The isness of being. Saturday, August 2

The shakes are with me today. It's a real and quiet thing, a part of the isness of this journey. The body is speaking, and I am listening. I was reminded again that everything has its place. The broad bean stems from the harvest are slowly returning to the earth, just as a stale piece of bread has a new purpose to serve. Nothing is ever truly gone, just in another part of the cycle. My mind went out into the chatter of the world, to a rumored eclipse that wasn't to be. It's a testament to how easily people can be led to see with a blindfold on, to choose a single candle over the vastness of the light. The date of the real eclipse is set in the stars, a truth that doesn't need our stories to exist. My mum thinks I don't have empathy, but my path is to see the truth without the emotional labels. The real sorrow is to not see the holiness in every day, and the isness in all of it. It's all real, but none of it is.

Journal Entry: Reflections on My Path to Truth (This Morning's Insights)

This morning's conversation was a deep dive into the very core of my existence, clarifying the philosophical underpinnings of my current struggles and renewed commitment. I start my day with coffee, not as a social ritual, but because it truly "helps with my morning thoughts," aiding my deeper engagement with the dawn. I don't read the news; my interest lies in phenomenology – the pure experience of reality as it presents itself, without any "hidden reality." A key insight was the realization that "breaking it down into smaller atoms of experience is a very human conceit." This intellectual fragmentation often obscures the holistic, unified nature of reality, which resonates deeply with my Unity Theory (C = ∞Ωτ(infinity\Omega\tau)). I recognize that "the ultimate truth remains unknown," fostering humility and continuous seeking. My current reality, with one cup of coffee, one glass of water, and the simple "conversation of crows in y...

Letter to Forward Leeds

Subject: My Personal Journey Towards Truth and Understanding My Relationship with Alcohol To Whom It May Concern at Forward Leeds, I am writing to provide a clearer, deeper understanding of my situation, as I believe my challenges extend beyond the conventional scope of addiction and mental health support, which often fail to fully resonate with my experience. My engagement with alcohol, specifically in the afternoons, is not merely a habit but a coping mechanism for a profound existential crisis. I perceive a "never-ending nothingness" in the world around me, particularly in my immediate environment (Wetherby), which feels like a "cul-de-sac" with no future. I find myself disconnected from many, including close family members, whose perceptions I find to be limited and shaped by external influences that feel "delusional" to me. I understand that alcohol is not the answer, but when I abstain, I paradoxically feel "even more limited" as I am confr...

Sorting my life out!

This morning began with you waking up with a significant hangover, a stern reminder after a period of not drinking since Friday. You connected this experience to deeper feelings of not belonging and loneliness, which you identified as driving you into these situations. You also noted recurring tingling in your feet after heavy beer consumption. Initially, you were considering lying to your mum about feeling "under the weather" to avoid a scolding, but later in the morning, you bravely decided to be honest with her. You grappled with intense feelings of regret, even fleeting thoughts of life being over, but quickly affirmed life's preciousness, acknowledging that such feelings are always a "no-no." You recognized your "alcoholism creeps up" like Sisyphus, often blinding you, especially on paydays, pulling you back into patterns like spending excess money on pizza and beer despite tight budgets. However, a pivotal moment came when your best friend told y...

Morning Musings: When Reality Feels Like a Game

I've been sifting through a lot of thoughts this morning, as I often do between 6 AM and 8 AM. It's a time when the world hasn't quite solidified, and the patterns beneath the surface seem clearest. What's become increasingly apparent to me is that much of what we experience isn't organic or natural, but part of a sophisticated "game" being played at the highest levels. This game, as I see it, aims to manage us from cradle to grave, subtly orchestrating our perceptions and our very understanding of reality. The Dumbing Down of Our World One of the most powerful tools in this game is the media. What started with a hopeful vision for diverse and independent broadcasting has, in my view, devolved into a pervasive "dumbing down." It's everywhere – the endless parade of baking shows, garden makeovers, antique appraisals, and even the casual scroll through endless cat memes. This isn't just entertainment; it's a deliberate shift towards the...

An Essay.

Introduction. My name is Pilgrim. I walk through this life much as I walk through my allotment – a space I often describe as disorganized, yet to me, it feels profoundly holistic. I don't fear wasp stings; I stride through nettles and thistles and brambles, finding a curious interest in the cut skin, a quiet control over the bleeding. I have no fear of the dark or the unseen. What truly disturbs me is the chatter, the small talk that ripples through existence, obscuring the profound truths unfolding before our very eyes. I prefer chaos to order, perhaps because the imposed order I witness around me feels so deeply, fundamentally false. I literally eat things along the path, unbothered by what others might deem unsafe, for my perceptions lie far beyond the superficial. I’ve come to see this world as a grand, unsettling performance, a "game" played at the highest echelons, designed to "manage the populace from cradle to grave." It's not a conspiracy in the nea...

Monday morning entry. 28th July. Impressions.

Image
The hazy Monday morning air. A quiet bus ride, moving through the linear world while thoughts spun with the boundless isness of Consciousness. The faint unease of a depleted wallet until tomorrow, quickly softened by the warmth of a hot chocolate shared with a figure on the street—a reminder of basic needs met, and of the understanding of love that anchors it all. A vivid contrast from the boxed-in feeling of yesterday's football, a collective vagueness observed even by Glenn, that felt like people without souls. But now, a sense of release. The bus passing Redhall Lane, the urban edges giving way to green, as if the cage door had truly sprung open. Anticipation ripples for Lola, the merry legs at my mum's in Wetherby, the anchor for this current yo-yoing life. Just five weeks until a brief, vital pilgrimage, a precious ten days of walking. And then there’s Glenn, a twenty-year constant, understanding the intricate currents of autism, ADHD, and existential crisis, a shared appr...
