swirl of illusion

Verbal language is over-rated. It divides us from our creatural selves.
Plato held the thesis that our senses mislead us.
Aristotle held that appearance is central to identity and truth.
The West argues that our senses are less reliable than script, The Word is truth.
It is odd that writing, so seemingly neutral, turned the pictogram----holding two identities----into stylized abstracts, distanced from their organic origins. (This distance is increased even further when we no longer "draw" the letters, ink on paper.)
Indo-European beliefs maintain that impressions are but a swirl of illusion. All "world religions" divorce themselves from chthonic centering and in so doing, reject the earth as home...wild animals are relegated to an inferior world, corresponding to our instinctive psyche, repudiated as a lesser phenomena.
Wild Animals had been our archetypes, immemorial mentors, like dream bearers, protecting the mind from schism. Taking us from wholeness and wholesomeness we wither.
If we insist that we are the center of a narcissitic cosmos, dividing us from the truth of mulitplicity and metamorphosis both without and within we colapse in upon a smallness of mind.
All true wholeness is plurality.
Verbal language is flat, foolishly rational, rigid and right-handed.
Visual language is boundless, immense, varied, alive and connected to all life and beyond.
