Is Comes

Its a direct translation from the Sanskrit term ' Isvara.' The ' is ' in our lexicon of language refers to the ' present now ' … that which is sometimes referred to as ' real time.' Its found in Zen … and other references … to the engagement of the conscious mind … in the daily activity of life. It appears that … as a society … we might be headed to the adoption of … such a word … and lifestyle … that is to become a mandatory aspect … of life in the future.

 

I believe it was just in the last 50 years or so … that the term came into popular usage … in our social perceptions. Prior to that … it was … ' is?' … ' is what?' … in a comical exposition of the issues … buried deep in the profound nature … of such an experience. But then … the usual fare we encountered … with respect to its meaning … was drawn from sources … that wore bright red gowns … were veggie … and brought a twinkle to their eyes … mixed with the vapors of anxiety.

 

The perspective … on the experience … should be recorded … as the knowledge of man … coming of age. It began with the ' laughing Buddha ' version of its whimsical nature … the ' Mona Lisa ' smile on the face of the mystic … and the ' deep brow ' vision of the saint. But its also about the commonest of experiences in life … if not its very basis. Its also the toothless grin of the baby … the mischief of the adolescent … the vanity of the teen … the gorgeous in women … and the philosophical in men. Its the society … the family … of the one mind of common experience.

 

How we loved … and fought its struggles … is a thought that comes back to me … in the tumultuous variety of its progenic nature. How we played ' here we go round the mulberry bush ' … around its enticing nature … as it drew on our love … knowledge … actions … and achievements in the life. Darwin … in that greying beard of philosophical countenance … announced in the voice of science … ' the discovery of the monkey as man's uncle ' … but it was more than that. It is the merging of man with his creator.

 

How would we describe the experience today? I figure I might do that in reference to the individual natures of man around the world. The Oriental is aware of its twin natures of love and knowledge … and he is often embroiled in its coils. But he brings to the world … the mind of a Hades … melancholic in his relations with the Persephone of his dreams … who loves … and yet is only in love … with a notion … of the man in heaven … but does not as yet fathom its complete revelation.

 

Does love reveal its secrets? Surely that's a contradiction in itself. The revelation is obviously undertaken with respect to the knowledge of love … that is provided by the mind. So when the Oriental encounters the Indic … he is curious to find the Indic search for … the understanding of the phenomenon. He attempts a response to that inquiry … but … ' heavens to murgatroyd ' … the Indic responds with … an enthusiasm for the interest shown by the Oriental … as a companion in the understanding of the mystery.

 

And before we can say ' Boffo the clown ' … they are entwined in its vines … and undertake an avoidance of its thorns … that seek to inquire further into the knowledge of the phenomenon. And like a ripple in the lake of society … it spreads out to the rest of the world. The catalytic nature of children … elaborates and expands that initial experience of continued anxiety … into the minds of families … and seeks an affirmation of its contents.

 

In Africa … man lives close to nature … and comes by intimation into the mysteries of life … by the productive natures of life. He lives as a child of nature … and draws from it … the plainly existing knowledge of life … stored in the latency of love. And when he brings that to the ' deep brow ' saint of the west … working with his scientific models of inquiry … it gathers around the borders of his methodology … without being let in. Here … in the model of the ' is ' of the saint … it brings a suggestion of the way … life unfolded itself … into the manifestation … of specie life … in its variety.

 

It has long been the experience of saints in our disposition … to ponder on the creation and fall of man … in the promises of life. Here man first came to describe … the experience of the ' is ' … from the days of Babylon … as a garden in some way. We say it existed even before that … but our descriptions of it are based on the particle physics theories of waves and ions. But the garden of the earth … is a popular view … and indicated a man and woman … and how they left the garden under a cloud. In the Indic descriptions … its the story of little Krishna … living with his older ' half-imagined brother ' and his parents.

 

In extending both concepts to the physical world today … in the early part of the 22^nd century … we sometimes think that the saint today lives in Britain. Hades shares a curious on-off relation between the Oriental and the African. The children dash about freely in the middle-east and the Indic baffles himself with rituals. Dear … dear … Persephone … poignant and filled with love for life … lives as the feminine incarnate … with them all.

 

But we all do one thing in common … we wait. Certainly its not for more flying cars … levitating cities … or robotic wonders who can do housework. We wait for the miracle of life to come together … in the final and perfect expression of itself … in the life of one individual. That may be a new specie … culled from man … and brought to manifest our dreams and achievement … in the knowledge of ourselves … with the adorations of love that it brings. But not yet … not yet.

Wow! Very dense. I guess I was a little bit lost by the abstract nature of it. Is it mainly talking about the rift between Asians and Africans?

[Dayran]

It takes a decorum to speak of these issues. That's so that we keep in mind the basic equality and oneness of all man. However for those occasions when we appear divergent ... we make sense of it ... in keeping with our oneness. It explains the nature of the write that comes across as dense. A stint with the classics might help.

However in referring to it as abstract may be off the mark completely. The write is an attempt to transform our past thought into an experience of the physical world today. You do show a remarkable intuitiveness about the relations between Asians and Africans. Thanks for the comment.
