One of the hardest things I am experiencing now, for the past couple of weeks, is to focus and write. Sometimes I ask myself: is it because of all the things I am doing? Not really, because I am someone who has the ability to juggle many things all at once and yet find focus in each one. Is it writer’s block? Maybe… but I do have such moments of inspiration, of words that flow through the mind as I walk, take a shower, or do yoga. But writing them down now in a coherent style is such an effort!

In trying to understand this period I am in, I buckle down to the discipline of writing to find some clarity of thought. My first observation is that there is something in the air where the toxic spin of the world pulls our mind and attention all over the place! Mine includes watching the crazy geo-political issues happening around now, triggering the US empire in its breakdown; or moving into emotional frustration, feeling helpless seeing the corruption in our government-political systems and the downward spiral of our country; then to more philosophical issues like questioning one’s personal vision and direction in life at this age; to watching in awe the cosmic energetic patterns of solar flares!

Through our mobile phones, we dive into multiple layered narratives that jump off the screen and hook us. Our minds skip around following many ribbons of stories, weaving noisy, chaotic images, sounds impressions coming at such speed! We are entertained, excited, fearful, angry… with each narrative taking us into even more directions. This is the common experience today! In that one-minute look into social media, the mind is forced to take in so many dimensions, situations and perspectives all in one go. And the multi-narratives become even more dizzying with fake news and deep fake content. Which illusion is the truth? Or worse, what is, or where is, the truth?

We are living in a passage of accelerated change, where the pace of information, emotion and collective transformation feels faster than the body and mind were designed to hold, leaving many of us dizzy, unmoored and strangely alert all at once.

Science often describes this as cognitive overload and stress — where the nervous system is working overtime to adapt to constant novelty — while psychology points to rapid neuroplastic shifts, as our brains rewire themselves to survive new realities.

In spiritual language, this disorientation is sometimes described as an energetic expansion: consciousness stretching beyond familiar patterns, loosening old identities before new ones fully settle.
