Transcription of a stream of consciousness voice memo from 5/25/24, around 3 PM

Sometimes no creative medium can keep up with the speed at which my mind may move. Of course, this means I must slow down and channel the energy well, to ground it down, down down,

Or, that the creative mediums which I am thinking I must use are not suitable at the moment! 

Dude… The Sun. Is a good thing. (hehe) And so is Mercury. Mercury, I have, I feel like, where do I even begin? Where do I even begin? Sometimes it feels pointless to even begin remotely… trying to explain things of this nature. I’m not making any fucking sense, but at least I’m aware of it!

But… so core to my nature does it feel (Mercury). And, I feel like the youth and androgyny, even, of Mercury is so core to my being, and yet so forgotten. It’s as if I’ve convinced myself that life needs to be taken so extraordinarily seriously, but what are we to do here but play?

Allow your curiosity to take you, allow the spirit of adventure and wanderlust to take you. Allow yourself to bounce from star to star, weaving together the connections between them all into incredible constellations..

Let yourself be free. These rules and bounds that you’ve defined for yourself are self-imposed, so so so self-imposed. Sometimes the ways in which we try to maintain sanity only take us farther away from it. How insane is it to force ourselves into tight and confining boxes that only perpetuate our suffering? How insane is it to do that?

And, I feel like that’s how I’ve been living. I’ve been convincing myself that I need to suffer for some reason, yet it’s been entirely self-created, and I do feel like that’s the nature of suffering itself, a matter of perspective and belief, how we decide we need to feel.

Ultimately, what we need to understand is that we are free, and that freedom and imprisonment alike exist within the mind. We can choose to tap into the mind’s ability to liberate, or its ability to confine, and it is entirely our choice. It is entirely your choice. 

Realize that if you wish for it to be so, the handcuffs that bind you will simply click open and you will be free. Realize that, know it, feel it. You choose. You create your own adventure, you create your own life. You create your destiny.

It is entirely of your own making, and at the end of the day (God, I say ‘ultimately’ and ‘end of the day’ so much) what are we all but children?

Adulthood is a lie. Adulthood is an illusion. Adulthood is the greatest delusion that exists, for in the grand cosmic scheme of all that exists, and the ultimate power of the higher power of  this universe, relative to that force and the cosmos, we are all children. We must remind ourselves of that and remain humble, for to the powers that be, what power do we truly have?

We are all students. We are all students. And I believe that the greatest teachers in this life are the greatest students. If you remain perpetually, eternally a student of this world, universe, and all of the beauty and magic that exist therein, one day, you naturally will fall into the position of being at teacher.

But never consider yourself a teacher — you are only one who relays from other teachers. You are a node between points of knowledge.
