How To Become a Looner

You don’t need a visa or passport to enter the Loony World and become a loony citizen, or in other words, a Looner. All you need to do is take a good look at yourself in the mirror and see what you’re missing in you. What skills are you lacking? What strengths are you lacking? What weaknesses you want to rid yourself of? What have you always wished to be in life? What do you want to be now? Where do you want to go? What do you want to achieve? The answers to all these questions can be found in your loony side, because once you’re in the loony state, all your deficiencies will no longer be deficiencies. Simply put, you’ll be complete. To unleash your loony side, you must follow these 3 steps:

Step 1: Close your eyes! Wherever you are in the real world, find a place to sit back and relax. Close your eyes. I swear I’m not going to pull a practical joke on you. Trust me, just close your eyes. I know once you close your eyes you can’t see anything! It’s dark. But hey, you’re on your way to a dark side and you can’t go on to Step 2 if you don’t close your eyes! So, eyes closed? Shall we move on? Good. Count down from 10. 10…..9…..8…..7…..6…..5……4…..3…..2…..1….  

  

Step 2: Imagine! This is the most important and crucial step. Remember your deficiencies? Well, now is your time to imagine yourself with no deficiencies. Imagine yourself as you want to be, for example stronger, or more confident, or less of a control freak, or any personality trait that you want in yourself. Combine all those personality traits that you want in yourself to become a complete looner! Similarly, imagine the loony world surrounding you. Imagine a vast, beautiful, mystical and serene landscape. It’s a dark world, so it’s usually evening or night time. No daylight, you ask? Well, don’t you get enough bright, sunshine in the real world?! And no, we’re not like vampires who just die when coming into contact with blinding sunlight. It’s just that from our experiences in the real world, the times of dawn, dusk, and midnight are the most peaceful times throughout the entire day. And speaking of time, time will never run out in the loony world. Yeah, so leave your daily planner at home! Usually the time starts at dawn, then goes on to dusk, then on to midnight, then ultimately back to dawn again and the loop continues in a momentary time lapse. Pretty cool, huh? The skies around you are filled with constellations upon constellations of stars. You can see shooting stars shooting their way across the sky. On top of all that, you can see auroras or the Northern Lights, much like you see back home in North Canada and Alaska, giving you a magical display of colors you’ve never seen before! Well, I guess I’ve described the basic structure of the loony world. You are free to add more objects and sceneries as you please to make your stay more relaxing and comfortable. The more, the merrier! We’ll keep discussing more about latest additions to our loony world in the series, “Loonimagination”. Up till now, you know who you are and where you are. Now, you need to know what to do. So what do you want to do now as you stand here in the loony land? Do whatever the heck you want! Yes, you are free to do whatever you want as long as it’s not an evil scheme to destroy the loony world or hurt fellow looners. The Loony Planet will not tolerate any form of evil or wrongdoing and when you’re caught performing evil acts, you will immediately be deported back to the real world. My advice to you is to explore the endless terrain of the Loony World and keep discovering! I can’t even describe to you the depth of what this loony land has to offer! So, you’re all set? Let’s keep discovering!

Step 3: Let go! Yes, once you’ve settled in the loony world, let go of everything in the real world. Let go of all your problems and issues. Let go of all your bad memories. Let go of your wasted past. Let go of all the mean and nasty people who find pleasure in making your life miserable. Let go of all the hate, the injustice, the inequality, the crimes, the disasters, and the cruelty of the real world! Just let go of it all! Nothing must have you pre-occupied from the real world. You must have no burdens. Leave all your troubles behind! Yes, you can leave it all behind! You can do it! And once you’ve done it, it is a great honor for me to give you a warm welcome to the Loony World!

Congratulations! You are now officially a Looner! A word of caution: do not let the people of the real world discover your loony identity, as most people of the real world cannot tolerate the dark side! If you feel someone is qualified enough to become a Looner, you are free to teach him/her how to become a Looner and ultimately welcome him/her to the Loony World!
