just asking

so when, 

in the course of human experience,

does understanding come out 

of its own shadow-existence

and then, the being of isness 

cast no shadows?

so when, 

did human consciousness come to sip that isness

and experience lost its viewing perspective?

and when was memory discovered 

to be a form of functional idolatry

and its utility 

was perceived as an influence from a foreign hand?

and when was common sense realized

as just conceptual voting rights

and that comprehension was unrealized permission 

coming from a higher mind?

so what if language is, as coinage used,

had no dimension of time?

and what if isness only spoke of itself 

by being?

and that beingness had no surface of self-dom?

so what if imagine had a life of its own

and the state of nothingness 

never was or will be?

could the essence of substance 

have no medium of observational means?

and oneness has no sense of itself

other than immersed in the stream of its being?

could consciousness be non-positional

and space and time are undefined?

and could human-know have no residency

other than its life force presenting?

where say becomes a launch pad into essence

and essence only speaks of itself 

in its beingness?

hey, just asking? . . .
