Is it any wonder that the herd mentality lacks true morality? Their God lives in the clouds, of their minds. When thunder twists, they still silently believe it a God, looming ineffable punishments. In all their innocence, they project a fear of their nature - out, into Nature! Who could at the same time, escape themselves and their environment? Their only outlet is a shared grand delusion. Ironically, it is not even shared - but, uniquely crippled to a custom choke. With all the emotions they love, they hate the one that feels - towards heaven.
Courage is a self-made key - that makes its own keys.
Herd
Fools
Many are silently frightened by unattractive people - how foolish, these fools! They will doubt you when you show these humans your virtue. They silently think, 'Oh, he is certainly false!' What does this silently say? - fools attach only sexual attraction to their ego. Their world becomes a lust. In every interaction, they are just fucking themselves.
Lines
Imagine the world of human interaction as a giant series of lines. When standing on the ground, all the lines appear devoid of meaning - a giant cluster of chaos. But, when viewed from above, all the intersections create a profound collage - the greatest masterpiece ever constructed. If we're lucky, we'll catch glimpses of this unity; sustaining shots of light to remind us of the importance of dreaming - of thinking! The imagination is a powerful magnet that propels one up to the heights of existence, and attracts glowing thoughts to the mind.
What obstructs our view of the stars? We stand in front of our own eyes. And we are the telescope.
How do you transcend dreaming, in order to dream?

Genius
Infirmities of the mind confuse everything in existence. The genius is able to hop from phenomenon to phenomenon without the slightest of pull. Even the supposed trappings of the hedonistic life are gathered and filtered - for creative pleasure. Everything is seen as Nature - and everything is grasped, and transcended.
Zen
Zen is deadly to a mind. It exposes beauty, and truth. Where beauty and truth were once simple reflections of one's face, Zen is a myriad reflection, of one's Mind.
Zen, Is.
What was once beautiful, is no longer beautiful - but, truthful. What was once truthful, is no longer truthful - but, beautiful.

Thinking and Writing
First pictures, then words. Is our world made of words? Learn to freeze a memory, and observe it - intensely.

Technology
Technology is rapidly evolving into a new opiate. A new breed of opiate, that has the potential to produce light.
Nietzsche
Nietzsche's descent into madness was partly due to his inability to discover Nature. His mind absorbed Nature, but divided it against itself, and this ultimately led to the supernova. His poetic eyes exploded as he collasped beneath a horse on a lone street corner - hearts and eyes are all-too-carefully connected.
Interesting parallels could be drawn between Caravaggio's painting, 'Conversion of St. Paul' and Nietzsche's own plight.

Inspiration
To bring harmony to an environment, you must deeply understand that it is only a system (be it a very intricate and complex one). The family environment is the most crucial system because of its impact on the individual, and ultimately, the larger system of nature (the potential for universal harmony, within the familial system, naturally varies in accordance with the original harmony of the parents). To distinguish this notion from conventional wisdom, one must understand that improvement and progress are akin to the synthesis of a star - providing an open channel of inspiration, for the affected individuals, towards infinity.
Behavior
How often do we criticize an individual's behavior simply because we lustfully wish for them to improve, for our own pathetic comfort. But, I tell you, there are those whose outward behavior may signify the same critical response, but are in truth acutely aware of their positive progress towards the future - through this behavior. Their future! With their hearts as shields, these rare individuals defeat any moral behaviorist in all their invisibility - ironically.
Music
Anyone who enjoys music will be attracted to a certain style for reasons at first unknown to them. Then they might discover something of themselves within the melodies. Following this, they will be aroused emotionally and this will sustain their spirit. But, this type of appreciation is extremely fleeting, leading to an all-consuming emptiness and a sick dependence on the original giver of gifts. If the desire is strong enough though, the spirit will seek out higher realms of appreciation, for the sake of the soul. This form of higher appreciation takes hold of the intellect, stirring a multitude of faculties. The magnitude of these latent faculties is directly proportional to the will of the listener.
I believe there is an even higher state of musical appreciation, that which only involves the symphonies of the totality of the natural world.

Music
I don't know if it's "higher", but certainly you can listen in a musical sense to things that may not be deliberately musical.I believe there is an even higher state of musical appreciation, that which only involves the symphonies of the totality of the natural world.
I went to a soccer game last weekend. There were people beating drums, playing these hornlike devices that all played the same note, and chanting, "Let's Go, Metros!"
As a piece of music, it really sucked.
Facts
The lesser ego seeks constant fulfillment through impressing others with memorized facts - blinding the ego's owner to its subtle 'evil tendencies': banishing true morality clearly from the consciousness of this individual. The higher ego is constantly searching, questioning, observing - within - for the dual purpose of enlarging its moral and intellectual prowess. The result is a shared knowledge - insight and wisdom - directly perceived, and understood, without the aid of constant memorization. The relationship between nobility and a rarified intellect is harmonious: both are constantly maintaining one another with spiritual nourishment.
Balance
On a balance beam, you must learn to use the appropriate amount of aggression against those that deserve it. You would be doing a disservice to many by remaining 'meek.' To shape-shift with a wisdom blade is the highest.
If you gather the strength to gouge your own heart, only to enter it into your own eyes - you will learn to see, in the dark.

Animal Faces
How cool it is to observe animal nature emerge within a person's face - life like watching a cartoon! Over there, an owl! And there? A vulture! Television is a great tool - turn off the sound, turn up some music - and watch raw human nature.
Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia: a dip, or a drop - into poetic waters. Into oceans or lakes, is a only matter of degree, of emotion - of fear. Find your light switch, and you control your mind.
All thought is just knobs and switchs - build a motherboard! Watch for viruses. Upgrade, daily. Design, programs. Play, video games.

New Language
I want to form a new language. Taking it's roots in any native language, this new tongue would inject poetry into the common vernacular. And not just any flowery frill - deep funk imagery: soul to soul connection.

Re: New Language
Nietzsche's Zarathustra on poets:
Verily, their spirit itself is the peacock of peacocks and a sea of vanity! The spirit of the poet craves spectators - even if only buffaloes.
But I have grown weary of this spirit; and I foresee that it will grow weary of itself. I have already seen the poets changed, with their glances turned back on themselves. I saw ascetics of the spirit approach; they grew out of the poets.
(Thus spoke Zarathustra: second part, 17, Kauffmann translation)
