Soul unleashed

–warning! Enormous, boring and incomprehensible text ahead–

Are you trapped into your brain-device?

I love experimenting with more direct approaches to inner-self. Things I recall, soul wounds, personal nightmares and desires are all trapped inside this mysterious brain-device located on my highest place I obviously call ‘the head’. I also love the notion of the other (if not the same) soul-device which lacks physical form but I feel its presence in various places like my spine or deep in my chest marking my every move with flowing energy I call ‘the emotion’.

Those are my tools. I can unlock distant or create never existed kingdoms using these powers. I can express a wide range of emotions using drawings, imagery, music and words but still I could not unlock the full potential of my powers.

That pisses me off!

The trouble lies within you

tide_up_with_some_title_by_raphaelclass.jpgConsuming valuable time wondering why, does not work, as my I.Q. rates are not above the ones of an average man (that was a hard one to admit). I am unable to find solutions to complicated or philosophical questions and I’m getting so mad about it I can’t even think straight.

I’m open to feelings though. And what I felt during my expressive writing sessions is easy to describe: Imprisoned.

I got imprisoned by my own devices. My ethics, aesthetics and my mother tongue. Condemned to speak the same words over and over, usually afraid of using them to dig into my own psyche.

There is one thing that can go very wrong when using your mother tongue. You get so overwhelmed by the vastness of meanings -which is almost a good thing in many cases- that you scare the shit out of your soul-device, which feels weak and too exposed to cooperate.

Moving outside the troubled soul

And this is my experiment: Using a language other from the mother-tongue transfers the main point of view to a place outside of the inner self and maybe further (like a building at the other side of town), making it easier to express deeper thoughts and emotions which in your surprise you haven’t actually experienced into this text yet!

captured_by_dannidoll.jpgThe proper use of the language is of no importance to this experiment. The desirable outcome is to unleash the soul-device and bring the human side confronting the godly side of the self in equal terms.

Maybe this is another way of talking bullshit in a different language and don’t have to feel guilty about it.

Maybe it’s a heavenly way to be inspired and doodle little purple diamonds on a piece of paper and most of all you can seriously cause damage to your mother-tongue-readers by making them switching brain sides like crazy. And that is exactly the point. The meanings can be magically transformed in this wisely built language while the writer can have the (false) notion of hiding his/her meanings as well as feeling a sense of accomplishment through the use of a second language for thought-digging and inner-talking rather than formal letters and unrealistic, soulless and spineless texts of New York’s daily financial press.

Lack of conclusion

Dear readers,

If you’ve reached the end of this psychic unbalanced text you are so loyal and brave that I’m almost afraid of you!

Your lack of comments will not mark the end of this experiment (OK, I lied. Good feedback always helps experiments) and please, for God’s sake do not judge my English because If I ever get the chance I will judge yours and I can be really ruthless! (Again this is not the point).

And what is the point? I enjoyed writing this (my opinion-specific-writings in Greek look quite ridiculous anyway).

After all, my home is my castle, and my blog is my playground!

– end of alert and possible end of the experiment –

Want a song with that?

    Fuckin’ a, doc ;)

    Well.. here I am, just another pissed off, imprisoned earthling :D
    I think I know what you mean and I find your idea super genius.. ok, ok, (put your gun down) let’s just say.. super interesting!

    I love experiments, mainly cause, whearas in maths 1 plus 1 equals ‘two’, in life it’s quite possible you’ll come across the fact that
    1 plus 1 equals.. ‘blue’!
    Not to mention that during the last couple of months,
    expressing my deeper thoughts and emotions has been
    a real fuckin’ pain in the ass (pardon my french)!
    So I’m going to give it a shot.
    It’s on my ‘to do’ list for the weekend.

    ps1: I wonder how interesting it can be talking bullshit in spanish..
    see, it’s been a while :P

    ps2: always want a song! One from me too..

    ps3: If you don’t ever hear from me again, please consider that the outcome of the experiment was a huge, mushroom-shaped success, that sounded something like.. KA-BOOM!

    ps4: You did great.

