The mystery of awareness

[Guest]

The mystery of awareness is darkness. Human beings reek of that mystery, of things which are inexplicable. To regard ourselves in any other terms is madness. So a warrior doesn’t demean the mystery of man by trying to rationalize it.

Rational structures are ridden, as a vehicle, to this very understanding. In fact, that quote is full of rational structure. All those nouns, verbs and adjectives are classifications learned in school. Designation of words is a necessary falsehood.



How is darkness a mystery if its rationalized in words?

And if it is not rationalized (put into order), will awareness apprehend mystery?



This quote is a contradiction from the onset, because it utilizes rational understanding to allude to an undeniably irrational truth in perception.

hey tiff. love the avatar. i have met genaro in a dream with my other friend. the lesson was too abstract to recount rationally. but it seemed like some light is light, and some is dark. ive been mastering my own awareness by stalking my own shadow. i like to think anything is mystery if approached with the subtlety of conquering oneself equally.

yeah, it's like the rubber band. snap there, snap back.
