all-night musings
Jan. 25th, 2001 02:31 amThu 25 Jan
Wanted to write earlier this week about the nature of this newfound awareness. Principal observation is that progressively longer periods each day are affected directly by this paradigm shift. That is to say, this understanding has settled in more deeply and in a more permanent way than it ever has before.
I've already said that in other ways this week, but it somehow seems notable again. I wonder if I'm trying too hard to hang on to the "feeling" of it. Must remember to be objective.
Also spent some contemplation time absorbed in a favourite subject: What is it, if anything, that makes us inherently distinct as humans (apart from the obvious)? Also, is the presence or absence of such attributes of any profound significance whatsoever?
Discussing this forces me to become mindful of what exactly it is to which I'm referring. It is imperative that every word from my mouth is the Truth. Various interesting implications re the above in a variety of life situations; e.g. How can you be sure that you're being genuine with yourself when discussing such Goddamned Important Issues? Indeed, how do you even know whom you're being genuine to, or about?
