What if we look at being as an event (something unstructured, energy also has a "structure" and it has an "essence" of some sort by which we recognize its "presence"). I think it is more radical to un-ask the question.....Thank you :-)Rowan Moseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05337488804840776700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920647283462590061.post-4789264137110456482011-02-23T14:13:23.086+00:002011-02-23T14:13:23.086+00:00I agree WE need some sense of purpose.

Lawrence has this beautiful image that animals and plants live in chaos, we cannot stand it and we add this umbrella where we order things by copying real items from the world into a canvas that protects us. (He goes beautifully further and says that when we write a poem, we make a hole in the umbrella... this was the inspiration for may poetry blog, called bucalumbrello.blogspot.com). <br />Moreover, here is a quote of Mr Aurobindo, from Pondicherry (who created an Ashram around there):<br />"Destruction is grandiose, except when it proceeds from vengeance"<br />I guess destruction is a polemos-guided element of recycling things. And feed the flux where they live.Hilan Bensusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11270912801282450135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920647283462590061.post-58858060635706362142011-02-22T06:54:52.321+00:002011-02-22T06:54:52.321+00:00Shakti has insane potentialities and her power is ...Shakti has insane potentialities and her power is wild, so wild that sometimes "kali" emerges, she cannot be "tamed" and this leads her to go on a destructive spree. I think we definitely need a Shiva to give Shakti purpose and love.Rowan Moseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05337488804840776700noreply@blogger.com
