Sometimes stagnant percepts are born out of fear, of the instability, that is created by an increasing awareness, of the process of creation. This could occur if one's career/survival might be threatened by the appearance of a lack of inconsistency between the course that was previously plotted, and agreed to by investors, publishers, creditors, and peers, and where exploration is actually leading to.

This is also known as a fear of making mistakes.

People get up in your face, when their money is on the line. So essentially, collective fear is ruling the roost. Which is the same as saying, each of us are participating in our own enslavement. As well as retardation of our own individual, and collective, evolution of consciousness.

Fear is the one behind the curtain, pulling the levers, and pushing the buttons, that give rise to the great and powerful awe(z)...

Fear can prevent you from moving forward, to your own detriment. An example of a counter idea to this situation is, "you can't make money without spending money." A universal expression similar to this is, "you must give, to be re-given." It is possible that you have been giving, and not been re-given to, by another. It is possible that you think you have been giving, when in fact you have not. There are lots of variables at play.

With this type of mental knotting, the scientific percepts remain rigid and grid-locked, because of fear of inability to survive, if one follows the truth, and acts on it.

The financial ties that bind us, are a self-inflicted catch-22, where individual panic has created a collective population panic. A deer-in-the-headlights moment, ..if ..you ..will.

We can also try being a little more casual in our interactions, whereby an easing up off the throttle of time, could give each of us greater breathing room, elbow room if you will to do.

Taking time to research and explore our situation, both individually and collectively is not a bad thing. It just might allow for some fresh ideas that could create a win-win situation.

This is really about moving from one position to another. A shift in perception. Unpacking your baggage.
