Possible Titles: 'Vanity of Grace' or 'Graceful Singularity' or 'Quest for Singularity'(?)

 

Intelligence is a Vanity that seeks consistency

through the resolution of Differences.

 

(Some call this process -- Dialectic)

 

For without the existence of Differences,

Judgment, itself,

has no context

from which to Judge.

 

And therefore the Emotional Sympathies,

which once graced the shoulders of Judgment

are no more.

 

 

And as this Connection of Dots transpires,

it finds a Newness of Flow,

that Thinks Less with each Hop,

as it Nurtures it's Wanderlust

for a Graceful

Singularity.

I've been think about the stealthy appeal of the Yin-Yang symbol,

(which maintains it's vibrancy through black&white)

-- even to those of us who attempt to reduce all phenomena,

to the simple, linear math found in shades of grey.

I view it as an (using a word I hate) Existential tug of war

between two very different sets of metaphors.

Two very different religions, so to speak.

Two shadow-phantoms  of spirit-quest.

And since we are speaking here – about ourselves,

Two different Vanities, within one desire:

two different Jealousies of God...

...of his role as creator of Pure From,

which exists in the physical world -- at best,

as Imperfect Metaphor

The Serpent whispered to Eve:

“one bird in the hand is worth two in the bush”,

so faith is no longer required.

And I will give you the power to Create

life itself.

And for Adam, I will give him a plastic world,

from which to 'Create',

and we'll call his child culture.

And this second child, will be a metaphor of the first,

and together, both can serve as diversion,

by arguing which is the more important :)

(')

To paraphrase Edwin Howard Armstrong,

not long before his untimely demise:

~'Man substitutes words for realities,

and then marvels at his ability to talk about his words '

And through this gradient of terminology,

falls the ash of wisdom

that Vanity had ignored.

(')

...then Eve asked the Serpent:

“But how do we satisfy our desire -- our lust,

to be creators of Perfect Form?”
