Instant Deindividualizing

Note: This writing is part of the Coins That Shatter the Mirror cluster, reposted from my earlier archives as part of the BetweenSparks project. Read the full cluster on Wattpad.

*poem and statement

*Inspired slightly by Ishmael by Daniel Quinn

______________

History of Our Path:

A moment of instancy, gliding into prehistory,
Only a squatter based upon plunder.
Descendants of ancient sapians; ideological immaterialians.
Generations paved decay, began to material away.
Over time loss of pathism values; atomizing individualisms.

The Materialian Reign:

The instancy of the moment, winded by contradictory.
Plunder our lineage in hopes of kingship and power;
Supremacist knowledge. Disregard modern moralians,
New ways of infinitely being astray...
Social individuality. Generation-less Me. Selfism.

*Go back to the source of the oldest written path, way or discipline. Go back to many different ones. There are common threads, explore them. You'll know they are ethical threads and overtime have overlapped consistently - especially with the fact, we do not practice them as living, breathing individuals in our moral decision making.  To be truly ethical, is to know the history of ethical contemplation and philosophy - many ancient, modern and contemporary philosophers will wear the mask of historian. To think 'ethics' is to not solely think about morals, but the objective paradoxes that come out of moral dilemmas.  There is no question, objective morals exist: no ONE person can say genocide or random killing is GOOD.  This means, we are born with a basic moral map to be ethical with others.

We have grown to believe we are able to leave ethics to ethicist, and the philosophy to philosophers.  We are all equipped with the ability to be self aware of our own individual circumstances and environments as well as the circumstance of others - at least a great deal of people. Now more than ever with the internet (and other techno-progressions), can we learn about others behave, think and believe.  Sources are a question of concern, but at least with multiple sources there is more knowledge of relative data that may make some sources look poor or better.

Ethics... Is not the main issue. But at the same time it is.

The problem with our current day standards of living, is the belief we are destined for better standards of living... The 'we' being individual, but, sometimes meant to mean 'all of us'.

The Philosophy of the “Self”

Note: This writing is part of the Coins That Shatter the Mirror cluster, reposted from my earlier archives as part of the BetweenSparks project. Read the full cluster on Wattpad.

“The unexamined mind is a waste.”
Critically thinking is the paste.
Understanding of cognition,
To avoid limitations.
Think simply, what is universal?
What do we all share non-controversial?
“Words used to convey thoughts,
When thoughts are grasped, words lost.”
Languages are a manifestation,
Of cultures and perceptions.
As life goes on, we create biases.
Polluting our opinions of silences.
Unaware in how much we all have in common,
Truly, we are all from the same garden.
Pursue in finding the connections,
To discover personal disconnections.
Thinking about thinking can be maddening.
Often it can correlate saddening.
Deep thinking can put you at the bottom of a well,
Frequently it can make you feel like hell.
But, to do otherwise proves damaging.
To not self-reflect is most unravishing.

FOREWARNING:

Thinking about thinking can be maddening,
Often it can correlate saddening.
Awareness does not mean happiness,
Enlightenment can bring sadness.
But, to do otherwise is damaging,
to not reflect on life is unmanaging.
"The unexamined mind is a waste"
Start critical thinking, make haste!

ZEN KOAN:

Flag waving to the breeze,

The flag does not move,
The wind does not move,
The mind is what moves

Who I Am = What is Human

Note: This writing is part of the Coins That Shatter the Mirror cluster, reposted from my earlier archives as part of the BetweenSparks project. Read the full cluster on Wattpad.

*Think you are special? Think again... 
_________________________
"There is no self without relations."
Enlighten cognition, avoid limitations.
Beware in how we are all built.
Conjured from the same silt.
Patternicity curses the human race.
Vicious cycles of happiness, loses face.
Think simply, what is universal?
What do we all share non-controversial?
Words are used to convey thoughts,
When thoughts are grasped, words lost.”
As lives unfold, we develop biases,
Polluting our opinions of silences.
Shallow attachments create self lies.
Deep awareness destroys these guises.
Duplicating nurtures unremittingly.
Mirror; educators, friends, and family.
Band wagon is nature, but have balances.
Equal amount of skeptic-faith allowances.
Thinking of self, ignoring others, proves damaging.
Reflection via nature vs. nurture; ravishing

Communcation Dialogue (Flawed Limitations and The Golden This)

This piece was originally written in 2013. It is part of my archive project, now being revisited and edited in 2025 under my Wattpad series Between Sparks. You can read the refined version here: [https://www.wattpad.com/BetweenSparks]. .

