learning the ways

This piece is about having an open mind and understanding the idea of construct and how your creative mind and general understanding is bound by your socilaisation and the rigid hierachies and norms of existing culture. This piece is about exploring the mystique and immersing yourself in other cultures with an open mind. Not to be bound by rigid logics, rationalisation and authourity as this surpresses creative thought. It's about stripping back your own constructs and learning alternative ways without been bound by the sceptic that you have nurtured. The piece is inspired by Castenada directly, and of Huxley's doors of perception and the shamanic representation is of something I may have once just dismissed completetly but if you approach all this with an open mind then you can become enriched and blessed by ideas. The message then is to try and embrace alternative belief systems, cultures and ideas without prejudice and cycnism and to realise that we have such a rigid and manafactured world view at times that we need to try and break from this restrictive rational in order to fulfill our potential.

 

 

 

Learning the ways of

of alternative sight

not bound by categories

of fallen science

& truth that lies wounded by construct

Opens the doors of perception and see

the beauty and oneness of systems and flow

Of majesty for natures own amusement

and wonder from the roots of the trees to the symphony of birds

revel in mystique and new possibilities

that defy the chains of prisoners held forever by wounded logic

Avoid the knots and paralysis of single vision

embrace your own conflicts, love your desires

and fear your own garden centre mind

for society is want and governance the wicked

so harbour your own necassary evils

clear your consience and free your own radical

embrace ideas submerged in tides of grandeur

consume with an open mind the bridges of another man

learn the forfold ways and dance in insight
