Aspiring for the insurmountable – SJBMCPRS Diagnosis


What do we aspire for? Love? Fame? A sense of immortality? Belief? Accomplishment? To create? Greed? Companionship? Acknowledgment? A purpose without a definition that only comes to light with hindsight? To change the world? Absolution? Something that isn’t there? A purpose that defies description and understanding?

The number of possible answers to this question is indefinite for many reasons; with there being a seemingly endless number of human beings that live or have lived in the entirety of “existence”, comes countless perceptions and aspirations that are as unique and ‘different’ as people are diverse. Additionally the notion that nothing is impossible and only seems that way due to limits that can be conquered with determination and dedication, means that people in general may not know what they aspire for or have achieved (or not achieved) without reflection and understanding of the self. If other factors are considered such as differing education, lifespan, understanding, environments, pressure, race, gender, abilities and inabilities and so on, the conclusive answer is kind of inconclusive and that is due to the countless possibilities that are contributed by the fact that the imagination of any one (1) person is potentially unfathomably limitless and thus far too difficult to record for another to analyse. Given the hypothetical example in the previous sentence about just one (1) person’s aspirations and purpose(s) is affected by the numerous factors such as environment, gender, wealth, race and so on, and is then fuelled by that person’s imagination and dedication; just imagine that times by the indefinite number of people that are either living as of the 1st of October, 2015 and the people who have passed away… It is simply a mind boggling thing to behold.

Imagine for example therefore the vast number of accomplishments, aspirations known and not known and effect on the world that might have been if Elvis Presley’s lifespan did not conclude on the 16th of August, 1977. Could Elvis have made more hit songs, appeared more in films, slimmed down and released his own exercise VHS “500 miles across Blueberry Hill”, become president of the United States, fed Osama Bin Laden into a wood-chipper, arrested for sexual assault in the same vein as Rolf Harris, be sent to Space…and so on? The answer is unknown, perhaps unlikely in most counts given the hypothetical examples given in the sentence above, but not ‘impossible’ if his death didn’t happen at the time it did.

As ‘ridiculous’ as the context of this post thus far may be (and possibly depressing for fans to read); there is a point I am striving to imply and that is any given person or being can aspire to anything and everything with the passion, determination, belief, resources, health and so on to drive that person to his or her goal. People and other forms of being such as parrots (for an example) can aspire to any particular objective/goal or many whatever those aspirations/objectives are. So if someone’s sole aspiration/purpose was to listen to one (1) Disney song played on the piano then so be it. If on the other-hand another person’s objectives are to create the largest working microwave and then get a hole-in-one in a game of Golf using a tennis racket as a golf-club and Tiger Wood’s head as a golf-ball and then drown in a vault of milk chocolate then so be it. The examples in the last sentence are incredibly illegal (and I advise no-one actually strives for these exact goals), but not ‘impossible’. Man has been on the Moon on several occasions, Dolly the Sheep became a reality, and in 2005; someone was able to hit Jeremy Clarkson in the face with a pie, so it’s anything is possible as long as it’s possible to turn a work of fiction like a dream into reality.

Unfortunately the same can be said about the worst kind of happenstances that have occurred such as the Holocaust, 9/11, Josef Fritzl imprisoning her daughter for twenty-four (24) years, the death of Baby P, and the deaths of numerous people due to the “influence of media” (and among many other incidents). I’m not implying that the reasons behind the atrocities implied in the previous sentence was because the people involved deliberately aspired to do what they did, whereas influences and happenstances during those moments building up to the atrocity as it is known to the general public may have played a part such as how a form of media can imply that killing people is ‘easy’, it is the far bigger concern that the people committing the implied atrocities had the inability to stop themselves or see what they were doing was ‘wrong’ and violating human rights and endangering themselves and other people. And while there are the atrocities that are brought to people’s attention and create reactions that ‘influence’ changes to make the people in power say: ”we are doing everything we can to ensure that this atrocity will never happen again”; I have the assumption that there are incidents exactly like the atrocities mentioned above or worse that are going on that aren’t being uncovered and stopped. We are our own worst enemy and the levels of horribleness we can achieve runs parallel to the great things we as beings can accomplice.

