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
