For Someone Extremely Intuitive. Witch and Scythe //// from the Comments. 9:57 “Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self esteem, make sure you’re not in fact just surrounded by A-holes” - William Gibson.. and What a gem, I wish I had this wisdom years ago..... /////... And ancestral memory>>> "we have remnants of ancestral memory, that we have carried" and that can be coming up to heal .... Absolutely agree. Recently I have been returning to, to provide healing to a freshly uncovered wound, that has 'come back to life' in memory, it has disturbed me, rightly enough, to ' sit with it and see' where it has been lying in me, an undiscovered bone buried in the memory of a known backstory. A story that goes back to my grandmother and her mother. And is hauntingly sad, for both a young mother who died very sick, and the baby she couldn't look after. The details are unspeakably sad and speak of the times, and the conditions of human 'life and death', the 'memories' that are carried through then, in the vessels of the skin and bones. Psychically It has been a burning coal, unwittingly affecting the descendants who carry the story in varying degrees... This is amazing confirmation and validation for me while I spend time on healing this where it lies within me...Michaela .//// As descendants when we look back, we are their future looking back, trying to make sense of it all...." "The future is there... looking back at us. Trying to make sense of the fiction we will have become." — highlighting the reflective nature of progress and culture." William Gibson. ///

And the quote at 9.57? It is from William Gibson, a Copilot Search offers: "The future is already here — it's just not evenly distributed." William Gibson, a seminal figure in science fiction, is known for his insights on technology, society, and the human experience. Some of his most memorable quotes include: "The future is there... looking back at us. Trying to make sense of the fiction we will have become." — highlighting the reflective nature of progress and culture. XXX 1 "Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation." — from Neuromancer, introducing the concept of cyberspace. XXXX 1 "Time moves in one direction, memory in another." — a meditation on perception and memory. XXXX 1 "Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes." — a witty observation on social context and mental health. XXXX 1 "When you want to know how things really work, study them when they're coming apart." — emphasizing learning through deconstruction and failure.

XXXX 1 "The street finds its own uses for things." — reflecting on human ingenuity and adaptation. XXXX 1 "I think I'd probably tell you that it's easier to desire and pursue the attention of tens of millions of total strangers than it is to accept the love and loyalty of the people closest to us." — a commentary on human attention and relationships.
