Introspection

There are qualities that humans want to possess but have yet to be introduced to challenges that reinforce those qualities. To venture out and put emotions and feelings out in the open. We are excellent at creating circumstances within our control, but we lack agency to try and face ourselves and our struggles.

As I peer into the light, I notice a chasm of events that have shaped the future. The catalyst to speed up the reaction is drive, which lives deep in the forest of the self-conscious. A greenery with connections to form beautiful flora and light that has no end. This place gathers energy — weaving through the channels of thought to create a newness, a focus, a drive to understanding. Imagine a self-consciousness that is always in flow. Be obedient to the voice. I can hear a voice telling me to eat, sleep, and propel myself into action. I trust the voice. I understand how it guides me and gives me direction. I take the freedom that it allows me to transmit to other parts of myself. Here, I am.

The world presents itself in all forms. As conscious beings, we may not have to grace or awareness to let it drive thoughts and understanding. On the contrary, we can come back to the symphony of beautiful melodies and harmonies that come from brass, woodwinds, and percussive instruments. A sound that can be trusted and pleasant.

Imagine a home that is abundant in every way. A gathering of souls that share in experiences and personalities. The location is the conscious, the conversation is thought, and the entity is you.
