- Reflecting Death
- ----------------
-
- I have often sat back and deeply reflected on the events leading up
- to my death. They are not demented, nor twisted, just a sick churning of
- mind. The girls I have loved and never knew it, the people I detest and
- never felt it. I sit alone in my section of a long "lost souls" hall, a
- purgatory if you will for creatures who did not attain that which was
- meant. Not that it is or was intentional, just a minor miscalculation in
- the gene pool or possibly a genetic engineering experiment gone afoul.
- This is the fate I was in a way destined to attain.
- Many years ago, while I was still a mortal I had a dream. A simple
- dream, not of any real depth, thought or even complexity. A simple dream
- of a certain understanding. The understanding of what is the true human
- creature. I never found the answer to this question so I must now pay. And
- pay dearly I do. My first life back in old England in 750 was fun at
- times, I had a certain fear of death as we all did then. This was overcome
- when I died of the plague. My next life I had the knowledge that death is
- not a thing to fear, it is one to embrace. When we die we become what one
- can only dream of. A power, a bright light. True beauty. No physical
- limitations, no mental blocks. All thought processes are clear and free. I
- live now in that sense. Enlightenment has been granted, a teacher
- provided. A teacher of such depth I am shocked that I would be granted
- such a thing. But it all begins a very long time ago, back in the 1980's.
- I was at one time what one could call a freak. A deviant, one capable
- of living in the night and loving it. A drive and enormous need to learn
- and teach to the best of my abilities. I did the usual party shit, drunk
- in excess and many other things I care not to discuss. Before that I was a
- typical idiot, serving only to pleasure myself, helping none. This gave me
- pleasure at the time but I was powerless to see the difference. I could
- not remember what had been taught to me in my previous lives. The true
- life, of love and knowledge.. But, getting back to the topic at hand. I
- was a general asshole, walking over people and not caring. I was in high
- school, a most traumatic place for anyone, moreso for anyone who got in my
- way. Me and some of my "friends" at the time decided one night to crash a
- party. We were told that it was being held by the weirdos of the school,
- they were geeks anyhow, so a little bit o fun might be had there. It was
- fun. First when we got there we started laughing at them, calling them
- names. I mean, all they wee doing was sitting around talking and thinking.
- What sort of party was this? Definantly not of any fun. I mean, where were
- the giggly girls and beer? I did however have an attraction to one of the
- girls there. She had eyes that bored right through me and could see the
- coward that hid inside of the seething mass of idiocy. She watched me in
- disgust at first, then pity. I did not understand any of this. I could not
- see the pleasure of thinking and dreaming for recreation. It seemed the
- only time you were supposed to dream was while asleep. This whole thing
- was strange, I could not understand it, It all bugged me in general. She
- looked at me while I was making some comment about someone having purple
- hair and said, "How sad you must be not to feel" This hit me hard, like a
- dirty cop's billy stick coming down on my head. Was she right? Did I not
- feel? Was my image not good enough to frighten away this creature I did
- not understand? Did she actually see through my mask of self hate? Was my
- cover blown? That is when I cracked and had a realization so big that it
- did scare me, so bad I still feel the effects of it today. The sudden
- nausea, the crimping of my guts. I left the room and threw up. Then I
- cried. I cried for my idiocy, my self avoidance. I realized that the true
- me was a thing that was much too hazardous to face. I could only dream
- about being myself. But wait! Dream. Is that what it was all about? Is
- that what this shit was all about? Hmmmm... I cleaned up, restored my
- image to the best that I could, grabbed the others and left. I said that I
- felt ill and had to go home. While the others waltzed off into the night I
- sat on the streets cur and started to think. What if I am all wrong? What
- am I doing? Has my lack of love and thought not maken me weaker instead of
- as I had allays thought making me stronger? After all, physical strength
- is everything, the mind could never be more powerful that a strong
- pectoral or biceps. I put my head in my hands and fell into a deep
- depression. The confusion that I had created by one persons simple line
- was more than I could take. Then a voice said from behind me, "Well, I
- guess you do." It was the girl from the party. She introduced herself as I
- did as well. I asked what sort of freaky shit was that was going on in
- the house. She replied, "Don't do that, I know you aren't that stupid" I
- had no idea what to think, was I that naked? I thought then and there that
- a change was in due form. I rephrased my question and asked again what was
- going on in the house. She simply smiled and invited me back in. I went in
- and sat on the floor with her and a few others. Some strange music I was
- informed later was Bauhaus. Fucking weird shit I thought. How can someone
- listen to this shit... I will take my AC-DC over them any time I thought.
