De-evolution, poetry and prose by Leon Gregori
Updated: Jul 5, 2023
Have you ever had one of those random moments where you just think, how did we get here? What are we doing? If you do I hope you can relate. I get these thoughts a lot and perhaps, like you, I ponder over it like I'm going to solve the secrets of humankind's place in this universe!
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 that favors 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 learnt 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 2ft 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 number and that's only 4 digits! Me? Move a rock? Manifest my desires? Some how 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!
De-evolution
Egyptian's, Mayans
The great civilizations
Way back when
Way back then
Out of nowhere
(Relatively)
They start building pyramids
(Literally)
Moving gargantuan stones and rocks
Calculating
Maths
And clocks
Precise measurements
Pinpoint precision
Feats of engineering
Innate intuition
They changed the face
Of humanity
They set the bar
Of who we are to be
Prosperity
Art
Society
Begin
Build
Legacy
A beacon
A light
Of what we could become
Planet masters
The best bar none
With no tech they mastered this
No help
They started this
Or maybe
Who knows
Hieroglyphs
We know
We've studied
And wondered
Marveled
Reveled
To this day we visit
Their stunning legacy
And so what next for us
This new humanity
What is next
What shall we see
Well I guess the Egyptians
Were the spark
They were the start
We learnt
And built
Enhanced their teachings
We built new empires
Brilliant and fleeting
For bad or worse
For good or better
We learnt from their laws
We still write their letters
But for us
Now maybe
The de evolution has begun
For way back when
Some dude pops up and says hey
Let's build a pyramid
That will take over a thousand years
Untold wealth
Staggering masses of humanity
Tremendously incredible engineering
And a future proof structural integrity
For all of humanity
To revel and see
Now I wonder
What is meant to be
Are we now losing our abilities
Enslaved to technology
Is this digital world
The future story
For have we left behind
Our powers to compute
In our minds with no assistance
Have we now embraced a time
Where 'virtual' has no resistance
Is this our new
Shared existence
AI is aligned
And will only get stronger
And the thoughts that we once thought
Get lesser and lesser
With less need to compute
There is less need to think
An even lesser need
To use pen and ink
So transfer your thoughts
To the online device
Free your mind
From those stresses and vice
Let the screen takeover
This mini computer
It is what we need
We need it the most
So with my free mind
I remembered to see
A time I remember
Of how it used to be
Before the internet you see
We had no ability
To be connected
In any way
I remember payphones
Were the only way
You would remember phone numbers
Like it was your last day
For you had to memorize
To check in or seek help
11 digit numbers
Etched into mind
Now tech came along
And freed that mind
Tech came along
Oh so kind
And the friendly tech
Can store and replace
The friendly tech
Can copy and paste
Now I can't even remember
A four digit code
That comes on a drop down
To be entered below
I copy and paste
For fear of forgetting
And getting it wrong
So I guess in some ways
We have
We have devolved
Numbed down
Just a little
Subservient to our master
Not the government
But the tech pastors
Preaching their desires
Playing their worth
We evolved out of nowhere
Got whacked with the intelligent stick
Time to pass on the baton
We have run our race
Let the tech takeover
And take our place

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 was possible) for it.
Learning to understand is literally translation for POTENTIAL. Potential because every moment has potential should the desire to activate it be uncovered. The process is only hard until it is not! 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 wizard of oz walking hand in hand with my true love down some sort of yellow brick road with birds fluttering and criss-crossing 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!

So thanks for dropping by and letting me share, maybe even plant a few thoughts amongst the pastures of your day. Enjoy the deep dive or continue in your stride... either way, thanks for your time!
