Nothing is more important to us than learning. We are saturated, penetrated and infiltrated with countless ideas each day. Some we accept, some we reject and some we bask in the personal pleasure they bring. We want to be exposed to new and challenging ideas; that’s how we satisfy our incessant curiosity. Our divergent minds are designed to gravitate to the areas of our days where the most interesting, intriguing and innovative thoughts are hiding. Yes, I said ’hiding’. IF the information is too easily accessible, and recognizable, we get bored with it and dispose of it quickly. IF the information is too complicated and irrelevant, we merely pass it by without it ever grabbing us long enough to make a memorable impression. We WANT to learn, at the same time, we are inherently lazy and will not be bothered too much to grapple with notions that don’t interest us.

Sex interests us. The reason being because it’s ‘natural and convenient’, pleasurable, satisfying and it requires little effort. Food offers the same self-induced format. Nutrition, keeping the body fit and personal attractiveness stimulates us since we like the idea of living longer, feeling better and looking as good as we possibly can. Religion, philosophy, science, and psychology lure us because we’d like to think we can figure out what make us, and others tick, how and why the world came into being and develop some sort of ‘spiritual’ premise upon which we can stand and evolve. Religion seems to be a major source of interest since it is so miraculously unredeemable; or at least, in the sense of valid, demonstrable proof. (Hope, faith and belief constitute its vernacular hold).

Beyond, these basic intrinsic interests, the human inquisitiveness palate widens immeasurably. Depending on ingrained character, inflexible intention, coupled with an indispensable desire nature, the individual seeks diversity to gratify his needs. We school ourselves with each breath we inhale and exhale. Never is there a moment when we are not actively engaged in learning something of some value. The most insignificant ordeals offer an invaluable source of stimulating meaningful dramas of exploration. Meaning. It’s all about conscious, applicable and relative meaning. The precise, concise and exact meaning we ascribe to any one person or event determines our length, depth and breadth of interest and involvement. When it’s all said and done, whatever matter to us, matters.

There is one area of learning, however, which remains primarily in the background in/of/from all of ‘schooling pursuits’. Consciousness. Consciousness enables us to attract, observe, participate and attribute the relevance of specified meaning. Not only are we afforded the luxury of intermingling with the affairs of our chosen subject of interest, but we are entrusted with a certain ‘take’ on the subject which others are not privy to. In other words, how we view the matter under scrutiny is determined by our particular manifold observation of it. Let me make myself more clear on this statement.

The world, in which we inhabit, is crammed with countless things that we can study and learn from. They supposedly exist before we bring our awareness to them. But, up until the concentrated point, we begin to notice them; they did not exist for us. Our specified intent to look at them in a coherent manner induces a specific change in their appearance. Whatever they were before we ‘took a gander’ is NOT what they appear to be to us. According to physics, our initial interest colors their manifestation. We bring to the examination an intricately assorted background of inferences which color the viewing lens no matter how objective we’d like to believe ourselves to be.

In all actuality, according to the latest research in the esoteric realm of impenetrable consciousness, what we are seeing is a hologram aspect of ourselves. IF we want to buy into the concept, that everything is inexplicably, inexorably connected, then we can only learn from those various parts of our ‘supposedly’ disconnected fragments which reveal more about the how, when, where , who and why we are populating earth. Every single interest that attracts us is fundamentally because we are composed of the same particles and generated for the identical reason for existing.

We love to learn! We are motivated to explore, ask questions, seek, probe investigate. We are the vehicles of insoluble prying. Why? Because we possess less than half of the celestial picture of whom, what and why we are breathing on this very tiny start in one remote galaxy, we will not be satisfied until we KNOW! As far as we can tell, we are ‘pretty much’ at the mercy of the gods, ether, universe, hallowed source, (whatever we prefer to call our emergence from our infinite beginnings). While we are alive and capable of discovering we continue to seek for any verifiable logical train of thought which would lead us to the underlying truth. Fortunately or unfortunately, there are so many varied roads to travel to aid us in our unceasing curious exploration.

What we are looking for, no matter which subject, we ultimately study is the concrete reason for our existence. We want to understand why we are born onto a planet simply to accumulate knowledge, then, die. IF we irrevocably wanted to assign purposeful meaning to our earth existence, we could borrow the sacred sublime notion of a precious ruthless soul, whose indifferent expression to experiment with the infinite possibilities of human sensual sexual artistic experience, as being the indescribable innate motivation. From that level of reverent consciousness, we can speak nothing of for we are so emptied in our limited language to express it.

So, here we all are: bumbling, tumbling, stumbling and mumbling around on earth, searching for clues to help us make sense of it all. We are not the least bit interested in what it’s all going to mean later on; we want to know; NOW! Of course, the unarguable soothing idea of a ‘family gathering’ in the afterlife pacifies, placates, and ‘keeps us in check’ for a while, but not long. We still ‘bottle neck’ ourselves; peering around every corner and under every rock looking for ‘what we will have learned’ from those episodes containing the ‘this time’ magic answers. That irreplaceable magic of learning solicits every atom in our body to “pay attention”. The one thing we can count on: Life will give us the opportunity to invoke a rarefied mystical ritual of personal experience, which, after all, is the ONLY true teacher!
