Someone who is essentially tired of the thoughts that float around has to decide on staying back. Allowing them to flow otherwise, because there is no mechanism to create a colossal obstruction to stop their progress.

It is intriguing that such incessant flow of regressive thoughts are not … Continue reading Observing from a Distance
The perceived minuscule thoughts crawl across the vast existence through continuously transforming reality. They are composed of eternal ideas, as well as, those absorbed along the interstellar travels. This planet cloaked with another consciousness, full of pure energy, is considered a mysterious metaphysical reality; maybe, they do not have much scope of being discussed as it can lead to a fracas over a philosophy that … Continue reading Perceptions and More
