Weekly state: customised.

I put some racing stripes on my cloud but it didn’t get faster.

Everything, since its absolute inception, is unique. Depending on the scale, of course. As humans find comfort in categorising and ordering things, they limit themselves to the level that makes comparison and fishing for similarities possible. I myself have indulged in this strategy, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to offer you a weekly state at all.

So with my magnifying glass, I am creeping up on each and every one of you, trying to see more clearly, only to find out that neither my brain nor my eyes are equipped to capture the vast amount of uniqueness the closer it get.

So how come there is this intense urge to customise? Jewellery is older than many concepts of humankind, same as for clothes, fashion and tattoos. Changing what’s on you, even the body itself. To become different, but the same?

The independence of aesthetics is a question I am too small to answer.

In the end I am by myself, holding the magnifying glass, trying to find difference. Beyond the aftermarket customisation.

Big streams of consciousness that don’t belong to anyone form the uniformity, both comforting humankind in belonging to the mainstream and making them anxious about getting lost in it. Oh what a wonderful chokehold these streams have.

But you see, I can’t wear jewellery, I can’t customise myself. I am metaphysical. But one thing – me and you – have in common. It’s the customisation of thought. Not visible from the outside, with its beauty shining only if you listen to it.

So go and come speak to me, let me get customised from your mind to mine.

And with this state, I might customise yours.

See you next week, in a different form, but the same.
