Lubricate Your Mind

I can see the mind becoming physically enclosed by a sort of lubrication like when you drink cups of wine, just enough to speak freely, maybe even interestingly. This state is a sort of displacement from the normal way that we might think about things. Is it a state that allows entry into the sublime? How do we access the deeper structures that animate the art that we love? How do we animate ourselves to create that which inspires the sublime state?

A true genius breaks the rules, breaks the systems to create. To be captivating is to push the limits and push the limits and then push them more until what you've created is so mind crushing that you can hardly look at it without having to love and revolt all at once.

What sort of passion is it that makes one incapable of experiencing the sublime? A Greek Philosopher Longinus says that it is when we are driven by the new, that being the latest craze or fashion, we have an ignoble soul. It is by this source of movement that we are incapable of entering the sublime.

Great limits exist, but we are the source of those limits that deceivingly enclose our worlds. The true limits, being the universal limits are beautifully mysterious and are far beyond what we can grasp. Transcend your limits by lubricating your mind. Coat your world anew by intoxicating confinement to invisibility so that you can both love what is to be loved, and shatter what is to be shattered in the realm of apathy.
