The Fifth Element

What is the fifth element? First we must look at what the current four elements are: air, earth, water, and fire. The fifth element supposedly brings the four together, allows to see how beautifully interwoven everything and everyone is with all and nothing. Some people believe they have found it, some people believe it doesn't exist. But others, without even realizing it, are already closer to the answer of this philosophical question that has spanned the ages.

I picture the world as a teeter totter, a little childish in analogy, but i believe the simpler things are, the deeper the meaning might actually be. Hidden jem's of life I call em, and they are so beautiful to realize exist, if you can open your eyes to perceive them. But the teeter totter, yeah, the teeter totter. Imagine it, extreme opposites of the universe constantly pulling each other by the great puppet conductor. It is a swing, a dance, a waltz if you will, with a rhythm to it, because we have made it that way. 

And maybe that analogy should be a little childish because that's the way we act in today's society. You can try and pitch it differently, sugarcoat it with your high fructose corn syrup on your valium formula. We're the most advanced race our known universe has ever seen, yet we still kill ourselves, others, our earth, our minds, our souls, our morals, and everything. in fact, we gloat and celebrate idiocracy, and everyone who is intelligent is a nerd, who loves peace is a f****t, who hates war is unpatriotic, something, something, labeled this, labeled that. No one person is just one thing, and if you are, you are a hollow shell of a person dragging on aimlessly through existence, drifting through the abstract. 

A no label person, one who practices balance between the many facades and situations and variables of life, is one who can control the teeter totter, because they have no use for it anymore. it's only there for a temporary relapse, to go back to the ways of old with a huge revelation afterwards of " holy f**k, that was s****y s**t the way i was acting, i gotta go back to new me, bye old me." 

is this the fifth element? balance? does this help us experience the aesthetic, the unseen but there, the abstract of the universe? i do not know. but i believe it is the key to obtaining it. some people call it god or religion or music or something. whatever positive thing you can believe in that helps you and helps others might be it. it's all positive energy, returning, for energy does not disappear, just transference between objects, swallowing the universe if we let it.

Perception, judgement, anger, hate, deception, greed, death, evil. All things that must be eliminated from our present in order to have us be the evolved race that we were destined to be in the future. When we get the idea in our head that this IS a reality, that war is not inevitable, that there is good in people if we allow them to be good, that's when true human progression will begin. when separation of church and state is irrelevant, when freedom will truly mean free, not just free to do what you are told. When children no longer have to live in fear of their fathers coming home to beat them, leave them, deceive them, mistreat them. 

The children are the future, and we will teach the future. Do we want to repeat the same mistakes that have made this teeter totter game benefit the pockets of the 1% of the world who wins in this endless gunfight, or will be break the cycle, start the change with us, start to evolve manually?
