Arise!

How do we transcend the subject/object duality and understand how much more we need to extend the field of subjectivity. Not so far as objectivity but further than we'll know. I think people get bored with God because we have no way of truly knowing him. Also, people feel that all we really need to know about him is laid out for us. No one wants to fill in the details because they feel their opinion is completely arbitrary and lacking any sense of validity or verify-ability. People don't want to think for themselves because it's a lot of work and they don't know how rewarding it is. Big Brother wants you to believe that thinking for yourself will hurt you. Combining all knowledge together and saying that ignorance is bliss is ignorance. The idea that you can know and judge all forms of knowledge is ridiculous, but if it hurts it hurts. Just know that if all knowledge could be categorized, our brains wouldn't have much ordering to do, and would then lose a great amount of ambition and drive to understand.

Sun Position

Whoever put me here wasn't very creative. I like to visit here from time to time, but I can't stay very long. People look at me and I just stare, sometimes its hard to imagine what people see in me so I do nothing at all so as to keep what's close a mystery. This can have its advantages: if no one sees you they can make up whatever they like about you and then fear the day they meet the real you. But I stick around, and although I'm never still, I'm always over your shoulder and my energy persists. To you, I'm only around half the time, busy with myself. When you tell me this I reply that if I could change I would, but things were like this long before you were born. It's amazing, you're more personal with me than anyone else, and yet I don't treat you like you're special. I don't know how I could treat anyone special being as I do my best for everyone, day-in, day-out. In me you see your finer senses tingle. In me you know you'll get hurt if you get too close. Whatever you did to acknowledge my existence made it harder for you to do over time. In fact, someone caught you speaking to me and had you put in the looney bin, where there are no windows and you can no longer see me. What do I care? I have millions of lovers. This conversation isn't even taking place, because I'm the freaking sun! I had you put in here in the first place, so how lousy I really am?

Is there anybody out there?
Once we have lost control we lose certainty. One may go so far and say the only things that exist are here. A younger me, or anyone who would put others down for their short-sightedness which is actually just knowledge regarding what we can or can't do and acting on it morally or not. We see inside and out, which "only goes to show" that our minds operate one way but may see most things provided they have been "hanging 'round" during the extraordinarily long years of godly evolution. Lets take one to see what we see. Gravity as as stable and ancient as anything humans have interacted with or even received information about. We can feel and we can see, and by drawing a distinction we can learn. "Back to reality whoops there goes gravity." Gravity had been around and we knew it well enough to be able to sustain ourselves within its laws. It surprises me that the laws that govern our universe are stable enough that the Tower of Babel didn't fall due to natural circumstance. But I suppose we haven't been around for long, but still, what keeps us safe from external predators? Why was Issac Newton's apple light enough, or, for that matter, gravity weak enough that it should not knock Newton out? Why isn't the sky falling in? Why aren't anvils falling from the sky? I suppose hail is exception to the rule, but it sure seems like the only exception...Maybe all the best ideas are copy cats. No, not in terms of how they analyzed a problem, but the information they had and the subject matter at hand. If you can figure out that gravity is caused by objects bending the space around them, you really don't change the way we use gravity. Is it all a way of validating your findings, but what good is this knowledge? Maybe all the best ideas are strangely inhuman. The laws of the universe control us to the degree that they are tuned to. So, "turn on, tune in, and drop out." This is actually written like an idea, with its similar subject being the brain and its different perspectives put in threes. There are three lyrics to songs implanted in this posting to give my thoughts a sense of momentary pointedness, only to return to the unknown, its nature represented through the swiss cheesed questions which mount one on top of the other like the Tower of Babel. Some say the best ideas lead to more questions than answers but that says nothing about the specificity of the ideas themselves. Thoughts and ground-breaking theories come unexpectedly, they leap out of no where and seem so clear when they reach the surface. When we wonder where that idea came from, we know that sometimes thinking is done best when you are blind-folded. What is most important is the feeling of yearning for an answer to your question and maintaining the hope you have for coming up with an idea that surprises you and is new to you. it is impossible to say the most important part of thinking because of the inter-dependance of each act of thinking. The reason we go through the process is because it is ingrained in us, and in those moments of doubt where you can't hang on to anything, you can at least tell yourself that this is where I was when I was perpetually on the brink of discovering something, anything, that was seen at that point to be a personal achievement of greatness. If you let your mind roam free, it will always return to itself, attracted by a rare opportunity to look over itself and see the same things in a different light. We know that there will always be something to learn, but one now wonders where we are.
