THE CENTER WE REFUSE TO SEE
The departiculation of everything in the same moment is the natural Way—the movement of energy itself. So says the Tao Te Ching.
Each recurring moment is uniquely specific, yet its energy is always the same—same, but different, for every movement wears a new face.
“You cannot step into the same river twice.” — Heraclitus.
The aggregate of repeats forms the platform of time we engage.
All begins and ends with the same eternally recurring movement: the same energy returning with a different face, each sequential repeat merging to wholeness—a unified presence with a mind of its own, conducting its parts like an orchestra.
"The whole is more than the sum of its parts." - Aristotle.
Humanity, by its collective thought refuses to center on what is happening anyway - the universe is eternally recurring whether we believe it or not.
All‑as‑one, we turned Eternity inside out for a moment of time.
All-as-one, we are the resistance that initiated movement.
All-as-one we are a single thought growing resistance - thinking is the movement of thought.
Because it is so, we are a collective force of ignorance that is everywhere at once.
we are an expanding force: the sum of who we think we are, under the gun of the collective one that carries out our will with impunity - a created being without empathy - unknown to its parts, yet it is the most alive thing about us.
All-as one we are a force of ignorance: the sum of our own parts—everywhere at once, conducting our collective will as a single being - our ruthless watchdog.
We have not discovered this because all enquiry arises from within the secondary bubble—from inside the domain of the demon.
“Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.” — Max Planck.
To see clearly, we must rationalize the demon as the hidden driver of collective Will—high above its parts, directing all that it is with impunity.
We inhabit a bubble we dare not pierce, fearing its collapse—though it is collapsing anyway.
We are governed by what we refuse to see.
It is time to burst the bubble and center on the heartbeat of everything: the universe is disappearing and re-appearing in one fell swoop gathering all to Love at the speed of gravity.
“Not to know it is blindness that works evil.” - Tao Te Ching.
— Center on what is happening anyway.
