to give up the know 4/10/18

the universe cannot be understood 

by the means we use as understanding.

our think is not a constant answer as we claim.

our focus may only be a fixed lens of comprehension,

as long as we pursue linear thinking as reward.

we are image seeking as audience, as understanding.

some of the rules for this knowledge base

put us at a distinct distance from participation.

observation, as a technique, implies some of 

or similar undisclosed operational rules 

that align in function towards analysis by their usage.

but to know is not to be.

so the nature of self-consciousness 

is radically distant from the stream of pure consciousness.

the riddle of self only becomes 

the lens inherited by observation towards understanding

and then the assumptions generated by it.

yet understanding, as a medium of human participation, 

does not overcome this handicapping strategy.

understanding should not a telescope or a microscope 

but when really realized as only a mirror reflecting

the techniques used by us 

to fulfill our separate-from observational process.

until the mirror is genuinely multidimensional 

in its reflecting 

and not cast as strictly observational 

but be, more so, deep and dark penetrating, 

the riddle of intelligence 

is myopic, unrealized or under-dimentionally apprehending 

as if and of itself 

and the essential self of its only intelligent self-inquiry.

investigation by another process 

would yield direct immersion 

as a form of vibrational understanding. 

if that word, intelligence,  

still had functional usage and involvement.

at that point of discovery, 

beyond the use of intelligence, 

there are no relevant details necessary, 

account, if needed, is not linear, 

and understanding would be deeply immersive 

not yielding results 

but direct participation 

as a first-person dynamic member of the universe, 

respectful and participatory 

of the universe more directly 

for how we occupy it now

as to then would be quite differently. 

not that we would occupy mass, for then, in the same way 

or be content with spoken language 

in its usage stance of now

or even think for then as if to generate thought.

we seem to be cursed by these crutches we use 

and that we momentously honor 

with much continued usage, 

we call them our best qualities 

as if they individually exist as attributes,

each unto it self. 

experience, as it functions now, is painful. 

but that pain and sorrow occurs loudly 

only in other unheard of dimensions of our beings.

what is tragic, is our placement in time and space 

as if religious and respectfully for us to be perceive. 

at some point, flat-line observation and perspective 

will fade away, out of a lack of functional usage.

until then, we have know and not know, 

fighting this invisible battle 

within each of us 

for operational drawnness.

so, what will it take for any of us

to give up the know,

our positions of separateness from 

everything perceived as around us,

to more fully embrace, immerse, 

and be? . . .
