What if life is a construct, similar to the world of The Matrix movie series? A mere projection? A hologram?
And if so, is it created by an Artificial Intelligence, or it is of our own making, out of our own collective consciousness?
If the former, could we find and demolish such a controlling machine? If the latter, can we change our reality?
Given all the evils of our current world―poverty, prejudice, conquest, war, disease, pollution, horrific crimes against children and against humanity―surely we could envision and create something better?
Imagine…
Clear, blue skies and pristine waters…the touch of soft breezes redolent of leaf and loam as one walks through forests hearing the crunch of pine needles beneath one’s feet…or of sea and sand while sauntering along clean beaches, barefoot, as waves lap the shore…
Everyone enjoying delicious and healthful foods…children happy and safe, playing together and laughing…families and communities working together to meet their own needs…
Feeling energized on rising, ready for a day of helping and sharing…of tasks, whether mundane or momentous, each imparting a sense of purpose and fulfillment…of labour and fun in equal measure…
Of a life worth living…
Can you imagine it?
