Galileo's Eureka!

Knowledge, if we see the consider political limits of our existence, can exhaust but experiences won't. Though if we consider vastness of the universe knowledge to is inexhaustible but universe is out of reach for people other than the capital except in form of the night sky and I got baffled after knowing that experience of universe even through the night sky and even access to experience of nature can be gatekept. This kind of gatekeeping is normal in India and people can be gatekept form their own experiences. Political enlightenment is realising how much of our experience is direct result of power and capital and for those whom the shit hits the fan it can become a hundred percent so much that it becomes impossible for them to salvage their authentic, natural selves from the sociopolitics in their bodies and minds. It was in 2013 that I became interested in esoteric after coming across a homeopath who was interested in esoteric on social media, then social networking. Though I later realised that whatever esoteric, magic, occult or supernatural or paranormal that exists it exists for capital, a common man doesn't, and increasingly so in the modern times, experience miracles. They get illness and if they do not have money they die. Technology is the only magic that is available to common people and it is paywalled, of course it is not free but, as I realised in the past decade, intrusive interference of the deep politics in the lives of people is totally free and it can shapeshift into God, providence, feudal kingdom, torture chamber, mafia exploitation or an intelligence apparatus and the best part is that if it doesn't have dirt in the lives of people to exploit, it first creates it. This is however going since the time of Jesus or even before that. Jesus preached love, healed the sick, and he was hanged on a cross and later co-opted. India since early 2010s has been in the mode of no good deed goes unpunished and it can only happen when the ones in control are inferior as well as criminal. There is no magic coming for the common man or woman, just the fear of hell for little things and exploitation based on it. Space now unlike the 90s is just another avenue for the modern Columbuses and East India Companies where they would take slaves to expand it into empire. There is nothing in space that George Lucas hasn't already told, Palpatine awaits. What remains is night sky, the fire and the ability to feel them if the politics of the land allows you.
