A page from Psychology of a Mark...Everyone comes to a crossroad in their life. I have come to know one is able to will the person into his life that allows him to make the right transition. Those that deny the truth contribute to their demise; hence, complacency...

The Prelude

Presently I'm reading the Prelude by William Wordsworth. The Prelude, it represents a poetic spiritual autobiography of his development. I don't focus on the interpretation as much as I try and focus on what it conjures up in my own soul. It calls me to embrace the solitude that i'm experiencing; the actuality, the imminent. What is the medium one calls to take him/her to a higher realm of thought? Does one choose to even go? It is in our soul to go. This is the divine we search for in nature. That feeling of exile we experience in our loneliness.

Crash

I think at times I talk with people as a form of intimacy. You ask these questions that you already know the answers too, yet still, you put the questions out there anyway. I have to begin more to delve inside. To search more for that realm, as Coleridge would put it, of abstruser musings....

Perspective

I'm encouraged to write more, while reading Edward Said's essay on "Orientalism." When one writes, with it, he (the writer) brings his, not just perspective; but, a psychology as well. One has to be cognizant of where he's at psychologically; and work towards dislodging the myths or Occident influence...

The Enterprise

I'm getting familiar with the Enterprise of Post-Colonialism. The dynamics of economics, culture, and psychology. As Edward Said would coin "the voyage in" versus "out." Being cognizant of this air of being above. Knowing the "Other." As Foucault would express the knowing/power/pleasure; but what is the manichean experience?

2009

I'm looking forward to this coming year. I plan to attend graduate college subsequent to graduating in May. I hope to go into the new year thinking more progressive. I think the year will require more critical, along with, more dynamic thought. We have to struggle through our psychological limitations. For one, that's all they are. Presently, things are peaceful in my life. I have to expand this moment...

Conventional Wisdom

It's amazing how people try to make sense out of conventional wisdom. I mean when one's source of information comes from the majority. I'm coming to know, although the economy is in the state that it's in, one at the same time has to check his logic on how he approaches life. Some see these times as opportunity. The difference between these two individuals is their knowledge base. I hear so many students worried about student loans; and, one should be concerned with the responsibility of paying them back. Yet, I never hear anyone mentioning using the loans in a constructive way to put themselves in a better situation. One can invest, if his situation allows it, some of the proceeds from a loan. One doesn't have to wait till he/she graduates to begin to repay the loan. Many have sold property and repaid the loan in one installment. People really need to survey their psychology like a business-at the end of every day.
