the world is a much bigger place...life looks different from behind the window of a moving car...things swirl by in motion at different rates-therefore time is different for the Explorer on foot...the Explorer on foot walks upon the skin of the earth as if walking on his own skin...the earth and the universe as self...the vehicular traveler-isolated-disengaged from direct communion with nature observes the world speeding by...passive mind...meditative thoughts...the wellspring of creation...looking under rocks for signs of life...creatures that thrive in the darkness of log-rot...fear and fascination...learning about electricity for the first time...making small light bulbs glow takes many batteries...will not work properly unless there is a complete circuit...universal principle...all positive and negative terminals must be connected-aligned...same as magnetism...here is a great mystery: positive/negative-North/South...everything is cycles...reading book about powers of the mind...can sense-feel that physical matter can be manipulated by the mind...concentrate hard...close eyes...believe...no results...something left out...blocked somehow...what is blocking me?...flirtations with the martial arts...calm deliberation in one's actions...protection-power...elegantly moving bone-muscle-mass through time-space...no longer stepping on the universe’s toes but dancing with it...mesmerized by fire...what substance are flames?...they move-dance with a sort of intelligence...something real-tangible but untouchable...dangerous beauty...being surprised by a spider then seeing myself through its eyes...the spider as self...strong sensation of awareness of the presence of another life form...sharing consciousness...looking into mirrors...seeing other worlds...a small window to which my mind can travel into-through-around...do I look into the reflective world of the mirror or am I the reflection of someone else looking in?...saw magic trick...coin disappeared in midair...some magic is real...music-art-writing...the ability to touch another soul...to evoke real emotion by the expression of sounds-images-words is magic...dreaming of the source...all is one...answers to everything because there are no more questions...ultimate knowledge...ultimate peace-for a time...connected to everything...we are all one...during conscious state-partitions in place to block access to universal consciousness...we are all one-but separate...there are ways to gain access...insights-glimpses...the conscious human mind was not intended to retain ultimate awareness...only in death do we return to the source...life=struggle...chick must break through egg shell as a demonstration of its will to be born...to live...seed sprouts break through the soil...human existence is to fight a losing battle with gravity...in the end gravity prevails...to live on is to continue to struggle...to enter into motion...karma is motion...life is motion therefore karma=life=struggle...life is a game...perhaps the ultimate game...life is a choice...to go on living is a choice...all things must come to an end sometime...more cycles...birth and death...crest and trough...on and off...life does not have to be preserved indefinitely...some death is honorable...death is as natural as life...life is illusion...self as an illusion...there is always a choice...there is a way out of the illusion...death=game over...
