~ Always ~

Thinking about Sigmund Freud and his psychoanalysis theories Albert Einstein, and his formulations upon the relativities Playtos pupil, Aristotle.... Michelangelo-the sculptor, painter, architect and poet An endless list written and rewritten, of lives within the pages of time.... Thinking of the human mind, with its boundless spectrums of possibilities All the why's, the what's, and, the what ifs? A universe, yet to be discovered! This amazing realm that we are in; at least to myself, of abstract truth.... For who can know beyond a doubt, the very core of any matter, the absolute!? What mind can hold the ultimate essence, within infinities hands?! Science itself is not even truth-but merely a shadow, at its very best.... And where does this leave me, as I return to this sphere of contemplation? Grasping at particles, as if I could collect them all, while standing...."Amid a dream" Gathering them into a manifestation, of concrete realities? Reality it seems is a futile endeavor-more negative than positive, in the terms of Mathematical economical equation-out of the black and into the red.... John Nash would know more about that-the structures of content, tranquillity and sanity More to be lost it seems, than to be found....to complicate, to overwhelm! It is true that we do need knowledge though, if ever we are to hope To expand, to extend, to be better, to cure and to grow....But therein lies "A dividing line," between knowledge and wisdom-a perspective of ones view!? The big picture so to speak, of the here and now, and the forever to come.... Which leads me back again, to the beginning of this contemplative thought For we must 'all' choose, what ground, we would most want to stand upon!? An old Biblical verse, "We are in this world, but we are not of this world....". {Cont}

Hey to you, John! I will most certainly read the continuation, but I think that to not comment on this first part, would be shameful. It is very profound, and surely one that catch at the minds of it's readers. "we are in this world, but we are not of this world", certainly something that will have me in "contemplative thought" mode.:) God bless you and yours, John! Love to you, Mikki

Well I read this after reading part 2, so I reread it and both ways it was simply outstanding. Lovely last line, so much truth in that one. We belong to God. What's Freud without God and Einstein without faith? Even if they condemned the existence of God there always was a God and there is indeed. Peace be with all of them :) Love~ Chitra
