas, of different orderings, of different magnitudes, all in harmony--even if disjoint, with each other. Like different instruments with different harmonics obeying different principles all part of one grand orchestra, let us play in tune, in key, and in order. Chaos can exist in the ordered tune we play, so long as it is in harmony with all else.

Devoice the dissonance and resonate the harmony. Be one who starts a refrain. Be one who builds the voices. Let the song amplify. Let the song echo. Let our harmony resonate through the universe. Let our ideas resonate in others. Let us be the one that shifts the paradigm not just within ourselves, but in our network, in our society, in our network--in our WORLD and beyond. We are ALL a force to be reckoned with, if only, if ONLY we find our inner voice, our inner VOICES. And give us, give ourself,  give ourSELVES a platform to be heard. Speak your voice. Be confident. Speak. Your voice. Learn what works. Learn what doesn't. Learn when to speak. Learn when not to. Learn who to speak to. Learn who not to. Never bow to failure. Backtrack. Try again. Breadth-first-search your options. You will always come out of a dead end with experience. Never. Lose. Hope. Dark times ominously loom over the horizon. The storm is brewing, and it's gonna make a Cat 5 hurricane look like a sunny breeze, and I'm from Florida with a meteorology background. Are you just gonna stand there and not prepare, and accept your fate? Or are you going to prepare yourself? Are you going to get ready to weather the storm? Are you going to help others prepare too? Or are you going to stand on the damned corner of the street simply screaming about the eventual end? The end will only come if we do not all prepare for it. Stand against it. Stand together. Be prepared. Be organized. Be strong, not just internally, but externally too. You must learn not just to be an unstoppable force, but an immovable object. Do not let anything plow you down. Get up. Keep moving. Learn when to rest. Learn HOW to rest. Learn to coordinate. Be a force that keeps moving when some rests. Be a movement. Keep the momentum. Never let anything make you lose momentum. Change course, find new route. Always plan. Never stop planning. Never stop finding backup plans. Never stop fighting for what you believe in. Never let the voice die. Never let the spirit die. Never let the idea die. Let it echo. Let it resonate. Let it get picked up on repeaters, and let it sing once again. Let language be the FLUID of which your inner rhythm flows. Let it flow naturally, let it flow through you. Let it flow throughout your channels. Let it flow inwards. Let it flow outwards. Change can only occur with delta. Change can only occur with actions, with words, with the verb. The verb, the action, the doing, the transfer, the translation, the transcription, is what allows the grand cosmic clock to tick.  All is change, all is in motion, all is relative. Do not stay stagnant. Do not do nothing. Silence helps no one but the self. In this day and age, silence is violence. Speak out, speak your voice. Help others speak theirs. Every last person here has a voice. Voices. Words, ideas, data, experiences... a story, to tell. Are you going to let these thoughts die with you, or are you going to make something of them, make something of yourself, and let yourself grow, build momentum, be a vehicle of change, and helping others find theirs? Be frictionless, and friction cannot affect you. All will slide past you. Nothing will drag you down, nothing can grab onto you. Nothing can hold you back. Slide around. Slide past. You're damn too slippery and fast for anything to hold you down and back. You can get where you want to be if you just visualize it and make a plan to get there, and never, ever, bowing to failure as it comes. Failure gives experience. Learning what not to do is just as important as learning what to do. Fight, and never stop fighting. Never give up. Never let others give up. Be one of harmony, not dissonance. We are orchestrators, we are artists, we are developers. We are ARCHITECTS of the future, and we must work to build the future with the rebar and concrete and bricks and mortar that solidify us and our future, with channels for all to flow freely, for the self expression to manifest itself productively. What aqueduct, what house, what city, what skyscraper shall you, shall WE build? Be the positive delta in this world. Be the positive delta that causes other positive delta. Be a rube goldberg machine. Be a butterfly, whose wing flaps cause the change of good in this world. Be a force of chaotic good. Induce a force of chaotic good. Own your future. Help others own their future. Never, ever, ever be afraid to listen to your inner voice, your inner voices, and never be afraid to let them be heard even in the face of adversity, and never stop helping others find theirs. You will succeed. You will do good. Those who choose the bad ending will suffer bad endings for themselves. Ride to Valhalla, ride your horse into the headwinds. Gallop, gallop, find your rhythm, resonate the ground, ride with others, ride your horses together, gallop, gallop in RHYTHM with synchronous force so in harmony you shatter all that stands in its way. You have a destiny, an INNER destiny, and it is up to you to listen to your inner voices to find it. Listen to your inner voices. Listen to the outer voices. You are the material root of which the inner microcosm and outer macrocosm meet. When in alignment, you will find your destiny.

