KAROL LIVER - VISITATION

Visitation 1. the appearance of a divine or supernatural being. synonyms: apparition, appearance, manifestation, materialization, emergence, vision

2. an official visit of inspection. synonyms: official visit, visit, inspection, tour of inspection, survey, review, scrutiny, examination

Visitation explores the controversial theory that extra-terrestrials have been visiting our planet for thousands of years and have contributed to our civilizational growth throughout the millennia. In analogy to how humanity observe, study geo-chemical compounds and extract critical data from other planets in the Solar System’s neighbourhood, using space probes, telescopes and robotic rovers, Visitation draws a vision of our planet being watched, visited and explored in ancient times by an alien civilization using their technology in order to answer the question we now tend to ask ourselves – would other planets and star systems we observe support intelligent life and if yes, how should we establish a contact?

Time is Your Most Precious Currency

What if I tell you, that there is a bank that will give you a free loan of a most valuable currency you can imagine. A currency that will allow you to get pretty amazing stuff. What if I tell you that this currency will be given to you upfront, so you can spend it as you wish. 

What if I tell you that there are no hidden fees, no screening needed and every person gets it instantly. They don't even ask you for your ID. As a matter of fact, they don't ask you anything. You just get the loan.

Sound's amazing right. Just imagine, being given a valid currencies for free, so you can exchange them for great stuff. Who's not in for this? So what's the catch, you might ask? 

Well, there is just one.

You are given one unit of a currency in the morning and you have 24 hours to spend it. Next morning this "money" will be gone. If you decide not to use it, fine, you’re choice, but it's all gone. You get more currency next day, sure, that's the sweet deal with this unique bank, but if you decided not to buy a thing yesterday, cry me a river, no second chance.

The bank is called the Bank of Life and the loan you get is your time, the currency unit I am talking about is a day. Time is money, they say.

Well, we're talking banking here, so let's get into some proper maths and calculations already:

Each one of us is given, on average, 27,500 units of time currency to spend. I call them time-bucks. Every single day, like it or not, you take a withdrawal of one time-buck from the pool. Rules are simple, when the time-bucks run out from your fund, you die. Game over.

Still not convinced? When you are born the bank owners give you a lot of days to spend. You won't really spend a lot of that currency consciously at your early stage of your life, but at least you have some amazing time playing outdoor, getting to know all that stuff around and being excited about pretty much everything. Blink! By the age of 10 you already took 3640 days from your fund. Then you go to school and you are locked in the classroom for the next 15 long years. By the time you finish your dream studies, oh! you are so young and beautiful, you are left with 18,350 days to spend. Chop chop, time to go to work! If you are 60, retired and average, you have, here's the scary part, only 5,565 days left to live. And that's all on average, some get few bucks less, some few bucks more.

My point is - The board of directors of The Bank of Life do not care how will you spend your time currency, as a matter of fact they do not even care if you spend it or not at all. Every day they silently make a transfer of 1 day unit from your current account (current account, “here and now” account, got it?) to the past account and guess what - you have no access to that place. It’s an amazing deal you got there, right, but here's the wicked sense of humor of the lads behind it, they didn't even bother to provide you with a PIN number, so sorry Gregory, you can't even check your account status. You might have a thousand there or just 5 last bucks left to be spent.

Two things are certain:

1) If you are reading this, you can assume that you are paying a fraction (like 1 time-cent) of your 1 time-buck today to read my entry.(Thank you, that is very nice of you!)

2) This may be one of your last activities that you can afford. In other words, this may be your last time-buck you are using now.

Yup, your account will run out of funds one day and you don't really know when, so please do yourself a bloody favor and do your best to make every single one of them lovely little time-bucks count.

Ask yourself a question, how are you managing your "life budget" today? Are you happy with your stuff? Did you like what you “bought” yesterday, or would you rather spend it on something else? You always wanted to go to Japan? Did you spend any of your time-bucks to actually do it? You wanted to be a dancer? How many time-bucks does it take to do a course? I am sure you can afford it!

Look at the time line of your bank statement from the past, go through your spending and ask yourself: Am I really getting what I want for my time-bucks?

What will you get your time for today?

Don't just sit in the office or at home, mindlessly collecting pieces of paper called money, so you will get new phone that needs to be replaced with new version next year. Things will never make you happy and you will fall into trap of obsolete technology that keeps you enslaved to the sound of the cheap labor factories' drums. Do you really enjoy getting wasted every Friday and waking up on Monday morning (how many times have you said "never again"?) to the ruthless bells of the alarm clock, announcing: 

"Wakey wakey, it's time to deposit 5 more days from your loan this week", 

before you can rinse'n'repeat your weekend's routine again and again and again? Are you really in charge of your time budget?

There is a world out there full of incredible, mind shattering experiences to invest your time in, a world of meaningful, deep connections, crazy adventures, mysteries on ancient lands, miracles and wonders of nature, a world of creativity and abundance, that will make each day of your life, pardon expression, a fucking joyride. Whatever is important for you go for it. Go and dive deep into this crazy sandbox of unlimited stimuli we call life.

All I want from myself, is this sentence to be said one day with a smile: "Thank you guys for the loan. I really bought some amazing life with my time."