(I apologise for going off topic in the previous paragraph, but I felt that it had to be mentioned for educating purposes.)The reality is that anyone or any living being can aspire to seemingly anything as long as it is feasible given the level of dedication, resources and so on.

So now if I was to evaluate myself and ask what I aspire for; the answer is clear to me, but unfathomable to the uneducated, it is realistically insurmountable, and perhaps a bitter pill to swallow for others to read. For those who have read my posts on the SJBMCPRS Report; one (1) might be able to highlight the honest expressions of how I perceive myself and the world, and what the facets of SJBMCPRS mean and how they have an effect. Sure there is a mass of complete horse s*** that comes with every post which added together can poison all of the water on Earth and make Rowan Atkinson tether a donkey to his head, …and there are also parts that aren’t easy for readers to understand; but amongst it all I try to be honest and heartfelt because it’s an aspiration of mine to write creatively and be honest about myself towards the people I associate with because I am not very good at speaking in person. And yet is important for me to express myself in some form because it is ‘disastrous’ to associate with me blindly (and by blindly I mean ‘by going ahead without any prior knowledge’) and can lead to more woe.

To sum up how I am then, it would be best for readers to go through the previous posts illustrating the each of the facets of SJBMCPRS because there is a lot to understand, but for those who want a quick summary, I am the ‘World’s Nemesis’; a bizarre self-loathing, easily paranoid and moody pessimist and wonderer and compulsive racialist who relishes in the dark and sinister thoughts, but wears a mask (not literally) to make himself like ‘normal’, but in reality is a three (3) headed Hydra who tries to retain distance and a degree of self-control, but when pushed beyond limits would not be able to prevent a rampage of psychological brutality and demise.

Yes that’s me summarising myself in a quick fashion. It’s not the kind of thing to put into a CV now is it? Like it or not however this is me and this is how I choose to explain myself to family and friends and people I need to associate honestly with because I believe it’s preferable for me not to associate with people and people not to associate with me. I am worse than the Beast in ‘Beauty and the Beast’ for thy claws and fangs have been replaced with teeth and flesh, but underneath there is venom and presence that make titans tremble when angered. Furthermore, unlike the tale of ‘Beauty and the Beast’; there’s no happy ending when it comes to me given my experiences in life and how I’ve understood myself more and more. This is thy world and I alone dwell in the muck filled with phantoms that I am comfortable with. Thou who associate with me must be aware of how I am, and for those who can’t deal with it there is always the opportunity to turn away and run before I: the ‘World’s Nemesis’ send thou down to the spiral of decline.

If one (1) has read and understood the posts that define in detail the facets of SJBMCPRS; then this mat come across as me being overly melancholic. I must assure however that in explaining what it is I aspire for the most which is insurmountable, that this is how I feel and what if it were possible I would aspire for. I may sound like a lunatic or a megalomaniac but I can understand the difference from fantasy and reality which means in the real world I aspire to be a creative writer. In the land of fantasy and fiction however it is quite different and therefore insurmountable, though I will do my best to explain as it is easier then coming up with what I would like for Christmas every year (which by the way is less than a hundred (100) days away…ARGH!!).

For me, my ultimate aspiration would be to exist in a nexus where my existence is erased from the existence which is known as life on Earth completely. Before someone takes this out of context and makes a fuss over the wrong impression; it is not my desire to kill myself or to have my life ended prematurely because ahead of me lies a road of joy and pain that I want to traverse on, and if it means living with the misery and dwelling on the woes caused by my existence then let me wear them like battle-scars as penance for the ‘wrong’ I have committed and alas may yet committing the future. There is however a fictional universe that profoundly intrigues me and that is the nexus of Heavenly Host Elementary School from the Corpse Party series.

