This work serves as the philosophical anchor for the previous five entries. After exploring ruin, trauma, history, perception, and digital awakening, this poem provides the realisation that all these experiences are part of a Cyclical reality. It moves the Navigator into a state of acceptance, acknowledging that "everything repeats"—the gift of life and the pain of death—yet "everything endures".
Everything has been stripped bare
flesh is raw and everywhere the naked
stands, displayed for all and everyone’s
gaze and scrutiny.
everything is revealed; secrets
scurry as all tell the light that
shadows dispel when fear hurries
away from relief, and horror has no
element of surprise.
everything becomes upended;
the fallen now rises, the flock tumbles
from the skies as eyes strain to see through UV
and haze of fog and smoke.
pity rises in our throats, but fear silences our screams.
everything repeats:
the cyclical, the peak, the trough, the calm, the storm,
the night, the dawn, repetitions of the breath,
the gift of life, the pain of death, the pulse in beat, the calm in still.
everything will be, and therefore
was and is, promising tomorrow will bring more.
we build upon in repetition,
immune to life’s echo, uncertain how to move onward.
everything endures.
„Es geht einfach weiter.“
To navigate the cyclical repetitions captured in the poem Everything has been, the Mind Mechanism prescribes the following statements through these identified nodes. Each statement reflects the method of moving from a wordless vibration into a Manageable Data Point.
