Pleasure has the power to bring you down,
from the high of creative life
the scatteredness of the online world
To the now.

“To be understood at an energetic level.”
My new wording of what it is I see myself doing, or growing into, does not exactly feel natural yet.
Maybe it never will, I don’t know.
But it does feel as true.

Because with the overload of information available, and our instincts to combat complex situations and problems with adaptable and agile solutions (or with equally complex structures) I foresee the end is either in sight, or already behind us.

There is only one place to return to, and this is our body.
Not the mind, so easily replicated by AI, but the body.

Have you realized how deprived we have become?
In our digital experience we use our eyes, then audio, but our tactile experience is limited to typing.

Just think about the rich experience of taking a music cassette out of the small case;
The touch of a crispy sleeve of a vinyl record;
Or the mechanical sounds of a VHS tape clicking into the player.

I even remember the smell from the music section in the library, because the plastic cover sleeves of the vinyl records had such a peculiar, delicious smell.

I know a building where a rubber wheelchair dorpel over the doorstep makes the whole hallway smell like the building of the primary school I went to, when I was very small.
It’s like a timeportal in scent.

We’re so deprived right now, we’ve lived in a sensatory desert the past decade.
I expect people will look back on the 2020’s and wonder if we didn’t realize our entire physical experience had been marginalized.
Where the richness of life has slipped through our fingers.

Right now, one road leads to us becoming bad robots.
The other to us embracing our physical Self.

And with that?
Our vibration.

ABOUT THE LOST POST SERIES

I have been consistently posting “What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today” for a while now.
Starting June 2023, they found their final form as blogposts here on the Catacombe blog, pretty quickly.

But I’ve always been aware there were singular posts/ borderline poetry, still on social media, floating somewhere down my timeline.

Some at the beginning when I did not know what this series would be.
Some around the time in October/November 2023, when I lost access to this site.
And then a few in between.

And in addition to that there are the ones I did post on the blog, but whose stories revolve around things I no longer offer.
I will retrieve those too;
And give them a new story, that has the timeless quality they deserve.
