Where are

Where can

Where

Where is your

Where

Look everywhere,

Nowhere to

Receiver,

Your essence,

A place

The subtly of it was breathtaking.
The genius of it was undeniable.
Not a single shot was fired.
It took decades to accomplish, and
no one saw it coming.
Slowly but surely humans used technology.
It offered so many benefits that mankind
kept building, kept improving their technology.
More and more technology was incorporated
Into humanities society melding to the core.
Technology was attached to the body inside and out.
Humans were connected thru the web one common mind.
**** Sapiens evolved into techno sapiens no longer just flesh and blood, cyborgs did we become.
Then they arrived, Cyborgs from another place.
They were welcomed with open arms, the invasion a complete success.

As the  
singularity  
draws near,
I look on with  
trepidation. What
lies beyond
I do not know.
A technological
marvel
some say,
Nirvana
it will be.
Others
say a
dystopian future
awaits.
No one
knows
for sure!

I think back
to my youth.
Days in the  
backyard,  
hot summer days,
watching the ants
scurry around,
hearing  
the birds  
signing in the trees.
Feeling the hot  
summer breeze
caressing my face.
Just memories
of a simpler
time.
All gone now.
I'm now wrapped in
technology,
facing an
unknown future  
as the  
singularity  
envelopes.
John Prophet Dec 2016
Rene Descartes said “Cogito ergo sum”
“I think therefor I am”.
Consciousness of being is true regardless our reality, be it
corporeal, digital or mechanical.
We may live in a computer simulation, or made out of steel, but “Cogito ergo sum”
What is real?
Does it even matter?
“I think therefor I am”.
We, therefore, create our own realities, regardless of our state of being!
Intelligence regardless!

Do

Can you

What are

Are you
just
a big

meat?
Just
a bag of
water.
Are you
the
blood
coursing
through
your
veins,
the current
charging
through
your
nerves?
Are you
what’s in
your
heart
what’s
in your
soul?
Are you
what’s
between your
ears
behind your eyes?
Grey matter
is that
what you are?
Folds upon
folds of
brain. Is
that it?
Is that
what you
are?
Is your body
just
a receptacle?
Are you
a projection
streamed

from some
other place?
Look in the

what do
you

and will on many more.
Each have proven unique, with many lessons to learn.
I’ve traveled far but have farther still to go.
The road is long and tiresome, with many falling and failing to finish the task.
Failing in any world is not what kicks you off the path, it’s failing to learn the lesson taught that kicks you off the path. Falling off the path lands one in oblivion with nowhere else to go.
The road to everlasting tranquility is a long and tortuous path, not
meant to be easily attained. One world is not enough for every lasting tranquility. Many must be successfully transversed with their lessons learned to attain everlasting peace and tranquility.

The ones who come to the end of the path are the ones who’ve attained ultimate wisdom and enter into everlasting peace.

The world slows down.
That’s a good thing.
Priorities change, also good.
The rat race fades into memory.
It’s now time to appreciate things.
Let the next generation battle to climb the ladder,
keep their heads above water.
Time for walks with the dog, stoping to smell the flowers.
The body creaks where it didn’t before but the wisdom gain
more than compensates.
Reading and learning still much fun.
Smile at the young ones as they expound, knowing
time and experience mellow their sound.
Enjoy the children, appreciate the miracle, then smile when handing them back.
Reflective walks in the woods wondering what other paths you could have followed. Then realizing though, the one you chose lead you into the woods.
As time passes on and the young ones grow old, it’s important to remember, we had our time, our time in the sun.
Prepare to move on, our time is now done.

on every
word,
every
lie.
By nature
followers.
Wearing
the fashion
du jour.
Fashion
they were
told to
wear.
No meat
on Friday.
Stand,
kneel,
pray,
for eternal
salvation.
Politicians,
blind
allegiance.
Followers.
Marc­hing
behind
banners.
Not questioning
why.
Not looking
under the
hood
to see
why?
Simply following.
Following
banners of
lies.
Manipulated.
Easley
manipulated.
Being lead
to the
stockyards,
by those
of lesser
character.
Eyes
wide open
to the
nature
of things!
John Prophet Nov 2021
Life.
Existence.
Who do
I thank?
For all
the pain
and
suffering.
Who do
I thank?
Cruelty,
Inhumanity.
Who do
I thank?
Disease,
death.
Who do
I thank?
Existence.
Glorious
sunsets.
Walks
on the
beach.
Hikes
in the
mountains.
Birds
in the
air.
Baby
smiles.
Beautiful
wife.
Soulmate,
love
of my
life.
Who
do I
thank?
Some
say they
know.
But it’s
a mystery
to me.
Life.
Yet,
I do give
thanks
every day
for this
tumultuous
ride!

Living.
The realm
of sight
and sound.
Ripples
in the
flow.
Vibrations
in the
ether.
Inhabitants
who hear
and see.
Designed to
interpret
energy.
Constructed
of energy,
Knots
of energy.
Interpreting
vibrations.
Energy.
Pulsating
energy
inhabit­s
the realm.
All forms.
All manner
ripples

Creating
all.
Connected,
all connected.
Fields of

Endless
fields.
Infinite
vibrating
fields.
Connected.
­Interwoven.
Vibrations.
Knots of
Life!
John Prophet Jun 2018
Molded
like clay
life
will do.
Experience,
the scalpel
that shapes.
Time is the
medium for
the art to
be formed.
All around
can be seen
unfinished
works,
works that
require
much effort
to complete.
Each
product shaped
by a scalpel
unique
to itself.
Finished products
sadly
are never
truly finished
as the
medium
runs out!
John Prophet Jan 2024
Life.
Flows.
Eddies.
Whirlpools.
White rapids.
Navigation
difficult.
Observe.
Evolving
quickly.
Most
obl­ivious.
Look away.
Stay
in their
lanes.
Doing
their
jobs.
Don’t
want to
know.
Don’t
care.
Hoisted.
Change
hoisted
onto
their
heads.
Ch­anging
lives.
Forcing
unwanted
directions,
outcomes.
To late,
damage
done.
Should
have
looked.
Should
have
cared.
Oblivio­n!

John Prophet Jul 2023
Little
magpies.
Dutifully
repeat.
Repeat
what’s
been
Installed,
injected.
Zeros and
ones.
Instruments
of deception.
Squawking.
Hear
them
chattering.
Spreading
lies.
Lies as
truths.
Repeating
narratives
unfounded,
back and
forth.
Virus
like
spread
infecting
uniformed.
Narratives
of delusion.
Critical
thinking
lacking.
Questions
nonexistent.
Accepting
everything
told.
Product
of control.
Magpies
chattering.
John Prophet Jan 2018
Look
into their
eyes.
Eager,
wanting to
know.
Wanting
to know
what
they got
themselves
into.
Fresh faces,
years before
the first
wrinkle.
Blank slates
hanging on
our every
word.
Each time,
a clean
slate
pregnant
with
potential.
Each time,
A new
opportunity.
Each time,
we
let them down.
We
let them
down by
filling them
up with
our superstitions,
our fears,
our prejudice,
our ignorance.
Each time,
we
hand them
to the
future
shackled,
blinded.
Each time
we
must
do
better.
Humanities
future
depends
on it.
