An exploration of the known!

We quickly aimed to learn to do what we need to do in order to make sense of the world about us. As we do so we are helped through our schooling system and other education teach us those things to get by in the world arena.

The crude system about us soon makes us into a beast which easily learn that success comes with being alert like a parrot to do those activities which help our navigation through life. Success comes to those who swiftly adopt and apply and makes use of the ins and out of what is on offer. Intelligence is measured in terms of the recalling and regurgitating of what is thrown at us. Knowledge becomes a form of parroting the essentials and not only using but abusing the genres about us. The expert or specialist is no more one who has adapted and makes use to one’s advantage what the system has devised.

All these are popularly known as application of the facts which is assimilated and using our intelligence and mental faculty at working within the confined of the known.

The better one is at manipulating the forms the more successful one would become. On this view, life is a constant appraisal of how to be in within the perimeter of what has been set as standard. That standard gives us a set of guidelines to be followed within a system which merely reinforces our beliefs systems. That there are so many forms within the bigger system is there for all to see but the crude always finds that what one knows to be a fait accomplit…. All set and done and why not as after all it is a manipulation of this in many ways which b rings success to its adherents.

Even more successful are those who manage to somehow aim at manipulating what is on offer through a strict and rigid approach. The better one does it the more elevated one becomes where one is hailed through becoming a leader of the populace and the latter adores the skill with which one displays either within the physical, mental, or other artistry whether it be music the arts or sports and the few are hailed as idols within society. Such are the ways the world. In being able to master what is required; suddenly one awakes form anonymity into stardom.

Others noticing the inherent problems may see the lack and protests by rejection of the forms instead of seeking a comprehension of the forms. What the other represents is so easily seen and so either one withdraws and seeks solace in other parallel  forms equally as potentially spurious ways and sure it is a fallacy that there may be a full proof format as a narrow and straight path which some claimants always sees as being the way! To be indulged in any form means that as  long as one is okay one may sod the rest. That what a system preaches its adherents ultimately where one follows a belief system whether it be secular or otherwise all have the same malady of ignoring and or forcing one to be what one is not as one walks about in conceited ways and adopting a truncated reality which debases others.

The test is not so much that others within ‘my’ family or group, party or such other is better but when the test come such a saliency at the test makes one withdraws in a ghetto of being. In that ghetto, what matters is oneself full stop.

That we operate within such a system is all so obvious. Knowledge is  a simple recollection  and the ability to make use of it intelligence: unfortunately these often gets confounded and the system deem the intelligent knower as the one who has mastered a technique and make it work and thereby achieve recognition whether it be the arts or business politics and or a film star or religious leader… bearing in mind that the system always wants us to be at the top of the hierarchy. At the same time, one also knows that such a system only account for the few who may be able to make sense of the ways of the world and be there.

That is how things are around oneself or what is revealed upon awakening in the crude world. Learn it fast, adopt and apply. No need to make sense of it but just try and be a specialist or expert at doing some thing and success is guaranteed.

With this being so; there are millions across the work who readily seek to apply the norms as are revealed in the conditioned world where existence seems to be measured by the being diligent partially. Or this is the format which are presented to be successful.

To operate in the known that is all one require: However, on a different level away from the transactional mode of being in a fiercely competitive form; there is another realm; albeit an unexplored one which call on the self to go above and beyond the realm of the known where knowledge is to be sure not about a partiality or a superfluous form but of a more complete form.

That knowledge is not of a specialist kind but at seeing the whole rather than the parts. It is not about aiming to be like the Jacks /Jones or Mandys /Priyas  for that matter. It is simply about calling for a pause in one’s life and doing a bit of reflection at that level of the mind where one is most creative.

As the blogger/writer, I am not proposing to give and or provide an instant solution to the idea of making sense of the world. That is for the other to find out and rediscover at the question of to be. Do I accept everything thrown at me or is there a different realm from the known? : More particularly am I content with the known as revealed in the crude or is there something more which is non partial … of a non-specialist/expert type. The call is indeed to rise above the known and explore further rather than accepting as ‘knowledge’ whatever may be thrown at us. Is that possible? May one venture further? Or am ‘I’ of a closed mind which accepts and or rejects at the outset?
