Into the Trenches of Hyperspace

Into the Trenches of Hyperspace
Searching for Signs of Life
in the digital media hellscape

The battles for your reality begins
on the binary fields of digital interaction
A consensual hallucination, where
one's thoughts manifest totally, and
reality itself conforms to the wave patterns

The Blind see only this World,
Fake it to Make it, Play with Perception,
Theater of Humanity, Great Leap of Faith,
and The Death of the American Dream

If your heart hasn't been broken by this reality
then you don't love her enough

Everything is Up for Grabs
roaming the secret passages of the datasphere
Hacking the Imagination

There's a whole world there- a whole new reality,
which they can enter and even change

Each new opening leads to the discovery of an entirely
New world, each connected to countless other new worlds
broken through to an infinitely more complex
and rewarding network (Ideas are networks)

Each new opening leads to the discovery of an entirely new world,
each connected to countless other new worlds

translating the connections between words and images
time in images, with the inner voice silent
With every lag, every paid app, I can’t afford

Every upload and download, that drains away my time
Every story, content, and poem that is stillborn.

Bit by bit, click by click,
Scroll by scroll, A lil bit of my soul dies

It's a dizzying perception,
It's a strange manifestation
These digital lives we live

As we go our wary way
We find that which we desire.
Click by Click-ad by ad-screen by screen
Death will come to us all in perfect order.
Finite time, ticking away.
I embrace the sunset
Watch it rise
Power to the man's veil, little I offer
Knowing the power
Of Truth Unfiltered.

We Never lose our demons.
We just learn to live above them.
Listening to the better digital angels
of our deep nature

I got more than enough to keep me whole.
For once I'm not slightly out of control.
Got crazy dreams when it breaks morning,
every day, a requiem.

We all need a space to be ourselves
The silence, the wonder, the awe
The experience of the very first time

Each experience of love nudges us toward
the Story of Interbeing,
because it only fits into that story and
defies the logic of separation.
Humans want connection, People want Unity

Humanity doesn't happen at scale,
It happens Peer to Peer
Love is the felt experience of
the connection to another being

A secret history of the mystical impulses that continue
to spark and sustain the western world's obsession with
technology, and especially with its technologies of communication
