The Secret of Lightening

--- comment deleted by author ---

G, that is a very beautiful comment.  Honestly I heard like a loud crackling boom of thunder upon the conclusion of this write...  Strange.

On a side note:

It was brought to my attention that I had a grammatical error in this write, this being the misspelling of the word: lightning.  (it is so peculiar, even thought I know the spelling my fingers still want to type it "lightening".). Anyway, what I wanted to say was that if anyone ever sees any such error or has any forms of criticism, constructive or otherwise (I believe all things can be made to be constructive) please do not hesitate to bring it to my attention.  I will not be offended.  

I am deeply appreciative that anyone would care enough to seek to assist me in self improvement, in any way.  

Also, this error made me reflect on the quote by Miles Davis "fear no mistake.  for there are none.  jump off a cliff..."  (I have seen variations but that is the gist.)

I think that this is true.  On one level, to be daring and bold is a form of freedom that is so very cool.  ON another level, we are human and make mistakes, but we are also divine and are capable of rendering enlightenment from our mistakes.  Sometimes this enlightenment is in the unfolding that results from our mistakes.  but to witness the aspects of this unfolding that are of significance we must have eyes to see, you might say...

And in these points of focus you will see such glories...  and you will know that we exist in an intelligent universe.  and maybe you will be wide eyed, like me.  :)))))

Only you know what becomes known to you and what you know but always embrace this knowledge as it has been placed in your sphere for a reason.

Cipher...you are so enlightened. It's a wonderful feeling when you know what you know.  Things are hidden to some, only because they don't want to see or just can't. If have to look within yourself to realize that we were created not to have much gain, but to absorb everything the universe has for us. There's so much I see but can't express.
The crash of thunder you heard after finishing your write, was a definite sign that you are on the right path. (*_*)

I am so very glad to have interacted with you and exchanged energy and information.  You are an enlightened being and have edified me in countless ways.

I am so inspired by your belief in me.  :)))))

I love so much what you say about being here to absorb everything the universe has for us, and not so much to have gain...  I love love love that!

It is something that I have been contemplating.

I enjoy investing, commerce and making money...  but...  I have been reevaluating my priorities, going into the future.

Which seems to connect to your insight regarding the purpose of our existence and your insight into the crash of thunder.  

Also, I was thinking about or reminded of this evening...  years ago...  when I had heard a similar crash, but from an external event, that actually impacted a large tree in my backyard...  and how I thought of who or what is the thunder and who or what is the lightening...  something like this...  

I am contemplative at this moment...  :)))

Love everything about this ... the assortment of plump ripe words ... the amazing flow ... the masterful use of spacing and line breaks ... excellent write ... a definite keeper ...

Lil, I am grateful for these very profound insights.  I think I have a question for you...  How do you, personally, determine which of your works is of a quality acceptable to your discerning eye?  also, can any piece be brought to that level with editorial considerations?

I am of the mind that "they are all perfect".  but I am interested in the process of others.

Your words and structuring are pulled from the very depths of where dreams are born into being.... Taking shape and form from a lone spark into the universe's way of understanding, via your mind's construct.... It's just a little piece of divine providence or an extremely enraptured explosion of expression... Perhaps both... lol... that I find myself utterly and willingly immersed in.

Ty for sharing, my friend 🙏🏻

Blu, there is that gift again.  This write was very much like a seed "from the other side" (which in my experience all poetry is) which took the form of some sort of energetic algorithm wave length frequency, that came in the form of two that formed a sort of bridge from brain frequency to brain frequency and this wave length manifested in the form of words, as the language of the universe, perhaps...  but again, I do think all poetry is this, however, this was certainly a unique circumstance but not unusual to me...

I have this recurring dream of a hand holding a quill and like writing the most beautiful things I have ever seen on pages of gold...  like the hand just moves in a way that is a beauty of the most high...  

but strangely I perceive the hand as my own and it makes me want to weep...

Thank you, as always for your wonderful and wondrous insights and thoughts.

VM, those are incredibly profound and interesting insights into dreams.  I do think that there are different classes of dreams, from those that contain fragments of the conscious and unconscious to those that are prophetic in nature, and from a place completely outside of ourselves.

I imagine you have heard of the concept of hypnogogia, which a number of notable figures have implemented into their creative process...

I could really wax poetic on this subject...

Your words mean so much to me and edify in the best ways possible and I want to express my deepest gratitude.

Oh yes VM

I certainly picked up on that very elevated and enlightened perspective...  

The second death...  I love that so much and have been thinking about it.

I think that this topic provides a wealth of information, thoughts, and ideas, especially regarding our processes and methodologies as writers/poets/creators.

I think that one of the considerations, regarding "the mechanism" of the sleep/dream state is the retrieval and application aspect.

That is where hypnogogia comes in to play...

It is the state between wakefulness and sleep, where you just begin to go over to the other side, the spirit realms, when your "executive functions" as well as your "functions of novelty" are simultaneously connected, therefore, theoretically, you are able to process the novel in an accessible manner, as well as return to "our world" with the experience predominately in tact, in order to apply the information in mundane channels.

Nicolai Tesla used to tie a key to his finger which would fall on a plate and wake him up.

Socrates would gaze at a candle and go into a trance like state, as he focused for hours on a thought or though process.

There are many other such examples...

And now with our technology, such as SD chambers and neural frequencies, the possible experimentation is off the charts.

There are actually writers who use this type of experimentation to get ideas for books...

I love these kind of topics and get like very excited....:)))))

I have had book ideas and ideas for poetry and other things that came from the dream state.

Like you said, the spirit communing in the spirit realms.

I  thank you so much for your wonderful thoughts that inspire wonder within my heart and mind.  

My mind is going a lot of places right now with the possibilities.

I want to set up a network for collective experimentation and information sharing.  

Whooaa!  I love where you worked up to.

LJ, I deeply appreciate this comment and extend to you my most sincere gratitude.  :)))))

BP, that is an awesome and cool comment and I thank you, most sincerely.  :)))))
