Revisiting the muses

I keep thinking of the 9 Greek muses, and how our thoughts are based on their inspiration…

What I was saying is that it’s important to have the people in your life that inspire you to see through your delusions. Often times the most pleasing people can be the most detrimental to our psychological health.

Two people that symbiotically feed into each others’ delusions can be critically deleterious to both parties’ health.

In the end somewhere between realistic expectations and idealistic enthusiasm there has to be a sense of equanimity worth striving for.
The problem is that many people do create such strong gravity on our mental processes that we sit there gawking as if they were some magical lava-lamp, when in reality our dreams pass us by.
 
Some people inspire us to look out for problems, some people inspire us to search deep within ourselves, some people inspire us to let go of ourselves and some people inspire us to work smarter.

I tend to favor people who provide a sense of purity, a sense of abstraction and a sense of logic

Obviously I find the most comfort in my own thoughts, because I’ve been with them longest, but to take inspiration from my own thoughts is a much harder task.

I find that purity favors satisfaction in simple things, and to be encouraged in that direction is definitely something I want.

Polyhimnia, the holiness of each thought, the sacrament of each moment, meditated on, deliberating in the search for pure intentions,

La tristeza no conoce la riqueza de tu amor,
un hombro de descanso mas fino, nunca dios ah creado,
la busqueda empieza con el primer beso de tus labios,
entrego mi autodominio en tu abrazo,
y doy mi dia para relajarme en tus pensamientos,
en la riqueza de to sombra.
