Random incoherence

I muse on the meaning of things. On the meaning of love and the meaning of hate. The power of life comes from the passion of our hearts and souls. The power, when pure, leads us to deeds and actions of love and honor. No...not pure...nothing is pure. Our power and hearts as humans are tainted. Tainted by fear. Fear guides our every waking moment. It is indeed the source of our humanity. That which we hold most dear, that which "separates" us from our cohabitants on this earth, our power of intelligence, vanishes in moments of fear, of abject terror. Yet it is in these moments, stripped of our power, that we find the truth of ourselves. "Instinct" as we call it. An ugly, flawed term for something we do not understand. In these moments we discover that part of us which is unchanging, eternal. Our humanity, our place in the whole of our species (another ugly word for something transcendent.) This is our foundation, our rock, upon which we build our lives. When the stone is tainted or flawed, whatever we build is flawed as well, no matter the ornamentation (disguise) we add.

When the temple is flawed, unstable, it must be torn down to the foundation and built anew. Never in a persons life is it too late to rebuild. But the temple must be cast down. Only then can we start anew.

My heart is poisoned. Tainted. Sick. There is a greatness in me, someone who can make a difference. But that man is buried under a false temple. I must find him. I must find the beginning. But certain things must end.

The three stages:

The Physical--The core, the source, the clay. The flesh must be strong to be molded, to provide the foundation. But the flesh will one day fail all of us...therefore....

The Mental--Nothing is possible without first physical strength, but with the foundation the mind is free to expand to grow, to strenghten the body in turn. But in turn, one day the mind fails us all as well. It is only through the harmony of mind and body we find the key to the ultimate, the eternal...

The Spiritual--The pinnacle. Harmony. Unending. Impossible without the physical and mental, yet will outlive both if carefully cultivated. The ultimate goal of our lives.

When all three are in harmony, nothing can interfere, for we have unlocked the source. The Enlightenment. Heaven. Nirvana. Bliss. Life. Eternity.

Thanks for reading. Until next time.
