He’s Got the Whole World In His Hands (high school high)
I remember chilling with Fuzair one of those days that fall. He came over and warmly greeted my parents as he entered into the living room. I offered him some water, and after he declined, we decided to get some fresh air.
“You see that bush over there? Now let me show you something...Can you do that, man?”
“Nah, man, I’m good”
“Nah, I mean, you can do it, too. You’re not jumping over leaves and branches, man, you’re jumping over space. I mean, don’t think of the bushes, because you’re not jumping over the bushes. If you think about it wrong, you’re not gonna make it. You just gotta jump... I mean just feel the air. See, it’s like this...Why don’t you do it, man?”
“Ok, I’ll do it”
“See it’s a lot easier than you think, once you do it. I remember when I first did it I didn’t think I could do it either. But now I do it every time”
“Yeah”
“So yeah, man, what were you saying?”
“I think you were telling me what you’ve been learning”
“Yeah. Well, I’ve been moving so fast, everything around me is slowing down. It’s like each day is getting longer than the last one, and I’m taking so much more in... I’ve been trying to tap into that forward moving force, you know...that evolutionary force...like how everything keeps progressing and becoming more advanced as time goes on. I’ve been learning things so fast... Everything just comes to me now.”
“Yeah? Like what kind of things?”
“Well, I’ve been figuring shit out. Figuring out the way things are. I can look at something and understand it now. Like I mean, you can learn a lot from the simplest objects. If something is true it should apply to everything. See that plant over there? You can zoom in on it and see worlds inside it, or you can zoom out and see how it is a speck. I mean you gotta make yourself a microscope and a telescope. Look at shit from all different angles. But if you just look at the plant, you can learn a lot about existence, you know?”
“Yeah, I think I see what you’re saying.”
“You can learn a lot more on your own just by looking at things. Like all the stuff in the system only makes sense within the system. You gotta get out of the system, man. I feel like it’s holding me back- I can learn a lot more from everything that’s around me.”
“So what about college?”
“I mean I’ll go to college. I’ll definitely go to colleges and talk to people, share my ideas. That’s another thing that you’ve gotta do. Nobody shares their ideas these days. They are paranoid that someone will steal them, but you’ve got to share the things you know with others so everyone can know them. You gotta make the people around you better if you want to get anywhere. What’s the point of becoming enlightened if you’re the only one? I mean you might be the first, but if you really get there, then everyone else around you should start to become like how you are too.
“I get what you’re saying, man. People are mainly out for themselves.”
“But I’ve been talking too much about it. The more you talk about it, the less it makes sense. You lose sight of the truth the moment you’ve realized it.”
“But yeah, man. I’m probably gonna be out now.”
“Aight, man, it was good chilling. I’ll see you at school, though.”
