Quote Fancy |
It may seem strange to say as the image above depicts as is supposed to be said by the late singer David Bowie as to what I feel to use the quote for.
In a world especially as in 2020 to now the end of 2021 in which the whole world is in fear gripped by total authoritarian and eventually leading to a totalitarian autocratic group of persons who espouse benevolence and yet have an ulterior motive and a rationale which is in my view hideous. These being technocracy, cyborgism, transhumanism and eugenics to name but a few. However, many may see this is progress.
To explain my use of the quote above in the image; a theme I have written about so many times. It would seem in this Universe that a salient factor is change, all is motion although it may seem solid. At a fundamental level of existence atoms and particles are in motion and although infinitesimal are indeed the building block for more seemingly huge dense forms and structures. Here is the paradox; the seemingly small to build the large and the large and seemingly safe solid and safe ground and here for ever and lasting with apparently endurance and years of life. Yet simple investigation will see that everything in motion has to have its dual or complimentary side of motionless and stable.
There is this urge for many of us to want to live for ever and ever amen and to live in this body as youthful and vigorous with eternal youth. Perhaps because of the pleasure it affords and is the KNOWN and seemingly solid and safe. Yet lurking in the dim background of the unconscious lies this predator coming out of the deep to snaffle and purloin the body to death and finality. Either oblivion, hell, heaven or some sort of afterlife.
It is the fear of uncertainty in the UNKNOWN, the fear of oblivion and lets face it in oblivion there is no fear to be experienced for one has no faculty to experience anything, in fact some contemplate this as extremely satisfying while others shiver at the very thought of it. Then those who believe in an afterlife, often reasoning; well look a creator would not create all this only to wipe us off the board so to speak and for a sick joke, a sort of trick or treat. Then some may say we have been born in this incarnation to a sentient aware conscious body in order to deal and feel comfortable with the Unknown and impermanency and transient nature of existence in whatever form of capsule we or the conscious awareness is indeed cocooned and swaddled in.
When one truly realises there is no safe ground, perhaps a God or Creator who in ITSELF is realising there is no Safe Ground for the Creator may surmise 'how did I get born as I cannot find an answer to this, I will create a huge and ongoing Universe and prove I exist because I create and maybe amongst the plethora I will find myself'?
For me that is not satisfactory and leaves me more confused. Well all of this is reasoning and logic and is the realm of programming, agendas, beliefs and are passed down through culture, religion, politics and as I see it this madness of endeavouring marriage of machine and man, domination through technology which affords every person alive to have no privacy and constantly under surveillance affording the elite the voyeurism, perverted lust of utter dominance and putting themselves in a position to manufacture organs, build limbs and survive for ever by constantly renewing themselves through organ or mechanical means. They are indeed afraid of DEATH and impermanence THEY HAVE indeed realised there is NO SAFE GROUND so they are attempting to make everything safe and known for ever. Mind you that is a comforting thought and feeling---yet there maybe just and inkling, a tinge of fear, a slight tremor in this quest CAN WE REALLY do it.
I feel they might achieve a modicum of success and I have a sneaking feeling that The Universe will prove THERE is no SAFE Ground and when one discovers through meditation and goes beyond human made thought no matter what concoction or scientific potion by the finest quantum computers and truly experience NO MIND then perhaps this maybe the answer, not a specific logical formulae or equation but a deep knowing and it does not have a reason or explanation, it is a intimate intuitive feeling and does not need proof or logical technical explanation and thesis.
One feels safe deeply and succinctly in an intuitive mode if one can say mode and is at rest and in peace with NOT having anything safe and there is not any or base or foundation nor ground either----can I explain it , absolutely not, does it matter not really so what is left? You tell me !!!?
