I Void
"Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand"
The mind is a black void.
Empty of thought, undisturbed of any worries.
Uncertain at first, and then slowly the dance begins.
The pattern of thought are weaved by two partners that dance.
We are shaped by our thoughts,
We become what we think,
What we think we become.
The war rages on,
the struggle never ends.
Within those thoughts,
a seed of destiny grows,
returned as blessing or a curse.
Perpection will determine the bloom,
Shaped by the thoughts that dance.
Decisions are the thread to tapestry,
but if indecision is choice made,
some cannot regain the courage lost,
To eve make a decision that matters.
Choices of Free Will open paths.
Choices strengthens Will and effort.
If choice is no longer used,
Paths no longer "to be" in control.
If fear of choices becomes the pattern,
fate is no longer strengthened,
destiny now controls one's tapestry in life.
The seed of destiny that blooms
will be a curse, no longer in control fate.
A sade existence to no longer
Have the will to choose who they are
The mind moves in circles,
in intricate cycles that move
from one thought to next.
War rages on,
struggle never ends.
It is a dance of war,
paired with memories of past,
dreams of future,
and focus of the present.
Only present can effect the outcome,
of struggle between Passion and Reason.
Peace can only be found i
f one returns to the original cycle.
The mind is a black void.
Empty of thought, undisturbed of any worries.
Uncertain at first, and slowly the dance begins.
II Duality
"Just as we have two eyes and two feet, duality is part of life"
Thoughts needs duality.
Singularity of thought lead only to reinforced certainty.
Balance must be maintained between Passion and Reason.
Reason is naturally passive, resting assured of certainty.
Uncertainty is break in pattern, to allow doubt to know more.
"I don't know."
Once that is accepted with full measure,
Reason awakens from rest.
Reason thrives on challenges,
with the sole purpose of finding the knowing.
Passion is energy,
needing only direction,
with unbridled speed.
The two are opposites,
contrasted to reveal the truth of both.
One is never to dominate and become a singularity.
Both are needed, balance must be maintained.
Passion wants, it is desire in true form.
It can never be filled, no matter how much is filled.
It is an Eternity that constanly wants more.
Passion is hunger that craves everything
and keep reinforcing insatiable wants.
Only one thing can stop Passion,
Reason must be awakened with uncertainty.
Passion wants everything.
Reason needs nothing.
They work together by challenging each other,
as opposite as the moon and sun,
with separate eclipses.
They are the dance partners that can work together
or be overcome with Passions of the Mind.
Passion wants everything and will naturally dominate
if you allow indecision to be the pattern.
Desire, empty of Reason,
will only lead to needing more without end.
Determine with Reason,
Settle your Passion.
Take the first step in not knowing.
Passion will settle and allow Reason space,
To calm the desire that only lead to excess.
III Dance
"The only way to make sense out of change
is to plunge into it,
move with it, and join the dance"
Thoughts move in an endless cycle.
Dance of thought changes only
if new experienced are introduced.
Experience is the greatest teacher.
Writing is an experience.
Material thoughts reveals certainties,
but only if one is willing to be truthfully.
Courage is needed
to write how one really feel
and what one thinks.
The fear of someone reading will feel uncomfortable at first.
For some, they will not want to know the truth of themselves.
Truth is not for all, only those that seek it.
Keep writing until you read something that is true.
It may take time to shed all the different roles
and titles one holds, to get to one's true self.
Never quit to want to know who you are.
Courage will be revealed the more you are willing to see.
Overcome the fear of what you will find.
No matter what you find, accept the truth.
When you start writing for yourself,
and not for others, you write freely.
Notice the patterns without the embarassment of judgement.
Judge yourself truly when you write in solitude.
If there is a thought that constantly appears,
first accept it, don't fight it or ignore.
Control of what you think
should be done naturally.
Admit when you find something you don't want to think,
but never refuse to think it.
It will naturally be forgotten once you admit
that this thought is something that brings regret in reading.
Figure out why you think something,
and then it no longer has a hold over you.
Never deny yourself, no matter who you are.
Never ignore thought or chain it
by refusing to admit you think something.
The more you want to control how you want to think,
the more it adds stress and anxiety when you think it.
Forgetting is the most natural way.
Memorizing "I won't think this" is too direct a solution.
That thought will only grow.
