Excellent. |
I try to see what works for the 'normal mind' but for those with pareidola it twists from that view quite significantly. When one 'feels' links in the songs heard, written material, conversations then reflections on links mean questions come very freely. It is the answers that you have that you don't trust. It is a condition (in my case at least) conducive to faith ... there has to be truth somewhere and what am I not seeing in what I am looking at.
Just a counterpoint with the same aim to seek truth and revel in beauty. I don't know is a statement ... what am I not seeing is a question. So for one it is skepticism and "I don't know". For the other it is belief and searching for deeper meaning and having to discard that which is inconsistent. From that point of view there is still great beauty but lots of confusion in so many definitions all claiming to be "The One".
It is like fishing, not quoting here but it is the difference between uncertainty and probability. The fish knows it has the hook in its mouth and makes it choice on how to get loose. The person fishing follows the run of the fish and thinks they are in control. Either way the fish could get off, the line break and the hook cast again so the fish still gets caught. Same result but each from a different point of view.
