Ana against the Kata
Stranded upon the corporeal island of First Earth.
A slice of 4th dimensional reality. My own ana/kata.
I spend this night like any night; before the vast digital libraries called the internet.
Each night, I’m suspended with the curse of subjective reflection. I see myself upon the underside of the Earth, in perfect mirror image of mundane origin. The stars in both the mirror and the reality speak and say, “You are deserving. You are like us”, and yet, below the soles of my shoes remain composite dirt and stone.
In the kata, I imagine an alternate reality. I see a world built of many corporeal and incorporeal islands. I see intermingling. Esoteric stimuli. Metaphysical trickery, and paranormal intrigue.
In the ana, I dwell outside the imagery. I feel a thirst for things I cannot entertain. I feel the heightening of frequency, yet emptiness in space. Fretting of worry. The messenger is hard to see. Hard to hear. Impossible to know.
I wonder why. Why is the only question we ask. Why glorifies and haunts. To be self-conscious of consciousness is a subconscious fallacy for the unconscious who only wish to be conscious, but can’t consciously grasp consciousness (attempt at redundant philosophy).
Whatever planes of existence remain beyond the First Earth are incomprehensible to the nature of the ana, but perfectly sought, heard, and felt in the kata.
As for myself, I feel a glimpse of confusion.
Lack of direction.
Blinded foresight.
Deaf clair-audience.
How does one focus on the power of the kata, while existing on the ana?

(NOTE: for those who do not know what ana/kata is, it is the 4th dimension, whereas the first three are comprised of north/south, east/west, up/down. It is an expression used as a translation for any problem that needs solving. In this example, the ana/kata represent the mystical. The supernatural. The spiritual.)

… and you know, that’s absolutely fine! =)
It is as I gathered through my own trek through spiritual understanding. Some things can only be revealed or realized once understanding comes to fruition. I feel that the nature of ‘God’ (as in whatever universal concept of consciousness that one personally defines as ‘God’) is most alive when we seek God, and when we go to lengths to assemble new ways of thought and understanding.
Greek philosophers, throughout the ages, have debated and preached countless theories on the nature of God by asthetic observation. Ancient cultures have built shrines and places of worship, in order to invoke the essence of godhood by ritual. During the renaissance, theories of God are approached invoking applications from astrology and the reintroduction of ‘high divination’. Fastforward to modern times, we are fusing our applications of mathematics, and science, to correct fallacies of old ways, and yet, we are completely dumbfounded by the unsolved mysteries of the past, and newly realized ones derived from quantum physics and metaphysics alike.
Not every seer commands spirits. Not every magician knows their own science. Not every psychic is a prophet.
God is most alive when we open our minds to spiritual discovery; when we fill ourselves with new realms of knowledge, and when we come closer to understand the curious energies within us.
The desire for something greater that we find within ourselves is supposed to be a motivator, to broaden our horizons,… not a source for discontent, or envy, or forgottenness. Conscious beings can bond to one another in their shared desire to understand consciousness, despite the common thought that ‘spirituality is a lonely path’. In perspective, it is. In perspective, it is not.
When you find yourself struck with these feelings, just simply close your eyes, calm your senses, and self-reflect. Use that desire.
I’ve learned that there is so much life ahead of many of us at this point. So much to understand.
The best we can do is wear the shoes that fit ‘us’, and approach enlightenment at your own pace.
(went off on a short tangent. sorry =/)
Wow, very well said. You are right, and I will take up that advice. Real wisdom/knowledge/truth comes from the stillness or The Silence not from reasoning, because you can’t always trust one’s Reason. Thank you much for the insight and thoughts, your words are not vain =)
