The Mirage

The most difficult phase of creation. Navigating the gap between seeing the new reality and physically inhabiting it. Understanding why you are a "slave to the chemicals."

The mirage is ridin' on the sun It’s a song that needs to be sung It’s been this way since it begun The mirage is ridin' on the sun Off in the distance what could it be? Wonders as far as the eye can see Freedom, happiness, beauty, & love Phantoms of what could be to come The mirage is ridin' on the sun It’s a song that needs to be sung It’s been this way since it begun The mirage is ridin' on the sun We affect how we behave But I know that I am a slave To the chemicals Coursing through my veins Concocted by firings in my brain The mirage is ridin' on the sun It’s a song that needs to be sung It’s been this way since it begun The mirage is ridin' on the sun One thing I know Is time’s not moving slow As I try to go with the flow But I still believe Though it’s hard to conceive The fantasy is really there to receive The mirage is ridin' on the sun It’s a song that needs to be sung It’s been this way since it begun The mirage is ridin' on the sun Gotta do what needs to be done The mirage is ridin' on the sun

Decoded Insight

Chemical Slavery.
"I know that I am a slave to the chemicals." Your biology is addicted to your old emotional state. When you change your mind, your body goes into withdrawal. The "Mirage" explains why change feels physically impossible.

System Note

Phantom Vision.
"Phantoms of what could be to come." The new reality starts as a waveform—a ghost. Materialists dismiss it as imagination. The Lucid practitioner knows it is a future memory waiting to collapse into particle form.
