Expressions

This is a place where I can speak my mind and say those things that only the rare few will understand. And well is it that this is so, for the main reason for our world existing in it's present form- if such reason is real and authentic- is son that the lower levels of consciousness that we refer to as everyday life can continue.

That pulse, that rhythm, like a heart-beat of mundaneness. The cars making their way from one traffic light to another, the trains passing between stations. the repetitive splurge of stories on the media, of one celebrity or another, one sports game or another, one act of terrorism or another... and yes, I do include the state terrorism in this assessment.

'Are you scared yet', they ask. 'Will you comply, will you submit to this life of drudgery, a life surrounded by beauteous dawns and sunsets that you will be too busy in one office or another, or simply too exhausted, to ever notice?' Oh yes, this world will keep turning and those who support it's seemingly endless material needs will keep appearing, if only because they need the salary thus-earned to keep their families alive in this... this is the system, which perpetuates itself in space-time and will continue to do so, whatever you or I say, or do.

I suggests that, as it exists, it is good. That it is somehow good for so many to be in blissful near-ignorance, so that they can better concentrate on that which is before them. yet, this is the very reason why what I say here will be understood by so few, ignored by so many. this is the loneliness of the prophet-artist, for his thoughts to be so different from those around him. Yet, I argue, this does not mean the same can be said of his actions, or public pronouncements.

Just as the sun shines from deep within His endless depths, so does the prophet bestow on the 'masses' that which makes them feel like eternal individuals once more. Beauty, poetry, art... words of truth that burn deep within their souls. You see, we are all eternal... we just don't all know it now. Take away the 'k' from know and you can have it now. In transcendent moments, the common man ascends to those airy heights where the intellectually superior tends to inhabit. For there are actually no superiors, no inferiors, except in the area of how much is made conscious to each individual. For in that sphere we can never be equal... hence the traditions of honour, fame, celebrity, respect. And in fact, though it be largely false, those celebrities and idorus you see so much of are held by the public to be the embodiments of ascended masters... though they know not the terminology for now... they know not what is going on really.

Like the sun, we shine, giving light, giving spirit... to those who need their own candles lie, however briefly by another's inspiration... but I digress. My point is just to show that this is all not necessarily a narcissistic, selfish endeavour, to find ones own truth. It brings benefits to the other, to the whole world, just as the riches of a billionaire 'trickle down' to society through taxes and other methods. Consider my arts my taxes, yet please also try to ascend to the Olympian heights of tranquility, so that such experiences of pure beauty and a peaceful life can be yours as well! for an artist is a spiritual Billionaire- something much greater than the material form, and thus of incomparably greater interest.

So, like I said, here is a forum where my mind may be free to express itself, however strange it may seem to others. Here is where Starfire talks, whether or not anyone bothers to listen. And do you understand, oh habitual world... can you?
