Time

It has been a strange two years in what feels like, solidarity. Started off joining a course which I didn’t even set out to do too. Originally I was going to take part in a technician based course, but was unexpectedly scooted off by the head of the Media department, thanks Sean for the foresight.
I have discovered, what you could call, a base, the kind of architecture in which gives off the illusion of an immediate lack-of. The daily creative activities I make time for didn’t really have this characteristic, though they taught me a hell of a lot. Similar to the feeling when reading particular material. How these pieces of paper, bound together in a rectangular block, can be something that feels really quite personal… and it is. No one else has lived the life you have, when taking in material it is based on your personal experience — your judgements will then follow accordingly.
Though, the time I have acknowledged, administering these creative outlets, has always kept the steady rhythm of my minds antipodes at a steady beat.
Sub-outlets are to me, what co-ordinates the main outlet source.
Experience is something that you cannot expect, and is too often rushed… much like relationships. After visiting a fantastic art-house cinema in Cambridge I couldn’t listen to music, read or distract myself from what just happened… I can barely even remember the film if I am going to be brutally honest, but has confirmed my [almost] complete disinterest in peoples categorical imperatives. Sorry about that.
 
Change is something which has luckily become a regular occurrence in my life, good and bad, as has all lives. I began in a rural Irish countryside growin’ spuds where my heart still beats, to a semi-rural town in Wales, and now [a bit bigger] in Bedford. Cyclical transference of your home and people [in which it is easy to get attached], is a hard one. What is interesting about it though, is that your memories become in context… you literally take yourself outta there and you cant help but see things with a different perspective. Another seemingly tedious thing especially in this day and age is the appreciation of ones own presence, has its many unexpected advantages. It is the un-attachment…
“When you got nothin’, you got nothin’ to loose”

Anyway, back now, went on a bit there… Being here in particular, has given me the time and space to function, this is because of the previous town I lived in. I was blind, because all that I knew was of people who lingered in the town in which they started and will eventually become. How we understand something more when your not looking at it. 

I feel like I haven’t said much about these two years, but… would I have written this if I didnt take part in this course?
If so, what would I have written?  

Musings aside, film is a base in which these brilliant, fantastic things can be explored.
So, thank you for helping me realise this.

Of war and peace the truth just twists
Its curfew gull it glides
Upon four-legged forest clouds
The cowboy angel rides
With his candle lit into the sun
Though it's glow is waxed in black
All except beneath the trees of Eden

The lamp post stands with folded arms
It's iron claws attached
To curbs 'neath holes where babies wail
Through its shadow's metal badge
All in all can only fall
With a crashing but meaningless blow
No sound ever comes from The Gates of Eden

The savage soldier sticks his head
In the sand and then complains
Unto the shoeless hunter who's gone deaf
But still remains
Upon the beach where hound dogs bay
At ships with tattooed sails
Heading for The Gates of Eden

The time rusted compass blade
Aladdin and his lamp
Sits with Utopian hermit monks
Side saddle on the golden calf
And on their promises of paradise
You will not hear a hush
All except inside The Gates of Eden

Relationships of ownership
They whisper in the wings
To those condemned to act accordingly
And wait for succeeding kings
And I try to harmonize with songs
The lonesome sparrow sings
There are no kings inside The Gates of Eden

The kingdoms of experience
In the precious winds they rot
While paupers change possessions
Each one wishing for what the other has got
And the princess and the prince discuss
What's real and what's not
It doesn't matter inside The Gates of Eden

The foreign sun it squints upon
A bed that is never mine
As friends and others, strangers
From their fates try to resign
Leaving men holy and totally free
To do anything they wish to do but die
And there are no trials inside The Gates of Eden

At dawn my lover comes to me
And tells me of her dreams
With no attempts to shovel the glimpse
Into the ditch of what each one means
At times I think there are no words
But these to tell me what's true
There are no truths outside The Gates of Eden

How to use the Hypnagogic for Creative Problem Solving
The hypnagogic is the ultimate paradigm-busting tool. As your brain slips into an associative, impressionistic state, it is no longer bound by conventional wisdom. In addition to making new factual and ideational links on the “rational” plane, you also get visual images linked to concepts, or mathematical formulas linked to sounds, or physical experiences linked to emotions. This cross-platform synaesthetic mixing is the primeval soup of creative thought, and while something similar may also be happening in regular dreaming, in this case there is a crucial difference: the waking state continues to wield influence in the hypnagogic; thought structures – although loose – maintain a bit of that cause-and-effect robustness. Thus dreamers are able, as another commentator has put it, “to critically evaluate images while they’re still before the eyes.”
