We all look to someone for guidance. Their existence can be far and faded: an icon. Somehow we see ourselves within these expressions of our humankind. The comfort this relation delivers, ensures our faith in these Icons. We grasp their inspiration; press on, torch in hand.
Listening to my infusive icon’s ideation… I skim over the power of his words, and realize the potency of his presence.
Reality bears irony. We live in a world of fear and constant turbulence– for the success of our species. What our prosperous beings will amount to, is up for perpetual debate.
“The real secret of magic is that The World is Made of Words, and that if you know the words that the world is made of you can make of it whatever you wish.” –Terence McKenna
A quote coming from my personal Bible: “Words of the Wise”. A collection spanning multiple beliefs and principals. From the dark depths of insanity, to the angelic telling of ascension. All is included, for there is no denying the forces our world is made of. Everything is exactly as everyone sees it. Together we make prolific possibilities; the unimaginable.
To know such a quote; then turn to see a collapse in its foundation. That the very person who conducted that thought, was not always capable of upholding his words in action.
“… you want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world… Where is that at?” –Terence McKenna
Morbid much?! That portion of his speech has always taken my stomach for a churn. I bear the same wavelength. Afterall, we pick the idols we see resemblance in. Trick of it is, the resemblance can be just as bad, as appears good. It is simply all perspective.
“We can will the perfect future into being by becoming microcosms of the perfect future, and no longer casting blame outward on institutions or hierarchies of responsibility and control, but by realizing the opportunities here, the responsibilities here, and the two may never be congruent again, and the salvation of your immortal soul may depend on what you do with the opportunity.” –Terence McKenna
One needs to be a particularly conscious and noble being, to pick up the reins and steer the cattle. No matter with words, or straight out leadership. Your aim is to achieve the idea of a perfected future, realistically. To carry the world into a united forefront. Together we shall defy the odds, and conquer this challenge of life!
Or, we will gaze off into oblivion. In wonderment of what it is we are suppose to do with ourselves. ‘What are we, if we are not the pit of a rotting carcass?’ The shock value of the presented realization, can baffle a person beyond comprehension.
Now, how might that news weigh on its keeper?
You can know, or know how.
