consciousness is not experiential 10/8/16

consciousness is not experiential.

what if consciousness

is not the experience of consciousness?

what if comprehension

is not the method of understanding?

what if comprehension

has an active imagination involved

while understanding is a reduction to usable words

to explain and account for what then is understood?

what if consciousness has no words,

no spoken language, no story to tell?

what if consciousness has no timeline

as the experientially impenetrable now?

what if consciousness is always present,

mostly experienced as limited awareness,

searching for realization,

as if the capture by experience is consciousness?

what if the well intentioned experience is only a lobbyist

for consciousness to abound?

assume for a moment, that all of the well developed

and defined methods of experience

are all profoundly dysfunctional methods

towards the ultimate goal of consciousness.

imagine that consciousness is not capturable

by the use of experience

yet conscious is happening to everyone,

intermittently, between or besides or behind

what experience represents.

if consciousness were a vastness

and understanding was a flashlight

predicated on its usage in a dark room

then in the daylight of consciousness,

the flashlight would seem useless

and at night the flashlight only see what is sees

into the presence of vastness,

but not the vastness itself.

if fear were the dark of the night

and love the light of day,

then understanding as the flashlight

only works in the darkness to satisfy one’s fears

while love supersedes understanding capacity

to be effective in the light of the day.

much in the same way,

consciousness is not experiential . . .