__________________________

"Listen to my meanings, not my words"

Semantics have their own limitations!
Quickly analyzing suffers shallow anticipation
Resolving with many disqualifications,
STOP THE DEVASTATION,
Listen to more than the encryption and description.

Logical processing becomes flawed!
One plus one is all
Applying math to words makes the letters fall.
Some say "it's rational to make up laws"
Others say "as long as you do not draw the short straw."

Rhetorical disputes of cause and effort!
Rant, preach, teach or lecture,
To use a scapegoat or not, that is the tester.
Persuading, in nature, more righter or wronger?
Perhaps the divine pressure can make you stronger.

____________

"Hey, how do you know this?"
"I feel as though I do"
"That does not mean you KNOW this!"
"It means the absolute truth exist within itself"
"What does that to do with this?"
"I do not have to remember the names of the researchers or theorist, or know them at all, I have to know what the goal is, and by extension this is in process and necessity of that"
"So you do not know this, but you think you know what the point of that is?"
"Indeed"
"What?"
"The same place you are looking to get, the singular point."
"What's the point?"
"Exactly - there may be no point, but most likely there is one. Just like this conversation, knowledge exist within communication abilities. I may not know the exact nature of this that will make you satisfied, but I do know when you have connected the dots which seem to not connect, you find more off the not-answers to make the answers more likely so."
"So.... you really do not know this?"
"This is relative to that, I know some of that and its supervenes on this, so I do, but not to your standards"
"Then why argue for this?"
"Because this is worth arguing for!"

Comparing Cosmic Consciousness

Note: This writing is part of the From Silence to the Cosmic Abyss cluster in my BetweenSparks project. Read the full cluster on Wattpad.

*Aliens do exist - humanoid animals for another planet, potentially thousands to millions of years older.  Whether you believe that or not, is your issue, not mine. However, to even slightly consider this truth, their existence calls into question our normative life styles.

___________________

Are we alone on the journey of supernatural contemplation?
Is our planet, and its inhabitants being questioned by ancient aliens?
Masters of the animal kingdom, on earth, what about the universe?

Who are they in our conception, giant tortoises...
What do they find contentment in, Lord Jesus...
Where are our cosmic cousins making coitus
When will our cultures collide and coddle
Why would they converse, and not anal fondle?

Properties of earthlings;
ape ancestry
existential drives
mono-genitalia
pragmatic patternist
verbal communicationist

How are their living conditions: daisies or lotus'?
Have they began to question their own focus?
How are ours? Have we? Don't choke the artist

We have ignorance paralleled to bliss, mass death, poor disproportion of feed,
children suicides, social theft, gang violence and (did I mention) corporatized greed?

Transcending these short comings for the benefit of future humans! But how?

The nature of our conditions and practiced conducts should be compared to our cosmic cousins; looking for aliens with analogous faces, places and sensations with advanced economic fascinations.”

Seeking Star Trek sanctity:
Satisfying celestial insecurities
Searching for secrets of the stars
Warp speed star-ships sailing soundlessly

Steer the spaceship towards the nearest exoplanet,
and GO!
Off into the unknown!
Off to the next Goldilock Zone!

pretenious pattern

This piece was originally written in 2013. It is part of my archive project, now being revisited and edited in 2025 under my Wattpad series Between Sparks. You can read the refined version here: [https://www.wattpad.com/BetweenSparks]. .

*The italic text is the universality of human limits and flaws
*The regular text is dialogue between two girls talking behind another girl's back
*Some of these lines will reappear; this poem was a compilation - it's not very good

Mean Girl Patterns

As life grows we make biases
Alters beliefs of silences

"What did you mean she doesn't dream?"
"Her thoughts are shallow and unclean!"

False affections create self lies,
Deep awareness destroys these guises.

"Maybe you don't agree with her?"
"How can I? Just look at that hair!"

Copying unremittingly;
Mirroring friends and family.

"Isn't that your mother's style?"
"My mom is a bird with guile!"

The band wagon is natural
Hard to resist such faculty.

 "I guess you're right, she is a mess!"
"Told you so! Just look at her sweat!"

Words are used to convey thoughts,
When thoughts are grasped, words get lost.

"What was her first offense to you?"
"I don't know, was always askew"
