Welcome to the Book

Things have changed recently, and the past isn’t coming back. These times are here to stay.

Despite having read all the instruction manuals from the philosophers of the past, we find ourselves stumbling and staggering in the very place that they warned us about. Something has changed since 2020, and while we can say that it was changing rapidly ever since we started using phones, this change was the final nail in the coffin. The old ways of life were dead. The past reality - a peaceful, contemplative, calmer form of life was dead for most of us.

We have entered the Kali Yuga.

Things aren’t as they were before. The corporate, like the religion has entered politics and we are excessively being controlled and modified to think and believe in a fashion that is acceptable by god-knows-who. Is it the machine, as thinkers of past have imagined, or is it merely our ignorance?

If its our ignorance to view the world while it is changing, then we must hurry and put our witness hats and be neutral while watching the change. Else we stand to be fed an endless supply of consumer goods through the black screens which are totally out of our control.

If we don’t so, where will we end up?

What I do here

When I was a teenager, I believed that all my problems were outside. I wanted to travel to the far and wide corners of the world to find meaning to this endless void that I was trapped in. I wondered why this world was at war at all times. I wanted to be a peace-maker; I wanted to be the activist who would change the world.

Things changed drastically when I arrived in England in the fall of 2019. I felt like I was cruising over a wave of activism and change. But along the way as I joined this wave of activism, I realised that many people were only there because they wanted to merely feel good about themselves. People who were primary contributors to the ecological damage thought that a green-washing of thoughts and protests could give them a feeling of accomplishment. Many people joined the protest, because it meant that they had a collective around them. I ran as far away as I could from this world of Activism and Change.

Now, it was 2020, time for a glitch in the human evolution. I was a 22 yo student at the University of Gloucestershire when the covid pandemic hit the United Kingdom. Humanity was shutting itself down. This glitch showed the reality of this world to many people, they went inwards, and many got even more caught up in the drama. It was a shocking time for me, as everyone I knew, had left the university halls. I was stranded in a huge property with empty rooms, a bunch of books and a single friend to discuss things and meet physically.
