NEFX - Nadormul.txt ? For this bedrock, being now recognized from a higher point of view as such and thus not as even a sufficient semblance of a whole structure of valid thought, would by this stage also be recognized by consciousness as being a place of retreat and thus a stage in the path to ultimate knowing whose every aspect cannot be as known or trusted as to their validity. ? Moreover, even where the previous stable bedrock may appear so still, it is so at the cost of a diminishingly effective self-stagnation that requires the suspension of rational faculties in order to carry on, thus stagnating the whole being. ? However, this rupture so introduced cannot be reversed, for now all within consciousness is suffused with the now-introduced unknown, such that no stable bedrock can be found for consciousness except by the proceeding along consciousness' path( bearing in mind the danger in this for how some paths can actually be false and lead to further error or harm whose consequences may not be seen until too late). ? This now undone known, being previously a bedrock upon which consciousness operated, can itself seem tempting to return to if for no reason than the security that comes with conviction of the actually faulty thought compared to the currently seemingly threatening havoc of the unknown. ? The recognition of this coexistence of that which is known and that which is so far unknown introduces a rupture in the state of all that consciousness has known, in a way where it can pass into a new sort of unknown. ? That is, it involves the awareness of that which is known as well as that which is beyond it, or of knowing of that which it does not know yet stands to reach to, which form of consciousness evolves the consciousness itself. ? If consciousness' purpose is its own ultimate realization, and consciousness' very existence -- let alone evolution and thus ultimately its own ultimate self-realization -- depends in part on its ability and willingness to rise above its own limitations, then by being active it is in a form of realization. ? Such a journey requires to a degree a compelling from beyond the self, without which the journeyer is bound to mere prosaic immediacy. ? Thus it can be speculated to a degree whether the ultimate is in some way found or touched upon in the neverending flux of its very pursuit. ? Until that realization that upon happening reveals itself as self-realization, forms and stages of knowing build upon and modify themselves and each other through accumulation, and this becomes no longer necessary for thought once it arrives at the ultimate. ? This can be conceived of as a process within a process (in some manner bearing like character on a smaller scale) of knowing's realization of itself, as being its own goal yet somewhat inchoate until the point of its realization. ? Out of this long-form process can a stage or form of truth or at least notion thereof be yielded, itself encompassing several stages and forms heretofore. ? Here any goal must be kept ever in mind amidst the distracting myriad of notions or information being revealed, and imagination ever employed as to what could feasibly be either pursued, not pursued, discovered, or not discovered. ? This gaze properly directed can cast over the array of things of concern in the investigation in like manner. ? to determine what is overall or what is in another thing by that which relative to it is not in the thing under investigation -- to find the shadow of the truth, as it were. ? e. ? Under the probing true sceptic gaze, the revelation of the untrue or non-existent nature of a thing can be not only the better detected but also found to have a content in precisely what is there absent, i.
