Ah, yes, this tune. I feel summoned, enlightened, motivated- to arise at those ever present gates of dawn. From the comfort of weightless sleep. Dreamless nights full of dreaming. Living in the sin of bliss, envying what wasn't even really real in the first place. Or is it real? It is sure to exist, though intangible. It is as real as our imaginations. Fuck.
That tune again. Suddenly I am without those concerns for the moment. Arise. I hear what feels like music, though to the trained ear, I hear it is not quite what I am hearing. Everything looks in place, just as the dreamless nights full of dreaming detailed. However, at a moments glance, you can see that the pied piper is playing his tune, fraught with hope yet a litany of disaster. This is not music to the ears, rather a path to those very gates of dawn which happen to be the gates to life. There are days this gate to life opens for opportunity, to other days it brings.. other things.
The picture was right there all along. It was the tune which lead you to see something different. At night you see that bird fly so quickly and free, as to glide through the dark like water. Only to turn into that bat which brings the question - was it ever really a bird in the first place?
Everyone has a number of senses that are used in a daily basis. These senses are like instinct. However, they are as much instinct as breathing. Is it something we just know to do, or something that doesn't really matter what you think about it, because it is necessary to live. However, with these "instincts" come a way to incorporate them for other things. Such as controlled breathing is an extremely helpful part of many forms of meditation. Learning to control other senses can have other advantages as well. Learn to look at things without sound. Not in the way a deaf man would, but rather without suggestion or sway, without jade or contrast. Look at something for just what something is, and nothing more. I am not saying to look at situations for just what they look at and assume that is just what they are. If you follow your sight, you'll find it all too easy to get lost, or to live the life of an ignorant. There shouldn't be a problem to look at life with just the sight of things to put everything in place, then to look at it with more sound until the situation is more sound. But this technique will start to show that many things are just as they seem. With that in mind, there are thousands of concepts that could be involved. I wouldn't dare start to discuss them.
"Don't always judge a book by it's cover."
No - don't always judge a book by it's cover. However, if you look well enough, you will find that you can always judge a 'book' by it's cover. Understand that there is always more than seen and don't trust first thoughts. However, there is an extreme amount of information that you can learn from a person just by seeing them. Regardless to how any situation may be, there is always a connection between personality and appearance. Not just clothing, but skin, hair, eyes, oh so much can be learned from the eyes. Every part of a person can be a tool to learning that person. The same idea can be based for a concept, a situation, a problem. This looks like this, so it must be this. While that is true, and this is this, now we can see that this is this with a little touch of that. Perhaps even deeper this also has a lot of something else in it. So we have a this with some that and a lot of something else. Even though the inside shows so much potential for so much more, regardless, understand that it is still a this. All the potential in the world can only change what the personality or situation is, but can never change the fact that there is always a past, there is always a trail, there is always a story to tell, and it can all be traced by the way it appears and can be pieced together like a puzzle.
Don't think it is as easy as it sounds. It only looks that easy. There is still some thought that is required. You can't just see something and figure out anything you need, or just see if for what it is. Understanding a person takes more than just seeing them for the first time. Though people for example, vary with results. Very much depending on the situation or timing or really many things. Situations can be a bit easier. Understanding things are much easier when you know the whole story. But you don't always have to. If you are willing to thing and figure. Which can be one possible reason why other peoples problems usually seem to be easier for you to vindicate. Like the idea of morals, to know how you feel about things, but everything is different when your actually involved. So that looks like, in that situation - the idea of moral situations aren't quite what they looked like at all. But that is just the way it sounds. You weren't really ever looking at the moral situation until you were involved in it. You were only thinking about it, seeing vicariously though other people, however seeing things for what they are has to be an autonomous situation.
Look into your own life. Don't listen to yourself, or how you even feel about things. Those things come into play after. First, what are the situations you are in, for what they really are. If you aren't happy with something, figure how you can be. You only live this life as who you are once, don't let it pass you by just because. Plans help, but don't plan your life by, act. But of course, it only looks that easy. Remember, in the end, all that you are is all that you do.
