//RECORDING PERIOD/ /
I am witnessing a world where even the most sacred relics of being a human are violated in plain sight. It is sickening in the stomach to experience the pain. The natural is amplifying it to new levels. The travel has been energy-consuming, dizzying, and many unknown sensations.
To see our ancestors being fed over the digital feed, like a chicken feasting on their own… a clear indication of the cannibalistic spell. Since we have the vision for it, walking on the streets is per-seeing the energy drain. Even analog-ovi devices have been rubbed off the addiction to speed, electricity; they require energy now too, either being turned into art or demanding reinvention. All times are awakening. To make a book by hand, or get on foot, seems largely consuming for our ancestors, yet, they fly in the sky in mechanical machines requiring so much effort and resources.
This time travel trend is about helping us with a particular shade of darkness on light like this artifact from Codex Gigas.
– accessed in archives. It is the purpose of our generation, but no one knows what happens after we all merge with the ancestors. there have been for a first time stories of why move in the past when we had it figured out. My teacher says it is a sign that the change has begun, the slipping of doubt, of thinking we are in control of the process, when it will be randomly organized (//memory note to automatic systems: stop trying to write with “s”//).
The change was official with a training community on Turtle Island or Canadiana in 2026. On the shores of Georgian Bay, it was discovered that we have entered an environment of self-destruction. Peace suddenly became a commodity, but in an inverted way. We needed to immediately calm down and slow down. The evil stood still too. Noone expected it! It started with discovering the subtle, yet aggressively reproductive movements of fleas in on Turtle Island. Steps in the snow in seconds were covered with small black specs. My grandmother discovered the fleas light-years away, but we learn from her and the council every day in school… how the change in environment happens within us first, how we hologram it out as the storyteller. Today we no longer wish the environment to change, we experience it with all our senses and cells and have repaired the acceptance broken in the 14th century on. Internal seeing is one of my most favourite experiences in school, because you can build and test transmission with inner vision in any shape and form imaginable.
Working with trends is a method of decoding traumatic relations with generational connection. It was invented before our time, and we now practice it freely. Almost extinct, many ancient practices were found neatly organized in an overlooked medieval technology. A time capsule from the future. Technology which didn’t require electricity or hardware, it transmitted peace, loud and bright, to this date. Similar practices have existed in alchemy, Homeopathy, in various movements from the past. So our ancestors have placed a great deal on sharing alternative seeing of the field of acoustics and energy.
Arim’s present is of a human being with deeper awareness of the environment and slower at first sight movement. She is not enhanced by mechanical or material influences; Western culture may mistake her for a super hero or mutant, but she is neither. Antiquity may wish to call her Hera, Hekate, yet it is not just who she is. We have traced Arim in artifacts spanning across thousands of years, and she is unmistakably there, but is neither of the forms they take!
One day, on her way to school, Arim fell through space without intention. Shaken in her cells, she was about to meet her grandmother for the first time- Arim has entered a family-al trend.
Arim leads a team of travellers, which grows into a council of guardians over the centuries. Their knowledge of stories is what allows them to make leaps into time and space – fulfilling their origin story.
…this is a story we are monitoring close, we look forward to having you here again for the next transmission…
