Googledegook

A life lived and thereafter reviewed for contemplation of issues presents many fine points of experience that's unchanging in the landscape of the mind. A person so contemplating on its meaning engages such points as a reference point for his awareness of himself as an individual and thereafter the social and world perceptions of life. This may comprise the map he utilizes to draw on information … especially from the information superhighway on the web.

To approach the web in any other way … is to encounter the new monster … I refer to as Googledegook. A person's guide to handling this huge information overload … is to simply rely on what they are looking for … and to bring themselves to examine every piece of information critically and thereafter to create such acceptance as they are prepared to commit themselves to … as reflective of the probabilities in their own mind.

I've not mentioned this before and perhaps I should … it'll also serve as an illustration of the way I have pursued pieces of information on the web … based on me as the source … not the web. I had grown up with an older sister with whom I was close in my youth. We shared a common interest to want to know … but after her marriage she quit on that and pursued her responsibilities of the family.

This came up again in my contemplations many years later … while I was still balancing a career and my own individual studies. It appeared like a mental block and it caused me months of anguish. Then suddenly one day … when I thought I was going to drop with exhaustion … I experienced an opening in my passions … in which I caught the anxiety and rage of a young girl … who was in a position of great power … had problems with her brother … and was in some way in contact with a God experience to help her. It was curious to me that she did not have a clear gender differentiation with her brother.

Okay … I thought … its one of those … total delusions … a mess … and I'm going to be in for it. In the meantime I'm surfing the web hoping to catch a bite … and ' heavens be praised ' I stumbled into a site of the only female pharaoh in the entire Egyptian history … with the exception of Cleopatra. This was Hatshetput. When her father died … the brother had thought himself a natural for the Pharaoh position … but she had a vision of Ammon … and figured it was a sign for her.

I read as much as I could … including some studies undertaken about her by a university. Then it was on to Ammon. Thereafter I left it alone and let it work itself out … and that it did … like there was a dream alive in me … seeking to understand itself. I stood outside the house one time … looked up at the sky and asked ' what are you trying to tell me?' It was one of my first connections to the world … in which I saw it not so much as me and the world … but the world as a living, thinking, loving individual.

It helped me sort out the deal on the memories of my sister by telling me I'm digging in the wrong place. It was a total substitution of events and helped me move on in my studies. That was the beginning … and the associated events brought me to Osiris, the Sumerians, then the relation between Ammon and the Indian demi-God Vengada Salapathi … wow! … then I went back … moved a little slower … and followed the trail … in my passions … from Thoth in Egypt to the Indic puranas, the Avesta, Mahavira, Buddha, the Mahabarata, Jesus, Mohamed, Siva and to the phenomenon of the mother Goddesses in 16^th C India.

I continue to do that these days … it starts with me … and then I seek some back-up, documentation if any … then create a relation between me and the world that way. In consequence … my writings are my adventures … but is simply a conversation I have with others I know would find such an experience curious. Is this knowledge? I don't think so … it refers to what one person came to find about himself … and what appears to be the long journey of the soul in life … as it moves through the throes of evolution to perfect itself.

The guides I received regarding Hatshetput … is stuff I view as the dreams of people before. The information in Wikipedia and scientific research abstracts represents what we in the academic tradition refer to as knowledge … in the way social convention allows us to do. And in bringing it into expression with folks in WC … its simply conversation. It appears to me they may be following their own dreams. To stay organized this way helps … when engaging Googledegook … and to keep our feet firmly on the ground.

My early writings on poems such as Dementiata, Debedes Knone, Wic and Her Wrought Wit, Hatshetput … are reflections of my early experiences of being ' adopted by the world ' so to speak. They rattle with the excitation I used to feel … and bring themselves to a wide scope of view … delivered as is where is … with the impromptu consternation I experienced. Its the beginnings of mind in relation to dreams.
