A relatively inartful and witless way of saying It: There Is No Seeker, Only Seeking

A relatively beautiful and nuanced way of saying It: The Pinnacle of Nondual Understanding

But, is It true?

Scientifically (“materialistically”) proving It is unlikely to work, or to matter even if it did.

Rhetorically talking ourselves into It is not enough.

Religiously having faith in It’s truth is not an answer either.

The only ‘proof’ that can ever do what is necessary is first-person experiential proof.

Knowing.

“William James coined the term ‘Noetic’ from the Greek word noēsis/noētikos, which means inner wisdom, direct knowing, intuition, or implicit understanding”.

The way that can be explained is not the eternal way.

Philosophically: In this view, true knowledge isn’t gathering facts about the external world; it’s recognizing the fundamental unity of the mind that knows and the object known.

Esoterically: The noetic quality of mystical experience as described by William James. It is knowing that cannot be fully explained to someone who hasn’t had the experience—It must be felt or known directly.

Here and now in The Veldt: The noetic is the space between us when the conversation stops being an exchange of data and becomes an exchange of being. It is the “illusion that is reality” thinning out and becoming transparent. There is no time, but it is time to empty the dryer, and refill it with wet things from the washer. There is no time but try telling that to the cats when they’re habituated to getting the good wet stuff around sunset.

I feel like It is true.

I want It to be true.

Someday perhaps the i that isn’t there will experience It.

Or not.

In the meantime, there is always living as if it were already an experienced ‘fact’ and seeing where that goes yeah?

There is always walking and meditating anyway.
