a distrusted association
A bit about me, you should probably get right into. If i can’t make a correlation to any other thing, it’s false (or i should say near false). No amount of experimentation or calculation, repeatable or not would satisfy my distrust if i can’t find a rational association (this includes what shows up as a memory of a thing).
I quite literally don’t even trust memory, not written, verbal or imagined, not even if it’s repetitive, when i spend any moment pondering reality (this is a vital practice of meditation, btw). Something a scientist will tell you, very matter of factly, is that if mankind lost every written word, every scientific discovery, there would still remain “this” reality, full stop. Yet, they also aren’t very keen on things being conflicting and/or paradoxical as they associate the idea of truth as the epic discovery and that alone. Sadly, the truth is, ultimately a paradox. Full stop. No amount of words, stories, experiments or any other examinations will uncover anything otherwise. Yes, i’ve tried.
Knowledge for knowledge sake
We cherish fantasy, it’s a vital part of being. It opens up a “door” to what could be (this is our multi-dimensional wonderland) and it becomes real when it’s certain it can be attained. For most, fantasy is just that, as we really like to understand things by singling them out, sticking them in a corner and pronouncing “it’s just a fantasy”. But, that’s not how “this” works, that’s not how any of this works (think this is from a progressive commercial).
If you know something at all, it’s “this” zeitgeist. What you might have know before, was in fact completely altered for what might be know now (read: video killed the radio star). So knowledge, is in fact, not it. It’s a tool, a stepping stone to open the “door” of the next big thing.
Understanding wisdom is following connections
People will generally think someone is wise, simply because they can make connections (read: answer questions that remain individually unanswered). The brain, when examined shows an actually pretty simple ability of turning such connections into knowledge/memory as it’s fed through “this” zeitgeist training. (think: seven degrees of kevin bacon). Again, silly and pedantic as it may seem.
It’s all one, eternally so. Cleanse your pallet and dream on…
