Chapter Two: The Nature of Existence
> The Nature of Existence > The Great Reality > The Game >The Vision<you are here> |
Introduction
Visionary Writing
I find it hard to explain exactly what I mean by visionary writing with out it sounding like pretentious mystical nonsense: leaving my self open to the accusation of being up my own ......... proverbial.... But there is an emotional feeling when one "sees" a reality for the first time in a particular way. One of the first thing is that I have is an absolute conviction of its rightness, that comes across with an amazing clarity in my minds eye. Its like seeing a dawn as the sun rise over a mountain and watching the valleys and landscape beneath being flooded with light. I know very prosaic :)

The Vision
What is it ?
It is the simplest of truths, facile and banal in appearance and yet
the stuff of revolution.
It has light within its meaning, that in its radiance illuminates an
understanding of things beyond the normal boundaries of
human thought,
that sets the soul of man at peace with himself.
It is not the meaning of life but yet it gives life meaning.
It is both hidden and mystical and yet sublimely obvious.
It is at the end of a long journey of thought that steps outside the
conformity of the norms, to let us see the mechanism of our existence.
It is in our dreams of utopia and yet firmly stands within reality.
It gives understanding, to set a destiny for man.
(Read this as if it was referring to you)
You are wonderful,
You are life.
Your wonderfulness is not conditional.
It is not because you’re:
Good or bad,
Rich or poor,
Strong or weak,
Successful or a failure,
It is that you are the miracle that is life.
You are unique and yet share that same wonderfulness with all other life.
It is the simplest of truths is undeniable and yet perhaps that very
simplicity and triteness can mark it as hollow sentiment,
but that belies the magnitudes of the implications
when taken as a reality.
To believe this truth as a conscious conviction,
to feel the wonderfulness
of being wonderful,
is to live life with eyes that can see:
Your own worth,
The worth of others
And give an understanding to existence.
Life is a totality; all forms of life within the totality are equal.
All life is subject to the instinctual laws of nature.
And man is no exception to these rules:
Survive to procreate’
A competitive struggle
That is “the game” of life.
But man is unique.
His uniqueness is not of his making,
it is part of an unfolding dynamic "miracle".
It fell to man to be given a speck of knowledge:
An awareness of his own existence.
But with that speck of knowledge man can see
The game for what it is
And in his mind step outside its confines.
He is set free to see;
He lives his life in a false dichotomy of being both,
Player and spectator, actor and audience.
That is the vision, as best a picture as I can paint, but this writing can be nothing more than like someone else's holiday snap experience.To find it as a reality for yourself you must take your own journey of discovery to see this vision and make it your own within your heart. However I have written down the some of the details of my journey in my writing Diligo Vita that you may find useful to help you on your way.
To those that seek this vision and take up their journeys and those that
don't alike, I send you my heartfelt love to you all,
to the “ Wonderful. ”
