I really like this! After all, if our Gruppenführers keep us in survival mode, that activates the sympathetic system which destines resources to fight or flight, instead of higher order thinking like reflection and thought-out decision making. That is rather convenient if you want to herd people instead of having individuals that think and act by themselves.
We are dying and living at every moment --every inhalation and exhalation even!-- so removing the hooks that make us think we have to be running like rats all the time to pursue artificial goals to arrive at somewhere we can consider 'safe' is perhaps one of the greatest forms of rebellion. 'What do you mean you are not selling your soul to buy an overly-sized house and a new car (phone) every year like every other person?' For what, to draw symbols in the air and intone words of power? Yes :-).
I like the navigation analogy too, always on the move carrying the essentials and ready to take the next step if necessary.

Hello there JPM,
I really like this! After all, if our Gruppenführers keep us in survival mode, that activates the sympathetic system which destines resources to fight or flight, instead of higher order thinking like reflection and thought-out decision making. That is rather convenient if you want to herd people instead of having individuals that think and act by themselves.

Happy meditations!