That only keeps it away at an uncomfortable distance,
at the edge of your mind, where you hope it will be forgotten.
The truth that matters in life remain.
Some things can never be forgotten,
no matter how much you try to ignore it.
It is usually not a good idea to chain thoughts in place.
That means you fear it, and that fear will grow.
IV Success
"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm"
Success maintains.
It also hides growth if you don't challenge yourself.
There is always a risk of red pride with success,
To always think you are right because of your successes,
lead to blindness to your failures.
We all make mistakes and they are great opportunites to improve.
Don't double down and say you were right
when you know you made a mistake.
Admit that a mistake was made,
especialliy if it impacted another person.
I think too much emphasis is on success.
If that is all you have known,
The fear of mistakes become oversized.
The fear becomes maximum when there is no need.
Desperation of never making a mistake causes anxiety.
The power of success is like winning a game
Soon you protect your undefeated record,
that may not be a fair record.
There are many ways to pad that stat
If you are never caught
Keep your standards high for success
by always correcting when mistakes are made.
The two go hand in hand.
If not, then you will stay on the island of guaranteed success,
Which limits your from ever experiencing things that mistakes can be made.
II Mistakes
"If you're not making mistakes, then you're not doing anything."
Mistakes lead to a better path, but only if you decide to take the best path after.
Mistakes reveal, where success maintain, sometimes at whatever cost of hiding mistakes.
If one make a mistake, and ignore a better way, it becomes intentional if done twice.
The shame one feels if a mistake is made, will often turn to lies to protect admitting.
Mistakes have a tendency to grow if left uncorrected, and before you know it
It becomes a burden that must be carried, with no other reason but it was not addressed.
Often the mistakes, once corrected, will be notice in the futre and the same mistake is not made.
Improvement is made and your usccesses grow without having to make mistakes.
Everythign is connected and one mistake in one field
Is the same in another and you are no longer starting from scratch.
But only if the mistakes are addressed.
If not, it will be only hidden with successes that hide
To fear mistakes will only make the future mistakes grow.
I Certainty
"There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self."
The more certain you are, the more your Reason rests.
Reason will not move until it is asked.
Certainty holds pride that you know.
Having uncertainty is healthy to have.
Switch the connection to your certainty to Reason, instead of Passion.
Passion thinks it knows everything, it is passionate.
Combining Certainty to Passion will just make anything you are passionate about become more certain.
Makes you, um, I don't know, hard to talk to I guess.
No judgement, but if someone is certain, I just go onto the next topic.
How bout them Eagles...hope they have another run like last year...a safe topic to discuss,
Since the Eagles are going to dominate and kick the 1 Star team. I expect a win for those games.
Other than playoffs, represent. can't lose to those games.
I can never understand Philly fans that turncoat to that One Star Team.
I don't get it. Maybe they love the fandom pointed their way.
Ahh my cousin was one for a few years. Had the best time defending herself.
There was something to talk about I guess.
But One Star, come on...
They are note even an East Team...but I am going off track about the passionate certainty I just had.
Reason comes back and says.
They are still a One Star team until they bring their A game.
Don't even get me started on NFC Apple.
Thank You!!!!!
Anyway let's focus.
Passion is gas pedal and Reason are your brakes.
Swich your pattern when you want to be certain about something.
Put Passion into Effort.
Learning never exhausts the mind.
The more effort, the more you do, the more you learn, recycling unlimited energy of passion towards something.
Not at something, get my meaning.
Reason does not contradict, no reason to.
Its the best way to learn truth, through logic.
A is A.
That equation, in Fastest Rider on the Plains, is actually a philsophical equation.
The closest versions of your self should go into A,
and then expand in order the farther you go from yourself.
We all have different roles, and titles.
But A must be your true self.
Getting a little ahead of myself, but I wanted to at least have somewhere in these notes my thoughts on the Philosopher Stone Code
The only thing you can really know is yourself.
Build judgement on the only thing provable to be certain.
Self
Master self-certainty.
Who can know what is best for you but yourself?
You can rely on others, and ask for guidance and such, but never deny that you should be the subject matter expert on yourself.
Listen to yourself, you know yourself best, or should at least.
If not, no judgement.
We all walk different paths.
Everyday you have is a day that you can improve.
Improve by doing, not being certain that you are doing.