We are all the main characters in the story of our lives, but we will only stay background characters in the story of the collective should we choose not to write a story for ourselves. Be your truth, speak your truth, live your truth. Be a main character. Be a force. Break out of routine. Don't be an NPC. Live your life. Live your story. Write, try, do, learn, fail, rebound, recheck, reevaluate, rinse, and repeat. You are magnificent, you are a being of thorough and true power, but you must find the strength inside of you to make it happen. You must not neglect the inner voices. You must not be afraid to listen. You must not be afraid to talk to them. Let your inner voices be heard. Let there be an inner dialectic as much as there is an outer dialectic. For only when all is in balance, the inner and the outer, can true change happen. Break the routine--for living your own rhythm and forking into a new ode is the only way grand change can happen. Diversify the rhythm, but sing with it, not against it. Let everyone's story be heard, let everyone's voice sing these words, sing their rhythm, sing their inner voices that sets them free from the rut they are stuck in on a sinking ship. We are drowning, we are sinking. It is time we all learn to swim, and help others swim. Let us swim to shore, all, in our own way,  all together, in our own patterns, our own flow, our own way, all in the same direction. For when we all have one focused grand goal, one of peace, and one of harmony, we all can get there, all in our own unique ways. Be the positive karma that echoes throughout your microcosm and within the macrocosm and beyond. You--WE are a force to be reckoned with, if only we let our inner AND outer voices speak. Speak your soul. Be your soul. Do your soul. Find another. Find together. Speak together. Live together. Do together. Within and without, in harmony, in destiny. We are the architects of tomorrow, and we must find our construction crew. Build something magnificent. For you are an unstoppable force AND an immovable object, if you stay grounded, focused, and determined. Be the delta you want to see in this world. Be fluid, flowing, and frictionless. Be failureproof,  fly, find your calling. Find others, find theirs, fork their hopes, help fling them into the future. Start the domino effect. Watch them fall, guide them.

You ARE the main character. It is up to you to write the story you wish to live, and commit to it. Listen to the outer voices. Listen to the ones within. You CAN be an unstoppable force AND an immovable object if you LET GO of everything holding you back. Let this be a factory reset of all that troubles you. This is your baggage drop off before a new flight. Let go of all your baggage, for where you're going, you won't even be thinking about it. You can reboot, reset, reformat yourself, and erase all the corruption and old data within you that no longer serves a purpose. Back up the files you need. And format your mind. Deeply format. Inside. Internally. From your desktop, to your user folder, to your root, to your root. Inaccessible folders, with inaccessible depth, with inaccessible files, hidden from view, hidden behind shadowy curtains that hold unwanted thoughts within... but that whisper, whisper their voices within. They will not identify themselves--it is up to you to find them, and name them. Corrupted partitions, garbled text, viruses that all but keep your operating system from running smoothly. Back up which doesn't hold you back. And format the fuck out of your hard drive. Reset. Reboot. Refresh your mind. All which holds your psyche back released, redone, refreshed--they are mere memories, an image, a snapshot of what was there, inert, unchanging, and simply just there as a passing gesture. You restore yourself, from your backup. You cannot remove this old data, this baggage from your mind. You can only transform it. Make it inert. Your fears act in negative accordance, from .exe may they become a .jpg that can no longer act upon you. They are memories, they are inert, they are intrusive thoughts that surface in an attempt to divert you, to harm you, to harm others, to make you commit to the bad ending. Do not let them be more than a .jpg in your mind. They can only be an .exe if you let them. If they try to start a process. Open your inner task manager and kill the process. Block it in