Reflections
Lately I’ve found myself questioning my reality more and more… it sounds somewhat cryptic right, something that a theologian, philosopher or acid fiend would say (the three are not all that different in my experience). I’ve been experiencing lucid dreaming more and more lately – a lucid dream taking place during sleep but feels so real you can almost trick yourself into thinking that you’re awake – which I attribute to the fact that I have reached a point where I want to understand my sense of self.
It all started a number of weeks ago, when I was reading about chakras… at the time it was merely a joke; it however triggered a thought that perhaps there is some sort of truth to this “science.” Could it be that we in fact project a sense of self that is intangible, displaced from our physical being. We talk a lot about “vibes” referring to some sort of psychic phenomena where a feeling is generated by an objects existence (person, space, art anything) which we receive unconsciously. Artists deal a greatly in “vibes” I think, creating emotion through something that is inanimate, a sense of poetry of soul as Bachelard would describe derived from the shaping and treatment of a particular medium or material.
I wondered then, what vibe do I give out? I can’t simply go out and ask people… as the theory of relativity would state that while I may be seen doing the same thing by two different people they would interpret my actions in a different way thus feeling a different vibe. How then would I be able to find my vibe? I began to research Auras.
An Aura is essentially an energy field that surrounds living things and its colour a reflection of the unconscious state of being of that particular object. Thus if a vibe is an unconscious feeling we receive then the answers would lie in the understanding of what is unconsciously projected, reflecting in our aura.
As I write this particular entry, I’m thinking that perhaps this blog can become a diary of my investigations into understanding self. At this early stage, it would seem that there are some key points that require a great deal of exploration – that is auras, psychic energy, astral planes of existence, meditation, perception and reality. A reflection is but an echo… but how is the sound made…
To the non-heavy stuff… I’ve been busily trying to get myself ready for my trip to Italy. There is a hell of a lot of stuff I still need to do. I’ve got the important stuff though; heavy jacket, good shoes, thermals, beanie and gloves. Learning Italian isn’t really so hard, it’s a pretty logical language…you just have to understand the logic first I suppose… :)
