Symphony No. 9- Touched by the Force ~


Symphony No. 9- 
 
 
Touched by The Force ~


{Author's Note: I think that people are generally touched by the same experiences- but they never really give them a label. What if they were touched by something, and realized what it was- what if they realized they weren't afraid to fall? Or what if they found that blue blood was, contrary to what they'd always been told- actually green? What if they learned to extend beyond the matrix of how they had been raised, and realized that they were someone else than who they thought? I call this the force . . . something that we feel but we cannot name. Inspired by the above piece (and perhaps some holistic healing methods).}

 
. . .
 

This piece is magnetic. It offers up small glimpses of eternity. I could listen to this symphony fifty times over, and never run out at the end. It revolves through time like an encircling arc of light, lifts me through the stretch of space about me. I am passing through several different matrices as I hear this, living through a dream of the past- it embraces all of my lives-my past, present, and future all in one. If I believed in Nirvana, I think it would be my enlightenment. Each rendition strikes a new chord- and yet it is always the same one. I feel as though I am looking at several mirrors, in a stretch of midnight-blue. Some part of me reaches forward, an image that I cannot reflect in the dark- but it still lives. It is a bit frightening, really . . . like a second being I never knew I had, coming into the light, struggling against a sea of darkness.


Does this idea frighten you? Perhaps we can call it enlightenment. Alternatively, perhaps it is only a figment of the imagination, or if you like- a different way of thought. Perhaps the spiritual thinkers are correct: it is God reaching down to us through his hand, or maybe it resembles Nirvana . . . no matter how you view it, nothing can change its essence. There is an element in it, a magic, if you will, that mankind does not understand. It is the internal human struggling to cope with existence, to learn how to evolve to a greater being- to climb out of the intellectual abyss in which are we rut, and to reach something else . . . something wonderful. Something we do not understand. This is the human mind at its finest. This is moving out from the sectioned matrix; this is the force.

Celebrate Living ~

Keep reaching for the possibilities, and guess at what might be over that edge. What do you see over the new matrix? Is it impossible to climb it? It is. If you never climb, then you will only know the four sides of a square edge- the ends of reasoning- never knowing, never advancing to the next phase. Your mind is forever stuck in this box of reason that man has put his hands to making.

Do you want to live in a matrix? Would you be cut from a human's mindset, dangling like a puppet, wearing its painted goatee? Live- reach- and dream of time, and space, and energy- don't let the hand create your mustache! Instead, offer your life a vibrancy that will help us to grow and adapt, uncovering  new ideas in time and space- paint your image, and make a dress to call your own.  Potential is so strong- it is reborn every time someone crosses the next line, and finds a new pathway. Don't let fear hold you back.  Scour the ledges, ignore every cross-sign- do this until you finally die. This is the only way to lead a really 'good life.' This is the only way to truly be 'living.' Celebrate- don't waste the time you are given.

The Inheritance ~





           The Inheritance ~


Time is everyone's inheritance. No matter what the outcome, we all must live within its arc, whether it wraps us from behind, around, or lives within us . . . Some of us hold to a previous memory to stay strong, some of us evade our past lives, some let it chase after us. Sometimes I wonder if it is not so much what we do with our time that counts, but the way that we meet it. Truly, time is a tangible object. Not one that we can see, perhaps . . . But a living entity that we must greet. At some point, in some way- we all must meet it, in one way or another . . .

Personally, I chose to live inside the time. Doing everything I can within the moment as it presents itself. Sometimes I use it to seek out the future; for a few moments, I’ll reach beyond the reality of what I know, and distort the image . . . this is usually the scariest. In most cases, I found that it was easier to hold it inside of you- I think this manner of life charms it the most. This seems to reflect upon it wisely.

Time is held and cradled by some.  The wisest soul will learn to abide time, and to enjoy its present company. For that person, it becomes a gift that is rare and unique. There is no limit in the mind of she who cradles time-and no memory that, when pulled from its past world, becomes less than perfect before that one beholder . . .

This parable is filled with hidden meanings. You might consider, perhaps, your own role in the piece, and the way in which you greet time. Upon reflection, I assure you that you will find that your role in it to be essential; it is a rare key that most do not hold, one that is able to unlock inimitable charm and grace. In the end, though, I hope that you will consider it your gift of inheritance, and use it well.
