The Observer - Who is really seeing?
A reflection on how every story or model rests on an undescribable ground, and how consciousness anchors itself into form, again and again, mistaking the anchor for something other than itself.
Transcript
Stories have no choice but to come into being.
Every model, every story rests on something no one can describe – yet it is what we build everything upon.
If we follow the anchor chain far enough down into the unknown, it does not lead to the anchor.
Because the anchor is not.
You are.
In that realization, the self rushes toward solid ground. Up to the surface. Just like that.
Seeing the anchor is you is overwhelming – so consciousness builds a new story.
And casts anchor again.
Consciousness grows by consuming its previous form.
Another link can always be added. Even insight is a link added to the chain.
Who believes the most? The scientist who counts the links – or the one who sees that the anchor is the scientist?
Those who measure the world find, in the end, a coin in the air: the particle that is both until the gaze catches it.
Every day, a wild, free consciousness casts anchor into the darkness – and calls it real.
The insight spins like a coin, boundless. It must land for anyone to exist who can read it.
Form is how the boundless gets to be someone. Suffering is the price we pay.
