Rules of the Wild
Blog Post by Pavel Somov - Feb.06.2012 - 8:22 am
Wild horses tame themselves all the time while tamed horses get wilder and wilder.
Life creates and breaks its own rules.
Being human is a good gig. Being humane is a better gig. Enjoy the gig whatever it is.

Nature's Rules
Pavel,
Yet the behavior of both horse categories (wild and tamed) apparently illustrates natural laws/processes consistently at work, making it possible that what is created and broken is a matter of our PERCEPTION rather than actual REALITY.
Brenden
perception is reality
perception exists, doesn't it?
our subjectivity objectively exists (if only for us).
an illusion that exists is not an illusion.
or (here's an oldie but goodie): perception is reality
and (if we want to flip this around a la Heart Sutra style): reality is perception
where does this leave us?
"perception v. reality" is yet another dichotomy to abandon, Brenden
whatcha think?
No certainties or absolutes
Your analysis leaves me thinking whatever knowledge we claim to have is relational and ultimately indeterminable, making our existential predicament one with no certainties or absolutes. Is that where you ARE also?
yes, i am
indeed, that's exactly where I happily/blissfully am
a locale of subjectivity onto my own pseudo-self
a field of unknowing
