Visionary Apperception

Man doesn't come to know himself through books, ideals, mental constructs, memories, and trivial experiences. Man comes to know himself by penetrating and burning through the egocentric gossamer of his little self via a visionary fire that reduces all mechanical notions to dust. Man doesn't come into the world to suffer a thousand miseries and a thousand sicknesses. Man comes into the world to extend the reach of ecstasy. Man doesn't die in vain in a universe of utter indifference. Man lives in a universe of intangible, blessed resplendence. Man doesn't grasp vision as though it is an opaque object outside of himself. Man is grasped by vision and he is an object of its igneous, undivided attention. Man doesn't mill about space in some arbitrary time. Man is the totality of space in the presence of time, and the presence of space in the totality of time. Man doesn't merely partake in a meaningless play of opposites and ideas. Man is the being who synthesizes the play of opposites in order to create the divine idea within himself. Man doesn't move according to external laws. Man is the mover of external laws. Man doesn't live apart from the heart of things. Man is the heart of things.
