the amorphous reality
“And it’s like, well, it looked like a giant spotlight shining down on me, and I call it transmolecularization, my whole body was changed into something else. I could see through myself. And I went up. Now I call that an energy transformation because I wasn’t in human form. I thought I was there, but I could see through myself.”
-Sun Ra (from the book “Space is the Place: the lives and times of Sun Ra” by John F. Szwed)
“What the Doctor explained
was that we had fought
that we had patiently
rushed into our trans
formed
selves.”
-Amiri Baraka (Funk Lore)
“you got to fight for your mind
while you got the time”
-Ben Harper (Fight For Your Mind)
that most feared
is being out
of one’s mind
and if there were
a conventional solution or total cure
it would be a multi-billion dollar industry
for sure
but what if some minds
are designed
not to be so quantified
and defined –
like the infinite void
itself
beyond measure of what can be seen, heard,
or felt?
there is a reality
to that without form or shape
which existed long before
bodies, beliefs, faith, or fate
how do i know? –
i have been there
in the frightful wilderness –
the unknown zone of loneliness and despair
it may be connected
to a lineage of slavery
of untrusting lives
and splintered families
it may be an ancient gift
lacking in current clarity
passed through hidden variables
thought to be protected genetically
be careful of those
who profit from your sickness
they may be of the kind who seek to gain
by keeping others weakest
hone your own healing powers,
protect your given shape and form
let love lead the way
to guide you from wickedness and harm
