The only way out of the conceptual frame work of thought is either into coherence or total incoherence during sleep or at the moment of death or mastered though meditation.
In post modern society everything seems so nuanced in the internet age and connected at super high speed so to make to previous culture seem redundant and old hat.
This only seems to be the case as time immoral proves the case that at our core we do not change thought and even action alone does not define us. We are not just thinking machines’ passing on genes without reason this is nonsense and such a thought is the ultimate degradation of the human spirit. Nor do we live so as to consume and be obedient consumers with no self will, but the will must be considered.
When Nietzsche wrote the will to power he meant to liberate mans creative impulse, not see it stifled for most under the rock of capitalism. It is the inner power which must be sort not just status which has become the end which justifies all means in society.
A reunification of inner sensation an interaction of inner and outer space, though meditation and eastern wisdom I find useful. To many this may seem like non-sense as it is an experience without the senses, but give it a try as there ultimately you will find yourself.
When one shuts down the senses, one experiences the greater self which is God.
God is dead as a concept of a father figure dispending justice, but this is never what Jesus was referring to anyway, god lives within us all and is felt within the stilled mind .To quote Carl Sagan “we are the way the universe knows its self.
God is just a name for a concept we do not understand. “The Tao that can be named is not the Tao"
I do not know the way more than anyone else but want to point a finger to my findings be they small and not yet fully understood by myself. If these thoughts interest you I suggest reading “the taboo again knowing who you are” by Alan Watts a very good read.
