Narrative is False Consciousness

I've done way too many posts about current events on my blog. It's a bad habit to keep reacting to the lie machine.

When we were walking the dogs this morning, I had the clearest conceptualization of the idea that narratives are inherently false.

I believe some group of people that's affiliated with music and the entertainment industry views their work as building "consciousness". That might be the idea of the "great work". That is, many people are laboring to furnish the collective human mind with more elaborate consciousness, mainly through story telling, and mainly through story telling about constellations and astro-mythology.

The narrative-based understanding of the world is severely distorted, though, and is many steps removed from nature. The real great work would be to have that nature consciousness.
