"No matter how ideal one's perspectival position, they will not see the sunrise with their eyes closed."
Aldous Huxley said that "knowledge is a function of being", and in saying so expressed a universal truth about life-in-mind. We are not and never are complete unto ourselves, we are beings-in-process, always, works-in-progress. Indeed, transience, change, is the fundamental nature of relative reality; a universe ever in motion; Dynamic energy concreting now and then for a time only to inevitably, eventually, re-enter the Flow, if we don't stand in the way. For in fact, that which we call the self is nothing more than a solidity of Dynamic energy which has separated itself from God unjustly; an illusion of staticity. Like water, which when cold, solidifies into ice, yet is always, in the course of nature, is meant to melt back into its original 'substance' once again. Like a hand pressed into a fist which has forgotten how to release into 'handness' again. We operate under the illusion that the world we experience around us is separate from ourselves, our minds, who we are. But there is no such separation, no such isolation between a solid self and a solid world of objects. They are emanations from the same Source, reflections of oneanother which have forgotten their identity with each other. This forgotten relationship, event, between self and world is the residence of what has been most often been referred to as 'God', but 'whose' names are legion, though in truth 'it' can have no name.
The subject/object split: the source all trouble and strife, the source of all deception and partial truths, the ultimate illusion. It is beyond this split that All and One is 'found'. We are all of us falsely conceived illusions who are in actuality sensory elements of 'God'.
