INSIDE THE MIRROR

in words •  7 years ago 

Close your mind and leave this place for a moment. Cast away what you are, and bid a new.
Before there was light, there was light unseen; because it was before time, because it was before the planets.

Before you, nothing existed. You are the reason for the creation of this planet and the time needed to contain it.

Who can think clearly when the wolves are howling? They know you need peace to think more; they prey on your every moment, and finish only after they’ve consumed you.

Allow yourself to see the other world you live in. Allow yourself to feel the other creatures around you.

Why should you be here? What is your purpose?

Did you come here? Will you leave?

Were you brought here? Will you be taken?

What do you think you are? Do you feel safe?

Do you believe the others are like you? Do you know what they are thinking?

Do you hope they are not like you? Do you hope they never know what you are thinking?

Do you want to know when the tree will fall? Do you want to see what it smashes?

How can you know what is right? How can you know why you are here? Are we so much smarter than the others?

How can you know what I should want? How can you know what makes me happy?

There was a fly that just lost its life for landing on me. I hope the others will learn from it. But hope is employed when control is lost. So I will keep my weapon ready.

Do you know what is important? Do you know how to think or live?

Have you only contempt for evil? Do you realize why it’s here?

Do you allow it all to consume you? Have you no mind of your own?

Beautiful and scary. The existentialist issues brought up have troubled me as of late.

I can only truly know anything about my perception of this reality, and so I wonder if they are similar to that of others; if they are sentient at all. (solipsism)

And I realize I can not ever truly know anything about the nature of this reality, not for certain.

It scares the shit out of me. And it makes me lonely.

I feel the same loneliness you do. I agree, we only know what our minds will let us perceive and negotiate. Thanks for reading and thanks for commenting. It's rare to find an open mind and someone to discuss these things. It was suppose to be beautiful and scary and I think it's possible since you saw it this way that maybe we may think in a similar way. On my website of the same name, there is a blog and videos I think you would enjoy/hate.. ;)

Thanks mate, keep up your good work and have a wonderful new year :)
