The Experience of Clarity

What do we insects do with a word like “Hallowed?”  Even in the distance it glows before us like a beacon.  “We will fly after it!”  ... and why not?  Our materialism has no direction or goal of its own.  It stands before us in irrefutable silence, while we have at last found a light to fly after.  And this flying after also belongs to our species, is consequent of human material, and as such, is also undeniable.

Who can deny the glory of immediate reality within an ascending repetition?  The sensation is equal to gazing up into the heavens on a starlit night: the magnificence is not so much in the wonder as it is in the realization that such power is real.

The Truth is not the choice between material reality and the subjective struggle to realize it.  It is not however even the reconciliation between the two — this would presuppose them to be naturally separate.  The Truth not only shows how post-science and pre-science exercise each other, but how materialism develops the god within us — and as we approach this unity, we become worthy of our own reverence.
