The Dance of Perception
A seeker’s journey through night and day
We tend to think that nights are the fertile noetic soil for answers.
By “we’’ I’m referring to us more-introvert-than-extrovert seekers who dedicate much of our energy following a question, or swirl around it, dig into it, look at it from many angles.
Nighttime is definitely a field that helps processes like that, because there is less external information and distraction.
But the truth is that daytime is equally suitable.
When we are ready to see, we see;
no matter which side of the Earth is the Sun flirting with.
When are we ready to see, really?
Can a question eat up the questioner?
It can, and it also can’t.
Don’t these both enlighten the seeker?
Every path ends up with the questioner/answerer perceiving the answer that was born along with the question, but was just uncaught by their attention. They hadn’t witnessed it, yet.
Can the act of witnessing exist without the witness and the witnessed?
Oh, this mathematical operation!
“Is it an endless riddle?”, I wonder.
Perceiver + perceived = perception
A beautiful torture to ponder.
