After Reading the definition of sublime My mind started to make connections to the endless applications that a word such as this can be used to convey so much more when staring into a vast void. Each and every day holds the possibility Of mental elevation, and the ability to discover more about ourselves by casting our fears. Buddhist Monks strive to achieve sublimation through constant meditation. Sometimes sitting still for extended periods of time, as well as the study of martial arts. Since we are engulfed in the literary world we choose attempting this ride on the escalator by translating word and converting it into a dream scape, allowing us to develop or create a zone of epiphany. 
When an idea is seeded in our minds, our bodies tend to conjure up a manifestation yet to be named. Once that glimmer of understanding of notion is grasped, our brain grabs hold of this malleable substance and begins sculpting a vision in which we desperately try to explain on paper. Leaving only a piece for others to confusingly comprehend. causing a serge or arc of lightning to spark a newer and ever changing sense of reality. In essence, or minds are heated up, subliming into a vaporous state, only to solidify after cooling down!
