Today's title, question marked, therefore rhetorical, observing linguistic convention, commas carefully deployed grammatically ... whoops! those three dots, a habit in the blog, a radical device to disrupt and sow seeds of doubt about full stops ... which are unknown in our birthright, Nature, long abandoned in The Garden, a metaphor in biblical systems ... but the Word, of God or Prophets or any other word you like, is not the thing described. .. it's a trap! best stay silent, rather than babble in the Tower ... or play lightly with it, knowing that even Lao Tse, or Tzu, the Old Boy of Dao, or Tao, advised, or advises if The Power of Now is right, that The Dao which can be described is not the Immortal Dao! though 80 or so wise verses follow .... hmmm ...
Semantics, or General Semantics, worth a look ... Robert Anton Wilson explains it in an entertaining way, along with Zen and other sounds denoting nothingness or emptiness paradoxically full ... of energy, Infinite Potential ... where Bohm was pointing and the title of his recent film, though he himself, or rather his Bohm form, not the essence lingering in The Field ... passed on a while ago ...
Kurt Vonnegut, German sounding, but full citizen of BSA, a POW in Dresden when that city was flattened in one of the War Crimes of the century ... exceeded soon after by not one but two nuclear attacks to test the efficacy of the destructive power ... Japanese war crimes on the Burma Railway and other sites the justification ... the very bleak humour of the author emerged in his observation: it is important to exercise the vocal chords in case we have something important to say one day ...
Anyway, all this wordplay passes the time, though may not help describe some insights, the pathless path into the right brain, if that really is the location of Mind, Universal and or the individual and or the Superorganism proposed by Zen of Thich Nhat Hanh and Interbeing and others less well known ... Michael, for example, well enough known to Wear&Dao ... anyway that's numinosity and may only be pointed to at best ... sorry dear reader(s), you have to work it out yourselves. .. there's plenty of time, after all, if infinity's a thing ... or paradoxically no-time ... so, like the present! and prophets all around, major and minor to help you construct your unique Way ... hold it lightly, you'd be mad to take seriously, which, incidentally is good reason in DUK at least, along with COPD, to decline to suffocate yourself ...
Rain clearing to a mostly clear day in a quite wet August and time to walk ... and reflect on an amazing Reality opening up, beyond Fear, beyond Self, lived alongside other humans in parallel worlds where our consciousness evolves as creators, in partnership with the infinite potential in all, and simultaneously players, audience with the others ... phew, imagine that!
Latest possibilities include: small retreat extension starting to take form; winter trips to Sri Lanka and now Penang; or stay here for winter retreat, why not? it's where I live just Now!
