Singular Place of Mind

[jerboa]

Still no one has found
What causes life to exist
The theories and ideas are crazy
Simple things from complex to hazy
Nothing makes sense in a world of mind
Madness and insanity was all I could find
Somehow I knew the truth is the reflection
That mind reacts in reactive dissection
Stretching it out into time and space
Like a thing that never was reflecting what is
Upon a surface that could be
Anything life is

It leads me to limitations I never knew
And more confined then ever realization grew
Like a dream forming humbled by thoughts
And unbuilt these walls without the limits I'd sought
And in my unbuilt home I approached something infinite
Understanding became clear, as illusion left fear
And my analogy of life that pivots in feeling
And feeling of life sails in that echo
There is still something
That can only see, when I stop looking
That can only see, when I stop pivoting
A shadowy flicker in corner of my eye
Hiding on my shoulder
In the back of my mind
Something thats not looking
Something not watching
The thing I can never see
As where ever I turn
It turns with me

I had wanted to add more to this, but I'll save it for another one. The brief of what it will be is how one persons illusions of another person become distorted through hating, and how those illusions can only be dispelled by the people involved if both parties realise the difference between their mind expectations and the other person/s involved.

Hi Jeboa,

A great poem and very insightful. I can tell you have given this a lot of thought. I believe it is a big step forward for us, when we become self aware enough, to realise that what we see is often a distorted view. Coloured by our own life experiences, and indeed our own expectations.

For me a big part of letting go of judgments even unconscious ones, was the realisation, that we cannot base our relationships with people on what has happened in the past. Each situation, is different and unique.

Often what does rankle us about others, is a reflection of what is within. Things we refuse to face. Hard to run away from what we don't like about ourselves when it is staring us right in the face isn't it! I believe, it takes great self honesty to accept this and courage to face it and work on it.

A great post, thank you for sharing.

Love and light
Kaz

That is very well said kaz, I think you described exactly what I've spent so much time contemplating. =D

Slight edit to the last line of the poem inspired by the way you just described this. Luke

Ps. Good to be back for a bit, had been away doing soul searching and mind searching.

I like it. I think like this also.

You are right it has to be both parties. You can be as honest and courageous as possible but if the other person is not involved aswell nothing happens. You have to find common ground.

There are exceptions to the case too I think. Some people you may not want to get back together with. So you just remember them and wish them well.
