Do we realize enumeration

PB Flower — Sat, 02 Aug 2025 13:20:15 -0400

Do we realize that...

- Free means we are the beta tester or clutter clearing instrument

- The only freedom we have is choosing from given options

- We are not the body but ideas

- Anything exists because we separate it from ourselves, anyone exists because we don't see them the same as us

- We never act but react, meaning we respond to prompts just like the AI

- We never invent but replicate organic concepts

- No matter how successful, we never stop looking for like-minded people

- Depression is lack of enjoyment, because we cannot stand a single moment of unhappiness

- anything we do is to seek a state of deriving, our every reaction, thus is a pleasure movement

- if we truly don't care about something, or claim that we are over it, we wouldn’t notice it at all, it will cease to come to mind unless prompted

- Life is movement and if measured it requires points of reference, suggesting there is an end and a beginning

- there is no clear definition of life and death, it is simply a change

- We never feel others' emotions but play it out by putting ourselves in the situation or identity if we have also been through it. An empath can replicate it better than others, feeling it at a heightened level.

- you can only become famous when you share commonality with the crowd, it can be a longing or something prevailing. It is called touching lives.

- Bitterness is a form of misery because we can't get what we want all the time

- Jealousy is natural because we constantly compare

- Awareness is chaos and ignorance is peace

Psyops

PB Flower — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 17:37:33 -0400

We are drawn to natural beauty. The standards of beauty vary across different cultures. Even then, some things are universal, like cats. Okay, okay. Maybe not everyone swoons over cute cats. Some of us are dog lovers. Others prefer exotic animals as pets.

This proves there’s no universal formula for what makes us like something. So how does societal conditioning work? What makes something unnatural click?

The most effective way to condition someone is from birth. After that, it requires tapping into our fears. The most basic one? The fear of survival. This becomes a hook to lure anyone toward embracing a preposterous, otherwise nonsensical idea. For example: We’re all fearful of the unknown. An unfamiliar ethnicity may spark curiosity, but often, it also makes us keep our distance. With a well-crafted narrative, this uncertainty can be exploited to instill unjustified fear.

This kind of manipulation began with organizations and unions. While these were effective at mobilizing workers, it was discovered that entertainment could have an even greater impact. With televisions, chosen messages could be conveyed while amusing the masses. People felt empowered even when these broadcasts were openly referred to as “programs.” Newspapers, magazines, radios, cinemas, and smartphones all became tools for disseminating targeted information.

Today, social media leads the way in influencing minds. Its reach is deeper and more affordable than ever. People compete for their few seconds of fame. But remember, algorithms dictate what appears in your feed. Read that again. The key word here is feed. Everything you consume on your phone is fed to you. Even when you use the search function, the results are curated and supervised.

This movement to alter objective reasoning is called Psyops.

One striking example is the feminist movement, which allegedly began as a way to collect more taxes. With more women working, families turned to daycare services for their children. Busier lifestyles led to eating out more often. Dual-income households gained greater spending power, stimulating the economy.

Psyops is used in many ways. The primary agenda remains constant: influence the thinking of a target population. It’s a distraction, keeping people focused on working harder for money (or other forms of exchange), promising a semblance of buying power. At the same time, it divides the population by exploiting their fears. As a result, people don’t question their controlled state.

But why all of this? Why can’t we live as it’s portrayed? The answer is simple: as humans, we are both selfish and competitive. Selfishness demands cooperation with others to survive, while competitiveness insists we don’t let others get ahead. A select few, often referred to as the “Illuminates,” understand this friction. They resist equality, fairness, and justice while ensuring enough people support their cause and work for them. Psyops helps them maintain this perfect balance.

Dreams - A construct of Mind and Experiences

PB Flower — Mon, 09 Jun 2025 20:52:37 -0400

I've wondered and written about dreams a lot. It is one thing that has forced me to ponder upon constantly besides the workings of seeds. Yeah, I know. I am still baffled how a banana seed grows into such a huge tree and continues to branch off into shoots that grow into new trees!

Let me get back on track... Dreams. So yes, my husband was recently sharing his metaphysical take on dreams. He said, 'Dreams are created by external triggers from surroundings and memories. Senses are still operational except eyes. Though light can penetrate our skin, the largest sensory organ.'

I found it strange... but plausible. When we are asleep, our senses are not operational to practical extent. They still pick up the occurrences around us. We might not process and react to touch, a sound, or a scene playing out. It doesn't mean our body didn't register it. Except for the eyes, our body continues to gather data. It is fed to our brain, and we create dreams.

