Palaces of harmony
Today during a session of windsurfing, I looked upwards and long above was the top of the mast. But seemingly by the infinite were the clouds in the sky. I feel certain that all my concerns floated away into space in that moment as my mind shifted to include this vastness. It was a strange feeling, once you notice it, but truth is, such phenomena is, at least in my own experience quite common. It happens anytime your mind looks at the unseen horizon. But once this happens, the concerns are suddenly merely two small fish in an ocean of mind. Isn't it funny in this life, that we are easily taught to think, that we as a species have achieved much, when the mind that knows nothing of nothing, would so easily point out a finger and ask, why is there so much suffering there? Or why the domineering culture knows so little of love? So far we have come!, Is the cry from the prestigious. And who would be so un-prestigious as to deny that? Who would wear that big orange hat of shame. When the prestigious tells us, the marvelous achievements in the wake of our direction. What would we do, if the highest reached down in ways that could not be fought with bullets and human lives, and told us that which we all deep down know to be true, that we are doing terribly. That we have let ourselves corrupt, each and every one of us sold out in the one divine task we were set here on earth to complete, to defy the earthiest of the earthliest: to defy fear of death. And if that which binds us to earth is not unbound, how could we even suppose the ascending winds could carry us upwards into some heaven? Imagine even that civilization, that had far surpassed the border of mind that is the fear of death. Imagine their palaces of harmony, their songs of love and ecstasy, imagine their simple genius. It is, as the brush paints the image, in no way entangled in technology and science, no it is much rather one of colors, simplicity, nakedness, one of beauty and ecstasy. There are no bankers, no politicians, no limits and law, this we know. It is a place of absolute effortlessness - not self control. We all know this when our thought is pure, if we do not know this, the situation is direr than I thought. Theres a tongue twister for ya.. Yet why do we hesitate on moving the right way? Can we really proceed to be so astounded by german automobiles, golfing outfits, the taste behaviors of the Barolo wine, how real men drinks, the naked female body and the act of intercourse? Ugliness is disharmony of the visual, why do we not follow beauty? Who has ever known of aesthetics talking well of politics, laws or money? The aesthetics tells no lies of glory in compromise, in spending the majority of waking life in an office and on the couch. No, aesthetics, has always advised against such things. Advised against self restraint and submissiveness. Advised us to follow our hearts, for good as well as bad. Aesthetics speaks of the highest as, simple, effortless, free and beautiful.. The direction is clear and always has, why do we not follow? It is so simple, Lets go! The time to hesitate is through! Its fun time from here! Fun time right around the corner! And that will not be a lie.
