The Unspeakable World

But now a great thing in the street

Seems any human nod,

Where shift in strange democracy

The million masks of God

C.K. Chesterton

Imagine seeing behind every human nod...God behind the mask every human wears. Imagine being able to see infinite colour and hear endless sounds. Imagine acting with nothing but inspiration in your heart and absolute stillness in your mind. Imagine experiencing all the things the senses are picking up from this world around you without naming, labelling, or conceptualizing any of it. Imagine. discovering the magic of the most ordinary moment the mind so often ignores. Imagine, seeing no difference between the transcendental world and the everyday world. Imagine fully living in the "Unspeakable world." (Korzybski)

Alfred Korzybski, a polish born engineer and philosopher, also said that " The map is not the territory." ...meaning that the experience of Life cannot be adequately reduced to symbols: language or the mind's interpretation of what the senses are picking up. Life  is not our thoughts. 

Alan Watts tells us in the below linked video:

Just as you have to stop talking to hear what others have to say, you have to stop thinking to find out what life is about.

You can only be truly creative when the mind is still

When you don't name things any longer you start seeing them

Imagine truly "being" in Life instead of just thinking and talking about it.

All is well in my world.
