Guava Tree

I am not mentally challenged, I am just not up to level of expectancy; I am not delusional nor crazy, I am just well above what is considered knowledge.  There is no such thing as crazy, says he, hanging upside down from a guava tree —while acknowledging the ineffectiveness of insinuations that were once implied upon him.  He furthered looking upward towards the infinite sky admiring the distinctiveness of every cloud and the variations of colors of a rainbow that stood beyond the horizon.  Than just like searching for frequency on an old fashion knob radio and finally getting a second of good transmission —intelligence briefly strikes his mind.  And he came to realize that just like the clouds hold their distinctive appearance so does every being that resides in this electromagnetic field we call a world.  Everyone is different he concluded —in his mind, and due to place and time everyone holds a different orientation which delivers a certain crucial point of view of how individually one sees the world.  Every mind is a different world —he says, and as worlds collide amongst each other interference of viewpoints takes place and contention arises —enabling emotions.  Emotions are the action of thoughts; thoughts arise from a dimension within; the causality of thoughts is creativity, creativity is the essence of living—enthusiasm (ancient Greek word EN THEOS meaning God like laughter), creator is made to create,“I think therefore I am’’ an existing entity —not to think would be non-existence, non-existence is something that does not exist, thinking enables good and evil, judgment is to think, to judge is to contrast.  Virtue and vice are both descendants of “know thyself”, and if one complies with such, puzzled amazement will up strike from self discovery. Pure love is what I am —he says, and therefore what I should teach.  Knowing that a wise man does not focus on the temporary; rather what is timeless, he furthered his acknowledgments: one strengthens thoughts by sharing them and by living and experiencing learning takes place, one true self utter no words from what is certain, preventing experience decreases ability to function, individuality does not exist; we are all part of the same mind cloud, it is all the same story just different interpretations, and we are all competent artists just trying to  illustrate the absolute —love, for what is yet to come.

Misleading Disguises’

As illusions become reality individual perception transcend to misleading disguises.  Society’s infrastructure not only raises an eyebrow but also delivers somewhat of an interrogation mark on existence.  The illusion that has been portrayed into reality and thus far has been perceived as such could be deceiving; domestication, economy, media, and other influential encouragement’s sculpture individuals intervening with the within natural certainty.  As we move forth our calendar years coercing present way of life individuals are forced to rearrange default, unconsciously change perception and results as an environmental product seeking identity among society’s labels.  In disparity aiming for a particular social status or what’s interpreted a decent way of life one’s ethicality becomes alienated.  True purpose, individuality, primeval meaning expounding out of the body’s core linked to universal intelligences reason why time in space takes place is—forever forgotten, as self alienation remains activated in some cases for the rest of one’s life’s span.  The name of this theme could be “Robotics Consciousness”, as we move onwards with limited capabilities executing precisely programmers design.  Who’s engineering, and what’s the designs purpose?  We could say; is up to individual interpretation, as this intergalactic spaceship turns left into the universe without acknowledging if the conductor is even awake yet.  Possibility of destination maybe an unknown place where; all fumes in the air make it thick and it becomes not only difficult to breathe but yet to live, chronic routines become well welded in our being change becomes nothing but a myth, likelihood of self-destruction increase while resources decrease and due to programmers limitations life gets harder to even try to exist.  In a world of electronically wired machines where there’s no acknowledgement of understanding the world, all are consciously competitively participating in what already has been established.   Through the illusion that somehow at full throttle blasted through the threshold exceeding into reality as a misleading disguise.  A disguise’ that furthers into a progression of ethical misalignment, falsehood, living imprisonment, emotionally self condemning—as true within our chest cavity beats rapidly looking for escape.  Regardless if escape is ever found as evolution of time continues there shouldn’t be flaw, not one second of hindrance as every occurrence every moment appropriately placed in time is nothing more than a checkpoint on this grand arrangement.  Those who choose enlightenment will be the conscious air within the open sea, forte winds distributing throughout barricade mist, reason for incidence.

Superficial Nonsense

Once the things that were so important aren’t, what else to seek, what else to do, as the natural progression of life slaps your face

Yes, it is me lying in my dying bed thinking “I’m not functional anymore”.  My beautiful tight youthful looking skin does not carry such complexion and those days of wearing small seductive clothing hanging out by the bar are long gone.  All I could bear to withhold are those great memories: traveling discovering new adventures, dancing the night away with good people great friends.  As a transistor in this printed circuit board, I went with the current, complied with what was expected, throughout this entire span I tried my best not to take anything for granted, remained loving unconditionally.  With exceptions of course there was this time I was inappropriately placed in labyrinth without a travel guide or a map.  I grew mad with desperation trying to find my way out.  There was I, as days became weeks and weeks became month furthering into years and decades.  The pollutions in the airs consciousness was absorbed through my pores and changed my whole perception.  I started becoming part of the illusion that someway somehow transcends to reality; even though at times it did not make much sense.  I contributed to the fact in order to be a part of the team.  Invested my purpose of existence, time in place, and even my ethics; those were great times.  I remember coming close to paying off the thirty-five year mortgage and even all those time I had to refinance, the time I was incarcerated in a loophole from home to work and from work to home.  Don’t get me wrong I did have time to myself, after work I’ll go home eat a little something work a little extra and sleep seven sometimes 8 hours.  In the weekends the fun begins that’s when I apply my small provocative seductive dress accompanied with my two point five-inch heels and stand by the bar acting cool with others that share the same concept.  Conversations consisted of: who has the newest handbag, newest shoes, who’s dating who, what profession does one hold, what private institution did one attend, biggest house, and newest car etcetera.  I could say I was entrapped in this labyrinth for eighty-four years, until now.  Ironically I feel more awakened than ever,  all this superficial nonsense doesn’t mean a thing; my body, my house, my land, my car, and all my material possessions stay here as I transcend to reality.

