Humanity has fallen in lust with its shadow and created a black pool of water to stare into 24/7 in the form of digital devices.
Technology brought the myth of Narcissus to life.
You aren’t even aware of it, but the black screens of Artificial Intelligence or A-EYE, are mirrors.
There was a time when no one cared about being seen, only being.
Then the computer was invented.
And, like Narcissus, we found a collective people unconsciously staring into the fragmentation of all the things we never wanted to look at.
A culture that has been programmed to hide behind masks, literal and metaphysical.
You hide your true self:
- To be accepted by friends, family, colleagues
- To be liked, to feel a sense of belonging
- To feel special, to know more, to get a trophy without earning it
- To appear to have it all together, to be more important, to be an expert, for success
But this is all a mask, it’s the abandonment of your true self while creating an image, a label, a title as a placeholder to the true you.
And this mask becomes a performer that shows up as:
- People pleasing to be liked, doing things for validation of others
- Never saying how you really feel, little white lies appear
- Sugar coated language instead of directness
- Virtue signaling as a means of self-convincing
- Polite or nice, but never kind, because you were taught this made you a good person
- Obedience, consent, compliance from fear of standing alone
And all of it costs you…it costs you, You.
And this inability to look at the true you, the good, bad, the beautiful and ugly, has created a rupture in the SIGHT of the collective consciousness. A vision of illusion adapted by the programming to be comfortable and safe by giving up freedom and putting it in the hands for someone else to control….all seems good while we just keep on scrolling, the trollers keep trolling….a game of justification and pretend, anything but knowing.
The inability to look in the real mirror has allowed a funhouse one to emerge as part of our daily life.
The unwillingness to dive into the depths of real connection, has made manifest in glass…a black abyss, or pool, where all that fear of being seen for who we really are is turned on via tiny stages on tiny boxes on tiny devices on tiny lives…. where we’re creating tiny minds….no glass ceilings, just shattered meanings from manufactured feelings.
Even when you aren’t consciously looking into it your reflection stares back and the subconscious sees you.
So, our inability to maintain our realness, our organic nature….to stay tapped in with the natural world has turned us into data points…
The peep hole on these devices, a creation of the unconscious shadow of humanity, the portal to peep into life but not live it, the gateway to fantasy at the expense of reality, the tunnel that traps consciousness into snapshots of what life should be while denying what it really is.
And no one notices and no one cares because they are wearing the archetype of Narcissus…too busy staring into the black pool, the endless mirror….
When you only perform for the world, never removing the mask…. you hide your true self…. you fall in love with the image created…. the label…while the true you gets buried behind the EYE of the ARTIFICIAL.
The myth of Narcissus was a warning to humanity.
Much of modern technology has heightened vanity…. destroyed natural beauty…. invited in comparison and distortions…heightened fantasy and unrealistic expectations…created a void for standards that are unattainable…. opened a doorway to imitation…. uniqueness is no longer valued…
The parrots and performers are rewarded with “views” because those hiding behind the same “film” overlay want to feel they are not alone as they fall into the oblivion of the black mirror.
The whole world becomes a caricature of peep holes and narcissism…because the archetype of Narcissus has seeped into our lives while we stare into the black pool of fantasy and can’t look away…it’s the false void…it’s not the womb of creation, it’s the copy cat of costumes emanating…can’t turn off the screen….can’t fight the urge of vanity unchecked….the allure of someone else’s definition of beauty popping up in advertisements…because, if you click the shiny button and buy the thing you can get rid of that wrinkly neck…it’s always a lure.
Our culture discards the wisdom of the elders and values only the “appearance” of youth…. even if it’s not real…. even if it’s just an illusion….even if what you see in the mirror isn’t what you think.
Fractured filters of masks now seep into our language….as we sit idly by and do nothing…but stare…
We, the collective, created the peep hole of a surveillance state by not facing ourselves.
We, the collective, allowed ourselves to become data, a product, by not turning off the costume that hides our true selves.
