1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 16: Notes From Past Months.

I wonder why God wanted Adam and Eve to live in ignorance. It seems that once the snake showed up it opened their eyes to the fact that God lied. He had told them that if they ate from the fruit of the forbidden tree they would surely die. As we know though, they didn't … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 16: Notes From Past Months. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 15: What’s the Point of It All?

Sometimes we wonder why we should even try, we awake with this doubt, with its accompanying thoughts and feelings, they hold us down to our comfortable beds, comfortably numb but held down by our own weight. The room's a mess, the whole house even, for days and weeks on end, for months, time flies and … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 15: What’s the Point of It All? →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 13: Immigrating to Canada, Pressure from Parents.

I was born in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. I lived in Honduras, both in Tegucigalpa, the capital, as well as San Pedro Sula, the industrial capital, for ten years before my family immigrated to Canada. My father studied economy and received his Master's Degree. He is a very intellectually driven man who takes pride in his understanding of … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 13: Immigrating to Canada, Pressure from Parents. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 9: Reading is a Great Hobby.

For the last year and a half I've kept up a goal of reading a book every week, or every two weeks, or occasionally a month, depending on how many pages the book has, but usually it takes me a week to read a book of around 150-200 pages. I can honestly say that this … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 9: Reading is a Great Hobby. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 7: Visionary Revelations of the Now.

Images flooding my mind, some familiar, some seemingly random. I close my eyes and patterns begin to form, geometric, kaleidoscopic, a tingling sensation running through my whole body, up my spine, into my cranium and brain. I recognize the truth of living in this moment, I feel it stronger than ever, the obvious truth. Different … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 7: Visionary Revelations of the Now. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 6: Being Aware of Being Aware.

I had a really powerful experience a few months ago on an acid trip on one mere blotter tab. I've had higher dose trips, but the point was not to get insanely psychedelic that night, but to examine a bit of what is lurking just beneath my mind’s surface as I enter this technically new … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 6: Being Aware of Being Aware. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 5: Personality, Truth & Love.

It is interesting to think about which traits of a person might be a part of his or her personality, and which might be part of something innate and belonging to the very soul of the individual. Love is unconditional because it is created in those moments in which we are truly ourselves, in those … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 5: Personality, Truth & Love. →

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 4: Morality, the Origins of Good and Evil.

Yesterday I brought up a conversation which I had with my grandparents the other day, which got me thinking about the nature of God and life, as well as death, and faith. They have faith in Jesus, they are devout Christians. I have faith in God, but I'm not sure who or what God is, … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 4: Morality, the Origins of Good and Evil. →

DAY 7: 1,000 WORDS: LOVE, WORK, AND MYSTICISM.

Seventh day of writing and publishing 1000 words. So I started this challenge a week ago now, with a brief explanation about what mainly motivates me to write. On Day 2, finishing up on Day 3, I detailed some of the facts of the country of Honduras, my mother land as well as where I'm … Continue reading DAY 7: 1,000 WORDS: LOVE, WORK, AND MYSTICISM. →
