Why I need Whitman’s experimental grounds:

I am afraid of ignorant bliss; like those that think they live in a perfect world, as long as they keep ignoring the truth.  Like this, they keep themselves from growing, because it is definitely possible for someone to be in denial and not know it: like when one has “nothing to complain about” but they aren’t happy either; or when one believes that they “could not be happier”, and yet, they are obviously not overwhelmed with joy; or like when I used to believe I was on top of the world, but my weakness was deviously developing in the back of my mind, to haunt me in a future time and place (here and now).

Is the problem solved by simply “paying attention”?

Admitting that, as perfect as the world may seem, it may not be so?  Is this enough?

I notice that in my relationship with friend #87, there are definitely inhibitions that are not outwardly manifested.  These inhibitions are only manifested as silence when we are alone, and blank minds when we want to converse.  I think the relationship can improve, but would not I need to first know that there is an inhibition before I am motivated to deal with it?  Well, what if I missed these inhibitions?

What happens, if this, is that two people in a relationship, they do not notice each other’s inhibitions, neither their own.  If they don’t get addressed, even if they may have the characteristics to be “the perfect match” it “just doesn’t work out.”  And no one knows why, but it “just doesn’t.”

I think this is trying to say why it is important to stay open to what is beyond your perception; open to a Most-High God above the Most-High God (which will ultimately be, the Most-High God).

Ignorant are the people who say “it’s funny how that happens” and leave the event as a mystery of the paranormal.  Worst are the unbelievers who say, “that did not just happen”, and do whatever they can to rid their minds of the incident.

Thinking about things is inappropriate because your mind makes of the world something that is not necessarily true; basically, it causes inconsistencies between the mind and reality.

But even if I “clear my mind” the physical world I perceive is composed of prejudices as well.  Will it make it ok if I keep the prejudice but respond to it (when I find out that I am wrong) in a peaceful way?  It certainly wouldn’t be the ideal.  But something tells me that the next step may be to accept this possibility.
