Antithesis by themefinland

Antithesis

Drawn in yesterdays stream. Here is also some background story for this:

"As it appeared before me I it spoke in hundreds of different languages and in none at all at the same time. I could understand all of them, yet I couldn't comprehend any of it. The voice shifted from the harshest of static to the most soothing of melodies. Transitions between them happening so suddenly I couldn't even notice, know or remember when one had happened. The flood of information maddening, one could understand everything, yet know nothing, abstract constructs forming in my mind every passing second, formations exceeding our dimensions. It felt as if time had become all but destroyed, this unfathomable mass of illumination having crushed the mere meaning of time itself, useless in the grand scheme that was unfolding before my every sense. Even if I tried to close my eyes and ears from all these awe inspiring, horrible, beautiful and terrible things I couldn't stop the flood of this disturbing information. All of my senses were working against me, behaving in ways they were not meant to be. It was as if I could see with smells and hear with my eyes, nothing felt normal or behaved in that pleasant familiar way. All the norms and things we have come to expect and that help us function were torn away, the carpet had been pulled under my feet and I fell into an universe that was dysfunctional by the very definition of the word. My mind felt as if it was a stranger in my body which now felt more like a cage designed to contain my mind than an extension of it.

Equally jarring was the transition back. I had no idea how much time had passed, but judging by everything around me I would guess just mere seconds, if that. Trying to think back at the things I saw and heard was near impossible, as trying to even comprehend the things gave me a concussive headache, as if my mind wasn't even able to compute the things, it was as futile as trying to fit your head through the hole in a needle. It may have ruined me forever to have peeked into the forbidden unknown and it may seem as if I have gained nothing from it, but it revealed me the truth to all things, even if I am not yet able to comprehend them."
