This poem forms part of my Out of the Shadows collection. It was written before I met Jenn and is shaped by searching, heartbreak, identity, and survival.

Have you ever looked at the marvels of ancient civilizations and wondered, ‘How did they do it?’
From the precision of the pyramids to the cosmic alignment of ancient wells, our ancestors achieved feats that still leave us in awe.
But have we, in the age of technology, lost something profound in ourselves?
These questions form the core of De-evolution—a reflection on humanity’s journey, our potential, and the powers within us.
All the while I marvel at the brilliance of our ancestors and all they achieved, from the Sumerians to the Egyptians and all of the other civilizations that have advanced humanity.
How did they achieve the things they did? Did they have help from the outside? Or did they tap into their INSIDE and use abilities we don't even know we have?

Jenn and I have talked at length many times about these so-called 'abilities.'
From manifestation to energy to vibes, there are just so many ways we can change our realities without any dependence on others.
We are fooled into the notion that we need our governments and society to flourish, but the truth is that as a collective, we favor the few on behalf of the many.
Yet there is something that can change the game. Something innate inside of us that, once tapped into, can LITERALLY change, shape, and mold our lives into whatever we desire.
Now THAT is something that the 'few' have learned how to suppress in us. From the outside!

Is it possible to carve, lift, and shift a giant rock that weighs 300 tonnes like at Baalbek (Lebanon) as part of a construction project? Thousands of years ago? Could it be possible?
Maybe the question is not HOW they moved it. More like why.
For example, 3000 years ago, people constructed a well at Santa Cristina that is aligned with a solar event that occurs once every 18 and a half years.

When the moon is at its highest point in orbit, it does so directly above this place, shining through a 2 ft hole to illuminate a perfectly cylindrical well into a glowing white magical chamber.
There are so many questions attached to the reasons this place exists, but back to my point. Like damn, they were using their MINDS to do all this stuff I could barely even do in my dreams.
I can just about remember my PIN, and that's only 4 digits! Me? Move a rock? Manifest my desires? Somehow figure out how to build a place that could do who knows what?
Well, that's a fantasy, a movie, a pipe dream. So they say. But perhaps there was once a time when these powers were unimpeded...
Life begets life. Energy becomes energy. It is by spending oneself that one becomes rich - Sarah Bernhardt
So this piece is about the connection to our past, our connection with technology today, and how we can change our realities in the future.
We have the power within us, and even if modern living does not encourage that, we can still find it if we search deeply enough! I hope you enjoy the read!
I believe we have powers beyond our wildest dreams that are vulnerable to being suppressed and dumbed down.
I know that is no groundbreaking notion, but that's where the poem went towards the end! Tech, fluoride, haircuts, food, and water... so many channels into us that can dampen our powers (so I am told).
Yet I have come to truly believe in manifestation and positive energy, and I genuinely feel desires coming into being every day.
I am no expert, and I credit these discoveries entirely to Jenn! I love her even more (if that were possible) for it.
Learning to understand is the translation for POTENTIAL. Potential, because every moment has potential. I should have the desire to activate and uncover it.
The process is only hard until it isn't! To this day, I often struggle to believe I have the life I do. Waking up to new vibes every day with the love of my life is a path I imagined in the far reaches of my mind when I was younger.
A place like the Wizard of Oz, walking hand in hand with my true love down some sort of yellow brick road with birds fluttering and crisscrossing above our heads as the clouds part to reveal a rainbow!
That was some dream, but now it IS my reality with Jenn, and what's more, our traveling and path IS the yellow brick road!

What do you think? Have we traded too much of our humanity for modern convenience, or does technology simply amplify what’s already within us?
