Regression

So here we are again. Another full moon. Another beautiful night. One more night for the cats to meow incessantly, and Sneaky to run around like a little lunatic.
Strange then that human beings block it out of their system. Is it because we’ve gotten so advanced that we’ve forgotten to listen to our instinct? The most basic, primal feeling that all of us have, our little inner voice that tells us everything we need to know, our biggest and bestest teacher. And yet we’ve blocked out the sound of her voice.
Snickers doesn't need to be taught to follow instinct. He just does what comes naturally, without any remorse or guilt or social obligations. As does every single animal ever since and forever more. And they’re considered inferior to us, a race that’s so superior that we forgot how to be human and think relying on technology for everything makes us more intelligent.
Not so long ago, little snickers, sap, you, me, we were all on similar spiritual zones. Then we as humans built us a pair of smart technology wings and thought we could fly high above all the other species. In spending all those minutes and hours and years and millennia developing technology, we forgot how to develop our mind.
The ancient Egyptians, the Aztecs, the Mongols, the Greek, they knew a lot more than this generation does. They built some of what we still call architectural wonders. And what’s really ironic here is that they were once us. And we were them. Many moons ago. We did all that stuff that we now marvel at. But somewhere down the line, we developed the term society. And society developed norms and rules and inhibitions and fear and punishment and ego and pride. And we forgot all that cool stuff we once took for granted.
Today, we use an average of only 10% of our mind. 10%??? We call ourselves superior based on a 10% figure? And when you consider that the bulk of that 10% is probably spent on the here and now, the daily grind, the routine issues, what minute figure is left for us to connect with our souls? Can you even imagine the potential of 13%? Or 50?
We need to go back to our roots. Or at least help our roots reconnect to the earth and draw it’s energies into our souls. I think we’ve starved our souls long enough. Time for some spiritual nourishment.
