Past, present and future - Philosophy, technology, art and society at large

Blossoming
What was visible is transfigured, what was invisible becomes visible. Creation as an act of forgetfulness. Creation as a fictional break within the continuous process that is the substance of reality. Where we leave the known for the unknown, and where we are the mightiest resistance. Setting a new perspective, setting new values, setting a new metric and then overflow out of it. As inclusive it (what we break from through forgetfulness) is, as powerful the creation is. And that is worthy – no matter what we do.
Continuous strive for inclusiveness and for powerful creation. No longer the unbreakable chain of cause and effect but greatness and nobility. Or contentment and numbness. Action or reaction. Choosing the type of life we want to live if, and only if, we must. No reasons are then needed – we know that it is for beauty, awe, and respect. It is being the sun, a thunder, an ocean. And saying thanks.
Rest is a cycle of the pulsing and swinging and resonant process of creativity. It is a mean for growth, and inclusiveness, and for preparing the fictional break and the forgetting of a worthy creation. Are you strong enough, are you fearless enough to extend your personhood and include the whole world, the entire reality?
Extended personhood – what you see, what you know, the totality of history and prehistory and the reality you can think of and you can not think of. It is the fluidity that takes us beyond death, and includes it. It is a bow that extends beyond representation, and requires a new arrow, and a new leadership.
A new leadership of willing the past and what has once been imposed to our different selves. Point to the future so that the past has the meaning of what we are – all of it. It is accepting the father and the mother of history, it is becoming adults and accepting the desire to desire that comes with our mirroring consciousness, it is merging the real and the apparent, and dissolving the meaning of reaction, and other-life narratives. It is accepting that nihilism is a worthy enemy that needs to be overcome.
Complexity and leadership. Rationality and mimesis. Learning and creativity. Technology (of memory) and art. Domestication and nomadism. Consciousness and extasis. Control and chance. Morality and revaluation. Geometry and mythology. Pain and pleasure. Rigidity and fluidity. Equality and hierarchy. Nihilism and values. Death and life.
Swing between shifting and opposite polarities. And look. Extend the bow – with long and short cycles. And measure. Explore life as if it were a counterpoint. And transform and accept the fate that you are carrying. Stop searching – and learn how to find.
