The Body, Mind, & Lies

Although the body & mind can be conceptualised as distinct they are inextricably linked.

The body gives expression to the mind’s longing, just as flowers express colour as a means to birth others.

The body, & therefore the mind, will always find a way to take the path of least resistance,

& belongs entirely to causation; to the eternal unfolding of consequence in which chance & predetermination somehow co-exist.

The mind must decide how to live with this: knowing that our autonomy is that of autumn leaves…

So we lie to ourselves because no one else can carry this burden for us.

This is not wisdom.

It is observation as sutures to a wounded conscience.

It is conscience as consequence of impotent revenge,

& impotence as unconscious attempt to make amends.

So, don’t let these words fool you: I know nothing about Truth.

I know only what occurs within me as I play my small role in eternity.
