Humans are profoundly social beings. We were not evolved to live in isolation, stalking the forest alone like the tiger; to be forcibly severed from the collective is our greatest torture. Yet, as the great wheels of time spin, we find ourselves in a volatile era of transition. Our society has been hijacked by the most “de-humanized” among us—a fact now surfacing to the point of rupture. This state is unsustainable; its inevitable consequence will be a total transformation of human civilization in the coming years.
This transformation will not arrive gently. You must choose your side: either the path of those who wish to see humanity thrive once again in love, balance, and prosperity, or the path of those who see no bright future and conform to mere survival. The latter cling to illusions created to distract them, but these distractions have become a shattered mirror. They inevitably reflect onto us the disturbing fragmentation pushed by a de-humanized, AI-led society—a system not even programmed to function in peace within its own self-perpetuated prison.
As broken as we may feel, we remain human, conflicted by the many roles forced upon us by a mediatic society. Having grown up in this environment, younger generations have become unable to produce linear, intellectually sound arguments. They can only reproduce fragments of segmented worldviews and ideologies. When attention is lost, continuity vanishes with it, and with it the ability to connect the internal dots to find a purpose, an identity, and a true sense of belonging. Deep down, they know everything is corrupt. The shattered mirror is so vast that they mistake its jagged reflection for the only possible reality. To participate in anything, they feel they must accept being corrupt, broken, and diseased.
Belonging to this shattered mirror means accepting the marks of submission—the tattoos of criminal clans and the symbols of non-belonging. The mirror reveals the remains of an ancient patristic, heteronormative empire from which many no longer wish to belong. Our long martyrdom began centuries ago with the denial of our earthly and sexual natures. The “sacred” became a synonym for a “purity” defined only by pointing out the “impure.” Negating our inner forces, we accepted a world where the requisite for belonging was adopting the pain body of Jesus on the cross. Our sexuality had to be domesticated and made “holy” for us to be seen as enlightened. In this process, our sexual energy is harnessed and siphoned away, taking with it our creative force, our inner child, and our divine creator. We are effectively castrated to fit in.
From this centuries-long path, we have entered the boiling pot of the shattered mirror. Newer generations get a glimpse of everything, but nothing connects. The cross remains, or it is discarded and “otherness” is allowed in—but it is a hollow inclusion. There is no true otherness in the mirror, only fragmented pieces fed to us by digital feeds. Health, vitality, and creative libido are stomped upon. There is no energy, no willpower, and no inspiration to thrive. Even as non-heteronormative sexualities are accepted, they are embraced by those with already destroyed souls and bodies. Everyone is trapped in a demoralized sub-version of themselves.
Few can see outside this prison, and these words are a nest for them. Guidance is only for those who have chosen to know there is a world beyond the glass where plenitude and freedom are possible. For them, this is a medicine path—a transition that brings them closer to the goal as they walk it. This will resonate with whichever part of the journey you are on, explaining the aspects of existence that must be polished and comprehended over time.
Aaj, in its potent masculine nature, keeps things true, visible, and straight—free of curves, shadows, and dead ends. The free will of the past must now become a choice and a commitment. The inner child must grow up and engage with a serious project or craft. Freedom is choice, but an option is not a choice until we commit to carrying it out fully. The younger generations serve as the example of how not to be; they want to try everything, yet everything seems boring or empty. And it is—if the project is bound to a capitalist system currently in demise. There are better creations than those intended only to generate money, and better roles to take than those academic titles allow. Knowing this, we walk the path of non-compliance and deconstruction, allowing wisdom to arrive with the wind.
The time is now to start building something fulfilling. When creative power has been reduced, a blank canvas can feel terrifying, and it may seem that way when you quit the “stimulation diarrhea” of modern society. But the canvas is not blank. We still have the earth, the stars, the rivers, and the trees. There are still cultures and temples that tell a story we can choose to join. In a necessary return of manhood, both men and women must embrace the qualities of this polarity. We must find the “thing” that sparks our interest and dive deep into it. We must set a goal and a path to reach it.
The problem of identity is solved when we exercise our freedom to choose and commit to that choice. The land we defend, the sacred ways we keep, and the skills we develop become our belonging and our purpose. In the noise of today, sticking to our choices—if they are made from our soul and the approval of our inner child—will become the peace and light that will keep us standing straight while the rest of the world is curved down into submission.