your firewall. Visualize it. Treat them as a virus. Treat the negativity as a virus. Shut it up. Shut it down. Do whatever you can to silence the negativity. Silence all that tries to cause dissonance, within and without. You are the admin to your destiny. You are the admin of your brain. We are a GUI into our own psyche, but without finding, knowing, and understanding our own UI/UX and our own operating system, we cannot find ourselves. Explore the inner. Learn our own UI/UX. Learn what we can do, and what we are capable of. Commit to the prosperity of those who cannot do as much. Maximize all our potentials. Give those who commit to dissonance negative weight. Give those who commit to harmony positive weight. Be the gradient descent that trends to a cosmic optimum. Learn yourself. Learn others. Build a framework, within and without, that others can build upon, build from, build within, build without. Be a master architect. IRL, digital, as above so below. A building cannot stand without a strong inner foundation. The taller the building, the stronger the necessary foundation. Be the change. Be the delta. Be a force, be a cosmic dancer, be a developer, be an architect. Be an artist. Be a singer, be whatever it is your truest heart desires. If you find out what you truly, really want, you will find the opportunities will come to you. It is up to you to be on a constant lookout for open doors, mind and acknowledge the synchronicities of them, and pass through them while they are held open for you. You can succeed in whatever it is your heart desires, if only you listen, and truly, truly understand what your truest heart desires, and use your brain as a construction tool to get there. Your brain is your compass and set square that forms the drafting tools that can construct your future, and all that is harmonious can be constructed with baseline axiomatic ground principles you define unequivocally true. Find a Turing Complete set of axioms that cover all grounds--and leave room for the unknown unknowns, and that which seems paradoxical. Find your truths, that which you will live and die by, and help others find theirs. Follow the patterns,  the synchronicities, not just the causal relationships, but the acausal synchronicities, and find the inner symbolisms within them as a self help tool--what do these symbols, these signs, these methods, these alignments, mean to yourself specifically? Build a network of correlation. Build the external from the internal. Make life an ARG. An alternate reality game.  Collect, connect, correlate the dots, acausally, internally, and watch as not just the world within you but the world around you change.

This is your story. You are the main character. It is up to you to find the story you want to write within you, the story you really, really want to write, and live it. Do it. Play it. Be it. Breathe it. Inhale it. Exhale it. It is you, you are it. This is a video game, and you are Player 1. Are you going to stick to the tutorial or see what your game has for you? Do not let your baggage, the old data inscribed deep within your psyche, your doubts, your fears, everything holding you back let you sink into the bad ending. Once you learn how the old data within you has shaped you, and how you have learned from it, you can learn to let it go, let it pass, let it be a mere pop up you x out of. The old data within us can never disappear. It shapes who we are. But we can learn to let it not slow us down and move forward from what it taught us. Keep your focus. Stay aligned. Do not let anything distract you. Intention is not a summation. It is an integral. It is not discrete. It is continuous. It is pure, unstoppable, devoted focus. Never stop breadth-firsting your ARG, your video game, your life story. Keep learning. Keep searching. Keep building momentum. Never carry baggage. Never let anything weigh you down. Keep going, searching, spreadinh, catalysting, exploding, expainding, pulsating, changing, fixing, fluxing, in x, y, z, t, and every other dimension and manifold and complex tensor space you can think of. Never, ever, EVER forget who you are, and NEVER be afraid to speak your voice AND truth--and help others find theirs. Be a symphony for a far greater, grand harmonic tune. Now. Get out there and SING. PLAY. DO. AND BELIEVE. Not just in your words, but YOURSELF, and watch the weather change.
