a deconstructive manner

the reason why i now resent saying anything explicitly revealing, especially of the true nature of the self, whatever that may mean, or even if that existed, is that i now prefer, to keep things to myself. gone are the days of yapping incessantly here, because it is of no use, as it does nothing to make me ‘feel better’, because words, they can only do so much as to convey meaning, of defining things already in your head, only in a constructed manner.

so i prefer to do pretty much most of my thinking and talking aloud and imagine words being written when i stare into the ceilings. preferably in a low-light, or best in closed dark spaces zone. only no more grasping gestures to see my own hands, nor tracing letters. this way, spacing out for hours seems pretty much a viable option rather than writing things i would most likely edit and put in drafts. perhaps the number of my drafts here to the number of posts here is ten to one. absolute secrecy.
another thing to note is perhaps due to much reading. i am reading too much, too many things at once. by too many, of course, the ideas would be as less intriguing, since one book comes after another. not as effective. not as fascinating. we played the flute for you, and you did not dance. not much time for reflecting. impatience, i would call it. at this age, young as i am, time is fleeting much at a faster rate, and somehow we seem to rush things. a certain feeling of death looms besides me. so many things to do, to read, to watch, to practice, to play, to listen, yet what must be ultimately done is to cut away from all this. one day, definitely, i shall go and sit under my own bodhi tree. and sit. one of these days.

Go to bed, now. Quickly. Quickly and slowly.

internal disputes

oftentimes certain thoughts reach us from time to time that it is impossible for us to escape from what seems to be the greatest test for all mankind, that is, the power of freewill. if greatlyexercised, one may use it to such great lengths and achieve things beyond the norms of society. what one needs is only the will to will, and consciousness to do so.

but also, from time to time, one stops to contemplate on the limitations of free will. sure enough, one may have the power to to will, but one may not, have the necessary tools and strength to express and realize a will. such is how humans are conditioned to be, forever feeble and weak before the power of the absolute.
and so we enter the world of choices, whether to submit, or not to submit, whether to choose a path differently from others, whether to be or not to be, to be good or bad, or to transcend beyond good and evil (heh), or to let ourselves forever be carried away by the masses that continue to elude us into a future that is ultimately bleak and dull. here is where we are given the power to choose. life is, as J said, about the choices that are made, and however cliched that might sounds, it rings true.
torn between choices, fearing what consequences we might face, seeing every path as equally potentially bright as another, we face a dilemma. why not both? like al ghazali said, one must only choose on over another. either a world of worldly knowledge, or that of the afterworld. with so little time on earth, one must not hoard all knowledge, or he becomes a bananafish and dies out of greed, gaining nothing, and giving nothing in return.
so choose i must.
