Brain-Clutter

by Justin Steckbauer on February 25th, 2008

We are so heavily affected by the various elements of life living in society today. Does chaos sum up the current state of things on a personal level? Maybe not, but we’re nowhere near any real clarity. That I’m sure of.

Our minds are packed with garbage, loads of it everyday; Taken in through the five senses. It’s a mind fuck. I mean how much superfluous data can a human mind take before it begins to lose focus?

It’s not even like a garbage bag full or even two, it’s an avalanche of useless data, everyday. Billboards, television, radio, the internet, even when you’re driving around town you’re continuously hit with giant signs and logos like the MCD arch, chain gas stations, grocery stores. I’m just thankful they aren’t putting up giant televisions on the sides of buildings here yet. Having to deal with that everyday would piss me off in a very real way.

Everyday of our lives we take in so much junk. It’s chaotic, overwhelming and stress inducing. The clutter drives us further and further away from real clarity. We’re all walking with gray clouds surrounding, self consuming, isolating and providing a constant fog we’re forced to fight off in exchange for focus.

I guess overall there’s really not much we can do. I haven’t heard of any medications or surgeries to remove brain-clutter. Oh well. We’ll just have to work with what we’ve got.

We may not be able to disperse the fog around us, but I’d bet we can step out of the cloud cover every once in a while.

Step out of the chaos and take a look around. Clarity. Relief. Free yourself of the world’s worries, the concerns, the coming responsibilities. Set it all aside.

And just think. Let your mind choose the path from one thought to another. Listen. Consider. Blossom thoughts from thoughts to new thoughts and back to past ones. Ride the mind waves.. Wander the open skies of true free thought.
