The Black Vault

Knowledge alone, awareness, is one thing, its another thing to do something
with it, its another thing to let it shape and guide your life and your
experiences.

I get what you are saying
"enlightenment" as simply gathering knowledge
vs.
"enlightenment" as in building up wisdom

there's a famous line..
"The path of excess leads to the tower of wisdom." - W. Blake
to me it is a way of saying that all learning is learning..for some it takes a-lot longer
like Alanis says, "You live, you learn"

I see that you believe a reckoning is close..and those that don't reach a certain point will fall away

I am not disagreeing(or agreeing)..but I believe, if that were so, those folksbwho don't make this boat will simply be on the next boat..or the next..or the one after that

I know there is a belief that certain consciousnesses, if they do not evolve..they are thrown back into the soup to be remixed..
My come back to that is..they are still in the soup

what is, always was, is, and will be (in one form or another)
I think, anyway

This is a poem I wish I wrote, but you might see a resemblance.

Covenant Of Death
(c. 1998)

We Assemble as Those Who were before
Of the Principal Force and Form
The Lighting Flash They are
They Breathe the Word and it becomes

We make the Covenant
To the Primal Source of which we've come
We lift ourselves
On the Path that brings us to our Dream

The Continuum Force we praise
Your Slumber Being our highest goal
We make Your Way our laws
For Your ME we do decide

Amah-Ushumgal-Anna
Deep within You Hold the Key
Habsu Being the Way
To claim the Throne that's ours by Right

Hostile ones, you soon shall reap the reward you have earned

Enjoy now this ignorant bliss in which you live
For the awakening soon shall come

Their treacherous decisions have committed them to
Eternal Dis and Torment
For now their only shield
Is the ignorance in which they hide
In the Shadows of their fears
They feel the Gnashing Teeth and Weeping



Feel free to add one you like whether it's a quote or yours...

I'm sorry but "gnashy" or "gnashing" only takes me here

maybe I'll write a poem, "Gnashy, Toothy, Bunny, Creature"..it will be about life, existence, and all that goes with it.

When I think of gnashing I think of the phrase "we will all be masticated by maggots one day."

That reminds me of "The hearst song"

My dad use to sing it when I was a kid (along with reading Edgar Allan Poe, regularly, to us kids..dad was a drunk..a brillinat awesome one, but a drunk, none the same (society, I think, sickened him), and he knew it..he was..awesome, for the most part,fyi)

I used to write nesting lots of parentheses within each other...I'm reminded of that.

What?
(Huh?)
[I don't get what you are getting at]
{these are fun, too}
dot, dot, dot
...

You know, parenthetical remarks within parenthetical remarks....

Yah know,
My narcistic self, it believes I might have started, "dot, dot, dot"..
So, within my narcistic delusion, this is jsut the next step.
Cool, huh?

Just..sit back and enjoy the ride.
