In an unpredictable world, everything we do is only a gesture or a wish, especially over long stretches of time. Sometimes we're good at what we do, and our wishes come true - or so we think. For now. Sometimes not so much. Sometimes, we don't even know. There is not always such a thing as 'is' or 'is not', 'will' or 'will not.' There is only "seems to me..." or not. Or both. Or neither. The only certain thing is the watcher in us watching and the wisher in us wishing. We are not what we do or what we make, we are the watchers of the doing and of the becoming. I am not the main character, I am just the spotlight. What is revealed is what I illuminate. If we want a better world and a better life, we have to learn where and how to shine the light.

AQAL by Ken Wilber


You return home
moon-landed, foreign;
the Earth’s gravitational pull
an effort now redoubled,
dragging your shoelaces loose
and your shoulders
etching deeper the stanza
of worry on your forehead.
You return home deepened,
a parched well linked to tomorrow
by a frail strand of…

Anyway…

You sigh into the onslaught of identical days.
One might as well, at a time…

all the religions of the world, they have this beautiful quality in them, depending on the religion, and generally one of the qualities that's so beautiful is a mechanism of self-forgiveness and the mechanism of purification, a general assessment of the human condition as being somewhat depraved; the puking in ayahuasca, you're purging yourself from your darkness, the confession booth in Catholicism, maybe you could say in Gnosticism, like true Gnosis, or in Buddhism you could say connecting with actual reality instead of your overlays of reality, or... you know, it goes on and on, this is all within each one, there's this idea that there's a way for us, to ritualistically create, if you want to be a pure scientific materialist, a beautiful placebo effect that gets you to drop some of your neurotic qualities or at the very least reset your intention to make the world a better place

Greatness is a transitory experience. It is never consistent. It depends in part upon the myth-making imagination of humankind. The person who experiences greatness must have a feeling for the myth he is in. He must reflect what is projected upon him. And he must have a great sense of the sardonic. This is what uncouples him from belief in his own pretensions. The sardonic is all that permits him to move within himself. Without this quality, even occasional greatness will destroy a man.
