Contamination Free

Wafer Fabricated Minds

How does anyone come to say … what they say … about anything? The question … occupies the attention … of every thinking man. I'm referring to the choice of word … the passion that accompanies its expression … both the intended … and the received notion. Then there's comfort … with which its expressed … the ease of style. The look in the eye … that portrays concern … involvement … seriousness. Body language … meaning … context … the perception generated … the recall of past acts … gosh! … the list does go on don't it?

If a man had to think and plan … every act he performs … he'll be left … waiting at the station for the midnight train … that travels in the night. But to take to arms … now … with a tentative view… a determination … decision … knowledge … that's it. Its what we have come to describe as … ' the best of all possible worlds.' We leave that to another instrument in our experience … and then we occupy another spot in our minds … and we observe … take notes … and review.

Its a valid model of thinking! How else does anyone do anything? And yes … it starts with a hunch … and works its way from there. There's an instrument in the high loft … that I've come to name as … SOM ( state of mind ). It brings the acclaimed sense of the ' man of action ' to our table … and before we realize what we are doing … he's got everybody to pledge $ 100,000 for his upcoming campaign

He's not a fast talker … certainly not a hoofer … not slick … but in the way he leaves us … feeling that we are doing it for a worthy cause … we sense … an involvement that warms us to the idea … of life's causes. No … he's not just smooth. It comes from a very real place … in the common mind of things … that reaches out to speak to us on occasion … and makes the impossible … possible.

Had we stopped to review the experience … we find it enthusiastic … vibrant … and is sourced from a place deep in our hopes … for a better world. On occasion … it almost feels child-like … in its belief in expectations. On these occasions … the man who is engineering every ounce of thought in himself … in a planned and laurel headed manoeuvre … to get things done … gets tossed out the window. Its the ' just do it ' … the natural … steering the wheel of destiny … in our lives.

I call it SOM … in an acoustic variation of the term KUL. We've heard about ' Krull the Conqueror ' … which is a variation of the story of Zeus against his father Kronos. Well … KUL … is … how shall I say it? … something in the way … the Greeks used to say … ' the Persians know history.' As if to imply that … they have an intimate relation … with the KUL or SOM … and is brought into … intuitive and innate understanding of situations … from a place … deep in themselves … effortlessly.

A similar application is engaged … by the Oriental to refer to the ' Tao ' … and we find vivid expressions of the experience … in Zen Buddhism … that often describes it by what it is not. In the landscape of life … its also the source of love and romance … the size of which will fill a wide screen cinema … and stays long in our memories … after its gone. To my impression … the SOM … is a place of union … of the qualities of the stars and sun … in our lives. And it forms a fine … relation in respect to the qualities … that fulfill our wide views of life … and shares with us … our cares.

Its a multi-dimensional experience … that involves wave particles … sense perceptions … personas … personalities … and a light of many shades. It brings us together … in the world's experience … listens to us at different levels … and allows us our fancies … even if that's to prove to ourselves … that some things we say … are simply fantastic. But most of all … it takes a special concern about itself … like any other individual … and excites in its own wants and dreams … and is highly mindful of the optimization of what we are … in a universe … in which every resource available … may be engaged for such dreams of fulfillment.

There is a cautionary note. The possibilities for contamination … are considerable … but SOM manages. He brought the lesson to the early Indics … that ignorance … must be viewed in its proper context … for there is no cognizance of intelligence … that is not in relation to its opposite. He implies a flow from one to another ... a suggestion that what's poison to our passions today … was the caviar of flavors … in a time … before there were passions. And despite the allowances he makes … he insists that in working with him … we know what we are doing.

The electronics industry … engages clean room facilities … in specific operations … when its important that the environment is completely … dust free. But it creates no safeguards against bacteria … viruses … that man … as a living house of creative energies … carries on him … daily … in his affairs. How that might create an attitude … an orientation … lights his impulses … and sometimes … wafer fabricate a mind … unmindful … and in association with SOM. But its not SOM himself.

Jesus paused … in his experience of the ' house of God ' … to bring a view to the experience. Others today pursue the experience … with the advantage of past knowledge … and these days we bring it into refinement in surprising ways. All of us return to the SOM … with our experiences and knowledge … and in the process … enrich the quality of life. Whether we return in a clean gown … or muddy boots … none of us is contamination free … but SOM manages. And all of us do it for the fun of it. So … may the SOM … be with you.
