About me:
logo3 We act in order to flee the void, to imply direction or purpose by the "act" of fleeing. At the cost of our innocence we acquire the consciousness of our estrangement from the objective world. The tragic nature of human existence, the fate a reflective soul experiences when it realizes that there is no meaning to its pain, is the profane birthright of our haunted self-awareness...Beyond the vanity of hope lies the comfort of disillusionment...Our most profound defiance is not directed outward to the political world of systems and hierarchies. It is, rather, directed at the terror of our own being. By giving our vision lucid form, we assert the power of the creative will over the self's ever degenerative, ever present, impulses towards oblivion and chaos...Hoping for nothing except the very remote we seek repose in the equivocal mystery of infinity. We are little better than clairvoyant puppets at times petulant... a cryptic convergence of anatomy and anxiety; shadows of a departed divinity in a theater of incidental gesture. .. Duration is without beginning or end. Space is limitless. Matter,in its elemental status, is eternal; and while subject to infinite changes may neither be created nor annihilated. Yet the soul of man is mortal. A man dies; the elements of his body survive and are transformed, his mind disappears, his unique soul perishes . . . The material evidence of life and time; the outmoded, the ephemeral, and the commonplace are gathered together and transformed by the recognition they generate, into symbols of the ambiguous nature of our being, a timeless narrative under the constant challenge of the inevitable.120407b You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM's MySpace Profile Editor! logo1

HAVE A RESTFUL AND GORGEOUS WEEKEND¡
What Is Life?

Resembles Life what once was held of Light,
Too ample in itself for human sight ?
An absolute Self--an element ungrounded--
All, that we see, all colours of all shade
By encroach of darkness made ?--
Is very life by consciousness unbounded ?
And all the thoughts, pains, joys of mortal breath,
A war-embrace of wrestling Life and Death ?
S.T Coleridge
