Imagine a bowstring being pulled back for twenty-two years, and then suddenly released. The arrow takes off furiously at the whim of the sinking skies, I am that arrow. I feel as though my entire life has been a preparation for this hour, this trial. It is time for me to go my own way, and forget about my past. I no longer feel as if I’m being held back. A lot can change in an instant, if you’re willing to take a chance on yourself. I am as a mind at large, a mass of unlimited potential. I have changed my environment, my company and my mindset, and I could not be any happier. Understanding the figurative doors of perception made me realize that all perspectives come together at a point of origin, which is the initial event or stimulus to the senses. I now know that conscious life is all the same, there is a singularity to our human perception. The ability to keep a non-judgmental, open mind is a rarity these days; it can be a burden feeling as if I am awake in a vast and dismal sea of sleeping faces, but when I meet like-minded people it is inspiring for me to continue on my journey of self-discovery. I did not know until recently that there are plenty of people who think like me; this made me realize that life is far too short to spend time around people who will not, or cannot embrace me as an intellectual. There is so much more to life than most people know. Most are only worried about what they can see, or hold in their hand, most are only interested in tangible, material objects of little importance. Socrates said “Know thyself.” Meaning in order to know what life is, or other people, one must be in touch completely with their emotions and senses. There are forces to this universe that most are unaware of, I find myself to be more in tune with them with every day that passes. That is how I know that I am on the right path and doing the right thing. One must follow his heart completely and become an absolutely free spirit to sense things for what they really are: infinite. We, as human beings, need not talk to communicate. We use symbol-systems, languages, to express our emotions. If language never existed, by now it might be possible for all of us to communicate telepathically. There are plenty of reports on telepathy and extra-sensory perception (ESP) it would be extremely narrow minded to think that all these claims are false. As Bob Marley said, “There’s a natural mystic blowing through the air.” We are all mystics by nature, but if the wind never blew, no one would ever know. Until recently I was skeptical of many things, mostly spiritual communication. I did not believe in astrology, destiny, fate, ghosts, tarot cards, pretty much the spirit world in general. Now I am a firm believer of all these subjects, it took actual experience in some of these matters for me to believe. Now I keep an even more open mind, as I essentially believe in everything. Who am I to say that someone else’s experiences are wrong? Who am I to say that something doesn’t exist? Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it isn’t real. Karma is a metaphysical force that a lot of people are familiar with; I do believe the cosmos has been rewarding me recently for my good deeds. Another thing I have realized is none of my ideas are my own; almost everything you can think of someone else has probably had the idea and put it in better words. It seems nowadays that most people take their lives for granted. Most fail to realize that life is sacred. It seems that a lot of people are bored with life. Life is the only thing you’ll ever know, and it saddens me to see that people don’t have the interest and lust for life that I have. I am so tired of people complaining about their lives and the petty drama that ensues, if you have time to complain, you have time to make your life better. One must be completely ecstatic that he can experience something as wonderful as the mystical side of life. It is these very sentiments that have brought me back to the primal nature of life. I can almost surmise what is the origin of conscious thought and being. I believe that by simply posing a question to the cosmos, you have effectively created an infinite number of answers. My interest in philosophy has separated me from my peers, but has brought me closer to another group of peers, that is yin and yang coming full circle. I am on the golden road to devotion, and I’m not looking back. From here on, I will perpetuate my wisdom only to those who will listen; I am in no way interested in helping people who are not willing to help themselves anymore. Teaching people who don’t want to be taught never works, they respond with resentment. As Grace Slick said, “Don’t ever change people, your face will hit the fan.” I am tired of my face hitting the fan, I will go where I am respected and listened to. I am breaking my ties with anyone who I believe are not interested in life itself. Now I can only look forward and enjoy the ride, which is until I sense a great disturbance in the force. I have just one more thing for me to say, Namaste.
