Transplanting the Gate

It all started when he first learnt, as a child of merely ten years old already, that time can be structured, that activities can be scheduled, and how schedules need to be – and can be – flexible (like, as he only learnt more than three decades later, even the rigid geometry of Space also bends gravito-geodesically into mass).

 

Then, little more than half a decade later, in his study of poetry, he realised what it means to think about the mechanics of the creative process, and where thoughts come from, how they are thought, and how to become aware of, recognise and identify his own thoughts, how to grasp, comprehend, penetrate, understand, and analyse them into their constituent elements, and resynthesise these elements, through this kind of meta-thinking, into new, further thoughts – and meaning – and how we learn, see, know, grok, and grow.

 

Shortly after that, he began to learn how dimensions work, and to discover what they actually are, and how they are related to the reality of dreams, and to the dreaminess of reality, and he started to see the basic infinite-eternity of the structure of the lower levels of the fracto-dimensional framework of Existence, and beyond... For a few years, he struggled trying to answer the koan ‘What is real, and what is not?’, but, eventually, determined how to make sense of, and deal with this new, expanded, all-inclusive reality when he finally accepted that there is no not-real, but is there now-here then, which might be distinguished from each other for the sake of popularly-normal blissful ignorance.

 

...and, at the same time, he also realised just exactly how very meta ‘‘this’’ actually is,

 

while also learning how solitude, silence, simplicity, fasting, study, meditation, and prayer actually work,

 

and, simultaneously, how to ...walkwherewaterwould...;

 

and how to recognise and make notes of things he is likely to forget, resynthesise them into typographically-poetical summaries that make more sense, and which he is more likely to remember, and how to communicate these ideas unmisunderstandably so that others might also begin to meta-learn.

​

...and what the meaning of 'meaning' means... (y'know whad'i mean?... ;)

​

He prayed that he would only ever have enough, and that not even his faith in trusting the practice of his religion would ever prevent him from knowing the Creator in every moment.

 

Shortly after that, he learnt about grokking for the first time, and began to grok it, i.e. to meta-grok, to grok meta-grok, and to meta-meta-grok a lot – without smoking pot, or taking an LSDot...

 

(and what each of all these words here actually meta-means)

 

Eventually, he also meta-realised that all realisation is simply pattern recognition, facilitated by the two fundamental questions: ‘What is similar?’ and ‘What is different?’ (...and the third that is like unto these: ‘What does it mean?’)

 

...And then he learnt what shalom means, and realised how he had already grokked, for a long time, that choices made in shalom, yield consequences of even greater shalom, and how to begin to practise acting more consistently in shalom, and to
...walkwherewaterwould..., in order to take care of his own mental health and personal well-being so that he can assist others in their learning of how to take care of themselves, in order to perpetuate perpetuating positive, productive perpetuation perpetually in the perpetual perpetuity of the upcoming generations, and how to finish his work, and how to rest.

 

Then he found himself in a situation which allowed him to take back his soul from the system, and he realised why and how it is O.K. to say ‘no’ and deny a request without explanation.

 

Then he learnt about security vs. privacy, anarchism, and truth-justice-freedom.

 

...And then he began to learn about his ikigais, past, continuing, and changing...

 

and Taoism, and Buddhism.
