To crave for intimacy is to want to consciously reduce your options. There are some of you who are dissatisfied with the array of options out there vying for your attention. Options require choice. Choice demands a firm belief in game-play, in the fact that even if your choice is nullified by meta-dynamics eventually, it does matter, If only as a ritualistic act. Because rituals are like triggers in a game. Rituals are the buttons, the levers. If they are not performed the gameplay or rather you
Taxis ferry bodies from point A to B. on every transport, there is something left behind. The taxi drivers survive on the arbitrary resale of the stray items left behind.
We are not talking about suitcases or handbags or laptops. We are talking about thinking bodies. We are talking about stories which are dreamt and then forgotten on the back seats of random taxis plying on city streets.
Conversations are struck and then left hanging, left incomplete. These conversations develop deep, dark h
Stigma acts as an identifier for people for knowing things that they should not know. And where is the boundary, where is the line that demarcates knowledge in these terms? That line will never be found because it has not been drawn. Drawing is a wilful act that needs to be done with utmost attention to detail. All humans were created only to be able to draw a certain number of lines and after that their minds and their ability to think straight jumbles up, gets warped and forever only thinks in
Devotion is the ability to selectively withhold the processing of some information by the mind. Devotion is the ability to know when to think and know when not to think. Because thought produces a world of a certain nature and it does not have everything. We often have to live in this world, that thought creates, and then to survive we need qualities that thought does not recognise and thought dismisses. Devotion is one such quality of experience.
But devotion has a different history. It emerg
Once there was an effective way to filter experience. It was very simple. All you had to do was neglect things happening around you. Neglect everything fearlessly. And then the things that still required your attention called out again. It worked very well. I will repeat again: neglect everything, and the when you hear a call, you answer.
Neglecting things fearlessly meant that even if things fell apart, even if things got so troublesome that they started falling apart, your neglect would stil
Disharmony is a promise that has the potential to keep us insane. But the promise has not been kept. Life constantly deludes us by letting us skim through harmonious times. Life keeps our experience mixed, we sometimes feel that we are having a very smooth experience and other times we feel that we are having a very rough and harsh experience. We are not able build our expectations in terms of what is coming next and we cannot train ourselves. We remain muddled and confused.
Now if disharmony
There is the poetic notion of mystery as the haze that blurs the outlines and dulls perception. Even if you look at the world with frosted glass, when you fall, it hurts just as bad. So we have to replace that model of mystery with another. One that doesn't talk of obscurity in blindingly dazzling terms. An experience of mystery that talks about a lack of a desire to know as something that seeds mystery. Because the world here and it's attributes and your mind and its desires work in a circular
To have something to take, you need to give it first. The act of sacrifice decides what you get back because it decides what you give up. Sacrifice means giving up a core part of what you need to survive so that a part of you remains incomplete and you have bandwidth to deal with more problems. Giving up on these essential parts of yourself is not easy as it first requires you to run an assessment on yourself at multiple levels. This assessment determines: which are the unique parts that you con
Bondage is a fashion, some like to be free and some like to be bound. It is not an absolute state which cannot be played with. Bondage is desired, demanded and solicited. Often you can be in chains and have the key in your hand and still you remain bound.
Bondage is enjoyable because of many threats that it saves you from. It becomes an excuse to restrain the body from wandering. Bondage becomes the localising act, the ritual that prevents spirits from getting dissipated.
But bondage is also
