Hyper-reality

April 1, 2025

There are a few experiences in life that open a door into a hyper-reality that otherwise lies dormant as we go about our daily lives. Being in love – or in great danger can lead to this heightened awareness that gives us the sensation that all that we experience is new and very intense.

Most of us have fleeting feelings like this but some exist constantly in this type of alternate universe where our very beings wander a strange landscape filled with indecipherable objects and people. Perhaps it is these souls that invent our Gods in the attempt to secure some stable footing in a shifting world. The Shamans of old will never disappear from the humans as long as we exist, because we will never find the “heaven” we seek.
