The Search for Validity
The path to the truth of the moment is fraught with the pitfalls of a mind that is seeking. We must ask some important questions in our attempts to navigate through the illusion of minds tendency to seek validation in what it already thinks is truth. Is there a pathway to truth? Does that pathway involve a system of belief or a universal consciousness? Does one seek truth through dispensationalism? Surely the universality of truth does not need validation through the auspicious aberration of dogmatic myth. What is it that creates a fluid validity that cannot be intellectually challenged? Perhaps one requires a catalyst of unknown origin to bring about a state of understanding that is not a "result" of the illusion of "knowing". It may be that validity exist outside thoughts defined limits. If validity cannot be logically advanced in a given circumstance then perhaps one can never have a truly valid thought. Then the idea of a "valid" concept is non-existent. It then must become simply a transient notion of fact that may or may not be valid at some point in physical time.
Divergent thought is the beginning of a movement away from the intellectualism of logical analysis. That one set of known ideas or facts leads to other facts (convergent) and thus a valid understanding of corporeal existence. To be divergent is to be original. The creative genius that is within us all does not seek a means to an end. It is itself simultaneously the beginning and the end. Its validity is fluid and is part of the absolute moment of understanding and insight. Therefore its validity has passed as has the moment of its realization. One needs the logical in order to function in a society that is predisposed to a life of acquisition. But in order to understand completely the self that is the one who seeks validity in such a life, one must live a life of the divergent and unknown. It is the beginning of the original, which is not the result of the previous but something entirely new and without precedent.
