These times have all of us "daytripping along the edge of oblivion".
In physical terms "oblivion" comes if, and when, the collective west [America, Britain, EU, etc] pushes onto a nuclear conflict in Ukraine. The probability of that happening is either high or low depending on what media you are locked into. For myself... I believe it is not probable; however, the fact that it is spoken about at all is a key reason that we are teetering on the edge of the "oblivion".
In mental terms "oblivion" comes to us all when governments [here, there, and everywhere] mandate what you are allowed to think, do, and believe in. Within this realm of "oblivion" you are not allowed to think for yourself. You are not allowed to speak your thoughts if they do not conform with the government's narrated dictates or do not comply with mandates attached to the propaganda that is regularly spewed forth by the authorities and their compliant media. You will think that those who have not filled in their Covid-19 vaccine dance card are anti-social agents who display all the elements of disrespect, anarchy, and lawlessness. You will wear a mask in all situations as a signal of compliance with authoritarian laws and/or as a talisman that come with your membership in this totalitarian clique. In addition... you will adopt the legislated rules that control your daily habits.
What this means is "you need a brain [mind] that can outthink our times" [see photo].
Start with your independent thoughts [I stress independent thoughts] and the creative images these foretell about your future given the threat of "oblivion". If you can cultivate an independent mind then you will construct a viable strategy for the future no matter how the proximity of "oblivion" impinges on your needs. Given you have a strategy that is cognizant of "oblivion" you can develop a unique "context" for all your individual needs. This unique context will empower you to best assess your past actions, your present habits, and your future options. The results from such an analysis will likely clash with those held by your familial and others who traverse your lives.
Remember... I warned you that: "you need a brain [mind] that can outthink our times".
Richard.
