Of Self

Take heed to your inner being, live a life of lavish emotions and abundant joy.

While the impetuous nature of the physical, monotonous world may take its horrid toll; the bastards will never sap the grand permanence that is thine inner consciousness. Always remember that there is such beauty that pervades every facet of being. Just look up to the pseudo-infinite heavens that shimmer defiantly in the darkness, look into the bottomless sea wherein nestles great beasts of splendor and barbarity, look at the beauty of the magnificent forests that grow vast and plentiful hiding unknown secrets lost to man, just look at the blossoming emotions between two young lovers captivated in the exquisiteness of life and each other’s presence. Let the raw emotions of passion and unprecedented ecstasy course through your veins until the feeling culminates into a crescendo that no drug could ever match. This is about letting yourself go, feeling the oozing poison that clings to every object of this earth slipping out of your system and filling your body with a sense of awareness. Put the ego to death; let your mind truly be free. Goddamn! Can you imagine what marvelous, picturesque planes you just might tread? What perilous vistas of celestial brilliance you will come across? The sordid misjourneys you will regret at first (and bang your head against the wall until you bleed and cry and beg to go home to mommy) only to realize what an amazing life you have lived?

This is about being in love! In love with yourself, in love with your lover, in love with nature, in love with your mind, in love with your heart, in love with the grand intricacies that underlie every skin deep object presented in our lives! Jesus christ, just look around you and think, meditate even, on how wonderful life truly is. Yes, there is suffering. Yes, there are the swine out there seeking to devour what little joy we are able to summon in this brief existence. Yes, there are vile machinations dreamt up by the worst kind of beings who wish to only provoke greed and malice in this earth and choose to provide lowbrow thought and wanton dogma to the masses. Yet I can still reach out and grasp some concept of intensity in the zeal of living! This is the feeling I get when I look out into the vastness of outer space, where stars hang on threads of pulsating radiance. The feeling I get when I lie on the eternal beaches of night and melt my consciousness into the sea. The feeling I get when I find myself utterly lost in an unknown place and just loving every moment of it. The feeling I get when I lose myself in the deep, mysterious eyes of my better half, her warmth gleaming from the subtle twitches of emotion on her face glowing outwards as if to say, “Don’t fret, don’t worry, don’t even feel any pangs of fear. For I will take care of you and love on you. Even when time itself mocks us and shows its dreadful face, I will hold it back and keep you close. Grasp onto my hand and I will take you on a crazy adventure of love and passion and romance that no one in this dimension (or any other for that matter) could even comprehend! Lose yourself in me, I promise I will never betray you. Let go and let me take care of you and you can take care of me. Let yourself feel a unique love that many have died to even hope to experience what we have, for I will love you even longer than you could possibly comprehend. Embrace me and I will embrace you, kiss me and I will kiss you, believe in me and I will believe in you, love me and I will love you.” Strive to accept the higher perks of being; don’t settle for wallowing in the quicksand that is common thought. Just dig life, dig being alive, dig each other, and dig the beauty that is ever inspiring the vast magnificence of self and soul.
