Consciousness is a lie.
The lie is how nothing
seems to become something.
Consciousness is truth.
The truth is how something
seems to become nothing.
Consciousness
is BOTH lie and truth
and NEITHER lie nor truth.
Chaos pretending to be clear.
Clarity imagining chaos.
Consciousness is
and isn’t consciousness.
The infinite (w)hole of potential.

A paradox. Consciousness is both the teller of truths and the spinner of illusions. It’s as if consciousness is the stage on which the drama of existence is played out, offering roles that are both real and imagined.
In this sphere, chaos and clarity are not so much opposites as they are dance partners, swirling in an eternal tango of creation and dissolution. Just when you think you’ve grasped the essence of one, it transforms into the other.
At times, consciousness seems like an unfolding revelation—a spotlight illuminating the profound mysteries of the universe. Yet, in the next moment, it can appear as nothing more than a mirage, an illusion shimmering on the horizon of understanding.
In its seeming contradictions, consciousness is perhaps the most faithful mirror of existence, reflecting both the tangible and the intangible, the finite and the infinite.
Have you ever noticed how everyone talks about mindfulness these days? Like, “Be in the moment, be present.” Sure, I get it, but sometimes my ‘moment’ is just me wondering what’s for dinner while pretending to listen to someone talk about their day.
And speaking of dinner, why do recipe blogs have a life story before the actual recipe? I just want to know how to make lasagna, not read about your summer trip to Italy where you discovered yourself and, coincidentally, lasagna.
Oh, and let’s talk about tech for a sec. Why does autocorrect assume it knows what I want to say? I type ‘I’m coming home,’ and it changes it to ‘I’m coming gnome.’ Now my family thinks I’m running off to join a band of garden decorations!
But hey, it’s all part of the cosmic joke, right? We might as well laugh, because the universe sure is.