Some people experience hearing a sound and get up. Yet others make it a part of their dream. They might wake up later and be confused if the sound was real, or did they dream about it. A lot of kids wet their beds because they can't differentiate between reality and dream. Many have claimed they felt someone choking them and woke up to find it wasn't real but there is evidence of bodily trauma. Though dreams occur involuntarily, our body still participates in the mind-driven construct.

Another strange phenomenon is the perception of passage of time when dreaming. It seems to pass at a faster pace. If we consider Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity, which predicts that where gravity is stronger, time passes more slowly (also known as time dilation). It would suggest that we could be separated from our bodies and not under the influence of gravity. That's why we experience a lifetime within the two-three hours of dream-state we enter every night.

Wouldn't it be fun to have control on our dreams? Well, it is possible and is a trained cognitive state called Lucid Dreaming. This psychological phenomenon lends to what my husband theorized about external triggers contributing to dreams.

Although we have researched a lot on dreams. They are still a mystery. No matter the triggers, dreams suggest we are all storytellers, right?

Upgraded Existentialism: Death as life's true mirror

PB Flower — Sun, 14 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Could the most terrifying concept, death, actually be the key to truly living? We spend our lives avoiding it, though.

Even when the contemplation of our end could reveal our beginning. That's a scientific fact. You're not truly living until you confront death because only the full spectrum of existence of a concept can tell its complete story. And so, rest assured, this isn't a morose musing but an invitation to a deeper, richer existence.

We often feel like we're just going through the motions, searching for something more. But genuine meaning and profound connection comes from understanding.

There is a common aversion to discussing death due to societal suppression, as it is considered negative. Our modern life's busyness, especially digital distractions, enables this avoidance. Even when we see it happening around us, we are well trained to avoid it. The veil of immortality is draped over our common sense, and we think we have all the time in the world. Here is a compelling thought experiment, 'What if you knew your exact date/time of your death?'

Would you then:

Be depressed? Or,
Make the most of your leftover life?

Surprisingly, after the initial shock wears of, knowledge of our death acts as a clarifier. It forces us to re-evaluate our priorities. We do this pre-mortem exercise, imagining the end to inform the present, when taking out an insurance policy. Somehow, authenticity comes from finitude, boundary. When we know the end, we will make the most of our present.

However, this is true anytime. Death is a surety, the only certainty of an uncertain life. How come this blatant truth fails to reveal our true desires and values, stripping away superficiality? Why does the courage to live authentically only comes when faced with limited time, when our time is limited anyway? Let's not push away this fact for movies, songs, and poetries.

Shifting focus from what we can take from life to what we can contribute to it will create your living legacy which will stay after you're gone. Meaningful existence is defined by the impact you make and not the time you've spent sleeping away on God's green earth. Anticipating our absence, as in when taking out life insurance, will purify your present actions and how you handle your relationships.

Trust me, there is transformative power in integrating death into our philosophy of life. Memorize this mantra for a better mortality footprint:

Wake up appreciating your existence and your loved ones
Marvel at your breathing ability and the power of your agentic body
Recognize the abundance around you, material and natural
Go to sleep without regrets, keeping in mind your imminent expiration
Nonetheless, be sure to dream and make grand plans for tomorrow

I'll end by saying, 'Death isn't the opposite of life; it's what makes life possible.'

Primal Echoes in Modern Life

PB Flower — Tue, 9 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Ever feel that nagging urge to disconnect, to just… be?

That's your inner caveman knocking. You know... When you want to cuss and abandon the things you're pushed to do because of responsibilities, or when you're told that it is the only way. And when you have to pretend and hide what doesn't suit societal norms.

The reality is, we're biologically hardwired for a world that no longer exists; this creates fascinating conflicts in our daily lives.

Understanding these ancient impulses isn't about regressing, it's about unlocking untapped potential within our modern existence.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again: The same order applies whether you live in the wild or in our artificial society. Because were all competing for our space, our share of the bounty. The rules are a little different, but the result is the same. There can only be one winner.

How barbaric is that? Aren't we a society that claims to uplift everyone? Then why is there so much discrimination?

Because we still operate with caveman mentality.

There is a dire need to restore your instinctual GPS. Intolerance and nonobjectivity of individuals and societal narratives makes our "fight or flight" response still crucial. But how many of us misdirect it on social media

instead of saber-toothed tigers (I know they are extinct). What I mean is that fighting is considered primal if you're being rude and dumping your inner prejudice and bigotry. Even when it is on social media.

You know why? Because if it were in person, you will take flight. Move on. Ignore. At best, you'd bitch about it behind people's back.

