“READING”

What is reading other than sliding your eyes across pages gathering words, sentences and alike that is information, and occasionaly reading between the lines to let’s say be educated. There are few theories we all know very well like fast reading and close reading. But reading, what is real reading in exploring literature as art and science and doctrine. What kind of expirience ? I wrote a flash fiction story of the psychedelic reading experience – where while you as a reader go through the text and at same point (if you are already well read) your mind shatters, but to what? Pieces? Mosaics? Kalaidescopic something? – To put it simply it shatters out of a blow of too much information to something we call traumatic memory a type of memory where we mostly can only asociate ( whether we had real trauma or not in life ) – Why only asociate and how long it lasts? Because our concentration took a blow and we lost the capability of so to speak memorising a chapter in one go and alike – the reading process becomes slower and harder but understanding of the texts becomes of the intertextual type, in the meaning of depth and wide ranges of connections in the implementing of the text in the literary structure and society and it’s parts all together. Lasts probably long time till we as readers gather the shattered memory in by aquireing new concentration which mostly ends up to be gathered in one singuar point ( in the brain mostly the DNN) and while we work and do literature further it explodes to a new reading capability where the whole of mind is engaged in the process – by that time when we reach this level of mind we already have analitical and critical thinking capabilities very well developed and we could by the means of it sharpness and freshness call it a whole mind. I myself did a experiment of reading. Where you start just by watching the page, ‘till something appears – words, pictures, shapes, intervals, that is codes, interpunction, lines, rizoms – just watching. Then it came just to chose one ( even if it’s numbers ) and read then chronologicaly one by one. But nowdays the text is drunk and eaten- oraly consumed and by hearing – but the society is tired – so we started, some of us – to drink it and eat with everything – our whole bodies – and you know I did that and was blown with tiredness anyway – we are fed up. So I proposed breathing in the text, anyhow we could, like our life depends on it ( like on air ). And it happnes by the conclusion of the experiment, if all is text than text is all around us to be breathed in. So breathe in people, you lungs need fresh air.
