sentience, the verb 2/1/18

experience is the not the reward for being.

consciousness is the presence in being.

experience is but the coping mechanism.

self-consciousness is an intermediary experiential means

as nothing from experience gives a clue to consciousness.

everything that is referential is self-conscious experience.

to expand one’s awareness beyond self-consciousness

provides for the possibility of consciousness.

self-consciousness wants to take a picture, have a fix,

and have a working understanding of everything.

consciousness is non-referentially everything’s everything.

self-consciousness has inquiry, survey and summation

while consciousness has loss of self in immersion.

self-consciousness has retention and cognition

whereas consciousness has immersion

beyond the efforts of understanding

and the cognitive framing of conclusions.

whatever you would want

as your optimal ongoing experience,

eventually you would discover the pitfalls

and the shortcomings of the nature of experience

for beyond topic, beyond titillation,

beyond total entertainment,

self-consciousness is just a wardrobe of experience

and your spirit is always totally vastly nude

inside your experiential clothes.

consciousness is not happening in your body

but is happening through your body

and we are fixated on the impressionable intake

of each experience in that light.

consciousness does not produce experiences

but experience attempts fixated takes of consciousness.

consciousness, as a concept,

exists beyond meaning’s journey

both within it and beyond it, and of it.

we seem to thrive

on the quicksand of depiction as format.

as long as we are thought,

we eventually drown.

when we become think

we move on from the sentience

as sea . . .