Let's redirect this energy. Not to fight the wild animals. Nor to become a keyboard warrior. But to hone our power of intuition: That gut feeling which springs in the background. And not confuse it with the reactionary response that comes from conditioned mindset. I am talking about the feeling that makes you see the duplicity of whatever is going on.

That my friend… is your primal brain offering a shortcut to the right decision. We've forgotten how to listen to that voice. Or we ignore it as impulsive. Even call it animalistic. Let me give an example - Have you felt like resigning from your job? Don't lie, we all have. But even after whining all the time, and hating it to the core, you continue to go and slog another day. What if the rejection you're feeling from within for the toxic job, that's paying your living, is not worth it? I mean, you're unable to find what would suit you best because that toxic job is taking up all the time. Even the time you need to enjoy the material things you were able to buy because of that toxic job.

How about you Imagine leveraging focus, resilience, and problem-solving skills honed by millennia of survival? I mean survival of the human race. Now apply that native wisdom to today's challenges.

I'll give you another example: You could be drawn to nature and growing food. But you're stuck in a corporate job that drains you out.

The question is: When will you take the step needed to cut the cord?

I'll tell you... The time is now.

Ideals

As humans, we are held accountable for our actions. It's not out of the ordinary, though. We must face the consequences for our actions. Even in the wild, nature's law applies. However, nature is unbiased, and humans aren't. We take refuge in humanity when we miss the mark while imposing our unattainable ideals on each other.

Can we abide by societal rules, follow law, maintain order, and devote unreservedly to our personal and religious beliefs? Not unless we are superhumans. We all fall short of one or many of these demands at some point in our lives. There are always half measures. There are always adjustments. And... There are always exceptions.

The bar of the ideal human in our world is set too high and the tenets are contradictory. You can't do good and expect good if doesn't fall within the bounds of societal rules. Justice is at times not served when compromised by power and money. The law is 'after the fact' and relies heavily on instilled fear to stop a crime from happening. That's why supplemental insurance, surveillance, and security measures are required.

Sadly, justice cannot undo the personal damage, insurance cannot replace sentiments, personal security cannot deter the stupid, fearless, and desperate. The rest of us are forced to survive the gap between casualty and objectivity. We do so by compromising our beliefs to reach our goals, coning the system by using loopholes, compensating the lost integrity by doing charity. Some can do these better than the others, rising in hierarchy.

Is there an ideal human being, then? I don't suppose there can ever be one. We are all doing our best. And even when not everybody's best is good enough, life goes on. So, stop fretting.

Here is an excerpt from Yama Echo Maya to spark your interest.

I decided to pick Shin’s brain. “Tell me, partner. If someone kills anyone for whatever reason. And we, as per law, kill them in turn. Shouldn’t somebody kill us too?”
“By the logic of what now?” Shin was captivated by my theoretical take.
“Isn’t it a cycle that must be completed?”
“I don’t believe the cyclical nature of things applies here. We’re following rules and helping get justice.”
“Legal Code dictates our code. Another code has to be there to take responsibility for our actions. We also have killed or assisted in bringing death to someone. How’s our reasoning any better than the killer’s?”
“Retributive justice?” Shin laughed, slamming my insane logic.
“Eye for an eye is what we do.”
“Legally, not unlawfully, partner.”
“Only because the killer’s side has been rendered wrong based on the rules we made. It would be interesting if a criminal always believes they’re not wrong.” I wiggled my brows to elicit his intellect some more.
“We follow protocols. It’s not about belief.”
“A rationale is always backed by belief, Shin. We justify one way of killing over another, driven by thought-out societal consensus.” I tossed a meta-theory for rendition.
Shin rubbed his chin in amusement. “What about suicide?”
“In the case of suicide, it might be the repetitive cycle of you killing yourself… Over and over again.”
“So if it’s not natural, it keeps going.” Shin grinned ear to ear, though worried for my well-being. “I’m intrigued by your thought process.”

Book Piracy, Metaverse, and Web3

PB Flower — Thu, 3 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

If your book or books have been pirated, stolen or used for AI/machine learning purposes.

Then read this blog.

Let's understand what Metaverse and Web3 are first.

Metaverse is a virtual-reality (virtually enhanced digital reality) space in which users can immerse and interact with a computer-generated environment. There are other users (humans). And before you think it is similar to VR games, let me tell you that metaverse is much more than that. It is a virtual life, that you can live like the real one.

Yes, that day has arrived.

Web3 - is an internet evolution where user controls the exchange of information.

Let's now learn how these two relate to authors.

