So the main thing is to simplify, simplify, simplify. Keep it as simple as possible.
It is about subtracting. The lesser the interaction the better.
I should limit my topic of conversation on things to improve my life:
- Ways to reduce spending
- How to be thin and fast
- Matters pertaining to personal development
- Books to read
- Matters pertaining to diet and exercise
- Topics to improve physical performance
- Keeping my world small
- Listening to 247 Continuous
- Being in solitude
Speaking of the last topic; being in solitude is the way to go. I feel great. I can have a very fulfilled life just by being alone. Today my mind is crystal clear. This is only the 4th day.
Although I am in solitude I am never really alone. I have the 247 Continuous and I have the blog. I don't feel lonely at all. Of course there is you and Lizzie. I have my books, I have the movies.
Today is great. I tried listening to the Evening Drive but after 5 minutes, I realized that I was listening to irrelevant facts. I rather be listening to senseless songs then listening to senseless talks. People talk too much nowadays. If you listen carefully there are nothing worthwhile coming out of their mouth.
I rather spend time writing down my thoughts. At least I can look back and reflect on my thoughts for me to progress forward.
Even if the thoughts are mundane, by being alone I don't contaminate my thought with things that of little concern to me. I can insulate myself from thoughts of the masses..
Where is this journey taking me in the end? This is an inward journey. Eventually I should venture inside my mind and body all by myself. The natural progression of isolation is basically the uncovering of self. That's what I gathered from reading Solitude so far. This journey should take me to my true essence. Isn't that what hermits are doing? There is a world of wonder hidden inside everyone of us. We seemed to lose touch with this world because we are busy attending to the external universe. If not Socrates won't suggest for us to know thyself.
Why would Buddha let go of his princely life in pursuit of his Universe Within? Surely the reward is greater than the monetary benefit.
Brb...
Look here Sarah, you don't have to go through this ranting. I am doing this because this is my delight. I like to write. Hence I keep on writing. As simple as that. It doesn't have to make sense. It's the best treatment for my illness.
Now I don't even know if I was mentally ill or I am plain weird all along. However I do know that since I had the broadband installed in 2013, I am in a better condition than before. However the major improvement was in 2016 when I started to composed my thoughts in Dreams of Mirrors.
Hence, while the internet is a wonderful source of information, the real satisfaction is to create. Nothing is more satisfying then to create your own existence. I therefore exercise my power as god to my own thoughts. That's all to it. As I write I am creating. Then like a self-absorb narcissist, I appreciate my own creation. Pretty much like Pygmalion.
