### - i watched it, smile, plus it's complicated coz these days i tend to view
'all' such rational argument and conclusion as being similar to that of a
blind man avidly searching around in a dark room looking for a black cat...
that ultimately just isn't there!:)
iow, having 'invented' the premises ourselves, we then take for granted that
exploring 'outside' of those premises is verboten (or just plain wrong) and
consequently then argue and explore/probe strictly + absolutely contextually
'within' those very same agreed premises and boundaries and expect to arrive
at some kind of revealing 'truth' when in fact all we're actually achieving is
pushing and expanding the limits of those very same premises that we started
off with in the first place while inadvertently + unknown to us, manipulating
our own man-made perception of the whole...
something that was once done exclusively via religion wherein we derived a
religious view of the world that all made a kind of sense as long as everyone
went along with it, plus ditto the rational science and logic of today which
perforce affords us another view entirely, one that's even more convincing and
imprisoning than religion ever was..,
and yet, if we were to stand back just a little from our total obsession with
(and belief in) interpretationally-based projected views we struggled +
learned to relate to, we'd immediately realise that science and religion, even
though they 'appear' to be worlds apart from each other, are in fact only the
two sides of the same one coin with no actual division between them, we look
for 'answers' in a certain place and find certain + strictly related answers
merely depending on the view one adopts at the time, and then we get really
excited thinking we're achieving great things when in fact nothing is actually
happening except inside of our own heads which we then project upon the world
and call it reality...
that ultimately, because of humanity's total attachment to 'language'
(something he himself invented in the first place) we've only ended up pushing
the bounds of said language to include more and more of what we can perceive
via language itself, never once stopping to consider that maybe we might all
be just barking up the wrong tree (or just plain barking heh:) as we wilfully
+ stubbornly continue to process absolutely everything we can get our grubby
little mitts on into and via said language, never realising that all we're
actually doing is distorting everything to suit our very own +
contrived/invented concept of the way we've come to think things 'should' or
'ought' to be...
iow, we deliberately process our experiences to fit a preconceived +
completely contrived mould, a mould that we ourselves invented + then have
learned to totally disregard anything to the contrary... whereas i personally
would tend to go along with old buddha, who probably sat there watching all
these chimps and totally obsessed + self-absorbed idiots all climbing and
tumbling + falling all over themselves, trying themselves up in knots... for
nothing basically, other than all the stress such behaviour creates for
themselves... and said/explained to them... look, you just don't have to do
it!!!
views views views, all piled one upon the other till life, it appears, is all
about which 'view' one should or shouldn't adopt, and as a consequence we've
created endless 'virtual' realities that we then 'inhabit' as though totally
real in a far ranging spectrum that goes from religion to science, never once
considering that we just don't absolutely 'have' to do it!
consequently, there's probably always been a small bunch of people wandering
around whose 'illusions' have been somehow broken (dis-illusioned, literally!)
who because they couldn't BE repaired or made to function again the way they
'used' to function (properly broken as opposed to only slightly damaged,
unrepairable!) but who didn't die (or just kill themselves because of their
loss) but chose to continue living ( perforce that would have a be a
'conscious' choice from then on in everything as opposed to merely the
ingrained + taken for granted default values of the otherwise still totally
engrossed masses) have thus been forced to then experience the world in a
somewhat completely different manner, one necessarily 'without' the backup of
language (reason itself is a language, a whole way of structured 'thinking'
and 'conceptualising' that follows all its own self-created rules) to the
point that their daily 'experience' cannot now be 'put' into words nor
described nor contained therein, basically because for them their experience
only 'began' when they somehow 'exceeded' the bounds of said language-based
interpretational views of life, the universe, and everything in the first
place!
i.e. one lives and somehow persists, but all the rules are off, there's no
more 'game', there's no more 'play', the actor has escaped from within the
bounds of the written script and can go around doing his 'own' productions,
that is 'if' he can be bothered to 'do' them i mean hehehe (chances are most
people just piss-off under those circumstances and are never ever heard from
again, people like arthur rimbaud for example... others tho stick around,
perhaps to tend the eggs that 'sometimes' crack and hatch out into butterflies
or flutter-bys, or whatever;)
dorking of course is a nut hehehe, a very nice + rational nut for sure, but
still an unhatched egg for all that, and thus almost completely crazy (it's
not really his fault you understand, it's just the way he was brought up and
educated/programmed in a very 'particular' way, plus it's unlikely now that
he'll ever escape his fate, which after all is the same fate as the vast
majority of mankind, he having now gone so far down that particular road that
if you let him out now all you'd probably get as a result is some very badly
scrambled egg (poor fucker really, it really is a sad 'and' beautiful world
sometimes, n'est pa?:)
and, well i dunno if all that actually covers your question or not, but the
well has just suddenly run dry and i'm done, so it must be in there somewhere
hehe + good luck finding it:)
