Inaccessibility. The inaccessibility of me to myself was an interesting feeling that I have dug out from among the rudiments of lost thoughts. It’s like you are like a text subjected to varying interpretations. Each time the deconstruction would bring different meanings. One you overlap with another you and many layers of you will be hidden within a single you, like one text is a combination of different layers of meanings slippery and fluid. People change. And the fluidity in you may sometimes won’t take a shape. Inaccessible for an interpretation. Thoughts and feelings fail to amalgamate into one whole. “Unification of sensibility” giving way to its dissociation. There is only a fog and shadow. Quaint and oblivious.
Immanuel Kant. Sublimity dismantles itself for a clearer view. A state beyond reason. The experience drowns you into an overwhelming terror. Elevation. Wonder. Incomprehension. And I wonder what it would be like. Can sublimity be possible within the original thoughts itself? Can there be sublimity in discovering the fragility of your existence in a moment when elemental forces rips off your arrogance? Or is it simply epiphany? There are trees with demon shape and angelic vastness which often gives me a sense of elevation rather than a feeling of beauty. The mystery of creation. Does the artist who creates totally be conscious of the sublimity that he is drawing in? The artist should melt in the
creation, be the creation. And finally he gets alienated from the created. To
stand away, breathless and wide eyed, admiration and awe winking at his heart,
unable to comprehend his own creation. What a moment it would be! Isn't it itself
sublime?

ReplyDeleteSo every time, we need a little more stimulation(pain) than the previous .. or else, its like, usual and we get toned to it.
But a silly something may happen to just awaken you from this slumber
Mind is tricky my dear Nasnin.. sublime and fluttering.. layers of toppings.. and love
Thanks Pygma:) Your interpretations sometimes give me new ideas and themes to scribble on:)
DeleteI often think some trees luck evil! I laughed at that one - great writing. Take Care.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karima:) Glad to see you here! Keep visiting:)
DeleteI had figured you would have a backlog of posts for me to go through - but I see you haven't been very active on the blogging scene either. Ahh.. well !
ReplyDeleteThis right here is some heavy literary "subliminal" writing.... I was wondering if you stood back, like your artist, after writing it and were able to comprehend your own creation ;-)
Sometimes when I go through my own writings it completely feels like reading an "absurd play"! To call it "sublime" would be like a comforting excuse..."incomprehension in disguise" would be more suited :p
DeleteThanks Ankur! Glad to see you again:)
