Poimandres

There is a very particular meaning derived when one seeks to examine the peculiarly poetical power of light in relation to mind.

Naturally, the principles of the classification system humans derive as necessity are promoted, in some fashion, by the degrees of inclusion within the constraints of the game itself.

The degree to which you understand the mechanics of Being is directly proportional to the depths of your humility in the face of this understanding.  Nothing is in and of itself describable to the fullest extent.  Where language fails, where words cease to derive meaning or primacy, we should allow image to take the wheel, and metaphor is itself wholly derived from this pathway and inclusion.  Time, it will be proven again and again, is not linear, at least not in the sense that proponents of Freudian or Einsteinian models once quibbled through in their respective fields.  Time is in fact simultaneous.  The All-Now described by Gnostics as The Pleroma. 

If that omnipresent background proves to be folding and collapsible, and human being's relation to mind and light both individually and collectively, then it stands to reason that, as the neural pathways of a single human brain outnumber the collective stellar activities of the known universe, and that which is above is like that which is below, then any seeming action or activity, regardless of moral implications, works according to the omnipresence.

To this end, Good and Bad are naturally little more than labels, and the visual systems crowding aesthetic theory are matters of divination best left to the Oracles and arbiters of good taste and sound judgment. 

In retrospect we view the Ancients as backwards and brutish, lacking our sophistication or technological achievements, see their associations of gods and goddesses to locations and corporeal forms as limiting, and prescribe our own phantasms to the realm of action in such a manner that the invisible world, the molecular and spiritual, goes unrecorded, disregarded, and inconsequential.

That "treasure in the realm of shadowy thought" as Kant put it, or " the archetype" as Jung put it, is often a projection we overcompensate for, creating an imbalance in our perceptive capabilities and applying neurosis to the collective rather than the individual, where it originates.

And with regards to Esoteric Essay Blogging, the act of E.E.Bs, we so often seek out regions form submissions and end up being dominated.  Balance for the Whole is sought and even on rare occasions found.
