Open up your eyes

Narrow

People are so concerned with the tiny little details that they lose out in looking at the whole picture.

They lose themselves. They start being conventional. They follow norms and rules and standards.

They become a product of the factory making society of our system.

They come out like the others, identical in shape and sizes… conditioned perform the same functions.  

They become ordinary. They live to serve their master’s purpose and die without a trace.

They serve others when they do so much more then that.

I pity their existence and i vow that i will not follow their conventions.

In fact i will be the factory operator behind the system.

Choose your route wisely… or it will choose you.

Target

by | | World

Once you set your aim  
Never stop believing in it
Never give up 
Work towards it
No matter what others say
Don’t let them affect you.

Keep working towards it
And you will finally reach there.  

Flashes

by | | World

Our reality is made up of our perception of the world.

Sometimes when i see people around me, i see them in flashes.

There will be someone running in front of me, in a flash, he is gone.

There will be someone crossing the road, a car goes past, in a flash, he is gone.

I have been seeing things around me in flashes for a long time.
Sometimes i don’t know what is real and what is not.
Drifting in and out of reality conciousness

It gets to me sometimes, then i will start thinking about my life
and what i want to accomplish.

I don’t want to be like the ordinary human being,
whose lifetime on earth will be once forgotten when he is gone.
“Flash” and that is it, removed from the traces of history.

I feel quite afraid to think about it, that our existence is so limited
our physical bodies are so fragile… it disintegrates over time and
soon enough we are getting old and weak… ashes to ashes… dust to dust.

Maybe i am too affected thinking about death.
I saw my uncle during chinese new year, happy and joyful
Yesterday, he died of a heart attack. He was in his 60s.

Life is just so unpredictable…
Maybe that is why i wrote my will.

Have you thought about what will happen when you are gone…?

Wiccan

by | | World

Been reading a book about the early human civilisation.

“History is written by the victors, the losers become marginalised.”

It is quite a point to note that during the stone age,
Women were the leaders of the tribe while the men went out to hunt. 
Men were expendable, one man can impregnate several women.
So women stayed in the caves to carry on the bloodline while the men
risked their lives in danger to hunt for food. While the “wounded healers”
became the “wise ones” who developed spiritual powers to provide
healing and wisdom (such as the location of water sources) to the tribe.

After the stone age, everything turned around and men started taking control.
Women were suppressed and the wise ones became labelled as witches.
The innocent were burnt at stake for being suspected of “worshiping the devil”.

We lost our roots that connected us to Mother Earth and its gifts.
The land that we walk upon, the air we breathe, the water we drink
and the fire that gives birth to life. The world is in chaos because we
had lost our spiritual self that connects us with earth.

In order to gain back our spiritual self, we have to start being aware of
the Universe. The universe gives us whatever we ask for. The resources
on earth are here to serve us.

I am agnostic by religion (someone who believes it is impossible to know if god exists)
I am open and receptive to all religions, but i am drawn to the New Age movement.
It makes sense that we have to connect to the world in to find a purpose in our lives. 

(Note: Religious sensitivity. Views are subject to the author’s experiences)
 
I have been reading about witchcraft, the occultism and paganism
for a few years. I find that wiccans (or magick practitioners) are a
misunderstood bunch. I find that their religion is purest of all religions
because they worship Mother Earth. They use nature gifts and blessings
to create spells to heal the people around them.

Then again there are the dark practitioners who use dark magick to
create curses instead. (Not all Roman Catholic Priests are holy either)

I find it quite fascinating to read up on religions (i am not a witch btw)
The idea of being connected with nature to gain spiritual balance is an
interesting concept altogether.

Vincent van Gogh

by | | World

 

Between November of 1881 and July of 1890, Vincent van Gogh painted almost 900 paintings. Since his death, he has become one of the most famous painters in the world. Van Gogh’s paintings have captured the minds and hearts of millions of art lovers and have made art lovers of those new to world of art. The following excerpts are from letters that Van Gogh wrote expressing how he evolved as a painter. There are also links to pages describing some of Vincent van Gogh’s most famous paintings, Starry Night, Sunflowers and The Potato Eaters, in great detail.

Van Gogh Sunflowers

Van Gogh firmly believed that to be a great painter you had to first master drawing before adding color. Over the years Van Gogh clearly mastered drawing and began to use more color. In time, one of the most recognizable aspects of Van Gogh’s paintings became his bold use of color.

