"I may not know who i am but i can be sure of one thing, THAT I AM, so i
just have to keep asking who i am (or where or why or wha for that
matter)." The difficulty is that i am not sure and cannot be sure that i
indeed am.
My one sure point of reference is that i do not know. This "sure point of
reference" may seem pretty insecure but what's wrong with it? I am bolstered
in this safe port in the ontological storm by seeing everywhere people
claiming to know, their knowing apparently being very attractive to seekers
mired in the metaphysical swamps, who want some assurance about something,
excuse the mixed metaphors. Their knowing could well be the truth, or at
least their truth, so great!, but oftentimes it's not.
Looked at from a different point of view, not knowing can be quite positive.
It is wonder, awe, mystery. Not knowing is no impediment to acting
decisively when that is needed. And the beauty: not knowing is easy and fun
and you can do it in your spare time at home.
__ Beautiful, Sarlo! Perhaps it is this fog of "unknowing" that one must intuit
clearly and hold onto. It can bring the existential sorrow and universal
tears to some. It can bring one to his/her knees as the ontological storms
appear to rage on all sides. One has to learn to live with it, I believe, on
some paths at least. Gradually and slowly and carefully and mindfully one
travels this road which leads nowhere really, because where can any road go.
Just to another destination. And then what? Where does one go then? But
perhaps this metaphysical loneliness when carried to the extreme allows the
surrender to take place. A weary and a tired traveler is ultimately left
without a choice. Perhaps it is the preface to recognizing Grace and that
Supreme Aloneness that is Whole and One, and THAT I AM.
