Ng Rippel Poet Monoku

Pervasive

what is the true pattern of consciousness in this immense universe?
how far into the overwhelming breach has awareness been dispersed?

in the depths of exhaustion, the dark silent stillness nourishes me
universe is full of entities which act surreptitiously

from ignition, our sun has shown each second of every cosmic day
particle exchange has long been the source of our universe's headway

those traits which exemplify humans have uneven distribution
we reside in the crucible of universal evolution

constant flow within our cosmos is mainly a matter of valence
we expand level of consciousness through reality's surveillance

earthly prophets proclaiming simplicity makes words more persuasive
biota which our planet has generated became invasive
providing sudden realization existence is pervasive

David Kavanagh December 23, 2022 at 9:03 AM Your Monoku goes to great strains NG to explain the origins of conscious existence being perhaps an inevitable consequence of this universe, both are indeed intrinsically linked, but at what level, to me it’s on a quantum one, and are inseparable, they must be eternally the base and pinnacle of the same entity, or vice versa, some well written ku’s here, cheers David David Kavanagh December 24, 2022 at 1:41 AM I’d never try extract ourselves from the universe, we are part of it, however minuscule that may be, and so long as unresolved scientific observations and paradoxes remain, I must too remain in the grey area, it’s a useful (tool) to keep an open mind, happy holidays cheers David Ng Rippel December 23, 2022 at 5:03 PM Unsurprising that a much smaller/more fragile entity might reflexively respond to our attempts at measurement/observation. There is no way to extract either ourselves/tools from the universe. Just as we, the rest of the universe is constantly evolving and moving. Not all physics, either. Try "Brain cell somatic gene recombination" for example. David Kavanagh December 23, 2022 at 1:48 PM Thanks for the reply NG, but science has shown, when an observer measures a particular property of a particle, they are effectively collapsing the wave-function of that particle, causing it to assume a definite state, in other words conscious observation does have an eerie effect on defining reality, that is why I believe they are inseparable and eternally linked! Ng Rippel December 23, 2022 at 12:13 PM Not strain. That entity is the universe. Of which we are a minuscule part. Consciousness arises from the drive to understand the rest of the universe and our place/role within it.
