Nocturnal Celestial Emissions from The SeaGoose Nebula

If you’re ever alone, out in the woods, in the dark (And you can’t be scared; because if you are, what’s out there might actually get you.), if you are calm and collected; sitting in solitude; and completely engulfed in the darkness… Your mind will start to wander.

First you fight to supress the fear and anxiety towards the unknown that surrounds you. Once the fear of the wild is surpressed, your mind wanders towards your self and your life. Balancing the books and organizing what to do with yourself is no small task, especially when the books are in your head (and being alone), the “to-do’s” seem so far away. Don’t be discouraged, eventually, even the most daunting of thoughts will pass, and then you are left with only one road to follow… The road inward.

Getting to know yourself is harder than you would think. Your mind is its own ocean, to which the bottom is far from being reached. So many inreresting sidebars and detours are found on the road inward. Say, you think of a subject like love, you might think of music, and then you think of a band, and then a song, and then a person that you listened to that song with, and eventually, no matter where you treaded- all thoughts lead back to: What is most important to you. If you get there, this thought/ question/ obstacle/ desire/ all of them rolled into one, will most -likely consume you (I hope if you’re a serial killer you’re not reading this!), it will become your purpose and your creed, and hopefully it will put your world into upheaval. It will be like… having your favorite t-shirt, super-glued to your body. It’s familiar, it looks good and you love it, but by god all you want to do is rip it off and get as far away from it as possible.

Making yourself whole takes time, I mean- isn’t that what life’s all about; Finding what missing pieces of the puzzle you can before time runs out? (If you thought I was going to have some secret-of-life bullshit- You were way off!)  I hope you find a solution, or a plan, or something that helps make your dreams and goals closer, but I believe that true happiness is a rare gift on earth; So, you might not get there. Don’t worry about that. The path to where I’m going can be reached by any side-street, highway, by-way, sidebar or detour. They all end up on the same path. Speaking of which, I need to get back on the path this was intended to take.

Once you are left alone, in the dark, away from everything; away from the meaningless numbers of the everyday; away from yourself (even if the feeling is copasetic); and finally, away from the restraints of everything, but your ever-expanding mind… You will find yourself hearing a strange and foreign voice.

I’ve heard it called a concience and I’ve heard it called… more sinister things.

Let me introduce my self. I, myself and I, am/is/are that voice.

Coming direct from the back of your head.

Let me tell you some stories. I think you’ll like what I have to tell.

Anyways- It’s nice to meet you.

I have o first start with a Hello and welcome to this experiment on which we, my friends and I will be trying to express a little about whats going on in our individual universe. I can only speak for myself, but will be writing on anything and everything, well things that I find interesting, I fancy myself a psychonaut, the idea of exploring my own mind gives me unquantifiable joy, in trying to organize the ideas in my head I have done a lot reading and psychedelic exploration on a vast amount of subjects. My goal will be to convey myself in words, in the hopes that will inspire some kind of reaction in anyone, weather it be a good or bad reaction is not of much importance to me because I will surly be interested in reading the good and bad, but be sure that I will read it for the only reason is that I find peoples opinions important especially if they go to the step of expressing it. The idea of a blog is interesting to me because for the very reason of instant reaction to anyones materialization, I have to say the thought of what others think about my musing is very exciting, cause I have the potential of learning so much from others who have something to contribute to my thoughts is the reason to be on the internet.

Introductions are in order, I am BrotherShine, well at least that what I named myself when I started using the Internet, my given name is Magnus. I am not so good at speaking on myself and I do apologize for the non cohesiveness of this introduction but I find it difficult to wrap a person into a words, I truly feel that you will get to know me as you read more, and hey you might after you read my things you might not like and like some of the other contributers to the site better.
Well I think i am done with this, my first entry and I have to be honest it was pretty painful for me cause basically i am trying to sell myself to you and I hate sales, the idea of selling oneself to the vast audience is something I find strange. But now I have introduced myself I can open the flood gates to a the world I have been creating in my head, so please sit back and enjoy the tour.

To make this trivial world sublime,

take half a gram of phanerothyme.

- Huxley

To fathom Hell or soar angelic,

just take a pinch of psychedelic.

-Osmond

I thank you very much for you time… This has been BrotherShine coming to you from the limitless void in the back of your mind.
