The Magic

Magic is anesthesia. . . 
What takes you from concious
To an object
Back to concious
Is in the magic, of anesthesia
What could be hours
What could be seconds

A month, what could be a year. . . simply,

            disappears

Because anesthesia, it's f*****g magic. . .

And so, 

How does this happen?

What are we missing?
Or maybe perhaps rather,
What aren't we seeing?
Because real magic is being concious
What takes you from an object
To a person, is in the magic

Of being concious (alive)

And the great tragedy of the object. . .

Truth is stranger than fiction, consciousness more magical than the lack thereof. Falls along the lines of how we take for granted what we have and fail to notice the wonders that surrounds us.
Though admittedly, I lose myself in my mind quite often, becoming aloof and detached.
Nice write, good point, wish I had something more intellectual to say.

ahh yes, well you have nailed that haven't you.

that was a perfect thought process - to see, know, dissolve in the here and now, to be fully conscious, detached and unfettered now that is an art of perfection ...

I don't know about perfect but I'll take it.

In western culture there is a common misconception about certain drug use. There are ways to use certain substances that arouse the conciousness and there are ways to use those same substances to dull the senses and turn off complex thinking. Conciousness is something that lives in the gap between 'proof' and 'truth'... we know it exists and how to manipulate certain aspects of it but we don't really know too much else about it at all. The most perfect thing about conciousness is our imperfected understanding of it... if we ever did know too much about what's really going on around us, where we came from, where we are inevitably going --- we'd all go insane almost immediately probably. The only things that can take it are objects. These are the kind of responses you get when I smoke too much grass in the mornings. Sorry about that.
