Once again I give you snippets I had intended for inclusion
in one of my novels that ended up never finding a home. I think the words are
worth reading, they just didn’t go with the décor, so to speak:
Much of our intelligence lies outside of ourselves. Much of
what guides us is external wisdom. We intuit it, become attuned to it. We allow
it, unconsciously, to guide us. Were we conscious of it, we would reject it as
irrational.
To be a part of the whole is to be yourself. Any compromise
is to fit into something that is less than the whole.
By the time you’ve heard of a new scientific theory it has
probably already had practical applications developed by the military and the propaganda
machine.
There are scientific principles that dictate the rise and
fall of paradigms, tipping points that overcome civilizations.
The moment of the leap, between the trenches in which we do most of
our living, is the epitome of freedom and fear, the edge of insanity.
God created millions of stars to awe us, but we watch big
screen TVs instead.
We must deny the opinions of the past or we could not stand
what we have become.
The pain of existence is the pain of a piece of a puzzle
that doesn’t know where it fits.
The group mind pushes on regardless of the individuals that
compose it.
They take the genius of the mind and use it to sell toilette
paper, just as they take rhino horns to sell as aphrodisiacs.
At the root of it all is small little men who want to be
bigger. So they play with powers beyond their understanding as if they were
mere toys.
“A few individuals can swing a herd.”
“Do we have the right to do that?”
“It is already being done, and not by people who have the
herd’s best interests in mind.”
Even as they witnessed this the view began to fade. The
knowledge faded from her consciousness, but she knew it still resided in the
shared subconscious of humanity.
People seek to amuse themselves with distractions their
whole life, spinning wheels so they never have to venture beyond the box they
were born in, never have to be more than an animal.
For a thinker, discovering a new paradigm is like a miner
discovering a vein.
The only energy is life, and the misdirection of it is the
only power evil has.
We are defined by fear. Fear limits us, gives us boundaries.
The less we are limited by fear, the greater we become, the less we are
defined. The ALL is limitless.
Where is God when there is no mystery left?
People have sought to cover over the things they cannot
understand, in the same manner that they buried the wilderness under concrete,
sought to explain away their primal fears.
Lastly, here are some attempts at song lyrics from The
Amazing Morse. I originally was intending to use the lyrics from George
Harrison’s Beware of Darkness, but when I decided to self-publish rather than
look for a publisher, I didn’t want to deal with copyright issues. For a time I
did a mad scramble, trying to get the permission for lyrics from several
different less well-known groups and while I waited I attempted to make some up
on my own. I was fortunate enough to get the permission of Neil Morse and
Radiant Records to use the lyrics of Duel With The Devil from Transatlantic, so
I didn’t have to work with any of these.
In the dark I see
Lies my destiny
In a cage lies my freedom.
I’d welcome the darkness
To obscure the truth
Of adulthood’s vision
Eclipsing youth.
Even the darkness is better
Than what it hides.
Even a prison is better
Than what’s outside.
But there’s no protection
From within.
Once again, thank you Neil Morse for not making me have to
go with any of those.
