Other Il-lumin-ations
Unknowing
Once,
I think, I thought, I knew,
What life was all about.
Confident, assured I grew,
Beyond the shadow of a doubt.
By
history's endeavor,
I sought that life be solved,
But life shouted, "Never, I am too involved.
Never will you place in order,
the hows, the whys, the wheres.
Life is a happening without a border,
not a
game of musical chairs.
Though Life has method, ill defined,
and there may be a clue.
Don't pay it a moments mind
or
woe be unto you.
For the moment that you think you know,
You'll destroy all life's merit.
Then misery and boredom
will grow and grow
'til you can hardly bear it."
'Twas then I set aside my reason
in favor of the
moment,
And began to live in every season
without need of atonement.
So now, I think, I think a thought.
Oh,
wow, to my surprise,
it becomes the thing it ought,
Right before my eyes.
So planners and knowers, if you please,
Hang on to your intention,
But just to set your minds at ease,
Flow with your invention.
The world you witness is as you have arranged it mentally

It is not until doubt occurs that The Way opens and Truth
is revealed. Without this happening, there is only the shallow and superficial pursuits of sensory pleasures. Having no sense
of purpose other than to entertain itself, the body consciousness ignores anything that might cause it to recognize that it
is but an aspect of something greater and more meaningful.
It is only at times when there is
a gap in the defensive structure of the "mental arrangement" associated with the body that inspiration, which is the enemy
of structured and formulated reality, occurs. It is this that triggers curiosity, causing the "person" to reach out for greater,
more inclusive understanding.
