21. Multi-thinking

I studied the biographies of traditional shaman
specifically, their ability to develop their minds
enabling them to multi-task, or this case - multi think

The process is similar to programming a computer
to perform rudimentary and basic searches itself
Much like how we use CTRL + F
to find specific words on a document

With one push of the RETURN button
the computer locates any specific words you want
So you don't have to read through
the entire document or screens of text yourself

For the shaman, they utilise more of the brain
Where the normal part performs the perfunctionary
stuff that gets us through our day
Whilst the other part seeks answers for
the harder, more difficult or perplexing questions

Intiutive leaps come more and more
Steady streams of consciousness arrive
maybe as they're shopping, driving, emailing
or maybe as they're updating their blog

Even as they sleep or slumber
their minds are on autopilot
continually thinking for them
and giving them insights and answers
by the way of dreams either lucid, or not

This was a pathway to knowledge
where ancient ideas, theories and technology
could be discovered once again
Where knowledge existed without
the need for the perciever
or physical evidence or literature

This was a shaman's greatest tool
one of their greatest assetts
one providing enlightement
one providing automatic perception and defence

How do I know? I just thought about it
and found it in literature
and in the biographies of shaman...

20. Words of comfort

All knowledge has a mauri
when we attack or criticise ideas
We are effectively attacking
or trying to harm it's mauri or life

If you come for good, you're welcome to stay
If you come for bad, you must go away...

You can't turn bad things into good
but you 'can' turn them into something better

19. Pendulums

Like a pendulum I find myself
being pulled to the left
being pulled to the right
the slightest breeze carrying me here
the slightest whisper carrying me there

But I am a pendulum which never moves
seeing things to my left
seeing things to my right
but remaining still
remaining perfect
per-pen-dicular...

18. Road to Enlightenment

Sometimes I think its hard trying to move
from the fuzzy end to the other end
of total peace and enlightenment
I know heaps of people try and run straight there
and most normal people get there in the end
Unfortunately they tend to be in a box
in the ground when that happens
So I think I'll just enjoy the journey at my own pace...
