Scylla and Charybdis

Two pillars- one invited, and the other unbidden. Even the most exquisite form is adumbrated by the light it conceals. Do we take hold because we are afraid? Or, are we afraid because we take hold? Both are true, but only one is real. Sign in to see full entry.

The Untenable

Imagine a need, and create a defense; create a defense, and devise a reason to injure; Does that which is causeless need a defense, or does its defense strip its defender of his own cause? Injure another, and bleed. Attack another, and reap the expectation of being attacked. Criticize another and... Sign in to see full entry.

Salubrity

The most sane man has tasted madness, which calls to him in the quiet of his reflections; Can the doubt that renders certainty to question keep itself uncertain? Perhaps, it is the justification that decides which prevails. Sign in to see full entry.

The Twelfth of Never

Never cannot be without always by its side; two are needed to define one. Yet, how can that which exists without definition define itself? Linger not on the definition, or it will define you. Rather, by cancelling out what cannot be, what is reveals itself. Is its name a cause for battle, or for... Sign in to see full entry.

A Human Being

Becoming is natural process: it is the inexorable flow of the river to the ocean. When the mind uses becoming to accelerate its growth, the conflict of what is against what should be is introduced; What an unnatural state of being, this state of becoming other than who I am being! Can I become other... Sign in to see full entry.

The Gathering Storm

Alas, in the middle distance it gathers: a roiling mass of gravid cloud, a torrent of wind, and a cacophany of light and sound. Is its nature defined by its intention, or its effects? Tranquility is a grateful acknowledgment of its predecessor. Let the storms of life unfold. Allow them to teach. Be... Sign in to see full entry.

One Mind

There is only One mind, which appears to be divided into innumerable individual minds; A single individual, believing himself to be independent of others, will invariably take and deprive himself of independence; What is given to existence is what manifests as experience. The path is no different... Sign in to see full entry.

Whist

What can a search provide that does not already exist? Moreover, can it exist when it is exchanged for being sought out? All discontent arises from rejection of what is. The controller becomes the controlled, because he has sought his identity through death disguised as life; In this vein,... Sign in to see full entry.

Unbeknownst

Unforeseen, yet unmistaken; unbeknownst, yet unforgotten. Have I arrived, merely to return? What have I learned, other than that I already know? Who are all these seeming strangers, if not my teachers? They teach me of myself. From the void I have come, and thence I shall go. My anonymity precedes... Sign in to see full entry.

Lest We See

Once hidden, a measure of safety is created amidst the turmoil, which convinces us not to look too closely; Being satisfied with little is better than despondency, or so we reason; Is nothing equal to being less? Or, have all divisions ended in such a limitless state? Be not satisfied with... Sign in to see full entry.
