Don't Forget Your Horns

A Hat With Horns on it

A note on the evils

You are a combination of all of your experiences, covered with the veil of perspective. Your mind may neglect some of the experiences, unable to find a comfortable place for them to sit inside your worldview. 

These are the most important memories to keep at the forefront. We, the brave few, spelunk into the depths of our own subconscious to draw out these pain points and wear them on our sleeves as a badge of honor and shame simultaneously.

These are our Ghosts.

By extracting and classifying these moments of great uncertainty, disgust, or shame, we become something better than them. We become a being of self-understanding. We find these moments of personal failure and say “this is what it was! This is what is driving my _________!” (insert: drinking, smoking, gambling, lust, sloth, nihilism, narcissism, prejudice, hatred, or other fear response). 

These problems are your horns. They are the bugs in your psyche which you cannot let become features. They are the thorn in your shoe of which the cut has scarred over, but will begin to heal the moment it is removed. 

Do not forget where you got your horns.

Do not forget the feeling of living with horns.

Don't forget your horns 

Don’t forget your horns

Don’t forget your horns

Don’t forget your horns

Don’t forget your horns

Don’t forget your horns

Don’t forget your horns

You may find yourself having let go of some set of horns, approaching tomorrow with a new lease on life. You will feel lighter. Your breath will feel deeper. Your smile may arise more easily. You may feel like you have been pulled from the depths of doubt and wish to be seen for what you are now. 

You will wish to be brave, to gift your newfound strength to the masses, to live within the shared light of the human experience, to open your arms wide and accept what comes to you. You will have the drive to commit to something larger than yourself. Something which can change the world to a greater degree than you could ever do with just two hands. 

This state is Gaba. 

You will have to fight everything inside of you to stay inside the GABA state. It will feel like you need to jump. It will feel like your skin is on fire. It will feel like the air freezes your lungs. It will feel like you’re on the edge of a knife trying not to fall. You must do whatever it takes to make this state as consistent as possible.
