Isn't it funny how life goes around?
What cycle lies beyond that? Perhaps there is an even greater cycle that we don't know about because our species doesn't live that long? And with it, what knowledge are we missing?
Yes, it's funny how life goes around, and though we say we learn from our mistakes, can we learn from the circle of knowledge that isn't mistakes?
The knowledge is there for all of us, our obstacle is learning how to obtain it.
All things in the existance of life are pretty much set in stone, as it were. Therefore, the knowledge of the unknown must come from outside our daily existance.
The spiritual realm, if one travels it's path for knowledge instead of prestige, can be a very enlightening experience--and open the doors to the unknown.We, the seeker, must be prepared to partake in the knowledge, even if it is something we don't understand---and oh, it will be. For how can one understand the unknown from the perspective of the know? So, the trick is to take the knowledge of the unknown and incorporate it into our personal known realm thereby allowing ourselves to learn it. Once learned, thought it can't "be" of this known realm, can be used or practiced in it.
To get ourselves and our bodies used to the knowledge enough to be instinctive about it, we, the visionaries of that knowledge, must traverse the path to knowledge and become emersed in it frequently.
Vision quests. Soul searchings. Sweat lodges. Prayers even. These are just some of the ways we can become emersed. Each one must follow their own path.
Follow your own path. bring back with you the knowledge of the unknown. Teach others, thereby reaffirming your own contact with knowledge--and above all, don't become arrogant in it's use.
This is power, and it will consume you unless careful. For remember, all the knowledge you have gained is only one drop of water in a pool of all the knowledge out there.
The cycles of moon and stars almost everyone knows. The cycles of the decades, a few less know about. The old expression "history repeat's itself" so true if you look at it. That's centuries!
