I Am a Mueseum

[Puer Aeternus]

A personal metaphor for what has emerged after lots of healing. A new stage.

 

I am a museum. 

 

A labyrinth of artifacts with certain selected items open to viewing by the public. Many things though are tucked away in hidden, private rooms, which only I know the path to. 

 

These rooms contain priceless, invaluable gifts. Gifts that are locked in a thick, reinforced glass casing. Their secrecy maintained because the public would misunderstand them. It would be a great tragedy for them to damage these objects through ignorance or anger.

 

Only with time and gained trust, may frequently visiting patrons with proven refined taste be guided down the secret pathways to admire these treasures through the glass. For even fewer, will I unlock the casing and let them in to hold my most valued gifts in their hand, to directly experience their beauty and power. 

 

These rooms are not sealed shut like a tomb, with an intention that they never be opened. There is always potential for them to be opened. Rather, they are protected by secrecy, locks, and my own selective discretion.

 

Now, I am the sole caretaker for my museum. Caring for it with love, recognizing it's value, and protecting it is solely my responsibility. 

 

Willing and respectful volunteers may help with upkeep. However, the nature of these volunteers is transient. They have other responsibilities and are not tied as closely to it as me. Reliance on them will lead to the decay and disrepair of my museum. I must not be tempted by illusions, I will must maintain my responsibility.

I call everything that can be know in form an "artifacts within consciousness". I like that you also discovered your inner self containing artifacts. Trauma, love, memories are all artifacts.

What a fun coincidence, it really is a revelation. Inside me, so many sensations and characters. And there's plenty more artifacts to be excavated!
