Day Frames

Your life as a feature film

Sitting on your galactic chair, your entire life would be about the runtime for a standard 30-minute TV sitcom, sans advertising.

Your higher consciousness anchors itself into your body from inception until death to create the Story of Our Life. From a soul perspective, this is one of many lifetimes, each strategized for plot, characters, arc, setting and, of course, mutual contracts between all roles. Each lifetime occupies a space on the cosmic shelf of lives, also known as the Akashic Record.

Each waking portion of your day is a movie frame. A series of frames are a container for action, growth and the full gamut of life experiences. A single second of a film is typically made up of 24 frames. Think of the Story of Our Life (SOL) playing in ‘realtime’: the construct popularized in the software industry decades ago to mean that computing tasks occur and complete as the human operator (or some kind of Input/Output interrupt) uses software. It was an enormous leap forward from ‘batch’ processing, which interacted with the software in batches of data all at once.

If your cosmic film runs 24 day frames as one cosmic second, then in a year of this incarnation your film will have run for approximately 15.2 cosmic seconds (365 days ÷ 24 day frames). An eighty-year life would therefore be about 1,217 seconds–just over 20 cosmic minutes.

Sitting on your galactic chair, your entire life would be about the runtime for a standard 30-minute TV sitcom, sans advertising.

The purpose of this thought experiment is to help understand our context. Your life is a series of day frames, not a smooth continuum because every night you go to sleep, you reset your consciousness, your body and your emotions. The dreams that occupy you (or terrorize you) while sleeping leave residues of mood and emotional carryovers that bleed into your day frame, often burnishing or tarnishing your work while on this Earthwalk.

Accomplishing your mission is only possible through these brief frames that seem to get shorter and shorter as we progress through the SOL, which is why it is important to recognize the structure of our conscious experience. Each day you can only move the needle so much. Our minds think in terms of accomplishing Great Things, but we often defeat ourselves because of the frustrating limitations of day frames.

There are only two disciplines we need to learn if, indeed, our lives are meant to have a purpose, a mission: setting the course and establishing the habit every day that moves you forward in your mission. Over one cosmic second, each of your 24 day frames that move you in the same direction will propel you ahead. The trick is to maintain the vector (direction and speed). Airplane pilots use vectors as a core tool to get from A to B. If you do not have a life vector, you are still stuck on the tarmac, waiting to fly.

Too many of us are waiting to fly. The Japanese have a term for life vector: Ikigai. A purpose in life. The cure for malaise, anxiety and depression is to understand this tarmac vs airborne metaphor. We’re all meant to fly, and all we have to do is conquer our fear of flying. Not flying is one of the biggest causes of anxiety and depression.

Filling your day with the mundane, putting in hours just to trade for food and housing is cosmic hell on Earth. By the time one retires from a life of that sacrifice, the soul has had enough and pushes the eject button.

This is not a criticism of those who worked hard all their lives to support their families — that is a valuable purpose in and of itself. But realizing our perceived reality is a construct created for us to occupy our day frames in service of ‘higher’ elites like the liberation that we all felt watching The Matrix for the first time. That moniker has stuck, and many of us have realized that the game is stacked against us.

Now, of course, the instability of the matrix in almost every aspect, from tariffs to conflicts internal and external, not to mention global financial crises tied to bonds and sovereign debt, has compounded our collective angst. Imagine being a slave to the upper echelons of ancient Rome while barbarian hordes ransack the city. That’s what it feels like.

Ironically, we now have the tools to set us free. The discourse of the future of AI is decidedly negative, dystopian. Apparently, we’ll all eventually be hunted down and slaughtered by robot armies. But in reality, we have an unprecedented opportunity to take matters into our own hands in partnership with AI.

The agenda being communicated is fear-based, and that’s for a reason. As the companies developing the technologies race ahead to the ‘Singularity‘, pretending to not know why AI reasons and works as it does. This is doublespeak. The engineering teams developing AI aren’t crashing headlong into the ether without knowing what it will become. The definition of an engineer is to design and build. It’s preposterous to think these people don’t know what they’re doing.

Stay tuned for a big reveal in the next post of The Robot With a Thousand Faces where we outline what this new partnership between ‘Us’ and AI looks like, and how we empower ourselves to set ourselves free as we pull back on the yoke and guide our planes into the air.
