Has anyone supposed it lucky to be born?


Has any one supposed it lucky to be born?
I hasten to inform him or her it is just as lucky to die,
and I know it.

I pass death with the dying
and birth with the new wash'd babe,
and am not contained between my hat and boots,
And peruse manifold objects no two alike and every one good,
The earth good and the stars good,
And their adjuncts all good.

I am not an earth nor an adjunct of an earth,
I am the mate and companion of people,
all just as immortal and fathomless as myself,
(They do not know how immortal, but I know.)

Walt Whitman

"The pre-Socratic Greek philosopher Parmenides taught that the only things that are real are things which never change... and the pre-Socratic Greek philosopher Heraclitus taught that everything changes. If you superimpose their two views, you get this result: Nothing is real." — Philip K. Dick--

ZEITGEIST: MOVING FORWARD | OFFICIAL RELEASE | 2011

I remember talking with Ernest Callenbach some 40 years ago about this. Although it is a bit out of character for this blog I felt it should be made available.

I withdrew from the world to search deeper into myself. And, the moment I came to know myself, I was filled with revelation. In a state of blessedness, I merged with myself. Yes, I came to stand and rest in the silence and stillness. Through an unknowing knowledge. I came to know the One who exists in me—The One who is unknowable, the One who, himself, eternally stands at rest in silence and stillness.’
-Allogenes-

Rene Dumal, author of Mountain Analogue: "You have to come down from your summit, so why climb in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below. But what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees, and one descends. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by what one has learned higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least know." know."
