The numinous frontier…

Emanations. *** ...our entire society loves to dissociate because it's painful to be here not knowing what the heck is going on. Dissociation is a legitimate coping mechanism but coming to consciousness requires understanding when we do it -- at the very least. And heck yeah, I feel like an alien too...most of us do...hence...
