Seeing Plainly

What does it mean to see the world plainly ?  If you have ever wanted to clear your thoughts and be blank then I can assure you it's impossible to have "nothing" on your mind.  However...... hahaha however.... There is a little trick I like to use called "reading".  Please live how you want to live.  Don't let people pressure you into things you don't want to do.  No matter what it is they are trying to pressure you into doing, if you are being pressured then you will be doing it for the wrong reasons.  The most important thing is living life at your own pace.  With that being said, I want you to just read what I'm saying.  I'm trying not to sound all smart and good at writing with this post.  I just want to help and explain my views.  The way I have learned to read things is by first learning myself.  After I did this, I was no longer searching for answers in my own life.  Now I could actually focus.  It's the greatest feeling on earth to find an answer to all this.  I think straight up love is a good enough answer for anyone.  So after I was comfortable and happy with my life, I learned that all the people who are struggling are just lost.  Everyone has problems.  I'm not denying that.  But I think that if you truly had an answer then you would know you could turn to that answer for any problem you have.  The type of answer I'm talking about is just a base.  It's the base for everything.  Once you know the base for everything, then will you start to know that everything is connected to that base.  Everything is one.  Do you understand what I am trying to say?  Everything you see in this world can be brought all the way back down to a base.  The assignment we did in Creative Writing is a great example of this.  The one where we wrote down all the things we saw.  If you ever said to yourself, "I see a bus, I see a desk, I see a pen, I see a person, I see a school..."  On and on and on the list goes.  Anything you see had to of come from somewhere right?  Well this is the base.  There is no such thing as a desk.  There is no such thing as a school.  There is no such thing as a pen.  All these things are simply things that human beings have labeled.  Everything has a label on it.  Think about it this way... If you took humans out of this life, what would there be?  Would time exist?  Or would everything just sit?  The human mind is the only thing that can tell time.  Without minds there would be no past and no future.  But that's all there ever is even with humans !! Can you tell me that you have ever been in the past or the future except for in your thoughts ?  No!  You are always in the present.  Your mind makes up the past and the future.  And our minds make up all these labels in life.  A desk is not a desk.  There is no such thing as a desk until we make it a desk.  All it really is is wood, plastic and metal.  Humans design labels to suit our needs.  We make desks so that we can sit, pens so we can write, schools so that we can.... lose creativity (just kidding).  So what about us ?  How can you read someone or something without seeing them as you see them.  How can you look at a desk and not see a desk?  It's simple.  All you have to do is know where you stand in space and time.  Know your purpose.  And know that is in front of you is there for a reason.  That's all.  There is no super reading powers.  No matter who you are, you have to see things how you see them until you know for a fact what is really there.  So when reading an actual person you must know them.  You have to know all that is behind them and all that they are.  So until you know that, which is impossible to know fully, then you can't know fully.  All you have to know is that someday you will know.  And that right now, everything will be okay if you stick to your base.  So my answer is comfort.  Find comfort.  Because trying to know everything will bring you stress and depression.  Find a base and let it comfort you in the present.

  3. What if you go back to that base again and again? And you believe it's the right base, but it hasn't confirmed it to you? How do you know? Love the post by the way.

  4. If you sincerely believe this base is the right base for you then honor it. Respect it. Have trust in it. If it doesn't show anything in return then maybe it isn't the right base for you. Email me if you have anything else to ask... biggumchokee@gmail.com

  5. I like this. But in some sense one doesn't have to learn to read. If you don't know how to read sometimes it takes time to just enjoy it. When I was younger I hated reading. Now I love it. "If you don't read you do not have to tool or time to write."

  7. "The most important thing is living life at your own pace."

    Stop and smell the roses, walk slow and stoop down.
    I totally agree with this.

    Write a book.
    I'd read it.
