i'm realizing that i don't particularly give a shit about this thing that's happened in london. and i will say what a million people before me have probably said about that, which is that the greater tragedy is that you have to get so deep inside the newspaper to find that this kind of thing is pretty much happening every single day, these bombings, and on a larger level than 30 people, and the tragedy is that these lives aren't valued enough to make it to the damn front page.

all this to say that things are everywhere. this stuff is everywhere. the war that we are fighting is everywhere. the war that we are fighting is not disconnected from anything, anywhere. the war that we are fighting is within the human condition.

the fight to live like we want to live. the fight to love like we want to love. the fight to love like we want to LIVE, and to live like we want to love. the fight to be human like we deserve to be. and all that.

all this to say that all this is merged, all this is a part of the other parts, inseperably. which is why it's so important for us to do absolutely everything we can for ourselves, to make sure that we have carved out within ourselves and within our neck of the world something that can satisfy us. that's saving the world. freeing ourselves is saving the world. that has been said before.

we ourselves, we human beings, we ARE the balance between the potential and the actualized. the wizard and appleseed will both agree with me on this, for such has been the stuff of our correspondences lately, if a small part of the stuff. this has been the definite lesson of the past two weeks for me, personally, finding the point where i exist between everything that exists. seeing in a real way that we are nothing but vision. knowing that vision is realer than reality. that the actual lives inside the potential like a fetus in the womb. and not vice versa, at all.

this may be a lot of mumbo-jumbo. jumbo mumbo. it may be mumbly-jumbly. trying to untangle the mumble. what i mean is: because we are not seperate from the world, and the world is not seperate within itself, we can, and should, work from and in the localized point of our selves. also, the level at which the world is not seperated within itself is the level of formless idea and vision and imagination. reality--physical form and social construct and all that--divides it up, but is a part of it. so our vision is the world, our vision changes the world, when we engage our vision we speak to the world on its level. so dream, dream, dream, BIG. and you will move towards your dream, like it or not. dream selfishly! because you are more than your self, like it or not.
