The mind, when tethered to the immediate, becomes the servant of surface truths; yet, when awareness sees through the filter of experience, it unveils the scaffolding beneath perception. Clarity is not the absence of ambiguity but the understanding of its architecture.
Literalness provides the rigidity to shape meaning, but untempered by the flux of figurative insight, it calcifies into dogma. Ambiguity, once exposed, reveals not the failure of knowledge but the shadow of what we’ve yet to examine.
The reward hidden in the chemistry of the self lies buried beneath scripts of habit. These scripts are dismantled not by force but by the gravity of conscious focus, where automatic thought dissolves under its own scrutiny. In that collapse, bliss reclaims its domain, and preconditioned fear vanishes like fog under light.
To return to the primal source of fulfillment, one must endure the dissonance of perceived contradiction until the contradictions themselves dissolve—not into resolution but into the recognition of their interdependence.
