Consciousness = Electricity

Consciousness is electricity. Trust me. The all-empowering, irresistible, unforgiving, deadly honest, all accessible power of perception is electric. Live wires, conductivity, brown outs, black outs, surges – there are dozens of parallels in consciousness.

 

The advent of electricity, you’ll notice, helped herald in the most profound alterations in society. (Not that I would do without it, mind you.) After electricity, we accelerated destruction of the earth, ruined our circadian rhythms, stopped being able so see the night, and grew numb to light.
