envisioning i ain't there yet!

From this moment. For the moment. Forever? I note change. Wondering how it came about, or to be within me, who is nothing special; just another Joe. Or sometimes John, Jack or Jacob or even “HEY YOU!”

I am not THERE YET!

Holy, whole, complete or finished. This/The process of unfolding continues. For now it is enough to simply say; ‘Be careful of what you pray for . . . ‘ Shy to say so for my many beloved friends: atheist, agnostic and believers who say so of themselves. There are no boundaries between we and god; only delusions, illusions, wishful thinking or indifference . . . possibly avoidance?

Could it be, it seems so, unfolding is better said: enfolding? By any measure or means, I previously thought, by kind or degree: when we die we rot: from nothing to nothing begot. Turn and turnabout  inside out, and upside down, I remain touched by something/someone greater than me. Integration is a process of becoming unending; beginning here-&-now.

My vision/version/ideation is formulated from many resources, correct for me. Affirmed and convicted: to live and die for. It seems best described – not prescribed – a we: the entire family, living and dead, are woven into a tapestry complete, ineluctable, yet so vast as to defy description. Our language of any tongue: by race, creed, gender penchants, proclivities, practices or associations seems in those who have spoken words of any worth remembering seems to grow more exhausted by utterance of those who would sell of what they presume we need; not want.

For me the difference, is lights years apart, between: assertion/aggression, love/hate versus indifference, Life/Death. Analogies, Similes, epitaph, Epigraph, Metaphor or Parables seems inconsequential compared to experience. No “I” in I, me or what writes; but a near consumed cigarette butt flicked into a mud puddle or as remembered; at sea when the universe is surrounding, becalmed, a mirror if you must. Or, better, sailing upon cats paws alone in a dingy uncaring whither I go; the tiller gently nodding myself near asleep in the bilge at night beloved. . . .

The Way, trackless: I want only for you to remember yourself, as precious beyond all measure of value to God. Learning for now as if living forever while ready to die this moment. Until meeting Creation/The Creator/whatever image need be to guide you to a full consciousness. First and foremost you need a self beloved to know where and why we live trusting that.

. . . . alone we come and alone we go

“The topic of personal identity is strictly speaking nonexistent. It’s important to recognize that we are not the kind of things that simply popped into existence at birth, continue to exist, the same thing, then die off the cliff edge or go into another realm. We are these very remarkably ordered collections of things. It is because we’re so ordered that we are able to think of ourselves as being singular persons. But there is no singular person there, that means we’re forever changing.” - in The Ego Trick: In Search of the Self

PS Consider, amusing or bemusing, Google knows your taste in erotica, your sperm or white cell count, when you ovulate or don’t, where you live, what and who or whom you love, etc. Who watches the watchers? Would you believe, you should you know! They track which side your hair is parted or not and the toothpaste brand and how often you brush or don’t ever.

“ . . . . credos that underpin the analytical tool. Dubbed Prospero’s Precepts, these eleven rules culled from some of history’s greatest minds can serve as a general-purpose guideline for critical thinking in all matters of doubt:

1. All beliefs in whatever realm are theories at some level. (Stephen Schneider)
2. Do not condemn the judgment of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong. (Dandemis)
3. Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. (Francis Bacon)
4. Never fall in love with your hypothesis. (Peter Medawar)
5. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories instead of theories to suit facts. (Arthur Conan Doyle)
6. A theory should not attempt to explain all the facts, because some of the facts are wrong. (Francis Crick)
7. The thing that doesn’t fit is the thing that is most interesting. (Richard Feynman)
8. To kill an error is as good a service as, and sometimes even better than, the establishing of a new truth or fact. (Charles Darwin)
9. It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so. (Mark Twain)
10. Ignorance is preferable to error; and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing, than he who believes what is wrong. (Thomas Jefferson)
11. All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed, second, it is violently opposed, and third, it is accepted as self-evident. (Arthur Schopenhauer)
