What's all the fascination with facts?

You do know, surely, that facts - so-called information, whether proved or otherwise (since most people call information that at least somebody believes is true, to be facts... but they aren't of course!) - are only "important" to personality, what some call, ego, but in any case it's the lowest level of it. "Facts" are what allow personality to fill out forms, create shopping lists, carry on ordinary conversations with friends, family, work-mates and others.

But, "facts" are in no way necessary to those on, let's just call it, a higher quest. The Higher Quest is not for thought-centric information, but energy-centric illumination, and there is a subtle, though awesome when seen clearly, distinction between information and illumination.

Ordinary information does not - EVER - illuminate, but only confuse. Here, is being used the following distinction: Illuminate can be used not only in the literal (physical) sense, to "make light", but also in the metaphorical (abstract) sense of "make clear" as in, "he attended an illuminating lecture which helped him understand Einstein's theories." So, in this case the opposite would be "confusing".

Facts do not illuminate, they confuse, and so long as someone doesn't readily SEE THAT CLEARLY, they still don't see it at all, or see it as something else, thus remaining confused as ever.

Content is what the ordinary mind deals in, one hundred percent of the time it is active. PROCESS is what consciousness observes, one hundred percent of the time it is active.

THAT is the Higher Quest of the Higher Guest who SEES CLEARLY who he is, and where he is, and why he is, THERE. NOW. ALWAYS.

Hey, I "love" facts as much as the next guy: movie reviews, book reviews, webpage reviews, people reviews, reviews of reviews and all the critiques of all those glowing and not-so-glowing reviews, but REALLY! Doesn't there come a point above which even the next guy discovers all of it only feeds his lower personality with coarse (at best) energies, and NOT EVEN CLOSE his probably as yet unrealized or  even experienced higher energies - notwithstanding all his protestations and claims otherwise - which in this piece is being termed Higher Quest.

Yes, it is a Quest for Higher energies that remains, always and everywhere, just outside one's reach, above the line of sight and sound where the pitifully few (after all these years!) and still wandering, starving neurons of his "better nature" beg for crumbs from you.

ps - there were, in this ad hoc performance, as usual, no "facts" pushed or pulled, supported or denied, claimed or refuted, in the PROCESS of its timely production... can you say (think) the same in your reading of it...? Hmmmm.
