#AuthenticExpression

[yellowmanula]

I'm training to be able to speak in a way that completely removes any intent of power from my words (or any power that might generate itself). I want to speak so that my words can simply be accepted or not, with the reach of my message forming organically, without the support of symbolic capital. I'm training to reduce my words to what I truly think or am still coming to understand. In my opinion, this requires battling the ego, distinguishing externally imposed needs from those essential for proper functioning.

I’m training myself to not feel jealousy, to engage in only healthy competition, to cultivate good mental habits, assertiveness, and clarity without illusions. I’m training for balance between asceticism and a shout of vitality.

I’m not aiming for an ego-free expression; rather, I strive for a level of detachment where you can hear and see the thought ❤. It’s incredibly difficult because I have a tangled, contradictory nature, but I want this.

She never held back. If it crossed her mind, it left her mouth. Wild, honest, and unfiltered. And by the spirits, I loved her for it. Every word felt like lightning. Still does.

Still searching for you, my love.

"Voltage in My Veins"

This that thump in the chest,

that crackle in the air

when the ink starts spillin'

and new worlds claw they way outta me.

Hands twitchin', mind racin',

ain't slept in days

but who needs rest

when you caught up in creation’s grip?

Blood hummin',

pen scratchin',

like the ancestors whisperin' through my fingertips.

These dreams ain't born soft—

they kick, they scream,

they demand space.

So I let 'em flood the page,

raw and reckless,

'til the world gotta feel what I felt.

Exploring is Everything

In my latest blog post, I explore my relationship with reflection. While I don’t consciously reflect, my blog has become a tool for deeper thought, akin to the observer effect in quantum mechanics. This allows me to write authentically and organically.

Looking at my blog it would appear that I am the reflective sort. I have mixed feelings about this. My first reaction is to remember the masterful works of allegorical fiction that were filed under “reflective practice” in my professional development “portfolio”. I couldn’t quite claim that any similarity to real events or people was purely coincidental, but I can’t remember more than a handful,…

Discovering Authentic Expression Through Letting Go in Music

Hey everyone! I want to take a moment to talk about something that’s been on my mind lately: the beauty of letting go of control and simply playing in the flow. As musicians, we often strive for perfection, meticulously planning every note, every rhythm. But there’s something magical that happens when we release that need for control and allow ourselves to be carried by the music. When I let go…

Life Lens - Entry 134

Labels & Layers It’s genuinely irksome how society tends to fixate on our angry moments and dub them as our “true colors.” It’s as if the times when I’m happy and showing kindness are dismissed as some sort of charade. I mean, come on! We’re multi-faceted beings with a range of emotions and qualities. Yet, it feels like all the good aspects of ourselves are overshadowed and reduced to…

Speech 6: Exploring the Depths of Expression and Truth

Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests,

In our ongoing journey of self-discovery and the pursuit of authenticity, we have discussed the transvaluation of values, the rejection of modernity and tradition. Today, I invite you to dive even deeper into the realm of expression and truth, for there is more to be uncovered beyond the surface.As we navigate the complexities of communication, we must remember that words alone do not encompass the full spectrum of human expression. Communication extends beyond the verbal; it includes our body language, gestures, and the unspoken emotions that linger in the spaces between words. To truly articulate our thoughts effectively, we must become adept at understanding and harnessing these non-verbal forms of expression.Convention, often seen as a hindrance to creativity, can also serve as a canvas upon which innovation and artistic brilliance flourish. Tradition provides us with a structure, a foundation from which we can push the boundaries of what is possible. It is through the tension between tradition and innovation that art evolves, and it is through this evolution that we discover new ways to communicate our deepest thoughts and emotions.However, as we explore exceptional states of being, those moments of heightened awareness and intensity, we must also question the very nature of truth and perception. How do we discern what is true from what is perceived? It is often in the interplay of conflicting sensations and beliefs that our understanding of truth is born. The journey of intellectual inquiry is a profound one, built upon a foundation of faith in our perceptions.In our pursuit of authentic expression and thought-provoking introspection, we must constantly challenge our assumptions and delve into the depths of our experiences. We must seek to understand the origins of truth and the sensations that underlie our convictions. By doing so, we not only expand our capacity for expression but also gain a more profound understanding of ourselves and the world around us.In conclusion, my esteemed audience, as we continue to embrace the power of communication beyond words and convention, and as we explore exceptional states and question the nature of truth, let us remember that our journey of self-discovery is an ongoing one. It is through this journey that we uncover the layers of meaning within our existence, and it is through our authentic expression that we connect with others on a profound level.May each of you find the courage to delve deeper into the realm of expression and truth, to challenge the boundaries of convention, and to embrace the richness of your own experiences. Thank you for your attention. 🌟💭🎨🔍🌟💭🎨🔍🌟💭🎨🔍🌟💭🎨🔍
