Paradiso

I have never written on it or after. This time it was very unique. This time it was the first one that had been so clear. This time it was profound in some ways. And this time i was not expecting it. 4 summers ago i saw paradise and here's what was written:

What an experience! I am sitting here still smiling thinking about it. Its been about a week and it is still so vivid that i wanna put it down before i forget. I have never felt this alive after! It's what you have heard from others who have experience. They said it would be surreal, unreal even, it would be like your whole imagination has come alive in front of your eyes!

Baphomet engine are my new gods btw. These guys did a live set last Saturday and took me to a world that one imagines or one that's created by an animation studio. I have never done plastic and now i am hooked. I had had one 2 weeks before this and it very nice and happy. The usual shadow forms and lights were there but nothing out of the ordinary. This time it was 2! The intense clarity was sheer brilliance!

As is usual i was just walking around saying hi to peeps if i saw them. I kept going back and forth from where the posse was. At one point i was walking and then just stood still for a bit. When i moved i fell cause one leg had gone under. I looked around but couldn't figure out where it was and what i had fallen into. Anyway i got up and had the sudden urge to go to towards the console and take my usual position near the left speaker. I made my way and it was the backdrop in-front of the console that first got my eye. It was glowing brilliantly under the uv that was placed on the ground under it. I followed the glow to the ground to a small area where some fluorescent powder had been sprinkled. The combination of the backdrop, the uv and the powder created an area with this glow around it and it seemed to have a life of its own.This is where i stayed until morning.

I kept looking at the glow and it seemed to have created a field of energy and right in the center was the tiniest dot with what seemed like a heartbeat. It seemed black at first but when i looked closely it was translucent with an opaque center and a shimmery black outer covering. Then as the beat cracked this dot did exactly the same. The sphere opened up and the life that came through was the smallest little sapling with a branch that glowed bright black. It rose up and stood there while the leaves unwrapped themselves from around the main stem which kept getting bigger and stronger with the bass. As the beat got deeper the sapling tuned into a tree with thick branches which were unfurling there leaves.

The beat got deeper still and there it was, the biggest and most glorious banyan tree you have ever seen. Full of leaves with the darkest chocolate colored trunk. Around it grew the greenest thickest grass that shined with dew drops. Here the music went into crescendo, i crouched down and looked more closely as there emerged caterpillars which were glowing the brightest green and ladybirds with the most beautiful red. Then came the furriest rabbits that gleamed white. And the crescendo breaks and the meadow comes alive with birds of all kinds and colors, rabbits and unicorns running wild, butterflies that were glowing and the tree of life itself basking in the glory of the music that had brought it alive.
Here's when i saw this girl sitting next to me and i realised she was looking at exactly the same thing i was looking at. It was visual telepathy, we were both in the same place!
The music starts rising again, i stand up and look at the sky and then look at the beautiful little paradise i created and start shouting heaven!

The meadow stayed with me all night, with birds, leaves and every other creature dancing and flying to the beats. At dawn the hues became crazy psychedelic and the rainbow that came was magnificent. It was one of the greatest visuals i have ever seen. I wish i can make a digital representation of it and preserve it for life.

Everything has an end and the time for my paradise came violently. A crazy girl comes running towards the console and manages to break the uv. The humanity! The night had brought about a calm over me, so i gave the area a last glance and walked away. Someone pointed out - dude ur pants are torn from the back. I looked and the left leg was torn all the way from the butt down! I had been dancing in a torn pair of pants all night....hehe. I thought about it and then figured thank god it was only one leg that went in cause it was a tube-well i had fallen into. If i had gone all in only the plastic would have known whats coming next and i would have been in there all night!!

Today when i think back, it still makes me smile that i have witnessed beauty from within me. Hope springs eternal and when something like this happens it only makes you realize that purity still exists and it exists within you. It may be manifested to you in any form, the point remains that we need to realize the potential of that beauty that can be brought forth and replicated around us. If not in structure but in thought and action!
