subtle dystopian propaganda machines

Perhaps because I have been so acutely aware of the subtle and not so subtle dystopian propaganda machines inside my own soul, I have been interested in freedom.  These machines’ compelling and enslaving narratives, too often on continual loop, have been instrumental in my on-going waking up out of addlepated just-doing-whatever dreaminess.  They have also inspired a two decade effort to structure my thinking, feeling, and volition in ways that develop my creativity and freedom to serve others.  It has not always been easy, and in my better moments I’m thankful for that!  I’m thankful, likewise, for the few and sometimes far between moments when I shake off the hitherto unknown forces guiding my hand and write my own narrative, at least for a while.
