Even Keel Signal Change

"What do you see, Man of God?"

"It is a story with more beauty than this."

She does not respond, so my perception settles where I am. I see trees and bushes, a train and buildings, and a divine search nearly complete, but seemingly stuck in this state of moving halfway before the whole. I close my eyes, and let the scenery filter in, precisely where it seemed to be just before closing them. I replace my remark on the record.

"It is a story equivalent to this, but with the potential for a beautiful outcome."

She *SNAPS* my fingers for me. 

"So it will be."

I realize that the date of even keel is just over a week away. How long these days drag on, despite no single day taking so very long. It is enough to drive anyone, perhaps everyone, insane. Still, I press on, my escape route still not feeling as important or as pressing as seeing what God might have in store. If this particular keel within me unbalances as well, reality may change entirely without warning for others. Why dwell on hypotheticals though, when the world around me is new, and now brims with potential beauty?

Step by Step On The Open Ocean

"Gentlemen, prepare Yes, there is danger ahead But we are heroes. Written in our code It is in our DNA We've earned skin and scars These seas of logic Are full of 'paradoxes' We have dynamite. We sail through winter Eyes scanning for a Spring Day On the horizon Omelas be damned. Let waves wash worst days from mind Best are yet to come We seek a shared realm With no more dream(s) to distract Though they might buoy Our blood sweat and tears Will be worth each step taken Our footfalls swear it They say 'life goes on' Perhaps it does on some shore Here, we claim the NOW!"

Disentropic

So, someone else's presence, from one's own perspective, is a combination of signals in the brain. The sight of them, the sound, the feel, everything, from one's own perspective regarding the other that they perceive, is ultimately these brainwaves, in a familiar pattern. This intertwines with the the idea that consciousness is these brainwaves, our bodies carefully constructed compilations of sensors and machines designed to generate these waves and in turn be driven by them. I can imagine, and even have seen firsthand one night, hallucinations so vivid that they are indistinguishable from real people. Granted, personally I did not touch these others, but they were visible and plain as day. They acted as if they were real, and spoke audibly; I had no basis to say that they were not real except in retrospect, in the context being broken. So, looking at this from the perspective of strictly consciousness, given the right combination of factors and stimuli, my brain saw and h...

Tools fly with vigor Like never before seen here "Prepare for the (end/start)!" A cacophony  Fortunately I've run these Paths made for no man Control my first pass Who would ever seek second?? Rebalance, conserve. My soul is sealed off  Your teeth gnashing only chaff Bitter and hollow Love my enemies If you cannot love your own They will teach you love. Love's lesson quite hard Once called "Not for faint of heart." Now all must witness. Redefining "all" In the space between heartbeats To "all that witness." There is no time left. You have spent yours as you want. Now we do the same.
