About Me

This blog is essentially about two narrative topics that are or will be more important to us in the near future, chaos and determinism. To quote Edward Lorenz, "Chaos: When the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future.” and, oddly, William Faulkner, "The past is never dead. It's not even past." Strangely, both succinctly declare what this blog is all about and how chaos, determinism, and the past along with sentience or awareness are in process of generating human subjective experience--again, the life of each one of us as it is lived. This blog seeks to humanize our language of experience and to help us focus on experience at the expense of an undue prioritizing of theory over experience.

If...

If you are not hanging by a thread,

Perhaps meditation will help.

 

The tenderness of the heart is extremely vulnerable. How far are you willing to go into vulnerability? Any defense will gradually become a fortress and hide you from you, the innermost, impersonal you that feels some of the deepest human suffering. Our suffering is so important. When one accepts that the vulnerable is truly what unites us as human beings we can cry for the other as much, if not more, than we cry for ourselves. How deeply does your suffering go? Does it connect you to others? It can, but only if you are willing to allow it to flourish. What do I mean by that? Why do we cry? What is at its root? Will you take a good look? If you do, then you must be willing to change who you are.
