“Twice” doesn´t exist in real life

2012/05/02 5 Comments

Everything seems to be the same, and nothing is the same.

We can swim in the same river, but the river is never the same.

Everything is change and yet we are desperately trying to remain “the same” – through repetition, through eternally being faithful to name, definition, and expectation.

We know the names of things, but we hardly have a genuine relation to things or people around us. As Oscar Wild put it, we know the price of everything, but the value of nothing.

We are afraid of giving up name for the sake of the un-name. We are afraid of being fully alive, cause we loathe the unnamable, there is too much risk associated with “not-knowing”.

And so, we become some kind of petty cowards, embracing beautiful words, preferring the symbol to Living reality.

Alas, Reality has no price, only Hypocrisy costs us a lot.

About julienmatei
I feel un inner urge to express what I see, to communicate and share with others all these impressions. Often the things I see are there, not yet manifest, but waiting... to be observed, talked about, and embraced. These new insights need another approach, a more vivid curiosity... Due to fear and prejudice we prefere to see only "the offcial " truth - but THE OFFICIAL TRUTH IS DEAD - being dead, it has nothing to give... We can continue pretending Death is fascinating or...we can take the trouble to LIVE... THE NEW has no definition yet... Again, IT requires another "perception", the courage to apprehend everything differently, from a totally new angle, with new confidence and inquisitive touch. This blogg is not about interesting concepts, it is about participation...finding new solutions, inspiration, togetherness..

  Thank you for your comment!
  
  Letting go of the conventional and all those centuries has been indeed a terrible struggle…
  
  It has taken me 30 years of unspeakable hardiships and sisyphean tribulation to have broken through.
  These are my first days of real Freedom
