REFLECTIONS OF A UNIQUE DOPE ENTHUSIAST
Numbness is an exceptionally comfortable experience. It is a state of mind in which there is no agitation, no perturbation, no jostling of discordant vibrations. In this blissful state, external or internal stimuli don't play ping-pong with one's emotions. It is self-absorbing and addictive, this feeling. As it sucks one in with its lyre and as the subject slowly spirals into himself he is drawn further within. After this there is no way out... one does not want to get out. Then pain, no matter of what genre, appears to be a wasteful endeavour; a sort of intrusion into the privacy of self. Turning oneself into this nothingness is the most exhilarating and challenging of human experiences. Once the conciousness experiences this state, the ceaseless innuendo of mundane life becomes a noise that is to be avoided at all cost. Only one compulsion remains and that is to exist in this state of non-existence. The illusion of time and space and all the baggage that gets latched on because of such mental aerobics easily falls away and with a quite firmness, a cleanliness replaces all the clutter. And this clarity which is devoid of all hypocricy is what lends the soul strength.
