yuh know in the end, at some future qualitative intellectual point of , when from the massive quantitative development we are undergoing we are bound to see deeper 'secrets' of what nature has been doing, how nature works and a ton will become clear.
egotistically some are bound to 'see' and boast that finally man knows everything, the theory of everything, the end of history...now we know!
but we wont know...because even from the brilliant moment when out minds lit up, the night fell away and the sky went bright, from the nano and the scintilla of a second nature moves on again...indeed did not stop to tell us anything, revealed anything to us. things work like that...build up, increase, gets larger and larger then bam! clarifies, or changes quality and we see.
but it is not nature telling us anything. it is relative again in that we want to know, need to know and are focused on finding out and we work at it increasing our knowledge all the time.
and as such we are bound to come to points of clarity on what we are focused on.
that underpinning everything is a principle of simplicity that if we had cottoned from the start we would have long figured out the 'puzzle..we would would have understood that nature is supremely efficient, and that finally we should expect this simplicity to underlie everything as we go.
I guess finally we would have learned something useful..the simplicity of natural processes..that nature is well..alive and working in its own interest and somehow our existence is part of that work, process. our question is how do why us, how do we fit and why?
I remember one Saturday morning I bought the racing form for Sunday the next day at Woodbine race track and started to work on it. I had already picked up a taxi to make some money that weekend, working all through to Sunday night.
I selected a race and began to work on it but it was a race of 13 horses and the week end was busy. I had time to focus only on that race in between that Saturday. I had no consistent time to work on it, but managed to pick up the whole race in the bits and pieces of focus. the race was huge an giant puzzle that I agonized over and felt manifestly unprepared as I took a couple of hours off to go to the track.
I had dozed in between for a few hours collectively so I was rested enough but the race was coming up hard and my mind was working on it from Saturday morning. and just like that it all clarified in my head. I knew who was going to win the race. it was the most unlikely horse from the point of view of tradition handicapping.
it was a sprint race, six and a half furlongs for first allowance horses..3 years old and upwards, the kind of races that very lightly quality horses win. tere was a horse in the race that had run only twice. the horse had won its maiden race special weights race first time out at 6 furlongs. then its connections sent it second race out at a mile and 1/16..a very long race its first time versus winners which the horse had no chance of winning at all. it race a terrible race, finished back in the pack then came back and prepped very well for this its third race and second against winners.
what was going on then? the handlers of that horse deliberately sent that horse in the long race it could not win, legged it up, prepped it fast for the cut back in distance to a sprint race. the horse had looked bad and everybody ignored the horse. it went off at 33 to 1 and paid $68 dollars to win.
I bet 50/50 win place. I collected 5200.00 for that bet. and the race was so simple in hindsight. very simple indeed. by pedigree and connections that was the very best horse in the race. the trainer of that horse fooled everybody but me I think. at least he fooled most people.
and the principle is to find the best horse in any and all races but that is full of detail...often too many details to figure out in the time available. myriad detail in the real devil in the piece..how do they all marry up and relate to each other to produce the whole we are faced with...that we must work out if we are to win the prize.
and that whole is a functioning reality, a living fact that has a way of existing in itself, related to and in the total universal life, until the race is run..at which point all the potential from that constellation of existence at that point collapsed down and more instantly emerged from the result of all that had been going on up to that point. there had been a tremendous set up of material existence, alive and full of potential that worked out given rise to even more..expanding all the time.
expansion, always, more every minute of every day. by biology, chemistry, math, metallurgy, agriculture, manufacturing etc..altogether we come to learn what we do of this process. we are driven by the need to survive and that is our approach..our need to survive. that is how we are intended by whatever drives the process.
and what else is so intended, oriented...nature itself. simple!
nature gave rise to us and by nature are we defined. we do not know of any other force and fact of existence that we can put our hands on save nature. all else of any such alleged power...the gods in heaven... are abstract constructions that do all manner of inexplicable and unfathomable things..but whom we have never in fact seen do any dam thing at all. they do not exists those gods.
in fact they are lying, insincere human fabrications calculated by their human creators to fool and control the masses of other human beings, for the express and material purpose of their collective exploitation to take away from them their labour power expended in their own interest and direct such labor power into the production of riches that can be alienated from these masses, directed into enrichment of the creators of the fake gods
all of this is simple..and tiresome..all this god and religion bullshit. and it is so expensive..so many lives lost now for no valid purpose. humans are so blood thirsty, so murderous so skunt greedy we cant see the real prize..how do we survive indefinitely.
we can already produce way too much food and rudimentary needs of transportation, food, clothing, housing. all of these already can be produced in far far more quantity that the needs of 8 billion people alive. how much riches does one person need anyway. sans mal-distribution all needs can be met many times over already. and the key is personal development, the realization of all any human being alive had in them as human.
humanity would be much richer if all alive could be developed and we all gain the benefit of their lives in existence performing in resonant excelsis.
