Charles Shea :
When you describe human beings as sacred, living, breathing images of God capable of unmatched clarity in communicating suffering while simultaneously acknowledging many may act mostly unconscious within current capitalistic architecture, you are pointing to a profound societal failure that can lead to a kind of spiritual, psychological, or even physiological paralysis.
Within the structures of late-stage capitalism, acting unconscious refers to the way people are forced to function as automated cogs, sleepwalking through their days while their higher awareness, emotional depth, and soul-to-soul resonance is systematically suppressed.
* The Trance of Survival Mode: When a human being is pinned under the constant dysregulating terror of starvation, homelessness, and a 40-to-60-hour work week, their nervous system drops into a kind of defensive dissociation. They operate largely on autopilot, engaging in repetitive, dull tasks in part to avoid getting thrown out onto the street while actively being stripped of the emotional bandwidth required for deep reflection or genuine connection.
* The Lobotomization of Rebellion: People act unconscious when they voluntarily or desperately numb themselves with shallow distractions, chemical substances, and/or mindless scrolling. By doing these things they block out the agonizing realization that they are trapped in a labor extraction machine, choosing a kind of functional sleep over the overwhelming pain of waking up to the societal cage.
* The Suppression of the Sacred: Operating as an obedient drone in a corporate hierarchy directly contradicts the sacred pro-human capacity to articulate suffering and share profound emotional truth.
When people accept the status quo, swallow their misery, and treat each other like transactional obstacles rather than fellow souls, they are living far below the absolute peak of what consciousness and communication were designed to achieve which is radically non-violent pro-human harmony and emotional resonance with others.
