 Clear takes. Plain old truth. Right in front of you. Not playing dress-up. How frontal and unpleasant! Consider this the first phase of the intervention. You're caught in the illusion inception from the subjective conception. Stuck on a dope drunk sideways-spiraling trip. Have you reception? We're here to reel you back to the rails of reality again.

**Clear takes. Straight up. Plain old truth.** No paddings. No filters. Rivetingly fresh and direct. Then what is this truth of yours? But it's not the truth of mine. It's the truth of mine and yours and of everyone's — all the things that we refuse to see.

We are blinded from the truth by our veils of desire and projection. You are so blinded by your hopes of what should be, that you become entirely blind and oblivious to what's right in front of you as it is. Dreaming of your future, ruminating on your past, then hey, looky looky, here's a fact, right in front of you, in the present, calling for your attention — you need to address it.

But we do not hear that, we do not see that, we do not register it, we enter into denial. Some of us consciously, some of us unconsciously, but all the same, a million coping mechanisms in action, defenses straight online. All these realities of life. That threaten our ideas. The ideas we've constructed, that we hold on to, of what should be, and what we are. But when those ideas are unfounded, it's all a mesh of lies you're in. 

A convoluted network of tunnels you're swooshing in, a distortion lens of how many dimensions. If only you could live in the immediate here and now, as it is. Instead, you're living like you're caught in a psychedelic trip, gone all sorts of five sorts of sideways. How do we ever reel you back to reality from this trip in a trip in a trip in a trip? This inception of self-deception that you indulge in — as a way of life.

So that all seems pretty straight up and crystal clear right there. Not really calling for a convoluted round of academic peer reviews to be published in a recognized journal. Not calling for clinical trials to be conducted on the international space station before we can draw any conclusions. The conclusions are clear as day. The world has gone drunken mad in its pursuit of ephemeral illusions. You along with it.

If you want to reset your rails, reestablish yourself in reality, then anytime now — feel free to wake up. It all starts with acceptance, acknowledgement. I'm pretty fucking drunk here. Then you begin identifying your illusions, peeling them away, and step by step returning to what is. So happy reelings back. Don't fall off the rails of reality, my friend.
