complaints about understanding

the problem with understanding 

is that it is a given.

so how to inquire

but not with understanding.

what is the mechanism of understanding

in its functioning?

is it beyond the neurology involved?

does descriptive provide adequate responses?

does understanding ever beget 

anything beyond understanding?

how does deeper truth exist

without understanding backing it?

could life be lived in the face of understanding, 

being appalled at activity and outcome?

isn't understanding's comeuppance just logic

delivered in language inwardly expressed?

and that language is already compliant 

with the premise of understanding as worth?

what if meaningful was creatively interactive

with that which comes from the unknown

and potentially is unknowable as a standalone? 

if there is a fluid world 

where understanding can only go and take pictures,

as still-images of actionable life, 

then brought back to understanding's world as evidence

and yet not coded to fully represent that living done there,

then comprehension is only an audience perspective.

what if beingness is real 

but being is subject to self aware,

where all instructions are self approved

rather than creatively lived alive?

how divergent is understanding's approach from being?

are we overly committed to understanding's approach

and thereby indwelling rather than evolutionarily advancing,

for the sake of appearance presents looks to impress,

but in a long view 

change is only substitutional in nature?

it does fascinate our experiential means

but experience does not look to relinquish its position

of relevance for human endeavor.

yet experience is always self-reflective in its carriage

and somewhat regulatory is a self-regard way.

people are tired and subsequently bored with experience.

imbibing becomes an assumed alternative,

drugs, alcohol, spontaneity, impulse, whim, whatever,

to escape experience's humdrum of unseen methodology. 

where from within would we be called from

and who from within would heed and respond

that experience would not tend to overwhelm

and subsequently replace with a version of understanding?

there is an entrapment that functions 

as a self-conscious mind functioning as being conscious.

from where within does a deeper sense of being

arrive at a higher state of consciousness

than self has already developed and maintains?

who in us is the understudy for experience

that we hope someday will become center stage?

some much so,

that life will advance from being a self version

of our own broadway show,

that we both portray and also audience interchangeably,

that understanding may give way

and the time delay of comprehension will be gone. 

and we then approach the now

totally present without understanding as a restraint . . .
