Progressions, Dimensions, & Dilemmas

  A BRIEF REFLECTION 


    The evolving mind is faced with the most scathing inquiry that inexorably nags and claws:  what shall I do with things I have written prior?  A gloss over my other blogs would grant the casual eye to witness a man running the gambit from being inundated with fervor for religiosity to one dancing on the “other side”.  If my views are now lacking in reverence,  should it be that I must scrap the old?  “To thine own self be true”.   Is it not so that who I am in actuality at this very position in time and space is an amalgamation of all the forward progressions of my past?  How then must I disregard who I was?  It has always been on my mind to put out my life’s journey:  how I came from point A to point B.  Were I too concerned with those who might disagree with me at any moment, there’d be no drive within my being to write.  For the most part, I do this for myself with the curiosity that somebody somewhere might glean something of worth.  But, I cannot allow myself to hang on to that thought.

       The struggle of existence plays out both in the physical antagonisms of life and in finding reasons to exist.  From the beginning of one’s life, meaning of one’s existence is determined on culture & family.  Through the years, in-group struggles and unanswered - or unsatisfactory - questions about the world might induce one to go out into the “unknown” world on a quest in an effort to satisfy such curiosities (that is, if they are free enough to take on such a task).  But, what if, in this quest, they discover that so much of what they were taught was based off of much fabrication, mental manipulation, or paranoia; and, at this juncture, choose to cast off those past paradigms?      This person is left in fragments.  How can he know what is real save for the skin on his bones and the earth beneath his feet?  How can he trust anybody without reading into them some sort of manipulative agenda?  Better to be stoic...

The Existential Odyssey

     The Path is  this Arc of one's very being. It is the Yellow Brick Road, Noah's Ark, a dragon bridge to the heavens, or simply a rustic highway to the Great Beyond. The starting line of that Path is a certain point from which one finds oneself standing for the very first time. Here lies the simplicity of one's awareness of one's existence - ruby red slippers? A call? An ambition? This standing point is that point that meets with all that has gone before.  There are two key aspects of the Path: 1) That which one tethers oneself to in order to define one's "purpose"; & 2) That which one owns as one's very own Path - an untethered will to define Self for oneself. There is, however, a point in between these two aspects of the Path. Limbo is a a spider who spins her web quite finely for those who would risk leaving the comforts of the former aspect of the Path in search for the latter.     Truth is quite an evasive little thing. One recognizes one...