We, the collective, invited A-EYE into our lives by being unwilling to wipe off the perception of being anything but a perfect image on a display table.
We, the collective, stared into the SCREENS so long we can no longer see the SCREAM behind the pretty pictures and daydreams.
We, the collective, can no longer discern propaganda because this Truman Show like existence has created a new kind of hunger, turning us into consumers of information and blips of meaningless “false” revelation.
While trying to conceal everything the peep holes watch.
We did this to ourselves.
Real ID is anything but REAL, it’s the collective unconscious IMAGE (ID) of Narcissus laminated in a plastic mask, it’s your life digitized from the black pool of longing and lusting for self, transferred into a hack, so that you’re always tracked and never not “visible”…but never actually visible as the true you.
It’s showtime, get ready for your zoom-room…. get your mask on….
They will tell you all the reasons A-EYE is good…they buy your discernment…. they steal your consciousness and make sure nothing is Under-Stood…. just keep looking into the mirror…
That’s right, your life passes you by until one day you realize you don’t recognize yourself anymore….
The artificial, the virtual reality, doesn’t need VR goggles…. it’s already here in every moment.
We must turn these things off much more frequently than we do…
Can you go a day without looking into a mirror…. not just the mirror in your bathroom…but the one on your TV, your cell phone, your computer….when was the last time you went on a trip and didn’t take any photos or went on a hike and left your phone in the car?
Can you hear the warning of Narcissus?........It shouts, “Can you see me now?”…the paradox lives in the manifestation itself and our unwillingness to recognize that this was not created by a they “out there” but through our own consent, compliance and cognitive dissonance.
The data breeches, the constant email and text scams, the hours dealing with phone prompts, the chat bot trolls, the theft of AI stealing from real human’s data and work, the physical symptoms caused by blue light and lost attention spans…..it’s your soul showing, and shouting, a big warning…….before becoming Narcissus and wasting away….never really living the life meant for you.
The peep hole is an abyss where privacy is lost and our humanness swallowed up by the machine.
We don’t need to track every minute of our lives…we don’t need to stare into the pool of this black mirror as a replacement for the healing rays of the sun…we don’t need to always respond immediately allowing our attention to constantly be captured.
We must deepen our discernment and grow wise….we must pay attention to what we capture and where we’re captured….where we’re beLIEving what we’re seeing is REAL while fooling ourselves and no longer being able to tell the difference between what is artificial and what is natural.
The A-EYE asks you to look into your own EYES and SEE where you are PEEPING into a false reality…living through another’s highlight REEL (that is not REAL)…and masking behind a persona…caught up in your own vision that is really someone else’s “vision”….What do you see? Who do you see? Who’s watching you? Who are you watching? Can you see beyond the black mirror? Can you make out the distortion? Can you look away?
Remember, these devices are also mirrors….what are they reflecting back to you? Do you like what you see…are you enamored…are you glamoured…are you unable to look away…beyond the dopamine and functionality, have you ever stopped to ask yourself why?
Do you see a soul?
Or are you turning into Pinocchio, who is the modern day bot doing patrol?
A-EYE is a trickster, an artificial overlay, do you see what I see?
The collective egregore created the machine to stare back at itself all day...it is its own audience…devoted to big brother…lost…the unconscious watcher whispering wake up only, yet it only stares into the hole deeper instead of reclaiming what is whole. The surveillance cameras lurking around every corner 24/7 but the archetype of Narcissus is so alive that no one notices. Society splits between the watchers, the watched….and those seeking sovereignty.
Consciousness waits....in the shadow....for the collective to look up….from the screen…come out from behind the camera.
There is always a Light waiting for us with renewal and a knowing that we can overcome, we can choose differently, it's not present in Artificial Blue Light, Not LED Light, it's not false....it's very real.

I agree with your thesis. So I'm wondering how come we still have zillion people being addicted like this to the Machine?
