Dreaming Madness

"Which is the most universal human characteristic, fear or laziness?"

In all honesty I could not say, what is more true, that we are afraid of never accomplishing our dreams, or that we are simply too lazy to put them into motion, to see them, to live them?
Are we all capable of doing great things, are we all capable of making our personal insanities reality? I think yes, but whether our failure is due to a lack of courage or a lack of will I could not say, I may perhaps never know. Many shirk these possibilities due to simple terror of the tasks before them, the immensity of their imagination.

Dreams are a thing of infinity, something that not many are prepared to grasp, to cope with and confront; fear blocks us, paralyzes us and leaves us close minded and material, incapable of diving further into the maze of making our hallucinations a reality and tied to our boundaries. So many of us fail to accept the limitless, so many of us simply choose to float and see where we might end up, we find ourselves constantly stuck at an idea of what cannot be done, why it cannot be done, instead of just going beyond and finding something new and strange.

Yet sloth is another great sin of man and it is all the more natural, for we can overcome fear, yet we seem to have more of a difficulty overcoming our own laziness. The simple lack of will can break us worse than fearing something, and I find that far more succumb to laziness, including myself. Us common mortals differ so greatly from the great thinkers of the past in the fact that they could spur themselve to go further, to dive deeper than the rest of us, to actually bring their thoughts into reality, to awaken themselves and confront what must be confronted.

I cannot pass a verdict on which of these characteristics are more universal, but I can say that each hampers us, yet each of them should not be difficult to overcome. It merely requires us to dream with our full conscieousness , and not fall into doubt or lethargy.


"Sanity is madness put to good uses; waking life is a dream controlled."

Madness, the one force capable of breaking through the lines, of smashing barriers of all kinds, of being new, of creating continuosly. Madness flowing through a mind and into reality is a true force of creation, of novelty. Madness put to good uses is pure creativity, it is the new and the incredible. Our lives are true once we can use it, once our dreams have become truly ours, and we make them real.

This I think is crucial, and is a point that can be misunderstood and misinterpreted. To truly awaken yourself you must live under the concept that all you do is a dream, so that all that can be imagined can become possible, and all failure becomes inconsequential. To be alive this is the way, to live reality under the assumption that nothing is beyond grasping, all you need do is imagine.

To use your madness is key, something necessary to overcome that which holds us to rules that often are unreal and unecessary, inexistent and easily overcome. All that is necessary is a bit of channeled insanity to create something of novelty. For true sanity is the gaining of the conscieousness necessary to know that nothing is beyond us, that we can become better and we can create, if only we shake off our lethargy and open ourselves to the concepts our world throws upon us.

The only true insanity is doubting that we can change reality, that we hold a very significant place in our own lives, and to live otherwise is true foolishness.
