Poem -
~ my eyes do not know ~
if clouds are not fluffy and stars
are not places
what then is real, my eyes do not
know
to see and touch flower feels real
to me, but soon enough time
shows me bare earth to see
what then is real, my eyes do not
know, the sky seeming blue
but we know that's not so
when green is a colour that all
cannot see
how then to truly know
reality

Thankyou for your insight and lovely comment Jim x
Very interesting poem Marion, it appeals to my sense of reality, or what I perceive as reality. I kinda feel blind to your poetry, like your describing the flower and its soil to me, I can't see it but I'll build an image of it in my minds eye and take your word as truth, but then what is reality if I'm constructing the world through another's eye. So like God we discussed before, all we are doing is listening to other humans and building our lives around it, reading books on God, learning religion in school, listening to scientists and scholars, constantly shaping and rendering our world. I feel we are making strides in the search for the true meaning of life, I can feel things change, I hope this change will come soon, I think the more we ask ourselves, the more we write about this matter, life will start to make sense. 🙏
Know what...I could probably talk to you for hours. Everything you have said is exactly what I struggle with. You are right...all our opinions thoughts perceptions cannot be original and unique to us as like sponges we absorb the world around us through the eyes thoughts, opinions and teachings of others from the day we are born..just take schooling for example( sausage meat) and then process that information with our 5 puny senses. When it comes to reality I liken it to an amazing story i read about an elephant and 5 blind men asked to describe an elephant that they had never seen. One said it was a spear as he felt its tusk. Another said it was a fan as he felt its ear, Another a wall as he felt its great side. Another a rope as he could only feel its tail, I forget where the other one was but you get the meaning.
None were right and none were wrong but none had an inkling of true reality either. All they could agree on was that it sounded like a trumphet when they all heard it roar. The biggest dissapointment to me growing up was to learn that stars( which i see with my own eyes) are illusion ...often just dead light, their sources long gone. ( if of course the current teachings are true) What then is reality?...indeed. thank you for the lovely comment and...chat x
Yes, the stars we see are just light, brought to us by a lag in time, we are destined to look up to the night sky and be faced with the past, unable to see the future, but, there is a way to see the future. Time is a river, we are on a raft, if we pay attention to the rivers path, we can witness our future but the most magical part of this river is to witness our present, the now, the only moment that matters, the only time that eliminates pain. What is always coming but never arrives? Tomorrow.
Forget about looking at the stars, look within yourself, there are atoms there, DNA that is teaming with life, molecular structure, cosmic entanglement, it's amazing.
The words I write on cosmo are to engage in real conversation, to find like minded humans, thank you for your precious time, and your words so kind.🧡
No one in their write mind could argue, well not for long at least with your proposed peaceful argument so perfectly poemed .. Indeed, I hope a few at least might even see the light .. x
Ah...thankyou lovely man, its good to know you 'see' things my way or rather...the way they truly are...hugs x
Another diamond of a poem here, Marion! We see things and we percieve things ... but sometimes things lie and, as we can all agree, you never know where you are with a liar. Generally speaking, the human mind is a narrow one. x
Yea it is...I remember when my Grandson who was 7 at the time said that if we can't see and feel it... it doesn't exist.
I remember pointing out that electricity is real, so is air, so are radio and TV signals etc but we can't see any of it. Makes you wonder or rather backs up the idea that we are indeed, as humans, very blind to what actually exists...maybe....thanks so much love xx
Haha...yes! Years ago Marconi ( I think it was him) had discovered radio waves. He spoke about them and his idea of using them. The (not so) good and the (not so) great, said, at the time, he was mad. And they tried having him put away ... so to speak. Their little narrow minds, their limiting belief stopped them from believing Marconi. Now who are the fools? There is soooo much in this universe we do not know about. We are silly to limit our beliefs as to what what we see, hear, feel, taste and touch. The sixth sense exists and who is to say that even more senses do not exist? Interesting ... v e r y interesting x
Exactly...remember when the earyh was flat? 🤩personally I morph between not believing any of it...and raging at it...yea, go figure 😄 and then reading all the NDE books and experiences again....how can so many people have such similar but varying experiences....ponder... ponder...
ponder... X
Ahhh yes ... when the Earth was flat ..... aha ...💡... an idea for a little sketch has popped into my mind. (wrings hands together) script writing ... here I come! Perhaps ...........
Go for it!!!! 😊😊❤️
