I feel like I've found a phrase to describe a general school of thought that's just headache inducing type of stupid. The type of stupid goes like this.

Don't worry, the aliens will come and bring us to 5D and we'll have med-beds and cherries and unicorns.

And the imagery is all over the place in the new age community.

But I think I know what to say to it.

The ideal, even clinging to the ideal, is quite fine. But it does feel engineered. The mediums, the channelers, gaia.com . . . they want you thinking that way. Because it removes you from reality. As long as you can stay dreaming about something disconnected they can keep you from doing any real work toward sensible solutions.

So I think the engineered problem is this: ideal utopia is praised, the intermediary is utterly neglected.

The shift is really not that big of a jump. To think about these 5D med-beds and cherries and unicorns, it's totally fine (and to not even have a clue what the hell they're talking about with this "5D" nonsense) but sort of like having a bunch of plain fruits to your diet and nothing with more protein or substance, you're bound to be sick with its pure singular nutrient. The "meat" is an intermediary that needs to be appreciated. And, really, it is a sort of vector of earning or initiation, like the gauntlet to the pasture.

I often cling to a vision of a civilization that's not necessarily altogether apocalyptic but certainly war-torn to some degree. Where people are subsisting off wild gardens and whatever shelter they can muster between lean-tos, tents, and trailers. It's a mix of wilderness and wreckage, and some wase-lands. You'll notice how the psychological programming of our more recent movies and series have all been centered around bashing this way of life . . . as hard, tortorous, and at least on the bitter edge of futile. The Walking Dead, pretty much all the zombie genres (remember there was like this huge explosion of zombie shows all in the span of a decade. What did everybody wake up and beg crying at the producers to please make us endless zombie shows?) But you see the hidden message there. "It's so futile. You humans are so pathetic look at how you would barely survive. You couldn't handle it." But millennia of agrarian cultures say otherwise. Funny how they insist on making programming that leaves us thinking this kind of lifestyle is nothing but horror.

Anyways the long story short is the progress of collective human psychology will do well to just think about the barebones living with a limited access to technology for a time, rather than sit in the dream of the medbeds and unicorns and strawberries. If I'm stupidly stating the obvious, I'll consider it progress if it's now obvious to the typical reader. I just see a deliberate trap made exactly for those feeble glamour-ridden minds and hopefully it's getting outwitted.
