Very very interesting Whatever
Suppose you realize you are stuck inside a turtle shell.
Wouldn't you try to get out from that situation?
You never thought about that Whatever, did you?
I'm not stuck in one, I'm standing on one. And that one stands on another, which stands on another .. all the way down. There isn't any need to go anywhere and no where to go. I'm standing pat on my turtles. Enjoy your flights of fantasy.
The canary syndrome is a mental disease.
The poor bird think that the cage is her reality and get used to that reality.
It never pass in her mind that outside there is a bigger reality.
Not only that but even in that bigger reality there is a even bigger reality and that is the goal of everybody life. (all the way up)
But when your reality is a cage then is not yet time for you to start the journey to that goal of life.

There is a reason why the bird has got the wings Whatever and that reason is that it suppose to use them to fly.
Every human being got a mine of gold in form of consciousness and there is a reason why.
Once this consciousness is able to expand it will merge into an infinite consciousness.
By not expanding this consciousness within humans behave like a bird in a cage that is happy to stay in the cage.

One more classic example are many Muslim women which are quite happy to hide their faces.
They feel secure like that in that false dimension.
