Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade Great Day, Fam. This one right here? It’s not for everyone. If you’re not at or approaching Eldership—defined in our tribe as about 55 years old and up—you might not feel all of this. But if you’re curious, or if you’re one of those younger souls already walking with wisdom, you’re welcome to keep reading. This message is for the Elders. For those of us who should know better. And yes—I’m including myself. Let’s Start With the Mirror I’ve got to confess something. I’ve been guilty. Guilty of being reactionary. Guilty of falling into the trap of conservatism. Guilty of romanticizing the past.

Cleve: "oh they are having more than one dream at the same time?"
Ha2: " yep that is exactly what is happening."
Cleve: " well why is one dream moving so slow?"
Ha2: "time is different at each level of dreaming.  According to the movie on the first level of dreaming every minute of real time is equal to 1 hour of dream time. On the next level of dreaming 1 minute of our time is equal to a week, and on the third level it moves to years."
I  prepared myself for a birage of question I thought this would bring from him, and already was preparing what I would say next, but he had no more questions just a simple statement that blew my mind.
Cleven just paused looked at me thoughtfully and stated:
Cleve: " Oh like the "Thundar Cats", when Lion O went to the astral plane."
Ha2: "I'll be damned! ........ Yeah, that was brilliant Cleve
