/transcendence

Schopenhauer said mankind was apparently doomed to vacillate eternally between the two extremes of distress [and/or eustress] and boredom. Whenever you are at one end, time weighs down on you like an old, ambiguous dream. You keep on moving, trying to slip through it. But even if you go to the ends of the earth, you won’t be able to escape it. Still, you have to go there— to the edge of the world. There’s something you can’t do unless you get there.

In this pursuit, there is an off chance of exploring the recesses of the soul, of letting yourself be carried away by imagination, beauty, and the mystery of fiction and art, of discovering a place between reality and surrealism, of finding a mode of expression that transcends language – written or spoken. And maybe you’ll create something gorgeous in its own way.

These frames titled ‘transcendence’ are a child of my imaginative thinking while on a cosmic journey on one of the extremes. Which one, I’ll let you decide. If you can, watch these while listening to Cosmic (around 05:00) by Avenged Sevenfold.

“Dancing in the wind as roses born again
There you’ll find me,
before the dawn of man In castles made of sand
There you’ll find me,
writing in the caves As fire lights the way
There you’ll find me,
mask of royal glow Done in pharaoh’s clothes
There you’ll find me”
