The duration of one Spirit-Oscillation is suitably the length of one perceived human moment. Unnoticed by time-governed investigative controls, Spirit-Oscillations occur in units of perceptual experience by an alerting or alerted permutation of the Soul: a conscious subject engaging a temporal existence. Great thinkers characterize the Spirit-Oscillation as a, “Cout-de-ta of the quieter mind”, poets of heightened emotional cognizance give it form as the union of misery and joy, and Olympians, though indirectly, endure its phases through dissipating degrees of corporeal innovation, per ardua ad astra. Rarely seen by mental faculties outside of human retrospection, the Spirit-Oscillation is damningly elusive, as it is comprised of a multitude of micro-oscillations, instantaneously attacking and decaying within minor periods of the major cycle. Even when alerting to only a slim, shadowy draft of one Micro-Oscillation at the moment of its emanation, though wholly immobilized, the fortunate host is mystically rocketed from whatever entrusted reality and transported to the odd soil of a curious world, to be reassembled as a creature of cosmic intuition and knowledge of things to come. Temporally, we are to be alert. Spirit-Oscillations are erupting all around us! Taking place concurrently, attacking and decaying in the chasm of The Panging Thought, in the trench of The Stitching Word. Witness its infant breath! Search out the yellow glimmer hidden behind its munificent fangs! Perhaps we may only pray to mine the residue from a tooth of a lesser cog in a greater Spirit-Oscillation. Well, so be it! We consider the human life. We are quick to embrace the counsel of dull mystics and lonely seers, might we be the propitious omens who, returning to our families, to our dear, indispensable friends, might we find that, having glimpsed the sight, we are in love with one another more deeply and effectively. Though we do not claim dominion over breath, we may cover our mouths and walk freely through the flames.
