The Vision
Hello, I am Sisideas or Simon to my friends. For 40 years now
I have been on a journey. I embarked on this journey as young teenager when
I was looking for answers to a host of questions in the years of my
teenage angst.
Like a voyage of discovery, my journey of thoughts has been incredible.
I have found many amazing truths and new awareness’s along the way.
I have travelled down many a lonely path that seemed deserted; sometimes
my discoveries made me fearful sometimes elated, many times lost and lonely.
But along the way I had, a vision that surpassed all others.
Only glimpses at first, like a light that began to make sense of so many
of my questions.
As time when on my vision became more concrete and complete.
It is this vision that I want to share with you now in the hope that
it may answer some of your questions for you.
What is it ?
It is the simplest of truths, facile and banal in appearance and yet
the stuff of revolution.
It has light within its meaning that in its radiance illuminates an
understanding of things beyond the boundaries of the “human condition”
and sets the soul of man at peace with himself.
It is not the meaning of life but yet it gives life meaning.
It is both hidden and mystical and yet sublimely obvious.
It is at the end of a long journey of thought that steps outside the
conformity of the norms, to let us see the mechanism of our existence.
It is in our dreams of utopia and yet firmly stands with in reality.
It gives understand, to set a destiny for man.
(Read this as if it was referring to you)
You are wonderful,
You are life.
Your wonderfulness is not conditional.
It is not because you’re:
Good or bad,
Rich or poor,
Strong or weak,
Successful or a failure,
It is that you are the miracle that is life.
You are unique and yet share that same wonderfulness with all other life.
It is the simplest of truths is undeniable and yet perhaps that very simplicity
and triteness can mark it as hollow sentiment, but that belies the
magnitudes of the implications when taken as a reality.
To believe this truth as a conscious conviction, to feel the wonderfulness of
being wonderful, is to live life with eyes that can see:
Your own worth,
The worth of others
And give an understanding to existence.
Life is a totality; all forms of life within the totality are equal
But man is unique.
His uniqueness is not of his making,
it is part of an unfolding dynamic miracle.
It fell to man to be given a speck of knowledge:
An awareness of his own existence.
All life is subject to the instinctual laws of nature.
And man is no exception to these rules:
Survive to procreate’
A competitive struggle
That is “the game” of life.
But with that speck of knowledge man can see
The game for what it is
And in his mind step outside its confines.
He lives his life in a false dichotomy of being both,
Player and spectator, actor and audience.
That is the vision, as best a picture as I can paint for you but clearly that is
not all that it is. For the rest you must take your own journey of discovery
to see this vision and make it your own within your heart.
However I have written down the some of the details of my journey in my
writing Diligo Vita that you may find useful to help you on your way.
To those that seek this vision and take up their journeys and those that
dont alike, I send you my heartfelt love to you all,
to the “ Wonderful. ”
