Sitting on a Fence

Do you ever shift back and forth between moral views? Even just the understanding of both sides can confuse you more than you can even fathom. What happens when you begin seeing the positive side of something negative? What is negative anyway? What constitutes a "wrong" desire? I suppose something you've experienced first hand that has caused wretched repercussions in a personal view would suffice for not having irresistible urges towards certain things.

Certain energies gravitate entities to certain things. Putting yourself in a situation that will hold something you're attempting to avoid will inevitably induce feelings of desire towards it. Where do you draw the line between forces? How do we determine pros and cons? There are so many good aspects to specific situations and so many life scattering ones; how do we weigh it all out? Even regarding people that influence you in a way you wish not to gravitate, is it possible to attempt to highlight the progressively positive things about them and not shed energy on the bad parts so you can regulate their influence upon you?

If there is a possibility of engaging in activities that are not right in your mind, it is the wisest decision to avoid any chance of said situation. As righteous as some people are, it can be imperative to distance yourself from some in order to achieve your goal. Do what you must with what you have when you can and you will prosper greatly from it.

Shifting The Present

Why is it that we try to heavily to create something of ourselves but refuse to destroy the things around us that are no longer necessary? Growth is a vital aspect of existence; destruction is a puzzle piece in which seems so negative yet does so much good. One cannot add to themselves without removing something in return. It can seem so melancholia to rid oneself of things that remind them of the good times that've occurred but those things also constrict one to the things that are gone. Life is a process of change, a series of events that are contingent upon one another but once they've past and brought one to their current state the only reminder one can need is that of their existence and growth. Don't grasp onto things that are no longer there, it'll distract you from what you are capable of. Throw away what you have and it'll clear your mind and allow you to move towards something that you've always wanted.

Altered States

There are piles of various ways people can expand their mind further than their own looking glasses. These include, but are most certainly not limited to, sensory deprivation, meditation, pain induction, and substance consumption - there are quite a pocketful of differentiations of which as well, from amphetamines to stress relievers to psychedelics. Everyone has a frame of mind contingent upon what they have been subjected to throughout their life and it is often limited to personal views and biases sprinkled about, usually not realizing their mental restrictions. It can be difficult to perceive things objectively, whether involved or not.

Some people exercise their minds through deep thought and concentration, affecting their nervous system if done properly. Others may take things that make them more capable of completing tasks that aid in productivity and efficiency, also causing them to feel what they are doing more intimately, making them more passionate about what they are doing thus weaving in more ingenuity. There are also rituals that cause deep relaxation and a more open mind with whatever happens. Various practices aid in expanding the mind, sometimes allowing one to get a completely different spin on things. There are doors that can be opened in the mind that can only be found with certain rituals, causing a flood of new insight and rapture for existence. If one chooses to carry out certain things to better oneself then I cannot see any problem with doing so. It merely depends on the purpose of the entity for doing such things. Moderation and intention makes the difference in the outcomes. Take control and allow your mind to reach its highest capacity. Dig through it.

Personalizing This Vessel of Ours

One of the most important things on people's minds, it seems, is to be self expressive. Of all the things we have to work with the body seems to be the most thought of. Some people build their muscles, others create holes for ornaments in various places, many have a design permanently etched in their flesh, and plenty try to emphasize features with cosmetics. This is just a small taste of the countless methods of diversity people use all over the world. The problem is that although our intention is to give ourselves character, we are primarily feeding our ego when we resort to these actions, and all of these actions morph into habits, all of which consume us and become our life. Aside from that, it's a rough way to treat this body that already has to deal with toxins, processed foods that we aren't meant to be metabolizing, everyday stress, any chemical that people may use to get by (pain relievers, tobacco, caffeine, etc.), and of course the odd cravings that so many humans possess to be rough with their pleasures.

Unfortunately, many folk these days resort to these once thought of as creative forms of releasing inner art merely for the appearance of it. Some do it to release endorphins, which was the basis of its attraction to me for so many years, but why get myself off for a puncture wound or continuous jab of a needle when I can go up a notch and create art with pencils and paints, or better yet, transcend that flowing energy through a musical instrument to get my kicks. I've noticed that since people have so many loop holes to get off without having to do much of anything, they simply do not opt to do nearly as many things to feel accomplished and elevated.

So what's the most intensely passionate way to transcend our creative messages? Body modification is beautiful, but many circumstances make them represent negative energies. To be honest, the most powerful way to release that inner soul is to spread it all around by emitting your waves of energy. Action is the most efficient way to expand the mind, the soul, the world - every entity is affected. It's breathtaking the impact every action has. I believe that the strongest, purest way to go about self expression is to carry things out that will contribute to the beauty of the world. If you can't find any beauty, put some in on your own. Maintain your body properly, it'll function much better, and allow it to speak for itself. You don't need to cover it with distractions to get your beauty across.
