Atoil by Sheldon Koch
Does a human's thought default to a rational track in which the horses of his mind race for a winner? Or, is it a fight to the death, conceding only when its counterparts have died. The mind of man is not an infinite thing but a rescource to be used, and used up. We can only ensure that one state of mind is present at any given time, and so. How can we ensure that the right idea has won its jockey? To be the victor among death. Is it default then that as everyone thinks, the thought they beleive is the winner amoung a sea of death? Or, is it the sole moment of enlighentment, like a god blessing our mind with the divine right of knowledge. Depending on which you believe, then we must asume that our words speak for the death of critical thought, or the belief that our minds have been blessed by the almighty. Decisions are based upon a stack of stones, the first being belief, second being knowledge, third being desire. We cannot apply the stone of knowledge without picking a strain of knowledge to believe in. and once our foundation is built, then that very same knowledge can be applied and built upon. And as we finally crest, our desires encompassing our wants, and our needs place the most weight upon our foundation of beliefs and in turn, decides whether the stacked stone stay or fall. But what if a stone is rotten? If there is a crack upon a single stone than the balance is broken. Maybe this is how we think, as countless statues of virtuous harmony in psychic balance unfolds, those faulty to our own conlcutions, and in turn desires fall and crumble away. In metaphor, they die, or loose there race.
This is at hard contrast to the absolutism of the world around us. We know that our collective mother is all knowing because it is based purley in ration. The tree falls because a storm fell blew upon its face. Therefore its roots are dug from the ground as gravity acts upon its skin, dragging it to the earth. It is a great interest that our minds which are made of the same matter that this mother is comprised of can juxtapose the rational process that nature only knows. The irrational ration of rational fluidity everso present within the mind of our most advanced beings is at detriment to our understanding of thought. It is to be understood that the highest form of understanding is achieved after the absolute and total concession of thought. Our mother does not think, she does.
Finally, I think it is important to recognize the problem with this text. Surely the point of thought, and the ability bestowed upon humans for it, isnt to understand the truth, and to be completely rational, but oppisolty to be spontaneous, to act upon the whims of ones mind as this, is the closest we humans can get to rationality all along. It is the pursuit of rationality and its logical thought that is at a direct opposite to our ability to achieve that same train of thought.
