Decipher this
There are some things in life that just happen and you have to let these things happen and when you can find another person who has also accepted the flow that is called happiness.

Out of body experience
The doors of illusion descend through the haze onto the cobble path you travel. You pull your cloak tighter around your shoulders as you approach the gaping portal. A phosphorescent glow seeps out through the cracks and the warm gust of some foreign land breathes on your skin with the promise of something different. Spirits bolstered, grown tired of the dull landscape surrounding your path, you step one foot across the threshold.
The gust becomes a vaccuum and you are sucked forward through the door. The gravity propels you as you fly through infinity. A cascade of silver spiraling in a funnel follows your trajectory and the clouds part ways dancing in geometric patterns. up through the atmosphere like an eagle soaring on a thermal. The air thins and the sun pierces the particles dancing in its light. An angel implodes and a can of tomato soup takes its place. The can tilts forward to intercept your travel. Confined within the can is a swirling mass of energy. The source of attraction, a worm hole to a different dimension.
Your torso twists in upon itself and your limbs grow a mind of their own, swirling and teaming with cosmic radiation. Your skin glows, growing whiter and whiter until, in a flash of electricity, it turns invisible. Your face is put on a hillside and your eyes float to the night sky. In a moment of clarity your mind wipes clean. Your voice echoes off the moon and your tongue licks from the oceans.
In the next instant it was as if none of this ever was and you wake to find yourself in a stranger's body.

The artist distills himself out of every word
Not much to debate here except i can now see the only screen whereaz before it was 3 screens that really had be hung up, to be sure i don't have a clue what the last blog says it just is about the moment, on a whole other level. for in writing you have an idea or maybe you have a narrative and the idea becomes entwined with the narrative and the entire thing is the back and forth between the two, but that is contrived, it shows an example in a specific state which canot be transferred to other examples only compared and contrasted. the compare/contrast technique is good at pippointing instances in examples in which the moment flares up shortly, the true worth of a novel is not the novel its a sentence or wo, the problem is finding the sentence But this is only with narratives, in which mostly things simply move around and are reorganized. No more of this if progress will happen because the illusion of time is imponderable, we are slaves to time who cares if it works in mysterios way. My cat works in mysterious ways so i said ok cat you do things your way and ill do things my way and it's gonna be alright. so here with this new literature, time is something that gets no notice, who cares about what has changed, for a person's mind remainds a growing constant throughout. So not even a character you need just a word but you can't try to control that word you must subsist the temptation, you must say "i don't know what that means but maybe someone else does" each word conjures up the next like in the phrase "I....stood....down....from.....the.....podium .....because.....everyone....was.....booing................................" so, instead of looking at a man standing down from a podium because everyone's booing, instead of trying to place your own meaning on something beyond you is an oversimplication. First you must understand every word for their purpose, the purpose hidden in layers. So now I is obviously the introduction of some character, no you or I but I. ok, and he stood... nice n concrete. we get the fellow now standing, that's progression. but then the word down is confusing. Gives us a direction with a qualitative judgment on it, for up is generally good and down is bad i think. So now we got a guy who stood down.. now who'd he stand down, orwhy should he have made the movement what does this even mean? from shows direction but the is my least favorite word. the the the,as in one specific, so this shows that the action is definitely in response to a single object, podium,,, now why was he up on the podium in the first place and is it at an awards ceremony or at a lecture or what? because oh joy we're gonna be told the answer everyone, wait a minute. everyone? that words a little grandiose for a simple standing down, you'd think maybe at worst it would be the crowd, but apparently this transcends spacial reality, people know somethin we don't. booing ah, it's clear not it's the action of booing that drove our youth down from the podium, but why were they booing and were they really booing the speaker or an offcameraman, you see its words like this that evoce those offcameramen, the ones who sit behind their sunglasses and just watch and cause great thing to happen with their hands
so in the end, this sequence which would have taken less than a minute has been torn apart, that the initial order the event seemed to have was only there because we had a reasonably small selection of words, but nothing can ever be fully contained in words, only the shadows of truth, so when you rely too heavily on words you begin living in a fantasy world.

