There is a Time in our lives when we do everything right.
A moment-moments when we are in the Zone.

When our task-situation has enabled such a state of concentration that our every movement-thought is precise, perfectly Timed. the opponent’s strategy is transparent, our response pre-configured. the Pattern has been revealed. points in Reality have been connected across an infinite distance. in these moments, everything is possible and we know with the clarity of the recently dead that if we reach but a little further Perfection is in our grasp.
Time travel. living the now with certain knowledge of the past and future.
Most Times, the recollection of undreamt possibility is repressed by the care of the moment and the requirements of daily Life. in other Times of quiet introspection recalled suddenly at a seventy miles an hour on an open highway or the rear extended seat of a city bus, the memory-glimpse into and experience of the unbounded parameters of the Zone is vivid enough to radiate crests of constant tension-worry through all aspects of our lives deriving from the certain knowledge that we are not being all that we can during most of our lives.
For me, one of those Times was as a soldier, learning morse code. immersed in code for eight hours a day for three months. a simple task: learn a pattern of dits - dots - and das – dashes - that were letters-numbers arranged in groups of five. ditditdit dadada ditditdit - s.o.s - is a standard in a simple, aural matrix of encrypted data perceived by headphone then input into a single-key messaging instrument delivered by electromagnetic current. at the end of the first month the ditdadaditties resonated-interconnected then entered a cavernous, sub-conscious space where I perceived the underlying pattern of the latticework and immediately progressed to an advanced level of understanding.
But emotional and chemical fogs obscure the moments-details of Life when allowed to. and as we grow older these negative habits coalesce-weaken us in deadly forms: diabetes, heart disease, strokes, aneurisms, cancer and the host of other physical-mental scenarios we choose to manifest in response to the living dilemma. the diffusion of concentration steals away our Lifetimes and the result is that there is little Time to realize our destinies.
The inspiration-actions of others can be modeled successfully. here are some realized souls of recent vintage: tupac shakur, michael jordan, lauren hill, louis armstrong, mother theresa, muhammad ali, cornell west, jeru the damaja, octavia butler, june jordan, rakim, ben carson, basquiat, the dali lama, mos def. all of whom have thinned the barrier separating soul-mind-body to varying opacities and shown a way for others of similar inclination. these people – much like the devout ascetics in religious orders across Time – focus their energy-creative visualization powers on very specific outcomes for a Time, thereby creating their own destiny. their practices reveal the key to the formulation of a certain path to success.
But greater still is the realization that these lives represent the application of Omniversal Law upon each of our individual Lifes. that we also can experience the same or greater rewards with our own dedication of Time, Faith and Devotion.
Other unsettling incidences come to mind. messing with the Ouija board and speaking to a deceased aunt on the night she passed and twelve hours before any family member called to confirm her passing. that 20 second tenor solo at prairie view a&m - jazz band - the setup shot for Roger’s game-winning brick in the semi-final game of the league basketball championship, senior year. jumping 6’5 later that year to make 3rd in state in the high jump. the experiments with oobes, lucid dreaming and sleep-paralysis. Emotional-mental states achieved by the practice of Yoga. a personal moment or moments that mark Time in lives of change.
Life isn’t what the clichéd pray-say that it is but know that it is not. even corporations-government agencies practice African sciences in the form of Vodun. real live Orishas in digital flesh. their primal screams are composed of reassembled airwaves-satellite spirit transmissions that beat a zombie track upon our eardrums.
There is more to Life than we dare dream. and some Blessed Souls live their lives vividly; wide-awake and utterly conscious of each precious moment; recognizing and bearing witness to the font of Creativity itself; thinking hierarchically, laterally, physically conditioned by stringent diet and mental control to a loving and ethical spiritual austerity. this is the reality behind that little peek the rest of us get those Times we’re in the Zone. just think of what it would be like to live Life like that. talk about intense.
The movies hint at it. triple xxx, star wars, the matrix, apocalypse now, terminator, event horizon, die hard and every other movie where the heroine defied death and beat the odds through a combination of divine chance, skill and intuition. they are living archetypes of what we all know we can do-be when-if we so chose to.
Heros. every day of the week.
Concentration and focus of desire results in the manifestation of all realized goals. the metaphysical science that engineers rises of these types is shared by ancient religions, modern sects, new age pop culture, afrocentric spiritual movements, organizational brotherhoods, governmental organizations and corporate bodies. the degree of success is appropriate to the proper respect for one of the Omniversal Laws:
As Above, So Below.
The Memory of these adventures in Time awaken the state of Clarity. a window into a Timeless state where the mental-physical recreation of a State of Being sends us. where the Archetypes live. jung called this place the collective unconscious. when we think about them, we can feel them again - find the Door - and recreate them at that moment in that space for the task-situation that we may currently be living.
We are all Time Travelers. accessing the Archetype of a moment, an emotion, an action, condition, mental state, intellectual capacity or spiritual reality takes us outside of Time and into the realm of the Omniversal Mind. Close attendance to its Laws is mandatory for successful living.

"...live their lives vividly; wide-awake and utterly conscious of each precious moment;"

Then spend 15 or more minutes searching for their pen or eye-glasses!?

"...jung called this place the collective unconscious."

This I goes there during zazen (meditation)... conscious again at the 'ding' of the bell.

Jung also wrote that the mass of mankind is still unconsciously conscious--or consciously unconscious--(I coined "demiconscious" for that psychic "stagnalemate"), and he implied, at least, that the Consciousness (the Zone) you write about may be an (the ?) evolutionary goal of our Omniversal Mind, our living Miracle.

This "review it" is to let you know that another mind levelstands your composition.

Remeber? Remember? "Ben's best bent wire"?
