Conscious Beings

I’ve been having some really crazy ideas for a future story entitled Conscious Beings.  Let me share.  I want to create something that’s never really been done before.  Not that I know of at least.  Ideas of consciousness, becoming aware, questioning my thoughts, beliefs, questioning others beliefs, studying consciousness, trying the belief system that I am consciousness itself have all been apart of my recent daily happenings.  I feel so different these days.  This past week my heart was hurting so much, but in a really good way.  Back to my ideas…

I want to create something auditory, visual, written, all into one cohesive piece.  In a sense, think of it as using your imagination as if you were a child again.  The audio will be something of the nature of a meditation, self-help podcast.  But I also want to integrate really awesome music.  So it’s like you’re watching a movie with your eyes closed.  So, you know how when you watch a movie and close your eyes for a second your hearing sense is heightened?  That’s essentially what I want to do with this part.  You are in a deeply relaxed mood.  Where you can explore your imagination filtered through the story, much like when you listen to a piece of music.  The audio isn’t necessarily meant to raise your consciousness or anything.  I don’t have the power to do that auditorily (although I wish I did).  I would say the actual story is meant to do that.  Or the story is sort of about that.  Being a conscious being.  Identifying with consciousness itself not your mind or your body.  If you want to learn more about this, just read steve pavlina or study Buddha.  So the audio will be in the vein of a self-help tape mixed with song to inflict emotional manipulation.  Don’t worry, it’s a good thing.  My friend ben told me all good songs are emotionally manipulating.  I agree with him.  Look at any piece of art, in any medium, and the ones you love are the ones that strike a chord with you.

The written will be the story more or less.  I don’t know exactly how I’ll do this but I have some ideas.  One idea is to simply write the story as I see it.  Not sure if it’ll be in a children’s book format which would be kind of cool actually, or more novel-y.  So when you read and listen it inflicts even more emotion out of you.  Not sure how this will work with timing and everything.  Maybe I could just write the audio.  So it’s like a book on tape.  That actually sounds like a good idea to me.  The drawings will be however I envision the story to be played out.  It’s more of like a guideline to let you see how I view things.

Anyways, I’m excited about these ideas because it sounds like something new.