About Contention101

This site is to share some of my thoughts via stream of consciousness writing. Life can be like a spider web. We start off at the center, but often find ourselves straying to another part of the web. Through Contention 101 the goal is to place ourselves back in the center. With short written insights I share my thoughts,  many of which we all  have on our minds  day to day and choose not to share due to fear of other’s judgement. The main objective is to build strength to transcend the invisible line that does not exist.

Reason For Existence

Just as a beautiful flower resides in anticipation for someone to feed its purpose of existence, just as a newborn cannot prevail survival without a human touch and the elderly cannot survive without someone’s helping hands, the reason for existence is quite simple.

.  In between these two stages of life, there we are! Including the infant and the elderly characters, we’re all here to do our “Natural Job”: provide nourishment for others.  We are here to cherish and appreciate one another; here to nurse that infant giving a proper introduction and guidance through life; to be those admirable and deliberate helping hands assisting and glorifying that full-of-wisdom elderly.  We’re here to be that beautiful flower that dwells in this gorgeous world, awaiting discovery with anticipation and intent, to fill with its beautiful and delightful characteristics, the magnificent life of another.  Once the purpose of this ravishing flower has been met, it has no one else to please, nothing else to achieve.  It can just enjoy the wonderful satisfaction imbedded within that comes from accomplishing one’s purpose in life.

Many don’t fully acknowledge the presence of time until it’s a day later and life is nearly at its end.  Appreciate and respect your “Natural Job.”   Everything we do in life has to do with servicing others.  We don’t work to live, rather live to work.  Every action, every thought is considered work.  There’s nothing wrong with work; do it well—seek perfection in everything you do.  With that said: here’s thought –Let’s imagine we are walking and have some place we need to be.  We are stopped by someone who asks us to take a photo of them.  Now, we have two choices: we can take a photo quickly, return the camera to its owner, and continue on our way.  Or, we could execute our “Natural Job” and take a precise portrait, caring very dearly of the photograph’s outcome.  Life is all about others, so let’s live this work experience to its full extent, in every aspect of our daily life.

Throughout our lifespan just by trying to perform our “Natural Job” on a daily basis, we can make this a better world for generations to come.   Just like the flower I’ve mentioned above, everything in life must come to its end.   Once we’ve lived our whole entire life, cherishing and admiring everything it has to offer, what’s next?  When our age has reached a reasonable amount and all the complications of persisting life have arisen, then what should we do?

We can acknowledge death has been assigned to us beings; let us not sorrow, let us not weep, let us not bawl, and let us not dwell in misery.  Rather let the remaining contributing factors in life enjoy and share in prosperity the abundant life that thrived throughout one’s lifespan.  Let’s “Discuss” all the good we have performed in this world.  Also let us “discuss” the bad, with intention of grasping knowledge and understanding one’s actions.  Let life take its course; relax; enjoy as days and weeks become months. Soon there should be no worries to dwell upon. It’s okay.

Overcome Negative Mind

How to overcome a negative frame of mind:

In reality, throughout our daily busy schedule we don’t take the time to fully digest everything that’s taking place in our surrounding circle. Not fully understanding that one’s actions, whether good, bad, flamboyant, prosperous, engaging, or intelligent, might lead to another’s sadness or bitter feeling.  This then encourages the creation of different thoughts that dwell within, such as stress levels, combativeness, and pessimism etc.  (Now regarding the last few sentences, I’d like to take full advantage of the opportunity and assume that I have obtained attention). With that said I’m going to become an artist and start my initiation on the canvas performing a beautiful piece of art. Canvas = your Mind, Artist= myself “the author of this blog”. In other words I’m going to draw a picture in your mind (using words) enabling understanding.

Here we are driving on interstate 95, whether south or north completely up to you.  Let’s assume it’s a normal day and there are other vehicles on the road. Now another vehicle performs an action we call “He/she cut me off”. Description of this “he/or she cut me off action” basically is when another vehicle besides your own obtains a higher mileage per hour to perform the task of overlapping the speed of another vehicle in order to grab control of a lane. When such action is performed many become infuriated.  Thoughts may be: this guy just “cut me off”! He is really driving me insane!—as if he had planned this for two years; is there some strong conspiracy behind this?—maybe the Taliban is involved?  I must not let this person prevail with his intention; therefore, I should do the following: act like an infuriated person, honking horn, waving middle finger, speeding up in order to pass our contender. As we pass our adversary we demand eye contact, once eye contact is initiated we follow with motion of head from east to west giving away the silent “NO, what are you doing,” gesture.

Instead of acting in such manner, why not think positively? In reality we don’t know what could be the reasons for such action. (If the contributing factors of speeding are involved, let Law enforcement take care of it.) Why not think, maybe this person is heading to pickup his/her daughter at day care—and running a little late?  Why not think, maybe there’s a bomb that has to be deactivated in order to save humankind—and this is the person that can deactivate it?  Why think negatively?

With that said, I have developed a simple exercise that I have been utilizing myself.  Basically, when a difficult situation occurs, draw an imaginary line dividing your brain into two parts.  Think of one side of your brain as the positive side and the other side as the negative.  Between positive and negative, positive refers to a positive way of thinking and negative is a negative way of thinking.  Many of us, when we encounter a situation such as the one above, come to think with our negative side, instead of thinking positively.   The reason for this exercise is to try to react with our positive side during stressful experiences.  By using this exercise, you will encourage yourself to think more positively throughout your daily life. You will overcome your negative frame of mind.
