In wholeness, we may see the traps that we set and that we help to set through participation. In seeing, we may encourage the careful consideration of others for feeling combined with reason—that others may learn that it is not necessary to separate them for reason appeasement.
As we look at problems that exist for the human race, we work toward a concise understanding of intellect and the evolutionary mental constructs that are, of it, defining.
To present an apt picture of intellect, we shall look at a collection of writing that we may savor side-by-side with art that is the flowering of this study, embracing a discipline that transcends knowledge for deductive growth. Art reveals the mind's ability to synthesize the encoded passive self, rendering images and symbols of feeling from below the impact of reason that are dimensionally defined, flowing always into the constant, into the now, felt seriously.
Ironically, one must bear in mind that the R.I.P. is an illusion and a part of think process that must soften and yield itself to passive analysis and digestion for it to become complete and a part of the intrinsic feeling self. Illusion can be matched and isolated within the human being. We use the very same forces of imagination and wit to create and destroy, to love and hate, as we do to think and make mean that which we deceive ourselves into believing is reality. Truth, as we know it, is based on this illusion.
Certainly we can benefit from what many philosophers and thinkers have tried to say and, there, left off. Even when they have missed their mark and never come to the point of that which they instinctively know and feel and deeply intuit, we can cull splinters of the self from their devotion to introspection and self sincerity. All thinkers pay dearly for their lives devoted to the probe of self. They do not find recognition in a marketplace that is no more than factory ordered, manufactured think-process of ideas for ideas and results for results in a jobs for jobs commercial milieu.
This study of the R.I.P. entails the agreement process; that which is promised that cannot be promised. The agreement process is the mammoth effort to preserve reason for reason at any cost. Paradox resides in the mind as rift. We foster rift and division for blame and for payment in blame. As excuse, we hold forth the stresses of our lives and our overwork that brings numbness when it is we who have placed ourselves on this treadmill that will not stop. What will not stop is our perfunctory habit and our tradition of slavery.
The manner in which human beings think is doubt of that which is pre-meant and handed down. Need we accept the archetype as truth and homily? Critical deductive thought forges with the yield of passive self-interrogation to engage what lies beyond unauthorized mental peripheries. Beyond the outskirts of the mind are the portals that are the locked doors of intuitive creation. Upon the outskirts of the mind is a genuine love of self that can stroke the frail creature that can live without doors and walls—that lives within the liquid essence of self and close to our affectionate grasp if we so choose to touch it. It is the one thin light granted to us that we have been taught to contort and twist and maim and to all but snuff out. We die long before we die—before our covenant with life ends. What we call life is so thoroughly a waking death that actual death has much more to do with living than the sadly controlled lives that we agree to live. The agreement process is enactment of our prolonged agreement to fail. We agree to live our lives in reticence with our consciousness impaired and split to half life in exchange for hoaxed security, duty-bound love, the assumption of false authority and for synthetic values. We happily become living corpses in exchange for the promise of future life.
There is no future. There is no promise. There is only life that can be whole and life that is now. There are no chances to take and there are no odds stacked against others. There is only the timeless dimension of what lives in here and now and what is constant to the creature being.
To disagree is to know the opulence of self. To take steps outside of agreement is to move beyond factory-think knowledge that regulates and conforms us to technically reinforced and economically engineered failsafed acts.
The agreement process, enacted on multiple levels of society, is progress. The goal of progress is mass agreement on any preconceived idea that can be adapted as a way of life and is adapted, regardless of the loss of human dignity. Progress recognizes the value of ideas by virtue of their agreeableness only. However, agreeableness is dangerous, for as soon as agreed knowledge is enacted into progress, it becomes an empowered blind end. The followers of progress are indifferent to their altered mental state of impasse and their pursuit of progress for betterment becomes rigid.
Agreement for progress is the root of the quest for a future that is better and that will be even better when it becomes the best in terms of correctness and right. Such hope in future is futile and destructive. It reinforces paradox. Reason and intention become the word. Violation of the word is a threat to reason empowered and an act of war. Jeopardy empowered is the ward of blind belief and hope.
The R.I.P. in the human mind serves two purposes: justification of blame and the manufacture of words and slogans that connote and insure obedience, without doubt, to implied meaning. If progress moves along as smoothly as it can, no human being need ever be troubled by the need to think; for the connotation of thought is before him. Indeed, connotations are flashed and reverberated in the constant hum and buzz of media stimulation and simulation. The message is that one may wrap himself securely in the warm knowledge that a better and more right future is just over the horizon. The clear evidence to the contrary is a moot point. Pictures of havoc and destruction are commonplace, but the word is paramount and not open to question. We trust with our lives that which will destroy the human being: the word.
The vain hopelessness of future promise is lost on those who are focused, in active memory, on connotative meaning. Fear is the enemy. We gleefully trade self for promise, no matter the fallacy of such a hope nor its certain malignancy. The R.I.P. is the harsh penalty delivered for failure to live. Future promise pledges better life but it delivers an empty shell: an alien construct placed on the back of the frail being called human, the most gentle creature on earth.
Our hopelessness called hope shows in our fear and in what we mentally store and must come to draw down and to face. The dually matched justifiers, reason reciprocals, are as phony as the mental parody we use to portray cause and effect and question/answer bias. When these things are made to fit one side or the other, the tear will be mended, even at great cost in suffering.
Within this study of the R.I.P., we will touch upon certain acts of volition that might suggest human will or resolve, not as impasse nor any contention but a resolve that is without reason as a buttress. Resolve purges "to be or not to be" and purges all interrogation by interrogation. Question does not toy with dualistic justifiers but demolishes them and stops their momentum.
Man is a multi-dimensional creature in a mono-dimensional suit, clothed in reason and armed with intention in preparedness to defend tradition which is habit for resource and dogma, which is profit by belief.
It may be assumed that a skeptical man is a non-thinking and non-feeling man. An unrelenting skeptic has a mind that penetrates and probes. He is unwanted and is an unwarranted catalyst who pushes others beyond their usual limited mental states that impede real growth and resist change. The skeptic is too determined and set within a narrow range of categorical dimensions. A skeptic is a harbinger of negativity. His negativity belies hope and undermines promise.
But it is the skeptic who, by his negativity, is an original thinker: the negative one who asks questions that so disturb the hoax. For this, he pays the price of the outcast.
The skeptic is, first, an interrogator of self. He seeks out what underlies the vestiges of reason. The skeptic topples reason as the mental sentinel to the passive self that is the vessel for human dignity and grace.
Dignity is robed in tawdry vestments of truth and is interred in extravagant veils of deception used to justify hard-won seats of authority to acquire. Authority is the generator of blame and is necessary for empowerment of those in mainframe entity. This is manifest paradox with keepers of impasse.
Entity is comprised of representative think-processors for the masses of people who are not empowered—who are weak in either determination or
