11. Existential Becoming

Reflections on The Way of The Outsider 

by Monde Mdodana



The Moment of Creation is every moment or the Moment of Creation is Existential Becoming. That is, if an Individual makes a Choice to be x instead of y at Moment A, then he has to make that Choice again at Moment B in order to remain x. He has to Become x, because x is not his essence; his essence is to Choose. That is, if he wants to be x, then he has to Create x out of him-self, every Moment of his life! And so it comes about that every man Becomes the sum of the Choices that he makes. But, as long as long as he is still alive, we can not underline the problem. So because, as long as he still lives, he still has the power to make additions or subtractions to the sum which is him-Self.


Existential becoming is a terrible concept. If you are strong, honest and brave enough to understand it, then it cannot but condemn you to Fear and Trembling. When one grasps this concept, intellectually and Spiritually, then one becomes a battleground for the conflict between the dynamic nature of Existence and the static nature of philosophical, moral and religious systems that claim to explain and demystify Existence. Philosophical, moral and religious systems are fixed symbols that attempt to represent Existence, but Existence is spontaneous, dynamic Energy or Spirit, infinitely Mysterious!

Foggy Road (lyrics)

by Burning Spear

My way is long, but the road is foggy,
My way is long, so long, but the road is foggy, foggy.

My head never swell, my heart never leap,
I never have no fear from within.
My head never swell my heart never leap,
I never no fear within.
Even though the road is so so foggy, foggy yeah,
Can hardly see, Jah Jah is my eyesight.
Be with I, be with I, be with I Jah Jah!
Jah Jah be with I, I and I and I and I!
Deh an' dem hate I, deh an' dem fight against I.
Some of them judge I wrongfully,
But never mind my Brother I will go on.

The road is foggy, foggy,
The road is foggy, foggy.

Guidance be with I and I, going out and coming in
From all the evil things and evil doers everyday,
This accident include

The road is so foggy, the road is so foggy, foggy.
So foggy.

No more stumbling by,
No more stumbling by.
Forward my Brother, go forward,
Even though the road is foggy, foggy.
I and I will never turn back.
Not turning back will I.
The road is so foggy, foggy.
The road is foggy, foggy.
