Identical worlds, in the intricate tapestry of existence, another world may coexist alongside our own—a universe known to somewhere the boundaries between realities blur. While we may not be solitary inhabitants on this planet. Buddhists have honed the instinct to discern where the next spirit will reincarnate—a skill we all possess to varying degrees. Just as the blind heighten their hearing, the spiritually attuned can unlock portals to glimpse the past, the present, and the future.

On the other hand, uncertainty shrouds these phenomena, and faith remains their cornerstone. Such occurrences are often termed “phenomena,” defying logical explanations. We call it a phenomenon when there is no logic behind it. The ancients wove their wisdom through dreams, creating a bridge between realms. Psychologists label this as escapism, weaving fantasies to evade reality. Regardless, across our planet’s expanse, souls akin to ours reside, bound by shared threads of existence.

Recently, Chance connected me with a stranger on a bus who marveled at my resemblance to her cousin. Such moments prompt introspection, causing us to pause in contemplation. Déjà vu, too, has crossed our paths—a sensation of familiarity in an unfamiliar place. These experiences evoke a unique feeling, leaving us in awe and the body in shock, as though from an exhaustive marathon. Yet, whether present or not, they remind us of life’s moments in nature. Doubts naturally creep in—our minds, sometimes our severe critics. Here, awareness becomes the weapon to combat this internal rival.

In short, just imagination or scaping our reality and living makes us feel secure about ourselves. And on the other side of our world, another person shares our customs and ideas. After all, we belong to this beautiful planet called Earth.

On the same coin, good and evil come from different experiences. The person is brought to light by crime when the murder of his parent leaves a devastating mark on his young life. The other is forced to pay for his father’s crimes, serving time in prison. This experience made him want to fight the people who sent him there.

Both use violence to achieve their aims. One in the name of good, the other evil. Different perspectives from deep insecurity brought by their devastating experience as children.

The turmoil and social construct of the world influence them, not for good. Governments and corporations utilize media to direct the aimless dance of youth with commercialism and division. Greed and hatred forged by the power-hungry create a societal breakdown infused with resentment and chaos.

However, some join and embrace the lies and deception to perpetuate and benefit from the madness and confusion. But, others will fight to bring those responsible for their crimes, of which they create a system to allow themselves to operate freely, to a natural justice where the truth reigns supreme.

Nonetheless, the superhero and the villain. Metaphorical creations reveal the observed reality of the world where the many are fighting the few.

But we are itching to find out who is behind that mask. Further, to create mystery, curiosity plays with our minds. We perceive what they want us to see from them, which is an unclear personality that may not even be real. The painting shows both posing and glazing on the right side, but by their looks, they have found something even more significant than themselves.

It amazes me to see how people change from one moment to the next by being cynical. Seeing them degrade themselves without achieving satisfaction is exhausting. However, at the end of our lives, we take nothing with us, and our bodies will return to the ground.
