We determine our destinies with our thoughts, our desires, and our experiences. |
World of Ki - Introspection *********************************** Introspective Ki Contemplation The perpetual conversation that we all have with the universe. Some of us think of it as communication with some form of deity, while others consider it simply to be something akin to self-analysis while those that do not understand or are incapable perceive it to be talking to ourselves and they consider it somewhat eccentric or even indicative of a possible mental disorder. It can be a combination of all of these, and so much more. I find it to be the fundamental essence of philosophy, the driving force behind the search for truth, the reason that we ask ourselves, and others, so many questions throughout our lives as we strive to understand the world around us and those other individuals that we share our journey. As the journey is not about destinations, this exercise in futility at finding truth and knowledge is not about finding answers, but more a matter of learning how to formulate the search, and the ability to analyze and determine what we discover. The goal is to understand, and the only way to do this is to learn to actually ‘think’, whatever that may be. It is different for each of us, and determines who and what we are and what we may become in the future. It defines us not only to others but more significantly to ourselves as well. The goal is comprehension of both the intricacies as well as the simplicities of life. It is the distinction between a life of peace and harmony as opposed to confusion and frustration. Many understand that this is the purpose of our journeys while others simply do not have a clue. It is for each and every individual to make that decision for themselves. ******************************* Ki on Introspection *********************** it Note to self; Deal with it ~ ki ~ ********************* speak I speak with my mind this is what I have come to know I speak with my heart this is the way I have come to feel I speak with my soul this is who I have come to be this is who I am ~ ki ~ ************************** inferior The inferior man demands his rights and argues their existence the superior man demands only that he accept the responsibilities of the rights he deserves ~ ki ~ ************************* within You will find that which you seek not by searching in the world around you but in the world that you hold within the reason of mind the emotion of heart the integrity of soul ~ ki ~ ****************************** unique i am different it has never been otherwise i am the magic that no one understands not even me i do not follow i do not lead i question i attempt to understand there is much value in what i know and i know nothing in all the universe, there is no one like me i am unique as you are ~ ki ~ ******************* reflection the fiercest battle you will ever face in the war you wage against ignorance will be the individual you find in your own reflection ~ ki ~ *************************** darkness look for your darkness it will reveal your fears it will show the way to set you free ~ ki ~ *************************** am i am a follower of no leader i am a leader of no followers i stand alone and naked to the world excited, apprehensive, intense waiting for life to appear ~ ki ~ ********************* silence whatever you may wish to find it can be found in silence If you are willing to search for it if you are willing to listen for it ~ ki ~ *********************** become I have not become someone else I have become who I was meant to be ~ ki ~ *********************** attempt To think is to be human to be human is to attempt to attempt is to fail or succeed which brings knowledge knowledge brings questions questions demand thought to think is to be human ~ ki ~ ************************** agreement truth is agreement is irrelevant ~ ki ~ ********************** hubris the hubris of the man who believes that there is nothing he does not already know what he does not understand is that he knows nothing at all ~ ki ~ ***************************** tame philosophy comes from the need to tame the madness that pushes you to the edge ~ ki ~ ************************** fought the battle of ideas is fought everyday of our lives. some days it is fought with strangers. at other times with friends. but always with ourselves ~ Ki ~ ***************************** crazy crazy is as crazy does and whose reality shall decide? ~ ki ~ ******************** hide you can never lose yourself you can only hide from yourself When you feel lost look inward you will find yourself waiting always ~ ki ~ ****************** refusal the refusal to think to accept even the possibility of truth is the refusal to live and accept the slow death of ignorance ~ ki ~ **************************** power chaos exists without chaos resides within the only force that can tame it is the power of your mind, and your soul it has never been otherwise ~ ki ~ ********************** edge I have been to the edge of the abyss it has smiled at me and invited me in i have smiled back there will come a time ~ ki ~ *************************** To sample all of the available 'thoughts' of Ki you can find them here:
