Original art by Jill Mattson (used with permission)Knowing and Not Knowing are places of determination of existential consciousness. Friends share what they know and what they see. Anything I say is not intended to become your view. How dull if we did not each have our own precious perspective.
Perspectives are relative, not absolute. I know only one perspective which leads without fail to Wisdom Truth and is the ‘tester’ – compassionate love. Unconditional love and compassion are the essence of what we are, of who we are if we agree that the identity or our ‘we’ is not this body, but rather is in it… a transient occupant.
Man has always struggled with the edge of consciousness – the boundary of knowing and not knowing. This edge is the home of the poet, the essence of gifts brought back from tastes and touches of the other side.
Joseph Campbell concluded that mythology is dead in the modern world – that each is now cast loose from the confines of a predetermined cultural mythos. The poet now assumes the role of provoking awareness of that which is over the edge of what is known.
