Everything Is Temporary
The natural human state is empty, silent, naked, temporary. We are merely visitors of this world. I've been thinking about my past. How I used to treat my body and mind as though it were my playground rather than my temple or sanctuary. I've been trying to be more aware of my thoughts and where they stem from. I've been trying to figure out the dynamics of my mind, what fuels and inspires me. I've realized that while I don't particularly like the human race, people are truly my number one source of inspiration. Everyone who crosses my path has an impact on my visit here in this world. Anyone has the ability to trigger an idea in my head, add a new piece of art to the walls of my mind. I walk these corridors quietly, choosing carefully what I choose to put on display for the world outside me. This exhibit is open only to me.

I love this. I believe that who we REALLY are is anything but temporary, as opposed to everything we were tricked into believing we are. But our bodies, wants, needs, attachments and the entire world we live in are all temporal illusions. Which, imo, is a very liberating realization.
ReplyDeleteAre you starting to treat your body/mind like the temple it is? When a beautiful woman pollutes herself with shitty food, thoughts and desires it’s a major turnoff for me because it just screams that she lacks respect for herself. At this point, I no longer see a lover/equal but a potential client that I feel compelled to help. One of my biggest challenges is that I constantly struggle with my desire to save the world while simultaneously realizing that the world has no desire to be saved.
And I totally get what you mean about disliking most of the population. Very few people have the balls to admit this and I totally respect you for saying that. Personally, I think whatever force created our world is a complete douchebag. I mean, how can a supposed higher power create a system where living creatures are forced to live in fear of predators and endure chronic suffering? If you’re gonna set up a system where a baby seal needs to be mauled to death by a snow leopard to keep the circle of life going, at least make the experience painless, for christ’s sake. Unfortunately, humans aren’t too far removed from our friends in the jungle and most vibrate at a very low level of consciousness which leads to the energetic pollution that surrounds our planet. And what’s most painful about this is realizing it’s never gonna change.
And by the way… as far as collecting artwork for your mental gallery, I can show you some things that’ll twist your world upside down. But there’s a pretty hefty price…
