Which is the more powerful entity : the known/knowable universe or the unknown/unknowable universe?
It can be proven that all phenomena co-exist and affect each other through the means of exchanging energy (force).This force is either a push or a pull.
Which exerts the most effective force, the known/knowable universe, or the unknown/unknowable universe?
If it is the known/knowable, then I could say that since my senses can encompass (or will in time encompass) the known/knowable universe, I can do as I please. Nothing will suprise me, therefore, nothing can harm me.
However, if the unknown/unknowable universe exerts the greater force, then I will have to accept the fact that the rules that truly govern my existence are unknown/unknowable. I will have to accept that none of my definitions are absolute, that in fact, there might be events occuring within the spheres I have defined (e.g. sex, war etc.) that I have no knowledge of. Events which leave no footprints but have a lasting effect on what I am.
I have often suprised myself (in thought and action), and I have heard people say, "I don't know why I did/thought/said that....".
Perhaps these are caused by the effects of the unknown/unknowable universe.
The most powerful weapon in the known/knowable universe is the word. Words are what bind the known/knowable to the unknown/unknowable. We do not know where the word came from. When we try to explain a word, we use another word, and this process (especially when occuring within us), will eventually bring us up against the unknowable : The word, reduced to silence.
If the word is the most powerful weapon in the known/knowable universe, then the ones who define it's uses and the ways it is deployed will enjoy the greatest influence over events in the known/knowable universe.
In this day and age, the ones currently identified as 'white', have monopolised the word. They have done this to the detriment of other species and, to go along with this plan is nothing less than suicide.
In order that the breach is repaired, the word must be liberated from it's current prison. It is the duty of all sentient beings to re-define meanings and uses. This includes the re-definition of Economics, Education, Entertainment, Labor, Law, Politics, Religion, sex and War. And, this re-definition must take into consideration the probability that there is an unknown/unknowable universe above/below inside/outside of what we know.
