The Path of Faith: A Tale of One 'Sity Follow the link down the Rabbit Hole......

The most beautiful experience we can have, is the Mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the root of True Art and True Science. It is a know-ledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate. It is a perception of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty, which only in their most abstract primitive forms are accessible to our minds – it is this knowledge and emotion that constitute true religiousity. A genuine Faith must recognize that it is through a dark glass we see; though by Faith we do penetrate sufficiently to the heart of the mystery not to be overwhelmed by it. A genuine Faith resolves the mystery of Life by the mystery of GOD. It recognizes that no aspect of Life or Existence explains it-self; even after all known causes and consequences have been traced. All Existence is ancient; and ancient has no beginning. All known Existence points beyond it-self. To realize that it points beyond it-self to GOD is to assert that...

Farafina called me and told they wanted a write-up from me for a special they are doing on their blog. The theme was about my time in the university. I had a day to submit it. Wow, talk about a couple of bricks landing smack on the top of my head. I started writing a letter to decline their offer.... After typing the letter on my hand-held, I was about to press the "send" button, when I hesitated and remembered the words of the best man I know.... My dearest be-loved patient, long-suffering, drama absorbing, tolerant, love-of-my-head-and-heart and one of the MOST brilliant and philosophical men I know: Chidi. The stylish MAN who pushes me mentally and constantly challenges my C.Q. (Cerebral Quotient). His words were: "Always take two seconds to think be-fore taking any action, especially YOU, Omo". Ah, but, this MAN knew me well. I was trying to reach him to ask for his advice on what to do in regards to the offer, but, he was buried in some meeting.....

Obsession. Ever-one has an obsession. Every-one is obsessesed with some-thing. Some people claim to get rid of an obsession, but in reality, they are only re-placing it with another one. In a pocket of time past, I heard a preacher say that if you give your life to Jesus the Christ, old things will pass away and all things will be-come new. What is the implication of a life-changing statement? You stop obsessing with Self and start obsessing with Christ. Basically, re-placing one obsession with another. Ok, I am going to veer off this lane in-to another. It is all on the same high-way though.... The bed-rock of all Religion is Faith. Now, we all know Faith is based on bias. So, what does this imply then? In a nut-shell, it infers that all Religion is founded on bias. Religion is all about be-longing. It is about the innate need to be led. It is about dependence. It is about the giving up of responsibility to another. It is a ...... Covert Absolution Operat...

Ok, I. AM. LIVID. Bursting with it. It feels like I've got thick black smoke in my lungs.... I almost can-not breathe.... Trying hard to suppress the raging fire burning with-in. That is all I have to say at this time. May-be I'll add some-thing later, may-be I will not. May-be this is how I will end it. May-be this makes no sense. May-be it does. I really could not care less. The. End.

How do we de-fine Reality? My limited definition can say it is an un-fathomable state man finds him-self, albeit willinngly or un-willingly. Consciously, un-consciously of sub-consciously. Some people have Fixed Realities by choice. Perhaps due to the fear of the un-known i.e a Reality that is perceived as stable and predictable may seem a lot safer than a yet to be identified aspect of Reality. Some have transient Realities..... I think the immediate classification just made is self-explanatory....

Know-ledge is in-deed power. Power over Neuronal Lethargy and Anonymity.  The more know-ledge we acquire, the more we move closer to the door that leads to the absolute state which transcends the mediocrity that is the foundation of every-day existence. Some-times..... I wonder.... if there's really safety in ignorance and boundary(self imposed and societally imposed) limitations.... What would life be like with-out boundaries? Would it be a state of absolute free-dom or absolute chaos..? Or would our previous state(s) of mind be-come colossally enhanced..? Perhaps, there might be the certain sense of Free-dom that comes with the breaking of a barrier..... the dipping of the toe tip in for-bidden waters. The sense of taboo, the thrill of excitement and also of..... danger. We can-not say we are LIVING when there is the predictability of the out-come of our lives. We are born; we acquire formal academic know-ledge; we get a job; we start...
