Knowledge is Life

Its nice to know

I'm attempting to present a view here … that's not reliant on any material or document … I have encountered before. I am therefore creating a reliance entirely on my insights … and my choices in expressing them a certain way. Indic bards … engaged their creative resources in this area … to express their views as the legends of the Gods … which I think took place around 1500 bc. Its the way they managed … the ' child ' as living creature … and had no other tools of learning … unlike our experiences today.

 

The issue centers around knowledge … and it concerns life. Its the way we manage our knowledge of self and the world … and bring some assurance to ourselves … that we know … and are therefore secure in our ability … to respond to our needs and the needs of others. The loss of knowledge … or when we are in a state of being ' clueless ' … produces considerable anxiety … and prolonged periods of such an experience … resembles a sense of the ' walking dead.'

 

It appears to me … that man's early knowledge of the self … was based primarily on the reproductive energies. These combined with the trees … the anima … the seasons … and the physical growth of the individual … to create a theme about life … that became the supranormal life … of the being. This area has not received any special emphasis in our academic studies. And we encounter this today … in the life of the human child … that forms such ideas that are consistent … with engaging our minds … as the created being … and its right to do so … under any circumstances.  

 

Its the free flowing mind of creation … unencumbered by social conventions … or the laws. It engages its body … as the living experience … to such thoughts … and is therefore reliant on the needs of its body … to define its life. It may well be the basis of the pleasure principle … pronounced by Freud. And by extending such practices to the social environment … society cultivates such … stipulations … that are consistent for the management of an orderly society.

 

In the native environment … it brought into prominence one individual as chief … and thereafter … drew a line to the mind of the chief … as being the defining and guiding principle of life. It extended to the rule of kings … the theocratic leadership … and is today popularly practiced as the parliament of the mind … of society. To the teen … teen fads and interests … especially in the adoration of … 30 year Gods (*1) … produce a similar passing fancy.

 

Fathers in the home … are subject to such a condition … in their personality … particularly in relation to the children … that are growing up. It forms an environment they battle … to redirect the production based energies … in the direction of social norms … but leave enough in the child … to undertake some self learning themselves. It produces a curious impact on the mother … and she is left to discern the mind of the father … via the dynamism of the family relations.

 

In viewing the actions of the father … the mother is not unlike a scientist … observing a phenomenon taking place … and creating notes of its outcome. Her point of observation … is a curious one. Indic texts suggests a second breath in the body … from bile sources(*2) … that's used to feed life in the reproductive units. Such a life is observed to be inactive … and does not identify itself with the physical environment … but makes contact with the passions.

 

 As a view of a person's condition … this perspective from the life of the reproductive units … has been engaged by men of the cloth … mystics … scientist … women … and children … but presents itself as an associate to the main life of the individual. Its the instrument of faith. Its expected to be the basis of the evolving life … from the time when mammals were created. Today it engages our attention … as a new tool of understanding … in our social relations … and in understanding the human specie.

 

Our societies have no doubt been engaging the issue … of the rights of such individuals … of the second life. As the main life of the individual … the male has been brought to considerable attention regarding his responsibilities … and in some cases … cut to size … from the lofty sociopathic appeals of the mind … that has always sensed such a relation within … but considered it its prerogative … as a male. 

 

In the achievement that the male undertakes … to understand the phenomenon … he realizes that he has made a new friend … from the second life … and from the point of such a realization … we work with the needs and qualities of the second life … to find a new balance in our relations. Such a balance would take us away from the early personalities of the male … who views any threat on his normal perceptions … as a threat to his life … and is likely to respond with aggression.

 

The reward for such an effort is knowledge … and knowledge is life. However … such a knowledge that we seek today … from the volition of the individual himself … without the guide of priests … or the bards of yore … is unique in society. It engages the need to quit on past habits and conditions … and to remake the man … in the knowledge that we have come to view … as the human condition. It is the great pastime of the age.

 

For the woman … its a ringside seat to the greatest show on earth … and its possible to form a deep attachment to such a position. In doing so … the second life calls to her to deepen her role in that experience as the mother of progeny. But her initial encounters with the guides … sometimes causes such a scare … that she storms the male personality … to take it on as her own. In a less urbanized experience … she may find the opportunity … on the basis of social self-oriented practices … to help her accomplish her goals.