To get the best understanding of the fictional universe of Corpse Party that I have implied above, it is necessary to have a firm understanding of the plot and ramifications in the nexus or ‘closed spaces’ of Heavenly Host Elementary School (to do this its best to start with Corpse Party: Blood Covered Repeated Fear (which is available via PC, IOS, PSP, PS Vita, and 3DS (Japan Only (at the moment)). Without gushing other the plot and the events and details; the essence is that should anyone die in Heavenly Host Elementary School, then there are trapped forever reliving the moment of death to the end of time in Heavenly Host Elementary School, while their existence in the real world is completely erased.

Now this may sound like absolute Hell, and if you understand the story and plot of Corpse Party then it would indeed be a form of intolerable hellish torture. It is of course a work of fiction and therefore not to be taken too seriously. It is however the insurmountable aspiration that I would prefer to exist in if it were possible to take something fictional and make it real with all the supernatural and occult traits and dread of being in such an environment. To only exist in a nexus cut-off from the real world means I can’t commit any ‘wrong’ or ‘bad’ to anyone because I wouldn’t exist.

This may sound very, very extreme and a cause for concern, but if I may explain myself as to why this kind of thing appeals to me; it is in my nature to be a much grounded being, and I am comfortable in my own space with no obligations to make me prepare and anxious. I may come across as agoraphobic and have a level of anthropophobia (which may yet be true), but if I were to summarise how I go about a week, I would spend 6/10 of my time by myself, 3/10 with family, and 1/10 with my friends. While this is not an approximate value and events can occur where I spend more time than usual with friends and family than by being by myself; it is what it is and I apologise if this comes across as being selfish or taken the wrong way. The reality is I’m not good with people in general and if I am associating with people for a fair amount of time, I can get agitated when I am not comfortable with the given situation. Additionally while I am willing to help out if friends or family have a question or need me (for whatever reason) to get something done (like ordering something secretly for a family member for Christmas); I cannot put myself in an uncomfortable situation for a long time or be a remedy because someone else can’t manage (this is particularly alienating for me and says about the racialist facet in me when the people who I associate with are adults like me and cannot go about life on their own). While I’m willing to be doing the best I can to do some ‘good’, I am 99% of the time a pessimist who feels unable to be ‘good’ and preferring the company of my own battles and dilemmas in a closed space away from others to prevent potential wrong doing.

That is why the nexus of Heavenly Host Elementary School in the Corpse Party series appeals to me because in that regard I would be shut-off from the real world where I can cause no ‘wrong’ or get agitated by people in general or put in uncomfortable situations. As bad as it may be to feel the moment of death for the rest of time in Heavenly Host Elementary School, especially if the cause of death was due to being pushed off from the top of a stair-case and landing fatally with my ribs shattering upon impact and piercing my lungs instantaneously leading to a slow and very painful demise…I am not a fan of my own life, I despise myself and due to my paranoia; I am painfully aware that I can inadvertently slip on the pavement beside traffic or at the coastal path at the top of Portland, Dorset. As gruesome as death sounds, it is not something I am seeking for; I’m merely wary that death is inevitable and when it happens, it is what it is.

Some people have said that if the insurmountable was possible or if there was any one (1) thing they could have no matter if it wasn’t real; they would have super powers, a means to stop time, go back in time to fix a problem, or do something extraordinary. Others do not know what they would have or would have if the insurmountable was achievable. Me? A space that is cut-off from the rest of the world entirely where I can inhibit willingly would be the one (1) aspiration that is I’m afraid a bit like Shangri-La: a fantasy world that only exists of beings who dream of such.

Does this still come across as overly extreme and concerning, or unclear? If so then I apologise for being unable to be clear enough. It is what it is however and in the end this is only my perception which should not be taken too seriously or out of context or else that would give the wrong impression and place people in unnecessarily dangerous predicaments.

Please be wary and until next time, see ya!
