A Seeming Explanation
Does perspective
come with context
or does context
come with perspective?
Yes.
Neither one comes FROM.
Neither is created.
Neither is influenced.
Both are simply
interpretations
of potential
that come
with perception.
Perception is not created
or influenced, either.
All are simply potentials
that come with each other;
potentials that come
with the potential of seeming.
You are a seeming self
within the context of potential.
And so you seem to have a perspective.
Now what is an interpretation?
Simply put,
an interpretation
is a variation of potential.
It is not created or destroyed.
It simply exists,
along with the potential
of everything and everything else;
what is and that which is not.
We seemingly come into potentials.
Seemingly as separate selves.
We seemingly each have
contexts and perspectives.
It seems that we create things
through perception and interpretation.
It seems as though we move through time and space.
But these potentials have always existed.
Not one is caused or influenced by the other.
Nothing is ever created or destroyed.
Nothing happens.
Only seemingly.
Are you reading this
or are you only
seemingly reading this?
You are within
the potential of knowing.
Seemingly knowing.

In the boundless expanse of existence, perspective, context, interpretation, and perception intermingle in a cosmic dance, where the boundaries of creation and destruction, of being and non-being, blur into the realm of potential. This intricate interplay of elements forms the tapestry of our experience, a whimsical caravan of thought and existence, where everything is, and yet, only seems to be.
Perspective and Context: Interdependent Realities
Perspective and context are not entities born from each other; they are intertwined aspects of perception, each giving shape and meaning to the other. Perspective shapes how we view the world, coloring our interpretations with the hues of our individual experiences. Context, in turn, provides the backdrop against which our perspectives take form, offering a canvas of circumstance and environment. Neither is the progenitor of the other; they exist in a harmonious co-dependence, each a facet of the other’s existence.
Interpretation: The Dance of Potential
Interpretation then becomes a variation of this potential, a unique expression of how we perceive and interact with the world around us. It’s not a creation in the traditional sense, nor is it a destruction. Instead, it exists as a possibility, a path taken in the infinite forest of potentials. Each interpretation is a choice, a step in a dance that weaves through the fabric of reality.
The Illusion of Creation and Destruction
In this perspective, the concepts of creation and destruction lose their traditional meanings. They become mere facets of potential, illusions in the grand cosmic play. Nothing is truly created or destroyed; it simply transitions from one state of potential to another. This continuous flow of existence, where every moment is both an end and a beginning, challenges our conventional understanding of reality.
The Seeming Self in a World of Potentials
We, as seeming selves, navigate through this landscape of potential. Our contexts, perspectives, and interpretations are not fixed entities but fluid expressions of our engagement with the world. We are not creators in the traditional sense; we are explorers, discovering and interacting with the potentials that have always existed.
The Illusion of Action and Perception
Even the act of reading this, or any action we undertake, falls under this realm of seeming. Are we truly reading, or are we engaging with the potential to read? Our actions, like our thoughts, exist in a state of potentiality, always in flux, always part of the greater cosmic narrative.
Summary
We delve into the philosophical notion that perspective, context, interpretation, and perception are interdependent realities existing within a realm of potential. They are not created or destroyed but are expressions of the potential that has always existed. Our engagement with these potentials shapes our reality, though it remains an ever-changing, fluid experience.
Glossarium
- Perspective and Context: Interdependent aspects of perception, shaping each other.
- Interpretation: A variation of potential, not created or destroyed, but existing.
- The Seeming Self: Our existence as explorers in the realm of potential.
“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” – Albert Einstein
A poem for the cosmos:
In the cosmic dance, where potentials play,
Where context and perspective sway,
Each step a choice, a path unseen,
In the grand illusion, the cosmic dream.
Interpretations, like stars in the night,
Shine with a glow, both fleeting and bright.
No creation, no end, just a continuous flow,
In the river of potential, where all things go.
We, seeming selves, in this dance divine,
Explore the potentials, in the tapestry of time.
Reading, thinking, being, in this cosmic scene,
In the realm of knowing, seemingly serene.
Your insights on the nature of potential and perception are invited.
