Escape Into Chris - Entry 12 |
| Posted: 07 Apr 2011 04:54 PM PDT  Sketch by Chris Al-Aswad January 2008 – Normal, IL We can learn by living in reality by dispelling illusions And illusions are desires forget desires - Just be – live in the moment of what you are doing Otherwise we cheat ourselves We trade in counterfeit We never understand truth We never understand goodness We ourselves are false We can only do one thing to get out of this cycle of birth and death And that is to discern what is true from what is untrue Real from what is unreal So for me, greatness cannot be attained by simply desiring it. Awash in the dreamy world of illusions and ideals that does not get you to the thing itself that does not get you to greatness that does not get you to love. Greatness must desire you Love must desire you Only by renouncing these illusions by refusing to perpetuate them By living, in reality. Reality has its own desires Reality has its own will its own push, its own momentum We have to be aware of the way things are before we can transcend them otherwise we will only have falseness to adorn ourselves with.
