Ever since I was a little child, all i wanted was to feel exhilarated forever. I remember so clearly playing and loving life. And then, “reality” started to set in for me and my family. These beautiful moments would soon begin to fade. People close to me and others far away through the media and television began to pile drive my mind with beliefs and opinions. And the world around me began to suppress and start to cripple my progress and comprehension of life and the world around me. The endless labyrinths of politics and religion. The two things in this life that are said to help us all, actually started to corrupt me and the people around me. I lost the desire to live. Mentally and emotionally compressed, I could not function to and through reality… And then I was invited by Mark Hamilton to join the S.O.S. I must say now with a great sigh of relief, that I feel the purity, love and beauty of a child. The kind you feel for a very short time when you are child. Before the pollution of this world begins to wither our beautiful childhood. Mark Hamilton and the S.O.S have shown me the keys to a true and happy life, they have given them to me and have shown me how to use them! Mark Hamilton has shown me how to unlock the greatest potential in myself with true honesty that benefits everyone and everything around me! I have found my purpose in life as a creative person. Thanks to the S.O.S., i have discovered an abundance of talent and intellect. I have uncovered abilities as a musician and have taken them to greater levels with ease, confidence and power. My abilities as a painter and sculpture have excelled dramatically. I can see opportunity where ever i go because I can see ever so clearly now. I can honestly say that as I awake every day I feel beautiful. And most importantly I feel a tremendous love for everyone around me. Without the naiveté of a hopeless optimist. The S.O.S, to me… simply reinstates the phrase “think for yourself, and question authority”. A powerful weapon against any person, religion or political agenda with a false and corrupt agenda. honesty always makes its way to the front row. No matter what.
My heart overflows beyond words. I am deeply grateful and thankful to Mark Hamilton and the S.O.S.
Aside from all the corruption, lies and illusions of this world, I have reconnected with the child within. the beauty that should have never been lost or even faded.
I will share a lyric by A Perfect Circle.
PICTURE A PARACHUTE A PLAYGROUND
INNOCENT FACES IN A CIRCLE
TINY HANDS HOLD AROUND THE EDGES
I FRET FOR EVERY GENTLE MOMENT{AND WHEN THEY LEAVE}
MY HEART HIGH ABOVE THEIR HEADS
ON THIS BILLOWING DIAPHRAGM OF MEMORIES
AND I STRUGGLE TO CATCH A GLIMPSE OF YOU
BUT WE ARE BOUND BY WEBS OF HABIT
Dear Member, I recall feeling as you did. That is not to be able to function. Actually it is a helplessness. Following Neothink and Mark Hamilton’s writings I have become a different person. One full of hope and joy. I have a wonderful family and friends. Many of my friends are Neothink society friends. Contact with them is uplifting.
I love your poem. Hope you post more of them.