About a year before his death Van Gogh predicted that there would be a great “painter of the future” who would know how to use color like no one else and would become the future of painting. He expressed this in a letter to his brother Theo in May of 1888,

During his lifetime Van Gogh was never famous as a painter and struggled to make a living as an artist. Van Gogh only sold one painting during his lifetime The Red Vineyard. This painting sold in Brussels for 400 Francs only a few months before his death.

Vincent van Gogh died at the age of 37 bringing his career as a painter to an end, but beginning his legacy as the great painter of the future who inspired the world.

About a week after his death, Van Gogh’s brother Theo wrote to his sister Elizabeth about Van Gogh’s legacy as a great artist,

“In the last letter which he wrote me and which dates from some four days before his death, it says, “I try to do as well as certain painters whom I have greatly loved and admired.” People should realize that he was a great artist, something which often coincides with being a great human being. In the course of time this will surely be acknowledged, and many will regret his early death.”

Advice for The Artistically Inclined

by | | World

The Arts

This includes drama, poetry, fine arts, among a few other stuff. Intellectual stuff. There is math to everything, and these are not exceptions. Be thankful you’re getting taught some math, because real math is nothing like what schools have in their textbooks. Also, it doesn’t matter if you fail throughout the route. Some things definitely get inside your mind, and that’s enough to survive in this world. You’ll not be the fittest, but you will be fit.

Those who challenge the flow and are able to see 10-20 years in the future are the ones that do badly in terms of academics. A paper which says you can do this and that is not valid everywhere. Those who go by the book, with the flow, the goats, are the ones that will serve the puppets of the puppets, and will be the examples of “good students”. In truth, they are only moulded – they don’t mould themselves.
Quoted from gutturalpiss.

I wish i had been told this earlier, but i managed to survive the rigidity of the systems so far.
I have a different perception of things, some people can’t accept them so they try to find a way
to say stuff to defend themselves so they can keep living in their own little world of theirs.

The Power of Positive Thinking

by | | World

I used to be a very negative dark person who is skeptical of the world and the people around me. I hide myself in a cell, refusing help from all directions. Drowning in my misery.

When i read dark literature nowadays, i get flashbacks of my past. One of my friends says that my poetry has lost its “touch”… i can’t seem to find a reason to write dark poetry when i am so happy with Jeri worshipping me like a goddess. 

You see, i have been reading self help books. There are just some things in school that we don’t learn about the real world. The secret to success is relatively simple. It has to do with the mind. We attract what we ask for. Why do people stay poor all their lives is because they say negative stuff like “i am uneducated, unskilled and i can’t find a job” and it becomes their reality. WHEN they could change it around by just saying “Qualifications doesn’t matter, i have what it takes to succeed” and BOOM the universe will give them what they ask for. 

Before Jeri came into my life, i asked for someone who will truly loves me for who i am. I asked the universe for someone to protect me and guide me from all harm. When Jeri came, the universe was responding to my request. If i had not believe that someone like Jeri would come along, i would probably still be a depressed+not eating+sleeping well and not doing artsy stuff like writing a script and photoshoots (can you see the difference it makes!?)  

It might sound like bullshit but that is how the world works. Pick up any self help books and they will say the same.  Because we doubt what we could receive for asking, we might not receive it. By casting all doubts and negativity aside, we will get what we ask for.

I have been staying away from negative people ever since i found this out. I can’t stand them. It irks me to be around them. Especially people who manipulate others to attain their means. I believe in a win-win situation when it comes to business. Both sides should benefit, it balances out the equilibrium. By taking advantage of people, it destablizes and karma will make up for it.

Then again, majority of the people around us are pretty negative. They doubt and doubt and question and question our calibers and use it for comparison for some make believe competition in their head.

The only way is to not let them get into your head! Tell them to fuck off and look at themselves before criticising others.  I don’t exactly say that out loud, but they are trying to put some negative influence to cripple the people around them so they will always stay “below” their level. Remember that before letting other’s bring you down in future.
 
  

Geniuses

by | | World

Geniuses are mentally unstable people
Who have weird habits and views of the world.
Who can’t differentiate reality from fantasy
Or facts from fiction.

They are outcasted introverted beings
That live in their own world of things
Because others don’t see what they see
They are either worshipped or unnoticed
at the current time and place of their being.

They have several gifts in tradeoffs for
severe weaknesses, that they hide.
They usually have a disorder of some sort
in their mind… the world spins around at
a haywire speed that controls their senses
as they do extraordinary feats in short periods of time.

I believe that we are all geniuses in our own special way.