- So, we started talking. We shared what we thought about various things. I
- was reluctant to speak at first, fearing my own inadequacies would show up
- and flaw me. I hesitated a possibility for one of the questions and
- instead of insult I was rewarded with admiration. To this day I cannot
- remember what it was that I said that was so important that night, but I
- found myself going to more and more of these get-together sort of things.
- The girl lived in a very old house of about 170 years. She invited me over
- one night and then I truly found what I wanted to quest for and still do
- search for. We stayed up until noon the following afternoon sitting in an
- overstuffed couch and just talking, drinking coffee and thinking. It was
- exquisite. A night that I thought was a dream and would never happen
- again. She played me a band known as "The Clash" I had heard of them in
- terms of "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" but the tunes she played I did not
- know... I know of them now, but that does not matter. I found the music
- enchanting. Weird thing to think about such a band, but what the hell...
- I did see her again, and again... Many times.. We frequented these
- get togethers all the time. She introduced me to many interesting people
- and eventually I introduced her to some as well. Those were great times.
- The feeling of euphoria without the need for drink. What a wonderful
- feeling. I guess that sometimes the losers really are the winners and the
- "winners" are just too stupid to realize it. Tragic changes started to
- take place at school. No longer was I the whipper as much as the whipping
- post. I lost all interest in what would be the "norm" but it depressed me
- that others could not see what the true reality was, this thing of pure
- thought. I was sick of calculations. I was sick of being ignorant. I
- snapped. All the people that others had told me to avoid were now my
- friends, the "in" crowd was my enemy. What the fuck do I do now I
- wondered. Fuck it I thought, I am different and never will be able to fit
- in with this general status quo of things.
- A tragic thing happened though. This girl and myself grew distant.
- What was once a great friend now seemed an eternity away. She got a
- boyfriend and simply vanished. This was when I discovered something else.
- Even though time may separate, there is always a bond of some strange
- force. Eventually we met again at some location and picked up where we
- left off, seemingly without any thought of the past. Wow, that's something
- else I thought. How could it be that I don't see anyone fer months and
- then..... Wow, something else... Along the lines I was introduced to some
- excellent music. The Smiths, Skinny Puppy, Nitzer Ebb, Echo & The
- Bunnymen.... And yes, even Bauhaus... Wild and crazy times.
- I still continue with the quest for thought, many friends less and
- many years later. It's now 1995, almost 15 years after that day.. I do not
- miss my old life, I wonder where all the people I met at those parties are
- today. I wonder if there are any more people like them. People I can
- actually respect and learn from. I doubted that greatly.. As always, doubt
- turns into reality all to often. Once again I am learning and growing. I
- had stagnated from months and years of dormancy, more prepared to hide in
- my mind than let people into my life. This door has opened it's corroded
- hinges once again though. I would tell you what happens, but one cannot
- play with the future is such a way. What's unknown sometimes is best left
- that way only to be uncovered by careful excavation and planning.
- I sit here in the hall waiting for my next call to service. Waiting
- and wondering what my next life will bring. I am called by my spirit guide
- to come into the light. I walk slowly, not worrying as I fall down a
- funnel of energy so intense it invigorates. I then see a doctor with white
- gloves on. The presence of having a physical body once again disturbs me
- and I start to cry. Life begins anew.
-
-
- Could be real, could be bullshit. The question remains.....