    :)

    αυτό κι αν είναι έκπληξη!
    δεν φανταζόμουν ότι γράφοντας σε μια άλλη γλώσσα
    μπορεί να έχει ένα τόσο διαφορετικό αποτέλεσμα στο ύφος…
    μέχρι την τελευταία γραμμή θα ορκιζόμουν ότι αποκλείεται
    να είσαι εσύ που έχεις γράψει αυτό το κείμενο!
    εντυπωσιακό…

    well, the point is that u can get deeper and darker only if u chose a language u can “play” well with. And i Give u that, definitely!

    and some food for thought: i would like to read more like this..

    I am under the impression that this feeling applys not only to you (been there, done that, it was awsome)

    Ο καθένας και το μονοπάτι του …
    που τελικά μάλλον μας επιλέγει, παρά το επιλέγουμε.
    Τυχερός όποιος καταφέρνει να βγεί από το πλαίσιο που του έχει ορισθεί, και να παραμείνει εκτός.
    Εύχομαι εσύ να επιτύχεις :)

  5. Vassia Λέει:

    Θυμάμαι όταν διδασκόμουν την αγγλική γλώσσα, η καθηγήτρια μας έλεγε όταν επρόκειτο να γράψουμε έκθεση, Think in English!

    Δεν είναι τόσο εύκολο.

    Το να γράφεις για τα αισθήματα σου, να αναλύσεις τα ενδότερα της ψυχής σου, όχι στην δική σου mother tongue, είναι δύσκολο.

    Και φίλε μου Dr Uqbar εσύ μάλλον τι κατάφερες.

    :-)

  6. Vassia Λέει:

    διόρθωση: το κατάφερες! (όχι τι)
    :-)

    αυτη η προταση ειναι καθαρα dr-uqbar-ιστικη “After all, my home is my castle, and my blog is my playground!”

    Γιατρε μου, πολυ καλα τα πειραματα ,μην συνηθισεις ωστοσο να γραφεις στην αγγλικην και μετα τα ελληνικη αριστουργηματα σου κανουμε καιρο να τα ματαδουμε, ναι?

    Dear Dr Strange,
    I think your experiment has gone wild… but successfully so.
    Native language is, to my oponion, used best to express the familiar stuff within the consious soul - the so called psyche.
    Aberration from this may bring up new, unfamiliar sides or ideas. I used to do so in my Diary days, when I wanted to express a non familiar point of view or something that conflicted the personal ethics, or even something bold (e.g. I love her). By all means I suggest this aberration as a means of expanding one’s own limits. And most certainly I think of you as one that would make use of such a practice.
    Not so incomprenhensible your text, is it?
    ;)

    όντως υπάρχουν πλεονεκτήματα στη χρήση μιας language other than the mother tongue. μήπως να το κάνω κι εγώ; αρχίζω να το σκέφτομαι σοβαρά…

  11. dr.Uqbar Λέει:

    @Αννίτα
    I’m still standing speechless!
    Oh God! I’ve created a monster!!!

    very good, but not in Spanish please…
    thanks for the track!

    @dreamerland
    Είχε τελικά…
    Και όταν το καταλάβεις πας και το εκμεταλλεύεσαι στο έπακρο.
    Δεν ξέρω πόσο καλό είναι αυτό!

    @lifewhispers
    More like this?
    You got that.(Especially if you’ve been there!)

    @Mrs Smith
    Τα πλαίσια είναι για αυτήν ακριβώς τη δουλειά.
    Και είναι για όλους ;)

    @Vassia
    Είναι δύσκολο μα καθ’ότι αμερικανάκια….δυσκολότερο γίνεται στα Ελλήνικος!
    Να σαι καλά…

    @alicia
    Doesn’t matter ’bout my English!
    Δε θα το κάνω και συνήθεια!
    uqbar-ιστικη έκφραση; Υπάρχει κάτι τέτοιο;;;

    @Sadmanivo
    The whole thing has gone wild (but that’s another story)

    I’m glad you took the time and got my point. I’m happier ’cause you will take it a step ahead!
    thnx ;)

    @markosthegnostic
    Αρχίζω να φαντάζομαι ήδη την ποίηση σου μεταφρασμένη…

    go on!
