Up to speed – recap

In a previous post, I mentioned that some of my early instructions included studying philosophers whose views on reality resonated with an eventual, real-time experience. I was being guided and coached to maintain awareness and overcome fear, even when immersed in an alternate timeline. These thinkers challenge our conventional perceptions of the world, consciousness, and existence. They reject a static, deterministic view in favor of a dynamic process: Hegel’s dialectical development, Sartre’s emphasis on subjective freedom, and Camus’ recognition of existential absurdity.

My guides seem to be pushing me toward this same reality-expanding perspective—one that embraces fluidity and understands time and existence as far more dynamic than we’ve been conditioned to believe. Their lessons encourage us to view reality as an evolving tapestry, where the boundaries of time and self are permeable, inviting continual growth and transformation.

I want to make this perfectly clear: No matter how much they pushed, guided, or hinted, I could never have imagined the full scope of the real-time experiences that ultimately unfolded.
