I get my best ideas at night... something about the depth of the dark sky lit with scattered sprinkles of light kind of remind me of the way ideas exist in my mind. Ideas that seem endless one moment and blurred the next, like an overcast of clouds strewn through a night sky.
As much as I love the warmth of a bright blue sky and beaming sunlight, I've just always felt a deeper connection to the night, maybe it's because I feel I can always look right into the "eyes of the moon" like an old friend. (I admit i ignorantly stared into the sun a few times, challenging it to "say" something to me, but ultimately always gave up after a few seconds of dumb bravery and wiped tears from my eyes).
I was born at 6:42 pm... according to numerology that = 3, (6+4+2=12 = 1+2=3) and I've always wanted to learn more about the study of numbers and astrology. Not to be confused with "horoscopes" as a stranger stated to me, just the other evening... "because there IS a huge difference" I said. "Many biblical stories and information have been derived from the study of constellations and the stars, ya know." I believe and accept with every fiber of my being that we are all just kindred stars in the deep space that may seem vast and vacant in part, but is actually thick with infinite connection points. Even when we are not "touching" we are still effecting one another... reminds me of my favorite line in the matrix, when the sexy french woman says "cause and effect my love."
To think that we sometimes feel so alone- whether due to lack of understanding of oneself and others, or simply by choosing to rationalize some cold, stoic, purely analytical idea that somehow we must just be insignificant, unrelated, haphazard fragments of existence... is just so heart breaking to me. I feel that quite simply, whether we evolved from some magical brew served up by an (or multiple) all "knowing" master creators, or we all just exploded from some random event... the result is still a w e s o m e! Here we are, conscious, alert, sensing, curious, weird, delirious, wild, unpredictable, flawwed, physically able creatures with nothing but potential, and yet here we stand more interested in being divided than being united... or maybe just too scared or lazy to care?

Of course I speak directly from my heart and ideas of life as I've seen, touched and tasted them for myself thus far... Forgive any statements of mine that may come off as idealist or non-politically-correct... I'm not here to debate, rather to create!
What better way to manifest my own potential and spark some reaction from my fellow man than to dive right into the unknown by dissecting the known?
Isn't an idea just like the intangible expression of what human kind is capable of? (i.e. isn't a breeze like oxygen?)
When a new born baby is planned into existence, that infant will most likely be trained and nutured to be the best possible version of themselves in adulthood... So wouldn't it be fair to say that it's a great, rational IDEA to look at our own lives and EVALUATE, NURTURE and TRAIN overselves for new chapters in life, with the same attention to detail and care that we would give an actual baby?
Whether you believe we are all connected or not, isn't it a great idea to believe in something and to create? Since the beginning of time, man has turned ideas into creation, teams form and products made. Every aspect of Society is now streaming live from the very palms of our hands!
Information and action are compounding on one another and now I feel all we can do is continue to branch off of these prexisting ideas (essentially piggybacking on them) but more importantly I wish we would take the time to pause,
Take a breath.
STOP what you're doing!
Reflect on this moment. . .
Realize that you dont have to be a slave to any situation. Right now you are in control. "RIGHT NOW" is the only CONSTANT we can be aware of.
The hard part is honing the mind power that's needed to navigate the waters that we are all treading in now... To take a beat and acknowledge that if many around you are drowing, shouldn't you take responsibility for aiding in rescue? It doesn't take much energy to help someone in some small way, if you've got your attennae on to the World and off of your own selfish existence.
If a fire suddenly broke out in some random city, a thousand people all run towards one exit, clawing and fighting there way to safety, and noone thinks to put out the fire, what happens?
Is it smarter to try and survive by being selfish, or is working together to solve a problem just not worth the risk involved?
Is our problem that we are somehow subconciously drawn to compete, or have we just allowed ourselves to actually ignore our own conscience altogether?
I must interject again and state, I in no way, shape or form am endorsing myself as an 'ideal' person... I've simply learned that there is lot of joy to be found in doing selfless work, sharing information and knowledge when a situation calls for it and I just want to inspire a JOLT in your thought process... I want you to analyze your own actions and be honest about who you are as a member of society vs. who you could be.
They say character is what a man does when nobody is watching... I say- just because a man doesnt think hes being watched, or doesnt care... doesnt mean his words, thoughts or actions don't effect us all- because they absolutely do.
If you want to be proud of who you are, be a giver! Contribute your skills, share what you know, create something! Do something kind or generous just because you can. Pounding on your chest while you're screaming from the top of your lungs and standing atop a mountain of "lesser" men doesnt make you the best around or better than anyone, it just makes you a big bully. Dont be fooled by what you've seen and live outside the "norm" of what "everyone else" is doing.
If you think you're great, remove all of the people and tools you use that help make your life what it is and act as if you had to start from the drawing board. If you had nothing but the clothes on your back, the breath in your lungs, the beat of your heart and the will to succeed, what would you do to make your life great? I think when we answer that question honestly, it will reveal a lot about what kind of person we really are. So when you figure that out, is that the person you want to be or not?
Never be afraid of anything and follow your instincts. I believe that the power of the mind, body and spirit when well-balanced, can make miracles happen. And hey, even if you don't, whats the harm in it? :)
Love Always,
Kola
