Age old question

Lately, I've been delving into the back of the old brain and cannot stop thinking about questions of our existence. But then I wonder if at anytime I do find anything conclusive, that I would be upset, or worse, not even be able to understand the concept...anyone else cooped up in their brain lately? What if the answer(s) was 17,000 lines of binary code?

What answer?
--------------------
   All this time I've loved you And never known your face All this time I've missed you And searched this human race Here is true peace Here my heart knows calm Safe in your soul Bathed in your sighs

I don't think you will ever come to some conclusive answer, or a conclusive answer that you will not be able to understand. I think that answer is already upon us, and is the only answer. The answer is: There is no answer, and you'll never understand it. I think the growth comes when you surrender to that paradox, and stand in the groundlessness of it.

There are answers... there may be no final conclusion, but this isn't to say that it's all just chaos.
It's important to remember that this is a journey, one in which we may look into the future to certain definable points - death, for instance. What we think we are reaching to might be completely different to where we are actually destined to reach. However, certain goals and lines of thinking may be necessary to set us in a certain predestined destination.
I believe the surrender comes when we realize that one path is ending and a new path is beginning, no sooner or later. This is the paradox of fate and coincidence jon is hinting at I think.
Binary is an interesting concept.. everything can be seen as binary, on or off, yin and yang, hide and seek.. do not get too wrapped up in trying to comprehend infinity and your place in it, trust in the present moment and letting go. Or not, it's going to happen as it should anyways.

What sorts of emotions do your questions give you?
-------------------- I am the MacDaddy of Heimlich County, I play it Straight Up Yo! ....I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human...... Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!
