Discourse on Agency Memo: Of The Stuff We Generally Know But Refuse To Admit
Whether you configure all of existence into realms of meaning or take that "matter" and compartmentalize it into whirlwinds of floating signified nothingness, we have to take into consideration that perhaps ALL is not as finite and knowable as we would like to believe.
We're talking about the all-encompassing "mind-fuck." Forgive my language but in many ways we have allowed all sort of ideological matter (ranging from the physical to metaphysical) run the manner in which we conceive the world, despite the eventual contradictions that challenge us in unimaginable -- sometimes scary -- ways. I add, that culturally we may have given a negative connotation to the word "contradiction," but in its true nature it is that very essence of discord that we must embrace and acknowledge rather than fear and ignore. The implications of the latter of course is that our systems of beliefs and values would be radically altered and thus to avoid such tension, we remain in a state of fabricated "comfort."
WHO are those in time, that have managed to actualize this philosophical conundrum and place it in practice?
WHO are those who have been silenced for it?
There is a reason I cannot sleep at night -- it is a haunting feeling of all that is much much more powerful than I will ever be. In its own right, it is the unknowable, the indescribable...that abstract movement among the celestial spheres of which we would have to venture far beyond language just to even hold it within our being -- and that is where we are placed in an area of existential meandering. But I've been talking in abstractions of which I rely on cosmic (both in nature and size) terminology -- what about the focus on the inward? Cells, the atom, protons, neutrons, electrons, quarks, strings, etc. It seems like a question of relativity because if you go far enough -- the two might be more inseparable than we had imagined -- the smallest orginisms of being and the largest -- conntected -- both of which we might not even have come close to realizing. Again, this goes back to your own willingness to venture out in these matters as it applies to your own set of societal injected ideas.
But that's kind of the point -- the question of meaning.
Lets talk about agency...
Lets enact agency...
The past is haunting just as much as the present (the Truth) is scary; but there isn't much use in simply sitting around in fear or complacency. There's a multi-tonal, mult-faceted cosmic tone resonating within the vivid chords of humanity; it's begging us to stand up and fight for our minds and our hearts.
