Let's be as philosophical as one's
imagination would allow. Let's dump all we think we know and what we
so blindly assume we understand. Nothing is as it seems. All of my
writing usually has a purpose, and the purpose of this is to simply
define purpose.
Since I can remember I have felt like I
was responsible for carrying more weight than my own. Metaphorically,
of course. Metaphysically, if you like. But like a very small
percent, I supressed and pursued happiness that is all to often
defined by society instead of the person pursuing. “The right to
pursue happiness” is only the right to attempt to fit in and be
acceptable by society.
This, however is not an attempt at
pointing out flaws in society.
Who are we not to be responsible for
oneself? Lately, I have felt the weight more and more. Sometimes
impairing my ability to stand, my ability to control my thoughts, my
emotions. I guess including that a death is usually the proceeding
does not make this sound any less weird.
This, however, is not my declaration of
being a medium.
This is to define purpose. Who are we
not to be feel? Not to be so effortlessly interconnected like a tree
in California, whose cousin lives in Florida? Who are we not to sense
the pain of family, a friend, a stranger? We that live in the same
world where we share almost 90 percent of our DNA with a banana.
This is not my thesis on how Scientology has to be real.
Who are we not to believe. Impossible
is nothing. Possible is just a little bit more, nothing
none-the-less. Who are we to be so disconnected. To walk pass the
bum, to ignore the starving child.
This is not my plea for world peace and
prosperity.
The great philosopher Jagger said, “You
can't always get what you want.” And Mayer followed him by saying
“Gravity wants to bring me down.”
This is not my playlisted love affair.
This is my attempt to stray away from
gravity and feel. Re-animate what I made dormant, decompress what I
have suppressed for so long. This is me revealing my light.
Take this how you want. This is not a
stale attempt at revealing any dark secrets about myself. If you are
a regular reader, you know them all. From my childhood, to my wife's
affair. Who are we not to share all we are with all that are there.
To bring more people here.
This is not an age-old tactic or a
motivational speech about loving one another.
This is my love song. Telling you to
love yourself, free yourself. Be what you were meant to be. Fuck
society, fuck your friends if they don't agree with your dream, fuck
your f family if they feel the same. Don't have your light dimmed by
what may be deemed unacceptable. Blacks voting, women working, and
space exploration were once all damned by society and today, well
today we practice them all more than we do war.
The philosopher Mayer also said
“Gravity is working against me... Gravity, stay the hell away from
me” Metaphorically genius. Remove your gravity so human flight can
become something that was once absurd, but openly practiced.
