"I’m not surprised this superbly performed, gorgeously shot film didn’t do well at the time of its release because its target is America’s fragility as a nation." #America #Capitalism #Utopia #Dystopia #Tech #Arrogance #Prescience
Just started reading Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower & so far I'm in awe of & chilled by her prescience.
And, no, I don't know how I'm just reading it now, but better late than never. She was such a remarkable writer.

It takes prescience to have presence in a society that lacks self awareness.

Divide and

Bent rays on

The more you acquire abilities of response, you will #empower your experience.
The more you #transcend the need to react, the more you will empower your abilities of response.
The more you #multidimensionally #perceive your presence, the more your #prescience grows. You become more present. You actually become present as you transcend your presence.
You are not yourself. You are that which may or may not be currently projecting a self to experience with.
"The Machine Stops" is only one of the classic SciFi gems covered by the BBC in this series. Low budget production, but top notch artistry and writers now legendary. Highly recommended.
