Drag

Thought of this a few days ago so hope I can recall it accurately.  One can divide the world into the material and the invisible.  In the invisible realm lies the spirit and other dimensions.  The physical is what's around us and time.  When our mind breaks through to the spiritual world, or timeless world, we obtain a new understanding.  This is food for our insides, or soul, or still center.  Or one can say it touches God, or is God given.

As we function in the material world with this new understnading we attempt to move forward and transform the material world around us to conform to this new realization. Since it is matter and energy it can take the new form for just so long and then falls short.  It weighs us down and becomes a drag.  We are literally 'dragged' down. For a time the new physical forms have a sparkle but eventaully they turn into dead weight, or drag as said.

Some drag becomes extinct.  The weight of the rest causes inertia and decay and   friction within us so we are propelled to delve into the new realm or timeless zone for new understanding.  Or, in spiritual terms, we empty ourselves of matter and receive what is from beyond, Once done, a new way of seeing is received and the matter around us starts to glitter and sparkle again for a time.

If we get too caught up in the material we become weighed down. If we just foucs on receiving from the invisible we lose functionality in this world. A back and forth relationship or dance has to exist between the two.

Systems fracture

There is no such thing as one complete system that works.  For a time it will seem as if one system can work, but eventually there will be a flaw, then two, then three and on and on until it fractures.  This is the nature of existence.  All reasoning, understanding, and paradigms follow this principle.

You need the world

It's possible you looked forever and found the one realization you were after.  You didn’t know it, but it appeared.  You have found with time you have to be humble about it.  The one big and all consuming realization took over your life and your body and mind began to serve it.

But time entered the equation, or really never left but just became apparent.  Time was the world and all its variances and subtleties.  You thought you could block out the world and be fixated upon your realization.  A transformation took place.  What you protected yourself from you began to let in.  Each particular experience in the world you once again befriended and these morsels of life filled up your insides and became food for your being.  They were no longer the enemy or even a distraction.  They became a help.

What had occurred is that your realization was no longer enough by itself.  The crystallized form and wrapping it came in was just too one dimensional.  Your needs and insides began to dry up.  This lacking eventually turned to hurt which forced you out of your own skin.

So again you turned to the world and reopened it.  Each sense and piece of worldly wisdom and how to do things and what other people said, both historically and in the now served to awaken little pieces of you.  Experience became an ally and began to enrich.  The once all encompassing realization was stripped of all its clamor and what remained of it humbly watched from a distance somewhere in the background.  What you came to see is that every experience, thought and process of the world pointed in its direction in some way and for a minute you understood a grander design that lifted you above the hurt.

Talk at Kevro's one


An intense, brief conversation at Kevro’s Art Bar with Kevro, his friend/client, and myself about reaching out because of isolation, about finding a commonality versus individual perception, and about relativism versus absolutism. Kevro’s friend had stated that “all is relative,” and I stated if that is absolutely true, then that statement is an absolute and therefore everything can’t be relative.

Kevro gave an ah hah, his friend showed interest, and we then decided to look at his new painting on string theory.

Our dilemma


From confusion we reach towards clarity.  We seek what is true, timeless, and the above.
At the same time the essence of these qualities also is within us, in the here and now.
To live in the world means to move in a certain direction, so we reach.  However, what we are reaching for we already have.  This is our dilemma. 




Three points

Three points   

In this universe there are three dimensions; height, width, and depth.  Height and width exist on a single plane independent of one another.  Depth creates unification, for it includes height and width.  What is seemingly independent becomes unified.

Some actions appear right, some appear wrong.  Reconciliation, or seeing both sides with acceptance, serves as a point of unification.  Often right can't see wrong and wrong can't see right.  But with reconciliation, what seems mutually exclusive becomes unified.

In life there are points, then counterpoints, and then a higher plain that can view both within its perspective.  These three points are the makeup of the universe.