Everything's gonna be fine.
You see, in the course of the journey you will hit rough spots, many rough spots lie in wait along your road, but do not fret because you are only in the middle of the road and the destination lies beyond the horizon. Even as the destination draws within sight it is still unclear what it is and what you will have to do when you get there, but keep in my, everything's gonna be fine. You see, it's the journey not the destination that matters but you can't put a quality judgment on the journey. It's like as Keruoac once wrote "“Dean took out other pictures. I realized these were all the snapshots which our children would look at someday with wonder, thinking their parents had lived smooth, well-ordered, estabilished-within-the-photo lives and got up in the morning to walk proudly on the sidewalks of life, never dreaming the raggedy madness and riot of our actual lives, our actual night, the hell of it, the senseless nightmare road. All of it inside endless and beginningless emptiness. Pitiful forms of ignorance.” You see, the snapshots captures the horror of the road inside its frame to make it acceptable to those who took a different road, so when you cross your road with another, either both will figure out that they were alright the entire time or that they were both misguided at some point. It's the people in your life which gives your life its meaning, which encourages or discourages you on the pursuit of dreams, because dreams are the only thing free from decay. Those that embrace the dream embrace an idea they have about the future, a place they want to be, and if they also embrace the notion that you can do anything you dream then these folks will find that everything magically synchs up over the years as long as they can keep an eye open for the points of space and time which have the potential to alter your trajectory. These points cannot be dealt with on a whim because then it gets confusing as the mixture of good and bad present in life can become to overcumbersome to understand. Try to deliberate on the important decisions-friends, family, spouse-in short, be thoughtful of the interconnectedness of spirits and you will find that you can draw closer and closer to your dream.
This is a very complex system, and sadly it seems maybe the majority of society lack the capacity to constantly reinvent themselves, for the true sign of a failure is someone who wishes he was the person he was a year ago. You must keep building upon yourself, training new skills, meeting new people, influencing other people, being influenced to read the ideal. Very tiring process, but I say this process is life. So, the weak willed who waver under the stress of life quickly opt out of the perpetual change, and they stand transfixed at some spot, a spot of insurmountable trauma, a memory haunts them constantly that reminds them of their failure to fit in with society and its dream, so one day such people will look forward and see all the effort and stress the forward thinker undergoes, but these people feel like they have enough reason to secede from the competition, that they've seen things that they can't explain, are unable to let go of. So, from time to time people fall off of the mountain which society had been striving for and they content themselves selling fur blankets at the base camp while the determined dreamers continue trekking further up.
Okay, so a basic dichotomy here is the difference between the dreamers and the nondreamers. The first says, i have this idea i want to develop it it could take years but in the end it will be worth it (and, with a little luck the mountain has another victor at its peak) but the nondreamers they abandon all thoughts about what could be, they find they live in a society which runs like a well oiled machine, that humans are really only cogs in this machine, and that the life of a cog is maybe not that bad. I don't know, it's all subjective. But this dichotomy is essential for the world because as Flannery O'Connor said "it takes all kinds to make the world go round" so yeah, the nondreamers exist to keep society well oiled while the dreamers think up ways to change society with their ideals.
I guess I should address a third possibility, the existence of adreamers, people who look at both sides but then look at the system and laugh and say well, you can do whatever you want to, but in the end you are all just slaves to the system, so we're not gonna take it any more, we're gonna just disocciate ourselves from all the evils of the world, and that's it. Don't talk to me.
Another fact that throws this whole thing into further chaos is the age differential between everyone. When you got two 20 year old college students dreaming and dreaming about how one day they will change the world, these ideas will still be in place after they graduate and go into the world, and it is really this entrance into the world that decides whether or not they have found an answer or if they're still looking. Because, you are always going to be still looking. No rest in this life.
And then Coach Saban, he's a dreamer, and now he's on top of the world, but beneath everything is the philosophy of victory he had discovered back in college, and by nurturing this dream without really focusing on the outter world, he put himself in the righ circumnstances to win another National Championship.
So, here we have the preperaory dreamers contrasted with the hasbeen dreamer, and on a shallow level you could say, well if all dreamers construct for themselves a solid set of ethics that last throughout life, that this will enable the future dream to even closer approach reality.
It''s simple so far because i have been using single character examples, the only aspect of control ever seen in the world is the control one haves over oneself, fromhere spawn those adreamers. they got it figured out and who needs society? Me for one and any of us whis to change, but you adreamers can go hife away in the cave.
O, so now its the clash between dreamers an nondreamer escalates, a two sided battle.The dreamer leader speaks up first saying "Can't you see what you're doing is misunderstoodthat the present which we all live in is not as it first seems, the garbage water dripping from torn sacks in the back of the theatre what's the point of that it's just something decaying, and i don't dig decay.
The nondreamers wakes from a shor nap and combs his hair sideways and trimms his beard and gets in the shower and get the coffee amd newspaper and while sitting at the breakfast table he recognizes a hedline on the newpaper says people often have good idea what a load of baloney he may say for to some judge sitting high that well you have found a particularly strong telescope that will help us double check pluto. that dude's got it bad but the scientist never listened to the dreamer.
In the end, neither is better than the other. in the end thet terms don't really matter any more, what matters is that we each amphatamine brains hung in limbo by indecision come crawling out begging for a compromise.
I guess one solution to this is to test a person's true character, if they could do anything, what would we do, and separate them all out based on their responses. People who focus on the body do things hat focus on the body. people that focus on the mind do things that focus on the mind. and we're happy

The hippie bible
Not much to write right now, because before this movement can launch first all the believers and dreamers of the world must become acquainted with how the hippie movement actually started, learn how this movement was not just a blip on the radar of history, not just a reaction to a specific time and place but a larger thing, something that transcends time and space, the start of something beautiful, a new religion, a new philosophy, a new way to look at life, to embrace love, to embrace individuality. but all of these words I just typed are just words, they don't mean anything unless the reader has the same base of knowledge from which to proceed from, so as the first task in this hippie revival, I, as the spokesman, or what have you, for the continuation of this way of thought in our new era, command that each of you interested shall go out and read the book The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe. After doing so everything will be clearer.
