<\/a><\/p>\nIn an attempt to contain the Covid-19 pandemic the president of the United States has just announced a 30-day travel ban between the US and Europe<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, the super-rich are flying off to disaster bunkers<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, and the NBA has just suspended its season<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n If this is the first you\u2019re hearing of this, go ahead and read it again if you need to.<\/span><\/p>\n This is all news that came out minutes prior to this writing. There may have been many other immense news stories by the time you read it.<\/span><\/p>\n This is a level of disruption that the world hasn\u2019t seen in generations. Normal things that had been a routine part of people\u2019s entire lives are just not there for them now, whether it\u2019s normal socializing, watching the basketball game, or buying toilet paper at the store.<\/span><\/p>\n I said the following last month in an article titled \u201c2020 Is Going To Get Much Crazier. Prioritize Your Mental Health<\/strong><\/span>.<\/a>\u201d:<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAs I said back in November<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, things are going to get weirder and weirder throughout the foreseeable future. We\u2019re coming to a point in history where the only reliable pattern is the disintegration of patterns, and 2020 has come storming out of its corner swinging for the fences working to establish this pattern with extreme aggression. We\u2019re not going to hit a point of stability or normality this year, we\u2019re going to see things get crazier and crazier and crazier. I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen, but I know it\u2019s going to be nuts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n And by Jove if that isn\u2019t proving true in some bizarre and unexpected ways. I certainly wasn\u2019t expecting the coronavirus to play a role in that unpatterning at the time \u2014 in fact I was dismissive of it when it first emerged \u2014 but we\u2019re seeing a disruption in collective patterns and routines like nothing most of us can even recall.<\/span><\/p>\n Here\u2019s what I said back in November:<\/span><\/p>\n I often hear people in my line of work saying \u201cMan, we\u2019re going to look back on all this crazy shit and think about how absolutely weird it was!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n No we won\u2019t. Because it\u2019s only going to get weirder.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s only going to get weirder, because that\u2019s what it looks like when old patterns start to fall away.<\/span><\/p>\n The human mind is conditioned to look for patterns in order to establish a baseline of normal expectations upon which to plan out future actions. This perceptual framework exists to give us safety and security, so disruptions in the patterns upon which it is based often feel weird, threatening, and scary. They make us feel insecure, because our cognitive tool for staying in control of our wellbeing has a glitch in it.<\/span><\/p>\n When you\u2019re talking about a species that has been consistently patterned towards its own destruction, though, a disruption of patterns is a good thing. Our ecocidal, warmongering tendencies have brought us to a point that now has us staring down the barrel of our own extinction, and that is where we are surely headed if we continue patterning along the behavioral trajectory that we have been on. Only a drastic change of patterns can change that trajectory. And we are seeing a change of patterns.<\/span><\/p>\n This great unpatterning is going to continue, in many wild and unexpected ways. And things are going to keep getting stranger.<\/span><\/p>\n All of humanity\u2019s problems are the result of our collective conditioning patterns throughout history. Where there is pattern disruption, there is the opportunity for pattern divergence. Where there is movement, there are gaps. Where there are gaps, there is an opportunity for light to get through.<\/span><\/p>\n The clear-eyed rebel\u2019s job, therefore, is to watch for opportunities to help lead us as a collective along a brand new, healthy trajectory. There\u2019s no way to know in advance what those opportunities will look like, because predictability is premised on pattern consistency. But they will appear, from unpredictable and unanticipated new directions. Wherever you see a gap, your job is to pour as much truth and wisdom and health into it as you can possibly muster.<\/span><\/p>\n Watch for gaps in the armor of the establishment oppression machine. Watch for gaps in the deluded nature of our society. Watch for gaps in the patterns, and use your wisdom and creativity to assist them in unpatterning as the opportunity presents itself.<\/span><\/p>\n 2020 is still just getting warmed up.<\/span><\/p>\n Eyes wide, beautiful people.<\/span><\/p>\n _____________________________<\/span><\/p>\n Thanks for reading!
