"the most terrifying****have you understood this word? you are terrified******fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent, but if we can come to terms with this indifference, then our existence as a species can have genuine meaning. however vast the darkness, we must supply our own light." - stanley kubrick.
"Ye higher men, the worst thing in you is that ye have none of you learned to dance as ye ought to dance--to dance beyond yourselves! What doth it matter that ye have failed! How many things are still possible! So LEARN to laugh beyond yourselves! Lift up your hearts, ye good dancers, high! higher! And do not forget the good laughter! This crown of the laughter, this rose-garland crown: to you my brethren do I cast this crown! Laughing have I consecrated; ye higher men, LEARN, I pray you--to laugh!" Thus Spoke Zarathustra
upon your hearts***do your hearts become dizzzy?****, a crown?
Laughing you have awakened
to dance to a loss of forgetfullness
it is possible to practice good laughter!
thrown down Your rose-garland crown: to a meditative state consign yourselves!
What doth Laugh pray you laugh--to laugh! To dance--to dance beyond ye ought to dance to the laughter,
Eastern Sun Salutation high! higher!
EASTERN SUN SALUTATION!
These posture flows…produce ye good learned dancers, generating a host of flows. The I-laugh consecrated; ye in the same
let us laugh beyond ourselves!
Lift matter ye higher ones, LEARN,
beyond-I are still possible! How many things have failed! So LEARN
This dance of life
This smoking of cigarettes
And drinking of wine
Of traveling the journey
From here to here
This great graveyard of walking corpses
This display of patterns
Of habitual tendencies
Of light and life and death
From where we see it
This preparation of travel
This attention to detail
And flow of never before seen
Of forms and colors
Of what we see and interpret
This will and momentum
This karmic trajectory
Of journey and emptiness
Of love and compassion
The wisdom behind it all
This devil, this angel
This virtue and non-virtue
Of pre-determined moments
And the chance to change course
This perfect chaotic orgasm
This struggle, this absence of struggle
This freedom of the oppressed
This choice of ours
To choose happiness instead of sorrow
In this crazy world
This moment
This only thing that there is
This situation that can be no other
This confluence of all action
This is our creation!
Adorn it with flowers!
Adorn it with silk and honey!
Adorn it with the laughter of innocence!
Adorn it with the embellished truth!
Embellish it to find its true worth!
Dance in the destruction of the world!
Uplift yourselves and your world!
Relax in the glow of your perfect world.
Be the change you wish to see in your world!
Change inevitably, your world!
On Ginsberg! On Huxley! On Watts! On Trungpa!
On Campbell! On Tupac! On Sakyong Mipham!
On to the vision!
On to fighting the good fight!
On to Life!
