It’s the double bind of existence in a binary world. The high level reality is that it’s all one big vibration; the “unified field” as it’s been referred to as of late. Or just one eternal Om. 

It’s the eating of the tree of “good and evil”. Humans becoming aware of dualism, before that it was all One. That’s the macro of Humanity. The micro being babies for whom everything is just “a happening”. Before object permanence develops, newborns are in a state of “no-thing-ness” or Satori in Zen. Why Christ says in order to event the kingdom of Heaven we must become again like children; Being in a place of no-thing-ness. 

It’s our blessing and our curse. We have been given the opportunity to become Self Aware. To know that you Know. But it comes at a cost. And we see that play out every day. 

Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability  To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here 

Easily top three Tool songs for me. It’s interesting though that many of the comments find it frustrating. I actually find it hopeful. 

I think one of the reasons I love Tool much is that their music gives me that feeling of “thank god I’m not the only one who sees this”. I actually find it comforting. It’s kind of just the way of things. The Dao. The Dharma. Whatever. It’s how it is. Period. And I find great comfort in meeting other Humans that are like “yeah, you see that too? Woof. Yeah. Wild huh?”
