beyond all expectations

Think about what we have to be subject to and go through both physically and mentally if we want to gain general recognition without a personal sense of our shared totality. Not for what we are in ourselves there. But for what we may represent of it to others. Not many can even imagine what we are exposed to when we try to achieve a recognition that does not come from us, from demands that are not our own, but from an outside shared source that is independent of us, and from other peoples inability to expose themselves to what it takes to learn to accept what it is to us. Some even put their lives at risk to attain it. That is often called heroism, and it is a wonderful thing to draw psychic inspiration from as it drives us from a common psychic totality from which it originates. It captivates us and makes us a little crazy but it’s not the only energy out there. It just seems to be the only one who gets to express himself because it is generally accepted. Or the only one we have learnt to accept in shared use. But there are many others.
