If anyone who reads here has taken offense from my passionate post , then they must personally believe themselves to be intelleigent .Anyone who believes they are intelligent , doesn't realize how much this is that they don't know , therefore they don't realize how ignorant they are .

One of the games in knowlege and intelligence is , the more you know , and the more intelligent you get ,the more you realize how little you know , and how ignorant you really are .At least , that's been my experience .

Dualalities of life . For every action , there is an equal and opposite reaction . And if i realize that I am more intelligent then one person , I will realize, I'm more ignorant then another person .

Why do I seem to have a hang up on this intelligence and ignorance thing ? It's because it has caught my attention lately .I'm seeing knowlege as an upside down pyramid ( without a bottom ) or a funnel . The more I know , the more I realize I don't know . And as I learn more and rise in knowlege , the space and gap gets wider as I go up the upside- down pyramid in knowlege . Making me see how much more I need to learn before I fully know ( fully become aware ).But as I learn more ,there becomes more that needs to be learned , and the more I learn the more I need to learn about what I just learned . It seems it will go on til eternity never reaching an end , never being Satisfied.
It's like trying to catch sun light in your hands.

Sometimes I like to just sit and be and imagine I don't know anything at all. No people , no words , no, songs , no chores , no ignorance , no intelligence . I imagine I have no wants , of people , of money , of possesions , of pleasure , of love ,of hate , of food of drink , of peace , of war .

And I feel this feeling of complete-ness and fulfillment and the enjoyment of just

{ BEING }


Then again , I just may be experiencing the feeling of being


{ IGNORANTLY BLISS }

Hello, I randomly found this message about the parodox of knowledge, where more knowledge = more ignorance. I like what you had to say, and agree. This whole idea is one reason I love a scripture in the bible which says that man's intelligence is folly in God's eyes... or something like that anyway.

I'd like to read more articles, how can I do that?

quote from Dan:

< Dan.>>

Dan, I don't know where you can find more articles like this one . This came out of my head one day. Actually I was on the angry side when I wrote it and I believe I offended some by it , which really wasn't my intention.

I have very little formal education.I didn't even finish high school. And I've resisted formal education since grade school and felt is was being forced on me. As soon as my body was strong enough where my parents couldn't force me to go to school , I dropped out. I am one of the ignorant ones.But for some reason thoughts just enter my head as they do everyone else , and I feel the need to share them.

Anything I write that resembles intelligence is not from me but from the creator.

As I wrote in a song once,

Who is the poet , the poet is not me .
I'm just the writer , the poet uses me .

If my ego comes off too strong , well , I already admit I'm one of the ignorant ones.

Hope you find what your searching for .

Maize
