Dirty Enlightenment: The Inherent Perfection of Imperfection

by Peter Brown

You can’t find an “end” to anything. In experience you can’t find an end; there're no edges, no borders, no boundaries to ANY aspect of experience, of reality. Since there're no ends, no boundaries, no fixed reference points, where do you start from? Where do you end up? All systems of human thought boil down to having arbitrary fixed points that are defined into existence, and then the whole system of thought, a whole metaphysic, is developed from there. But if you look closely, there ARE NO FIXED POINTS in the actuality of our experience, so these systems are entirely arbitrary. Everything collapses. And what it collapses to is the reality of experience BEING AS IT IS, which is ultimately beyond analysis. It’s self-evident, TOTALLY obvious, but we can’t SAY what it IS.
