We Broke Time
Michelle Yeoh Everything, Everywhere, All at Once
Ripe for Radical Change
We have all heard about “quantum leaping”. “Post”- pandemic, media has begun shifting. Large studios began to realize that there is not the resources, interest, and rectification from the public to continue to produce sequel after sequel, and continue to make another tired Marvel Saga. The world became a different place. We all began to view time different as we spent weeks and months in solitude, and began to face our fears, past, futures, goals, and inspiration.
During this time, we cracked time. Time has been a keeper of us, and with the space to reflect and process- we developed a new relationship with time, and many of us became new humans all together. We began to process grieving the life we used to have, and loved ones who passed on as the death toll continues to crank from covid, mental health issues, lack of adequate healthcare, and society at large going into “fuck it”mode and living like it is 1999. In The United States, we broke the sacred rules of keeping our bodies occupied, minds stressed, and allowed a period of rest for a select percent of Americans. Some got sweet, sweet unemployment. Others were able to work from home. Front line workers faces a different type of isolation from recreational places closing, or others being afraid of getting exposed by them. Many were granted rest. The shocker is how quickly the rest catalyzed into something bigger. A spiritual awakening that sparked “The Great Resignation”, and suddenly wellness began to boom, quantum theory, timeline jumping, and manifestation became It Girl topics.
Spiritual Sickening
We delicately land on the year of our Lord- 2022. We are here processing, people have abandoned church and are having massive spiritual awakenings without the support of a community. The commoditization of religion has left most religious institutions places unfit and unsafe for any type of massive awakening. Now the spiritual revolution is happening on TikTok and we are left gathering our bearings to find a way out of this, and pray to g-d that it isn’t psychosis, and that it is, in fact, something of the divine.
When the spiritual influencers appear overnight fill the market gap of said spiritual awakening, things start to get strange. When you fuck with space- time, as manifesting suggests- that you can alter your current reality through quantum physics. Well, what could possibly get weird? Mainstream is the idea of quantum leaping, and becoming a new character.
What happens when you start hearing voices of your dead grandmother? What about when you begin to loose objects that you know you didn’t actually lose? When you switch timelines so drastically, you begin to get amnesia of who you are, where you are, and what year it is. We all experiences a collective amnesia of “what year is it again?”, but nary are those physically prepared for the shock and existential dread of having a dream, and then realizing it is prophetic the next day.
Quantum Entanglement
We have managed to tangle ourself hear, but what about if we want to get off of the Willy Wonka tunnel ride of madness? How do we get off? Can you get off? Once you open the door, can you shut it?
The mind is capable of incredible things, and if getting too spiritually awoken leads to a place of trauma- the brain can be really good of forgetting something can happen. However, I don’t believe you can ever really just… shut a door. There are always cracks and leaks, but it is your life and you can go as deep or shallow as you want. I do believe part of this seemingly simultaneous consciousness awakening is preparing us for when the shit hits the fan- or as some like to call it “new earth”. Respectfully, I think that's a funny way to talk about collapse. I’m sure there will be some cute fucking parts of collapse. We’ll get our apocalypse powers juiced up, and come up with really weird ways to make fans.
Everyone has a different pace, so if you don’t want to access your apocolypse powers until deep apocalypse- so be it and rock on.
