Totality

   You look around me
You look above
You do not see me
You  can’t feel my love
I tried to show you
I’m getting older
You look for
Something new
I tried to tell you
It’s over
I am 
Unglued

Icarus, Above the Rainbow

       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 and not let anybody too close.  Better not to show anybody his

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&#

On Suffering

  What is meant by “One becomes more conscious through suffering”?       Suffering comes in all shapes and sizes.  Suffering is not necessarily desirable.  We can try to look away from it, try to suppress it, or try to put it on the shoulders of another being (divine or not).  Curiosity drives us forward to new innovations but suffering has the potential to make us more aware of ourselves and our capabilities.   But, if one speaks of suffering, it could seem like they are being dismissive of the horrible sufferings people might endure that may actually be counterproductive to awareness - sufferings possibly caused by others.  How do we navigate this?      Suffering can induce greater consciousness in that we have the ability to look at suffering, understand that it is of human nature  - if not all nature - to endure some state of suffering.  Suffering can induce greater consciousness when we are experiencing suffering and are investigating our suffering to work our way through it.  How
