Home: Being Alone in Relationship
A believing person incites the same in others: make-belief. A knowledgeable person teaches the same to others: tunnel-vision. A dogmatic person bestows the same upon others: self-talk. The same applies to a desirous person as well as to anyone who has something to convey. What does one do who speaks to the inborn: listening… Is listening bound by what is believed in, known and desired? Is listening derived from having something to convey? Listening does not speak to anything but the inborn: awareness. The primordial garden of Eden anyone comes to rest in deep and dreamless sleep, awareness beholds what home denotes: being alone in relationship. Relationship is the process, aloneness is the witness of what has and is become aware: the inborn nature of the existential givens… To ransack aloneness from relationship results in the autoimmune disorder humans are ensnared by: division. Born from confusion, division is had by divorcing aloneness from relationship. Everyone relates to one another to become aware of what is: that is the inborn nature of outward circumstances. The data processing of evolution; from genesis to gender and ideology to insight, relationship is as dependent in origination as H2O in contrast to aloneness… Everyone is home alone in relationship; be it acknowledged or dismissed. To ward against aloneness strangulates the inborn from dawning on the horizon of consciousness: awareness. Effectively, home is looked for beyond the stars, reduced to progeny, trade bargained for making a living and battled over in the name of love, peace and harmony… To ransack aloneness from relationship makes for the tailspin of past and present human history: bloodshed, warfare and genocide. Become aware of the inborn by embracing aloneness for the sake of humankind, which denotes neither an evolved monkey nor a sinful soul that has fallen from on High... Anyone is bound to go haywire who mistakes their genus for a product, their sense for a success story, their self for a performative contradiction and their sex for a battle of the fittest. Sense, self, sex denote intelligence, integrity and intimacy respectively; inherent qualities that distinguish the human genus from their autohypnotic programming of socio-cultural and military-industrial conditioning… Listening; the aloneness in relationship; the intuition of being here; the midwife of awareness. Listening; not a place to reach, a creed to claim, a real estate to own nor a philosophy of everything… Present in the absence of grasping, listening is as barren of understanding as aloneness is of relatives. Be home in aloneness over falling for the morass of metaphorical unity. Be home in the alone for the preciousness of relationship…
PS: Spellbound and mesmerized by what is unquestionably taken for granted, is this planet the birth cradle and home of humankind or might they have overtaken this globe due to either wanting to have a graspable home on their own behalf or out of attachment to it? Lost in daydreams and had by nightmares, humans have pulled the proverbial rug under their feet since they can talk; from Amun Ra and Anubis to Ahura Mazda and Ahriman, Arjuna and Bhishma to Cain and Abel and from Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca to present-day Ukraine and Russia et cetera... As such, humans can frame and judge themselves in the way they do without ever considering the latent possibility that their self-destructive behavior might be caused by having set up shop against and in opposition to their inborn nature. Fluid as water and airy as the wind, human nature is as distinct in the absence than the presence of grasping as distinct empathy is from envy, compassion is from comparison and recognition is from ransack... In nature, humans are as good as ave, as true as awe and as beautiful as art. Listening pre-dates the lores and mores of what is known, believed in and desired on the grounds of want, wish and will to the same degree as the ever-present origin pre-dates time and space. Listening is invaluable; aloneness is immeasurable; awareness is infinite...
