>>"It's always more simple than it looks. There is harm in intellectualizing simplicity. Flaws and limitations thrive in intellectualizations, not in what is being intellectualized[?]" That complicates things, doesn't it? :-) >>I believe there is an immense chasm between emotive, spiritual, sentient knowledge and rational, intellectual analysis of things we do not know. And I believe the former is closer to what is. The Source of all Suffering. I don't know what is. And I probably never will. I merely know what I see, and [tell myself ever more convincingly that I] know what I think. The lifelong struggle is to take what I see and use it to shape what I think. This is ...made more interesting... by what I think I see. The irreducible step of faith comes in choosing to hope that what I'm seeing and thinking might converge on what is. Comfy credo. Hmmm. I see your point. Perhaps I needed to qualify my premise of elusive complexity to apply to intellectual edifices as opposed to the underlying actuality. Philosophies, ideologies, canons and Weltanschauungen. I accept as aesthetically pleasing (though abstract beyond redemption) that What Is is underlyinly flat simple. Somehow however my personal relationship to What Is is labyrinthine. Heisenbergian in the sense that the act of drawing a bead on the target, the very attention, changes the target. In a manner so far impossible to systematize. A is A. I am I. Fine. A and I? Oy!
