Is mystery dependent on me thinking of mystery?
It is a safe bet.
For when what is central is knowledge, then I can only become aware of mystery if upon something new or unknown.
Thus, mystery is not knowledge, but the lack of it.
Mystery is ignorance.
Thus, my meditation is rather reflection on ignorance,
As if I'm trying to better describe ignorance, or find a way out of ignorance with only the experiential.
I think of mostly consciousness and the universe here, in terms of my and humanity's ignorance of them.
Not only am I limited by my own understanding but also the understanding of others, however much they are even more intelligent than me.
I see others working on problems that have proven to not solve the mystery, the mystery being ignorance.
The only thing that could solve it is omniscience.
Then it follows that what I'm really trying to solve is omniscience.
"Infinite cognition" as the Buddha put it.
Even if a person could have omniscience, it would be colored by how they can make sense of reality.
Knowledge would take the form of what is most familiar.
Thus, when wondering about a question as to what is pi, they may say about 3.14.
The answer conditioned on how people and the omniscient one would have the capacity to hear.
Maybe this seems more like intuition.
But omniscience would denote the person as a speaker, yet only allowable to speak as what was conducive for everyone's best.
This is how Baha'is look at Manifestations of God: only allowed to share a certain amount at a time.
Just as the Son said "I have many things to share with you, but you cannot hear them now".
Still their capacity would be limited to what they themselves were interested in.
For one who is marginalized and oppressed or even thronged by multitudes, often has no willingness to delve deeply into subject matter, it causing some to stray from a correct path.
Since fractal systems work strongest in more diverse settings, it would seem that the very thing that makes it strong also makes its capacity to hear weak.
Omniscience therefore, if given to only a few, has a limited range of effect.
But even this limited range would change the entire system.
As Baha'u'llah calls His followers "the leaven" and the Son calls His followers "the salt".
"Many are called but few are chosen" seems derogatory in a world where "ye are all the leaves of one tree".

World consciousness almost arose to love tonight, but the lover ensared it in his anger once again.
If I close my ears to them, will it go away?
If they close my ears to me, will I go away?
Strength in the diversity of parts.
Strength really meaning pain.
E Pluribus Unum.

I hate remembering the good times we shared.
I say I'm moving forward but I just feel ensared.
Caught up in your lies, I've cried everytime.
You've caused me enough pain to last a lifetime.

But I'm not going to come running back to you,
Someday I'll forget you and all that you've done.
Even though that day is far away from the present,
It will eventually happen, and you'll become a stranger.

devoted cleo
ensared when her roman falls
death by asp hurts less
The Fire Burns Nov 2016
Lips moistened
brown sugared sweetness imparted
with lick of her tongue
kisses prepared

she will have her way
in that negligee
sheer and barely there
my emotions ensared

slowly peels it away
I sit and stare
ramrod straight
ready to share

here she comes now
its her rule of law
I cannot wait
for sugar in the raw

molasses high
as my blood sugar climbs
devour her syrup
as it continually drips

******* sweetness
I give it to you
you coaxed it from me
I'm no longer blue.
Too much drama in my life
so many hearts in grief
hang round thugs ****** with  gold teeth
to the
true pimps players to hoes and foes
thats the way life goes
deep in the game
ensared no where to go but chase the dough
im bound to see a 44
glares of death ahead instead
 i chose wrong over right
envisioned a blurry sight
cuz everything is impaired mentality damage
and i'm still runnin' from the police
cuz they god mad beef and when the shots release
all ya see is frozen smiles
teardrops and closed casket **** *******
don't ask me why i  gotta vendetta?
with them crooked judicial game of officials
my baretta
i hold the closest
this is my last letter
cuz i feel like im dyin' tonight?
right? and if they blast me on sight
my body may put up a fight
but if i go im goin' out like an OG
