Shifting Perception To Gain Perspective.

Humanity Is A Literal Superpower!
I think it’s time we shake things up in our conversation about Humanity. While I’m aware that diverse ideologies and perspectives exist on the topic, the prevailing conclusions of most discussions that come across my ears are often disparaging toward humankind or divisive across cultural, socioeconomic, and generational lines. The implications of such conversations never sit well in my spirit.
Maybe it’s the language being used, but I often get the sense that when people engage in discussions about humanity, they tend to frame it in terms that would be more appropriate for a conversation about being civilized. The way these two terms get used interchangeably promotes the misconception that acting within one's humanity is in some way linked to how civilized someone behaves. But, let's pivot from this notion for a moment and explore a premise that may seem surreal at first but stick with me. An intriguing idea emerges from it, and this shift in perception could unveil fresh insights into the complex tapestry of what it means to be human. Wishing you an immersive and enjoyable reading experience!
With heartfelt gratitude,

Voices of Humanity:
Society's projections can skew our self-perception, making it challenging to define ourselves authentically. To shed light on this journey of self-discovery, here's a powerful and life-affirming quote:
"You are not a drop in the ocean; you are the ocean in a drop." - Rumi
Let these words guide us as we navigate the complexities of our unique Humanity…

Sometimes, the weight around certain themes can be overwhelming. To ease into the exploration of these ideas without added pressure, here's a piece of flash fiction for you to enjoy…
A Bold New Perspective
By Neshamah Crosby-Jones
[Featuring Lucas Park From Humanity Law: A Serialized Novel]
Seedy— the word reverberates in my mind as I hesitate at the entrance of the dimly lit surgical room. I can’t be sure, but it feels like the right word for this foreboding space—a small room tucked away in an abandoned veterinarian office, concealed within a shadowy alley on the outskirts of zone three. Every step I take inside raises doubts and suspicions, especially for someone like me, who has never ventured beyond the comfort of Zone One's Legacy lots before.
In this peculiar space, every sensory cue clashes against reason. Pristine white tiles sparkle underfoot, but the subtle groans heard as I walk hint at concealed wear and an aging floor. The surgical table appears impeccably organized, its contents aligned with precision. Yet, while the gleam of stainless steel instruments on the sterile tray suggests pristine order, the anticipated scent of antiseptic is replaced with the more familiar scent of Eucalyptus and Spearmint—the foundation scent my mother chose for my MVT settings at birth.
Although the surgical drapes appear new, they have a peculiar sag, a subtle dip where they should hang taut. It is as though some unseen force weighs on them. My MVT device carefully orchestrates an illusion, but logic whispers a different story than the scents, sounds, and subtle irregularities beneath the surface—it’s a surgical room that defies the seamless order the MVT seeks to project.
As I lie down on the surgical table, I retrieve two vintage books from my bag, placing them in a metal box as payment for my procedure. In exchange, I retrieve written instructions on how to prep for the surgery. Apprehension knots my stomach, but the urgency to break free from the MVT's augmented reality propels me forward.
The surgeon emerges from a hidden room, his silhouette obscured by the low light, and the word "Seedy" echoes through my mind again. This time like an ominous refrain. It's an alien term, a concept I've only encountered in the sterile perfection of my augmented reality. The MVT has kept me cocooned in a world where imperfections are meticulously erased, where even the grime on a city wall is an illusion. But I’m ready to experience my world for the first time. I lay back on the table and close my eyes.
Challenge To Humanity…
I hope you enjoyed this week's short fiction, featuring Lucas Park from Humanity Law: A Serialized Novel, as he seeks a life-affirming perspective by undergoing surgery to remove his MVT—a perception-distorting device. Fortunately, we don’t need such extremes; a shift in our perception of reality will do. In this week's Humanity Challenge, let's explore a thought-provoking idea challenging our perceptions of Humanity. I invite you to read, ponder, and share your reflections in the comments. I look forward to the shared insights on this transformative journey until our next time…
Yours in hope and humanity,
The Premise
By Neshamah Crosby-Jones
All of existence is woven together by a complex tapestry of independent forces. Each force operates on a frequency unique to itself, yet we rarely acknowledge these forces for their distinct natures. We simply lump them together into a singular concept and call it source energy. While each independent force is an essential component of source energy, they all contribute to that source and, thereby, the whole of existence through varied and distinct frequencies, which we will call attributes.
Now, these attributes establish a self-contained order recognized as an absolute truth, a universal law. These Universal Laws not only govern our reality but also uphold the natural systems that sustain life. Here's where it gets juicy because we do not exist separate and apart from the forces that establish these life-sustaining laws. We are, in fact, each endowed with an inherent measure of these independent forces (source energy). However, in this form, we persist in lumping them together as well, labeling them a soul—the essence of our connection to source energy.
Here is where a powerful quote from the 13th-century Persian poet Rumi comes to mind, and I urge you to keep it in mind as we move forward: "You are not a drop in the ocean; you are the ocean in a drop." Likewise, you have not been endowed with a drop of source energy; you have been endowed with source energy in a drop. You might be wondering what this has to do with Humanity. Consider for a moment that while we confidently recognize and acknowledge the laws of certain forces (gravity, attraction, cause and effect), there are other laws yet to be acknowledged as such that continue to govern all life anonymously. For example, Love, Peace, Joy, and, yes, Humanity.
I believe these are not mere terms or constructs; they are the independent forces comprising source energy. Love, dismissed by many as just a term, actually stands as an independent force with its attributes and established laws crucial to the life-sustaining fabric of existence. Peace, often treated as a mere philosophical concept, is another independent force we regard as significant, yet we fail to recognize its crucial bearing on life. So why do I say that Humanity is a literal superpower? Because, like Love and Peace, I submit that Humanity is an independent force with its attributes and established laws that sustain life.
While these forces may differ in attributes, they share a vital common feature—they produce miracles. When fully surrendered to them, the measure of these independent forces we possess is activated, enabling us to experience the miracles these attributes produce and, more excitingly, empowering us to produce miracles as well. So, it's imperative that we acknowledge these anonymous life-sustaining laws as the independent forces they truly are because, when we disregard them in ourselves and in each other, we also witness them diminish in the Earth. We simply cannot afford for Humanity Law to dwindle away.
