Do we really want to know?
I think that ultimately we already do know, it's already within us. And, actually, I think there is not that which is outside of us and then that which is within. In some respect, I think that when we look to the stars, for example, and somehow glimpse an otherworldy view from somewhere else than earth, that we are actually seeing a reflection of what is within us. Our perspective though organizes it in a way that sometimes seems to be spacially outside of our reach.
However, I think that who we are scares us as I believe we are individually infinite and eternal. We look inside of ourselves and there is no bottom, there is no top, there is just space ... and what seems like darkness. It seems like an abyss. And so our protectors come in and create floors and cielings to give us some kind of feeling of stability, so we can walk around and function in our daily lives. I don't think this is bad, and I don't promote that we dive into ourselves head first without one hand on the sword. But, I do think that we are forced to break the floors and ceilings, whether we would like to or not.
Today I hear geese and frogs, and I like that. I have now cleared two raised beds and have "tilled" the soil. I have pulled some major dandelions that have been cluttering the path ... and it seems a garden is truly going to be happening this year. I am excited, but I find that now I am having a difficult time deciding what to grow and exactly where. It's a funny thing, now that I am clearing the raised beds, I want to save them from having plants in them, and think about planting veggies everywhere else around the yard... go figure ! It's similar to a time when I had a clean scrub brush to wash the floors and bathtub with, and didn't want to use it because it would get dirty, so I had a dirty one, too, which I used to actually clean things with.
