Spirit

It's early morning and my writing spirit is back alive. My sleep was disrupted by vivid dreams that I wish to fulfill. The visions I've had buried deeply are starting to uncover themselves again.

There is an actualization process that must take place for these dreams to come alive. These thoughts must be written down, spoken into existence, and willed into reality. If I can see something clearly enough in my head, I will soon pull it out from my spirit into the physical world.

It is true that the unexamined life is not worth living, but don't allow examination to take control. The overintellectualized life is not worth living either, and often becomes an underactualized one. You must come to know your individual spirit intimately.

Understand that the spirit I'm referring to is not some ambiguous, metaphysical energy. It is simply the source of your vision, an image generator. The more clear the lines of communication to this source are, the better you will be able to paint the picture.

You don't develop these pathways through more thought, you locate them through subtraction. Cut out the noise. Once you have located your spirit's presence you must nurture it's essence. What image is it trying to reveal? You must answer this for yourself.

Once you see it clearly, you must will it into existence. The will to power is inseparable from this notion. Who doesn't want to influence others to see their views? A weak person. There is no room for uncertainty, only vividness. It is not enough to fabricate your own little place in reality, you must bend the fabric of reality itself. This requires immense power. You can't have imperial power if you allow your spirit to be corrupted by others, or perverted from within. Ruthlessly hedge against temptation. Convert every thought and feeling into embodied "spiritual" power. This sounds questionable. That's because the connotation of the word spirit has been corrupted by the meek practice of spirituality. It's possible that a divine framework can be more relevantly applied. What is certain is that this power source is gigantic.

As stated, it's better to avoid intellectualizing the spirit, but I will contradict myself for the sake of clear explanation. Understand that the unconscious brain is like a super computer compared to the feeble forebrain. Our instinctive, animal brain dictates our life. The unconscious brain (spirit) is like a violently flowing river that we try to navigate on an intellectual raft. Understand that there are orders of magnitude present in this imbalance. True mastery of the conscious mind, is not found upstream. You just need enough savvy to paddle with the current.

“But not all men seek rest and peace; some are born with the spirit of the storm in their blood” Robert E Howard

If you want something, picture it clearly in your mind and will it into existence.
