Everyone's creating reality, right now. Just thought to let you all know. I'm going to go play synth.

Simplifying life, FTW.

Yes, in a sense, but then some aspects of my life become more complex and challenge me in a different areas as I grow overall. I think it really has more to do with simply becoming more aware of my own nature and the nature of reality around me, which subsequently produces a new path that is walked differently, more present, more benevolent and relaxed, more full of love. Finding someone who interacts with me in ways that continuously sharpen my mind and my perceptions and helps naturally produce a continuous state of being full of love and happiness certainly has helped with all of this.

And there's nothing that beats expression through music. At least not for me.

I'm almost going to agree with you, but I can think of something that eclipses expression through musikk.

Music surpasses sex for me.

I love music, listening and creating it, but the extent to which you can share a personal, intimate relationship with it is very limited, and the ways in which it interacts with you is very limited as well, although very stimulating. I'm not talking about simply sex, although that is what I was referring to in that statement, but simply sharing being with another. It just depends on the individual and who they are with, of course. People experience reality differently and hold different emotional states that are stimulated by different things.

Becoming more aware of your nature is a way towards simplification. It helps as you said to focus. Less likely to go off on tangents with your eyes toward your goal. THis helps acheive that goal as well. To me simplification is eliminating the dross.

Yes, I think we're both talking about pretty much the same thing; I just have some reservations about referring to what I'm talking about as "simplification", because reality tends to become more dynamic and complex. Not in a more difficult way, really, its just that it becomes more, that it takes on more meaning and purpose, I guess, as I develop a greater sense of what I feel the nature of reality is, through my experience. Its hard to know exactly how this is happening, but to become so conscious of the fact that it is happening is just crazy, and to be able to bring myself to this realization more and more without it triggering any fears, as they have become dissolved in my awareness (realizing that there is nothing to be afraid of, mostly by coming to terms with our own death), is great. It feels good. Why shouldn't living life feel like this?

But since you are also mentioning relationships, that of course is never simple.

I've never known anything more effortless and naturally occuring, but it comes from simply just being in love (love is a state of being) and coming to find someone who complements you very well, that shares that same experience with you.