Books are stolen, pirated or used for AI learning when an author or publication distribute books soliciting ARC readers. Or if the book is enrolled in KU program on Amazon.

Now, Amazon is not going to anything about it. Because we live in an unprotected digital world. If information or data files are not sent via proper channels, it could fall in the hands of people who love to do charity by giving away someone else's stuff.

You want to do charity? How about you give your work for free. Right? Only makes sense.

Sadly, in today's world, when you share information with the others digitally, there is you, the person who will accept it, and then there is a third party or parties in the middle.

Let's say, you want your book to be read in advance by this person you don't know personally. You simply have their email address and social media profile. But you still send your hard work to them in hopes of getting free feedback and create a reader base.

Don't be alarmed yet, because some do what they claim to do as ARC readers. They give you honest feedback and follow you for more such opportunities in the future.

However, there are others, who take it and post it on websites, to be read for free. Or they give it to someone who runs such websites, where legitimate content, that belongs to others, is posted for free consumption.

How would you know who did this to you when you have distributed your ARC to more than one person? You can't. It is not only hard to investigate this cybercrime that no one cares about if you are an indie author. But it is also impossible to find out who conned you because of the way internet works today.

Why?

Most websites don't verify your legitimacy or connect your virtual presence with your physical reality. Because it doesn’t link two transactions that might be related... Such as your book that was digitally stolen but legitimately procured.

With Web3, everything is blockchain-based. Meaning, your ARC receivers are directly bound by a chain of information that connects them to you, your book, and the person they sell it to.

In Amazon's case, it will be by connecting who all consumed and downloaded your product where you didn’t claim DRM or digital rights for your work.

With Web3, they cannot take your information and run with it, without you getting an update. Because blockchain assigns a unique, unchangeable, and verifiable identity to every transaction that is tied to a real person and can be traced to the dot. A thief cannot take your book and end the transaction there if they start another with your book. Your book will have a unique number assigned to it, and wherever it goes it will update the previous chain of events.

Is Web3 technology here? Not yet.

But blockchain is. So, we're getting there.

Also, how is Metaverse related to authors? Well, Metaverse is what fiction books offer, an escape from the real world. It is learning from your books, aiming to offer desired reality to its consumers.

Confused yet? Read my book i$ubscribe, to see why we will subscribe to this virtually enhanced digital reality unknowingly.

Conscious Consumption

PB Flower — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

There is no denying the impact of our consumer choices on the planet and society. We need understand that consumerism is a product of our artificial society. It came about when some of us stumbled upon things they could sell and profit from. And these things weren't necessary for our survival. The invention of electricity gave birth to many useless products like refrigerators, automatic washing machines, dishwashers, and several other gadgets. The whole idea behind it was to save time. And what will you do with this time?

That's something you need to think about. What are you doing with all the time you save from these machines that run on electricity.

Moving on to Understanding Conscious Consumption. It obviously emphasizes on ethical, sustainable, and responsible practices. But if you look closely, most of the burden is on the consumers. First, we were given products that we didn’t need. And then we're told how to use it and dispose it properly. Meanwhile, companies using toxic packaging materials just so they last longer or reaches the consumer in one piece bear no responsibility for its disposal. In fact, they mislead consumers by greenwashing and deceiving marketing tactics. Putting green leaf or the word natural etc. When in reality they need to sprinkle the chemical laden product with something natural, and they can put natural on the label.

Who gave this guideline? Well, these are made by people who have been bought by the product companies. Their lobbyists.

Please checkout Greenwashing index for the latest report on companies using unbelieve tactics to fool people into thinking they are making green products.

The consumers are shown positive environmental benefits of their actions, social impact, and personal impacts of conscious consumption. You'd be surprised how ineffective recycling is. How making and selling unneeded products is polluting the environment. The companies have little to no mandate on production. Things are marketed to tap into your fears and insecurities that have been built by these companies. And we buy into it. Our information comes from the media they control.

The consumers are told to focus on mindful purchasing decisions and reducing environment footprint. It is our job to not buy things. What about the companies that producing tons of stuff and then dumping it away when they are not consumed? Shouldn't any company be liable to show ready consumers before they start manufacturing shit and shoving it down people's throats? I feel the burden is on the ones producing it. They should be fined for making things they can't sell and that can't be composted.

But would that be done? Let's see... The governing body benefits from people starting businesses. Many other businesses profit from it as well. Even if the business is making useless tiny decorative items that have no practical use. Unless we understand the futility in everything except of needed food, required clothing, and minimal shelter, we are part of this mania just as much as the people driving the need to buy are.

So, I agree with mindful purchasing.
