The Art of Becoming

I am here before you a man. A man who has just undergone an awaking within himself, but still just a man.

The entity that you once knew as Robot .21739 is no more.

I am entering into your time-space in a new form, call it evolved, or undone or whatever your mind can muse.

This shell of a being is now called The One that has Been.

Today I realized what I can only describe as the art of becoming.

When two entities enter into a similar realm, such as a human and a tree, there is something that can happen between these two entities that is complete and within itself whole. A simple act of climbing a tree can in some way be seen as a simple example of becoming.

There is a tree and a man below it. The man looks at the tree and ponders about it. “what can I DO with this THING?” so the man places his arm on the branch and gauges a feel of how it bears weight and eventually gives himself enough confidence that this branch will actually support him. So he pulls himself up. This man has never climbed this tree before. The object is forgien to him, yet all the same he is able to pull himself up and sit on that branch that he grabbed onto. How did he do this? He does not know. The tree was there He was there and they just became.

  2. You’ve made me think differently about becoming. Everything i do now is somehow an act of becoming. How do i avoid becoming? I just want it to stop, what do i do?

  3. You can’t avoid it you can only embrace it. Becoming is something that is entirely natural and necessary for the universe to achieve the balance it seeks. Only once you have fully embraced becoming will you know its full potential and realize why it cannot stop. To avoid becoming is to live in fear of the awesome truth of natural progress and that is something truly dangerous.
