UNDERSTANDING

An orgasm is on offer --
Would you rather understand it, or HAVE it?

Understanding truly is the booby-prize.

Understanding is an attempt by the Mind to get a fence around the boundless,
To control the uncontrollable.

The illusion is that Understanding affords Security.


Life was never, ever designed to be to be understood;
It is meant to be lived! 
The search for understanding is OK as a pastime;
It rates somewhere about the same level as crosswords and Trivial Pursuit
I know one or two people who understand everything;
They are true arseholes,
And they know nothing.

Understanding is a blunt scalpel that kills the experience,
Like the botanist who dissects the flower --
It's structure is comprehended,
Knowledge has been extracted
(At the expense of Knowing.)
Now its beauty is butchered  and its perfume has evaporated --
The flower is dead.

To know a flower
Be first the poet who loves the flower,
Then be the awareness that becomes the flower.
This is how God creates and knows all things --
She becomes them.

To truly know any experience,
Set your mind to watch from the sidelines;
Then immerse yourself into the experience, and
Be-come it:
Allow that to happen
