a life/exp around Socrates not knowing?
Posted: Thu Apr 16, 2020 10:25 am
Hi all,
I have, perhaps a story to tell, around Socrates saying that the only true wisdom lies within knowing nothing.
For many years now, I have been trying to undermine this saying.
And trust me, when I aim for something I usually do not miss, cause I'm usually good at this.
So every day I found myself refreshed, up to the task ...and every night, I ended up with nothing (when you are really true to yourself),
hence my saying, "every night I end up having a drink and discussion with him instead".
You failed your target now? I hear you think, perhaps ...but that is all except the case,
since I wander around, dive into every fragmented solution (that is therefore never really complete trough it's fractal tendencies) and extract some possible things out of every endeavor ...like a good espresso
for something that really keeps sticking,
So,
after a while I started to wander around this as some sort of fundament, base,
and other aspects, and in the back of my mind the question kept ringing louder and louder:
with an UBI frame as a somewhat stable element/resting ground, and trough this, exploring uncertainty factors as much as possible.
And what can I say, if anything, (cause I'm most of the time speechless) it's like an opening of a flower, filled with nectar, and transformation you never knew was possible to experience at times (but empirically registered fortunately).
The tragedy/downside of this, partly since this is a personal/micro experiment, based partly on an alt therapy also,
you also find your vessel disappear more and more away from the conditioned dualistic competition main field/frame and false certainties, and more importantly, the very people you are trying to help.
With the result also (at times), that to others, it's like you are speaking a new, and complete different language that others no longer can understand. It sometimes even manifests disturbing automated self defense mechanisms with others, and of course, frustration with me.
I can only describe this best with Plato's allegory of the cave really: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69F7GhASOdM
Isn't it absurd? You look and find possible answers, and by the time you get there, no one wants to hear about it cause it drives ppl nuts ...

I have been exploring this factor for a bit,why isn't life based more upon this principle that life is a mystery on itself?
and the other, although the same in shape, also different, and by accepting that, encourage each other towards self exploration and development, and enrichment of each other?
