Beginning with a change of perspective :)

.......Hmm. right. never shared my thoughts like this before........

Tonight is the night of reminiscing.  Each memorable event in my life has had a knock on effect to the next

Dominoes is the comparison i keep thinking of. No no, a special lamp post. (Il come back and explain that one later)

And its like, each of these memorable events belong to a particular phase in my life, which in turn each has particular memorable people, smells, visions, way of thinking, and most importantly, very particular emotions.

And when reminicing about each phase, the way i was feeling at that time comes forcing itself back into my heart, flooding, no, overflowing it to the brim with old emotions. And MUSIC. each one of these phases have songs attached to them, and its no ordinary attachment,  its like binded so freakin tightly, you start to hear only the first few notes of a song, and the mind suddenly explodes with these particular memories happening at these particular phases.......and it makes me think......how can reality be defined as now in the present moment what we see with our eyes. As powerful tool as they are, Maybe, just maybe, your mind is more powerful than anything, beyond anyones comprehension.

So, what would happen if you tried closing those eyes. When you do that, there is no visual distraction.. Then, maybe, start playing those songs so closley consumed with a phase (Considering a happy time in one of these phases  maybe more helpful). Break all the barriers that may exsist in the mind and the heart at that moment, and let all those  old memories take over. Those old feelings should start firing up, right through you, then reacting with your body and releasing the same chemicals that it did last time you felt like that.

If the mind has the power to literally transport you back to a happy moment in your life, making your body go through exactly the same experience as ir did back then, whilst just sitting in your bedroom with your eyes closed, then is reality really what is infront of you right now? Or is it what ever you WANT it to be, using your mind as the machine to make it?

And so on a another drunken adventure i was having a few nights ago, I was trying to help a lovely girl who couldnt understand a situation, why something didnt make sense. My words were "Well, ya see, life is like......" and i couldnt find the right word for that moment (shockingly me, out of words). I looked behind her and saw this image.

I continued "its like that lampost over there darling. Nothing is black or white, always grey. nothing is straight, otherwise how can we define straight, without something being bent in our lives?"

So, first positive and (hopefully) inspiring  conlcusion to take away and digest:

If reality is not always what you see with your eyes, and we need the bent things in our lives to define what is straight, clearly nothing is what it seems. So if you dont understand why something is the way it is, maybe its better to accept it and embrace it. And then know you have so much power, to change what we do understand, isnt it better to concetrate our efforts on that?

Ultimatly, You'd be making a difference to the world. Just like what im trying to do now
