I was reading during the night and found this passage of text to be a somewhat accurate representation of many philosophies I have followed in since the age of sixteen or so, all very open to interpretation...


1. Eternity can be experienced from within, eternity can be encapsulated by consciousness.

2. Heaven, Hell, Bliss, Pain, all are internally emergent states of mind, and are not separate from one another.

3. Our past thoughts and actions, experiences as well, are a part of who we are and impact our daily existence in deep ways even if we no longer consciously remember these experiences/thoughts/actions.

4. Expansive awareness IS NOT sunshine and rainbows and bliss. Higher states of consciousness can force one to confront the immense pain and difficulty innate within existence.

5. Time is non-linear. Every moment is eternal.

6. We are a part of a masterfully created work of art, eternal, and crafted perhaps by ourselves.

7. And contradictory to previous statements. everything is temporary, must die, must end, and we must reach a state where the end of everything is something we can approach with celebration and love, where death, decay, entropy is a part of the beautiful existence we now inhabit.

8. We must answer for who we are, what we do, the impact we have, the love, the pain, the cruelty, the good deeds, every choice we make, Tinker around with the psychedelic realm long enough and this confrontation with the oftentimes painful nature of our true self is somewhat inevitable.

9. Transformation is and will be fantastic, beautiful, necessary AND HORRIFICALLY/UNIMAGINABLY DIFFICULT AND PAINFUL. This is the nature of purging, of evolution, of life.

10. WE MUST SAVE OURSELVES. No one can do it for us, these deep issues, states of mind, are personal and must be personally addressed.
