We can, with our limited minds, speak and write about the ineffable sacred, but whatever we say or write is inevitably inadequate and fragmentary. That sacredness, that immensity, is beyond the cause/effect parameters of this universe. A visitation by it cannot occur to a mind that is heavily conditioned. A mind that is riddled with fears, beliefs, hatred, indifference, disorder, and antiquated patterns cannot be visited by it.
Being beyond cause/effect, it is beyond time. It is an ineffable timelessness that has no beginning and no end. The sacred is not a product of human thought/thinking; so this excludes temples, mosques, churches, cathedrals, beliefs, and man-made rituals. The mind must be free of authority, leaders, and indoctrinating ways for it to occur in consciousness. When the mind is empty of chattering images, conditioned conflict, fragmentation, and symbolic thoughts, then (perhaps) it may manifest.
My Blog primarily consists of close-up nature photos (that I've taken locally) combined with original holistic-truth oriented prose and/or poetry involving mindfulness/awareness. I love nature and I love understanding the whole (not merely the parts and the details). I'm a retired teacher of the multiply handicapped.
I have a number of interesting hobbies, such as fossil collecting, sport-kite flying, 3D and 2D close-up photography, holography, and pets. Most of all, I am into holistic self-awareness, spontaneous insight, unconventional observation/direct perception, mindfulness, meditation, world peace, non-fragmentation, population control, vegetarianism, and green energy.
