A Space Without A Goal

"Whatever state we find ourselves in, whether in strength or in weakness, in joy or in sorrow, whatever we find ourselves attached to, we must abandon." - Meister Eckhart
Everybody's different. It's simply not possible to conform.
Discontinuity, a letting go, the going off along a new train of thought, is the essence of creativity. On the web, every possible creation is no more than one connection away.
We are never more than one connection away from freedom.
"My problem is how successfully I can change my mind again." - Richard Rauschenberg
Think of an influence as where two web sites cross.
A web site is a process. A flow.
Everything flows. Everything's connected.
Assume, for a second that what is being described here is the truth. How would it feel?
Heal yourself, get webbed. Sweat the fever out.
Dispense with pretence.
Do what you're about.
It is difficult to live in a body when you can't think outside it. Get webbed.
Make thought. Build a web site.
Allow for the fact that the truth doesn't need changing. Relinquish control. Simply connect.
We are as symbols.
Connect intuitively.
The best art plays with time. It draws the attention span and, with it, the Mind.
Welcome to the Age of Aesthetics.
When we mix things up, we embrace the trend of the universe - one which tends toward a primary reality. Mix it.
"What if we put him somewhere else? In another existence?" - Rainer Werner Fassbinder's Berlin Alexanderplatz
We're behaving perfectly normally given our view of things. But we imagine our view can be controlled. It can't. Let go. Connect.
"The human understanding is of its own nature prone to suppose the existence of more order and regularity in the world than it finds. And though there may be many things in nature which are singular and unmatched, yet it devises for them parallels and conjugates and relatives which do not exist." - Francis Bacon
There is nothing premedititated about where you will end up two connections from here. In other words, there is nothing premeditated about where you will end up one connection from here.
"Intelligence highly awakened is intuition, which is the only true guide in life." - Krishnamurti
