The Internet is morphing into a counterfactual reality for many I now assume, based on evidence in my own life.

What kind of World would think to rename the Bern(burn)stein(steen) Bears to Beren(barren)stain is beyond me. English language comes across as disruptive, dis-associative, confused, controlled. Homonyms have psychological ramifications. I think it is abusive each time we euphemistically rename a thing: we lie and distort, losing meaningful discourse in the process. Learn the True names of things.

Learn another language, I say. One that is not mutable and transfixed thru the passions. This one is doomed. And this digital landscape is indoubitably delusional as a dwelling for the mind: creating an indwelling of you within it. It dissolves all barriers: emotional, physical, and psychological. Be mindful, or this World becomes more real to you, and subsequently distorts the light into dark. I can say that it is a tool, easily malleable, almost magic. It is a great alchemical chamber and has great power to convert, subvert, and render things inert. It transmutes the passions or usurps them. It can do great harm, and lasting harmony.

The distinction for children is paramount - for humans on a large scale: the difference in-between worlds both artificial and mundane. It is evermore important to spot this, lest we lose ourselves to the circumstances of the moment, and our energy dissipated to its sorcery.

One cannot escape the wisdom of Hayao Mihazaki in this world of betweens. Never forget there is a deeper magic, that of love and personal sacrifice, and it is that which unites Heaven and Earth, Heaven or Hell. Don't remain in the World of Spirits long without ample protection and safeguards.

Guard your hearts here forevermore: it is a psychic space and can control you if you attach yourself to it instead of the realness of earth; becoming lost in the clouds, spiralling into chaos.

You must find the path that connects sky and earth, melding heart to heart, that is how to save mankind now. The Internet is a rainbow bridge, but where it takes you... Who is to know but you. Know thyself first. Don't replace yourself with No-Self or False Self when you leave this space.

Read less artifice and eat more substance. Cannot help but feel as Theoden on his Throne, throwing off his ensorcellment... That is my New Year resolution. Thank You Gandalf, Master of Grey. Be in this World, but not of it.

Fear this Creature above all others, He is a Wounded Child, know his heart lest you become defiled, redirect his mind with care, compassion, and kindness: https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=No Face Spirited Away gif&qs=n&form=QBIR&pq=no face spirited away gif&sc=8-21&sp=-1&sk=
