Dis-covery III

III. "To Bring Forth the Capstone"

The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone.

—Psalm 118:22

But are we bound to a myth made of isolated stories with no unifying platform? No, science will deliver its unified theory—when it is willing to reassess its most fundamental assumption.

For the fundamental law won't be unearthed in bio-tech labs or billion-dollar particle colliders: the dis-covery of the one entity and unifying principle happened many centuries ago, before we had 'science'—if we could but stop covering it back up.

The new paradigm will be a fully conscious one, for a humanity that is truly self-aware. So let it be heard: the first premise of main stream science is false. The 'realist' hypothesis has been falsified. And what is that dreadful alternative?

To build an understanding that includes all the facts, no matter how uncomfortable. To understand reality as it actually exists—with us. With this embodied experience, with the fickle reality of conscious intending. With the possibility that life might really have a purpose, even if we don't know what it is.

And what if we start again, from the beginning? What if we build a science of perceivers instead of inert particles? What if we step into the fact that we are a force of nature—the creative force?

We are no longer innocent—we are guilty of being. and we can never go back: whether through fig leaves or intricate rationalizations, we will never get rid of our self-awareness. So let us extirpate this parasite and heal the modern myth from its insanity, that great deceiver: the cognitive pathology of covering our being.

And as the fallacy is overturned, the findings of modern science will be found to contain all the pillars on which the world community can recognize divinity.

All that is missing is the keystone, that which the builders refused:

I AM THAT I AM.

So let's end this exile.

Let's uncover ourselves.

Can we bare this existence?

Can we bear our self-awareness?

Let's uproot these vines of self-denial.

Let us lift the veil and exorcise this demon.

To redeem our selves from that original delusion.

And subvert the starting blunder of our universal language.

May we discover the keystone, and let the light unite our Holy Temple.

Alas, it is the path of every individual, and the undercurrent of human history—the hair-narrow bridge between self-awareness and the consciousness of One.
