Prison

John Prophet

Knowledge.
Knowledge
prison.
Confined
in time
and space.
Blocked in
by knowledge
or lack
thereof.
Reality,
personal
reality,
knowledge
bound.
Living within
understanding.
Worldview
based on
knowledge.
Finite knowledge.
Finite reality.
Limited
understanding.
Limited
reality.
Beliefs
narrow.
Based
on virtually
nothing.
Understanding
negligible.
Passing
through
unaware.
Unaware
of most
there is.
Ignorance
confined.

    WE are being forced to live in ignorance but once we find the key to open the door the Universe is ours.

      Agreed, that’ll be quite the key...
      Thank you for reading

      yup, I too agree dear Poet
      the more random 'assumed logic' based knowledge
      we accumulate, the more confined we usually feel
      at the hopelessness it paints..
      ergo, I feel it best
      to tailor our learning, to match our needs
      meaning: if we're naturally logical people
      maybe we work on those missing instinctive tethers
      to spirituality and empathetic intelligence...
      while instead, if we find we are too reliant
      on our senses for direction, we should add
      a little logical reasoning to fine tune and distil
      those overwhelmingly intrusive - sensed feelings...
      then maybe, we can find a middle ground
      of balanced cognitive and sensed understating
      for the world we live in...
      either way it all starts from within
      without knowing what we're lacking
      wasteful: to begin consuming...

        Fighting the animal within...
        Thanks for reading LBM
