Take me to a place I have never been,
Take me into the realms of your imagination,
Forget everything that your life has taught you,
And that you have been made aware of.
Write me something that will leave me spellbound.
Let go of all the knowledge you know,
And take me into a place no man has been before.
Are you up for the challenge?
For challenge you I will!
Think about it?
Be the first to be truly original.
You know how it is?
Everything that you read you feel you have read before.
Give me something different!
Something unimaginable!
Take me beyond the realms of conformity.
Make this the best write of your life!
Be not what you are or where you are?
Stretch your imagination to the limits.
And believe when you write each word,
That you can be anything that you wish to be.
And go to places that have never been discovered before.
Break free of all that you are, and think and feel.
And show me the impossible!
So when you start to write, think?
Is this what I already know?
Is this a memory of childhood?
Is this who I am?
Break free and show me the wonder I await!
Time shifts when my heart grows weary,
Weakness physically always sleeps me to a dimension I can rest within, from the ache of this primitive body I believed once that I was bound to.
But no more!
Surrounded by an impenetrable sphere, I close my eyes and look upon the universe as it truly is.
To travel a light year from the bonds of my earthly calling is easy for me now.
But light years are measured within the minds of science and don’t really exist.
They exist only in the floundering of the brain trying to understand.
How fast one must travel, to overcome distance?
But distance does not exist.
It was so difficult at first when I was a non believer.
To reach beyond the earth that my soul exists upon.
But non of it is true, it is just a figment of ones imagination, a place our primitive mind can relate too.
A place we see as home, somewhere to return.
The reality is that we can travel anywhere we choose in no time all!
But travel is non existent also, for you are already there.
Just as time is non existent, yet we live by it to measure our existence.
We can become anything we think in an instant.
We can be anywhere we wish in a moment.
We are a part of everything and everything is a part of us.
You see everything that you have been taught by your ancestors, everything you have learned upon this earth.
You have to forget, to be able to become what it is that you truly are.
There is no language where you belong, communication does not exist, for total wisdom does.
There is no one place to live, everything you see is ever changing, not still, timeless, existing only because of your imagination.
Like a thing as simple as the taste, of a fruit that only exists because everyone you know sees it, and believes it to be there.
Yet all these things food, fruit, the air that you breath, the sea, the sky, even the mountains.
They exist in your mind, they are your beliefs to enable you to feel that you belong.
Your primitive mind finds it hard to let go, and so all your life, a life you believe to start and end.
You stay bound here in this place.
When the truth is all of everything, everything unto eternity and beyond is yours for the taking.
Simply because you are it, and it is you.
So let go and become whom you truly are.
Be not afraid to be alone, for alone is all we are within a place so vast only when you believe can you exist within it.
And if not?
If this is far too much for your mind to comprehend?
Then stay earthly bound, and travel the circle of your imaginary life.
Whilst I travel the imaginary universe!
