the abstaction of reason

Post by sweetwater » October 15th, 2013, 2:01 pm

Your consciousness
is anarchy—the great scientists; they all think.
The thinking may be more complex,
by the virtues you create to confuse and abstract
the lie is necessary lest it be construed as self interest

but thinking is general, the vested part of spreadsheets
as if one thinks in terms of the service of another
in the context of one's own annihilation
or that the truth cannot be defended
in the context of a lie

we are so conditioned as it is
as individuals. It is not an
individual thinking. Thinking is common, is general,
from the poorest man, the most uneducated,

unsophisticated man in a little,
tiny village to the most
sophisticated

all sustained and shared by all human beings.

This is rather difficult to see
and to recognize the truth of it,
and nourish this idea,
this concept of an individual.

You have to find out the truth of the matter. -
call yourself the old and acquainted

start a commune of worshipping tea leaves or idols
eat meat and red wine
sing songs
and celebrate

those without measure
having travelled beyond the scope
and pretense

of objectivism and to become

the measurement of ourselves
in light of the measurment of many things
called pleasure or the pleasuring items
and objects that confess our worth

the mind is pure perception
perceiving itself in a vacuum

as information without context

the measurement of an abstraction
an ascetic virtue to deny oneself
the pleasure of things

we are selfless
or much amused by words

as if we are or exist
within the context of a sentence

or paragraph

for that which cannot contain
or relate

as if the picture represents
the art

itself

or the art represents
the mind separated from
the object

that the viewer takes

what you see is not you
but the illusion of your aspirations
you longing your deisre

flourishing into moments
of self admiration

as if seeking attention
for the purports of pleasure

instant gratification

and wanting more,
