the wandering fool

 

 

do not lose yourself searching for the world

do not lose god while searching for yourself

do not lose the world while searching for god

omens

 

... and what the very notion of divination?

 

i don't believe in signs. I don't believe that this immense impartial universe concerns itself with the fate of anyone of us motes of stardust, that it is giving us personalised clues as to how to live our tiny transient lives

 

but I do believe in omens

 

omens are the conversation between consciousness and reality, between the self and the unconscious - a conversation in the poetic language of belief

 

a bird is never a sign from reality, but it can become an omen based on what we believe to be true, for reality is the truth that endures whether or not we believe in it, while meaning arises from what we believe to be true

 

we make our own omens by the meaning we confer upon chance events, and it is the making of meaning that makes us human, that makes us capable of holding something as austere and total as the universe, as time, as love without breaking

the physical world, as truth, exists outside of thought

 

but the world, as reality, is a creation of the mind

 

truth and reality do not coincide, contrary to what objectivists believe
