Below is the auto-generated subtitle text of the video:

good [Music] when i am driving lost in my own thoughts my mind wanders though i'm moving from location to location something takes over and i find it's not really me driving anymore a kind of meditative spell comes over me in this state my mind begins moving far beyond the confines of my vehicle can you sit still and gather your thoughts are you able to remain unmoving in your mind as your body lies inert or are you like me the more i struggle to calm my thoughts the more i am pulled in different directions as if there was a me inside of me separate from the body that hasn't moved what is this pull toward ideas concepts and thoughts that i know that are not my own i still but the tempest in my mind struggles to more itself to something familiar when you close your eyes who are you i am free of this avatar albeit temporarily when i close my eyes my attention can't seem to focus on any one thing i am immersed within a thought field a quantum medium that saturates me in waves or is it particles enter the pendulum state the imagery and information that passes through my mind is invasive and the sensation that my soul is moving wars against the realization that the thought field is what is moving and pummeling me with these thoughts the sight behind my eyes then sees that there is no unknowns only and i don't know i can find no secrets unreachable only i see those who refuse to reach there is no darkness only there are those who've lost their light at the end of my journey i grew tired the world had lost its spark this dungeon of the dim i urge was no longer a place i sought to stay and when i made up my mind that it was time to go loki laughed at me my eyes shut i cannot control the sensation of being unborn i fall overboard as odysseus sails onward unaware of his loss i sink into the wine dark sea to the sea bottom where the half-buried ruins of long-forgotten civilizations lie in silent timelessness i am swept in currents and opened my mind to behold murids these daughters of the sea flowing herring locks eyes of pearl and barrel suddenly i gasp sucking in the burning air of the smoldering troy as a shadow appears in the sun and i watch as a man falls from the sky trailing feathers i think of the mighty phoenix but i see daedalus instead as he passes over to the other side i can't be still i cannot control this wandering what is this power over me that pulls me in one direction but drags me back into another for a still moment a clarity sweeps over my being but alas it vanishes the inside me had almost become aware that it was separate from the outside me but the norns cast forth their light and i returned to my cave a shadow sitting with others on the wall what is this incessant feeling why can't i remain still what sorcery has medusa seen that my thoughts petrify into fears and doubt in my mind i am a hathor and hecate the hunter and huntress i swim these mental currents and stop at the pools to peer at my reflections but see only a serpent of flame and a seraph on fire i gasped finding myself as the wicker man set on fire before a crowd of soulless husks who screamed for my death in panic i summoned the samson in me and escape the wicker pillars before fleeing into the cave of the sybil but she shakes her finger and tilts her smoke-filled lips as dante escorts me out the door i stumble out into the light to see hephae's holding an ancient clock its sigils being the events of my life he showed me the hour of my soul and i ran my feet hit the track and the sea of faceless heads roared as i passed apollo in a footrace on the olympiad apollyon and i passed hissyad and theognus as aristophany slowed to catch a bird in homer let us pass laughing hardly which unnerved me but his humor passed me in the form of achilles whose heels beat us all so i pulled to the side to catch my breath and was surrounded by egyptians from the old kingdom they pushed unfamiliar objects into my mouth i tried to struggle but wrappings held me fast a cocoon as i was lowered into a coffin the wind swept me across a vast sea in the north i landed among a strange people as their leader laughed loki took me to a forbidden bridge and we visited igrasil this mighty tree called mount merrell in another world it was there i saw the door trimmed in elves knob of the anvil an inlaid with a great hammer beautiful valkyries gaze down at me with interest i read the runes and stepped toward this valhalla but was instantly distracted by a hauntingly deep music little people marched and i fell in among them our band growing in numbers as we followed a piper to the wall where i fell in among the shadows surrounded by shadows in a dark wall they all believed was home at bifrost i stood before loki and we laughed for he made me to understand the designs of his webs how he tricked the overseer he broke the seals and unleashed ragnarok once the halls of valhalla blew the horns welcoming warriors bards and valkyries to shed their disguises as the midgard serpent howled and so i saw the future by looking at the past and realized that a vision is but a memory intact my understanding opened so i looked upon my guide but the trickster only smiled as the norms laughed at the sky on the wings of this laughter i rode upon the back of a sheriff and i did fly i flew upon the wings of the wind and saw the marvels of deathless this machinery of the sky to the labyrinth of the minotaur the horned one roared knowing i knew the designs of deceit and this rage melted the wax of my wings and i fell from the sky as a chorus i splashed into the northern sea and joined a band of geets in the dens of grendel i did what hrothgar could not do with an artifact upon the wall i slew the beast that sent kings running and the distant sons of my son's sons called me beowulf the ski on a cigarette the giant slayer and others called me bilgamesh when i traveled far to reach the home of the napishtim and to learn of this plant of eternal life but near ruiz told me of the fleece and as jason i navigated the unknown seas to the 12 mansions with my trusted argonauts to find a golden sign and bring meaning to my life but i've fallen overboard the ship of fools to plunge into a sea of sharks but i am not food for the wicked and will not cringe before cracking i float onward in a current that propels me through this abyss the silent ruin of an unknown atlantis passing away beneath me the deep keeping hold of its dead and floating through this wine dark sea i still heard loki laugh in sinking into the black abyss i suddenly blinked in the sunlit glen amidst an ancient haunt the secrets of kyre she of the old celts did i possess i was tellison the blood of god listening in wrapped silence in the hidden road for i do not vouch shape my secrets to slaves in me they saw warlock my spells do shatter the scales on blinded eyes encircled by enemies who dare not trespass this holy ground that surrounds my feet a terrible guard whose paths had not known peace as i played conan hacking my way across the waste of samarkand aladdin searching for a lamp in the depths of my mindscape i run beside spartacus as we escape the structured madness joining with perseus and rescuing those chained to rocks they have fallen victim to as they hid from their krakens and in the evening campfire i am ovid seeing in nature a poem that was waiting for a pen i sit in silence with monks adepts and sages and opened my eyes to see the buddha offer me a smile i sit in this van moving traveling from coordinate to coordinate within an avatar whose mind has gone another way within the confines of my mind i travel there is no end to the pool this tug of war that won't let me concentrate it is when i am moving that i am most alive when i sit still it is something that strives to move me but i see the weakness of this dungeon the gate that can't be shut i smile at this riddle that is ragnaro and await the horns that usher in thereafter when the mask of loki is removed as the heavens echo with the trickster's laughter in both the description box and the comment section below you will find my personal email ask me any
