The Tapestry of Life

Evan Graves -- November 12th

What if I told you that the world, as you know it, was only in your imagination? That your friends, school, families, and entire lives were just a part of one tapestry, hanging on somebody’s wall? You wouldn’t believe me. 

But, what if I gave you the evidence? To put it this way, no matter your religion, one thing is universal-- there is something out there, watching humanity. 

Starting at the beginning, there have always been things that happen, things that are unexplainable, even by the most brilliant minds we’ve known.  What about the Bermuda Triangle, D.B. Cooper, or even the Loch Ness monster, to name a few? These are all things dismissed as fake, a trick of the light, or just mysteries that we can’t solve. The reason we cannot solve these, however, is far beyond what you and I are capable of comprehending. It is the sole reason you doubt me now, even though this is far from the first time someone has tried to warn you. 

All the people we have written off as insane, unwell, or confused are the people who saw it first. They tried to show us what was going on, but we never listened. The studies have proved it; the people who scored the highest on tests of realism are people with depression and other so-called ‘mental illnesses.’ This tells us something important. The only way you can truly see reality is if you are considered broken, and people care so much about their social status that they refuse to acknowledge the truth. Some people can see it easier than others-- the most common examples can be found in everyday life. Taylor Swift, MUSE, Billie Eilish, and almost any music artist you can think of has at least one song that you can’t quite define, because they are just a hint of what lies beyond our reach. No matter how many people try to explain it, people remain oblivious to the greater truth. 

The ‘it’ I am referring to cannot be directly described-- this is something that has been happening ever since mankind began to evolve and change the world around them. 

Picture a weaver, sitting at a table and methodically pulling a needle and thread through a vast and colorful creation. The weaver could be anyone--a god, demon, something else entirely, it doesn’t matter. The point is, you may think this person is controlling the pattern, but they aren’t. The thread guides the hands of this weaver, and shows them what to design. However, just as the thread can show the weaver how to create, the thread can also be its undoing. This thread, and the tapestry it has created, is our world as we know it. When we, as a civilization, choose ‘freedom’ and ‘the past’, we are only tearing up our future, and undoing the tapestry until it is back at the beginning. This is why history is said to repeat itself, because every time we make it back to where we left off, we unravel the thread that could have helped us move forward.
