On Water & Mystery

When confronted with an absence, what does water do?
When confronted with a mystery, what will the mind do?
Is it wise for the mind to be as water to a mystery?
To be as water is to be an adept
It is to be drawn up and into a condition
Why up?
Because “up” is an anticipatory value
So then, perhaps it is better to say that you already are water
And to understand the finer points of this process of conditions
With this in mind one can turn their attention to matters of the heart
And set aside the distinctions between water and blood
As well as the notion of the heart being nothing more than a pump
For the heart has it’s own intelligence, to determine volume and frequency of the currents that it both sends out and receives
The heart of the mind can determine where to send its water, and in so doing fulfill potential, while avoiding lack
This is done by recognizing that potential is fully accessable in the moment, while lack is always held suspended in the future
Potential encompasses the anticipatory value, while lack is encompassed by anticipation
And so to be as water is only part of a much larger picture
Part of which is what it means to be governed by the heart’s intelligence
As the heart guides lack into potential
