Reactionaries: Part One of Many

Computers force us to make unconscious relationships with the symbols, e.g. “space bar” and "backspace". Like words, we take the meaning of these ‘functions’ for granted, we just use them but don’t really understand their origin and connection to our brains, selves, mind, whatever it is that we are. The computer has become an extension of the human, just as our brains, fingers, arms, and legs are automatically driven by the central nervous system, the computer is becoming all of automatic, autocratic and autonomic. We move incredibly fast. Just as a hummingbirds wings flap. As a cheetah sprints. Just as the sun shines and the moon reflects. Natural reaction. Reflex. Impulse. These should be tools, but they have become dominantly active. Too much activity burns things out. Heat moves faster than does a temperature cooler than it, it has more active molecules. It is best to just to stop the world, meaning slow down, meaning relaxing instead of reflexing, meaning chill.
From this point, a completely new and freshly stable movement will occur, leading to an infinity of possibilities. This point has been referred to by sages, poets, professors, ballers, rappers, and gypsies alike. It is the peace of a Ghandi or a Mother Theresa.
It is the happy place of Happy Gilmore. It is the Heaven of bible lore. The ring of Lord of the Rings. The Utopian center of creation, as relating to Plato. And it is accessable to all. By smoking weed, we get closer to that point. Bone Thugz and Twista have figured this out, that’s why they rap so fast. Drugs relax your inhibitions, your stress. Stress is just tightness. When you are constricted, you can’t flow. If you can’t flow, your life force energy is cut off, and eventually you die. This is not a promotion of unintelligent drug use, and many types of meditations will help you achieve not only similar but further reaching levels of mental depth.
