The Knowing

Ignorance is hardly a choice and it being called "Bliss"is just an inevitable social cover up like the Virgin Mary. While ignorance is a function of faith, the dilution of its method may be far from initial comprehension. The method of dilution itself works in two steps -  At first, Gradual and then, the One fine day. Gradual dilution is like a benign tumor. It just grows on you, in you. You knowingly or unknowingly become comfortable with it and the curve of the function will hardly be steep, until one fine day. The "One Fine Day" is the cruder and most effective step. It mostly follows naivety of trust and blind faith. It cuts like a knife. It like this. For Eg: As a victim of consumerism, you Believe in any news you hear and see with or without skepticism. You go on for sometime.You believe. You preach. You Blog. You advertise. For some people it takes a lifetime. But that is because you have grown as the part of the system like the tumor. No harm yet, but just growing, ignorantly while your intelligent human mind is absorbing the perils, the destruction, the heartbreak to follow, feeding the chasm of your light-hearted personalities And then one fine day, it happens.It breaks. For some very evolved species, the naivete may just cease to exist. The cynics. Good for them but the process is important to appreciate whats comes next. And its not until you get up and see through it, when you know it is that One Fine Day. That explains that you are not just the victim of consumerism anymore, you are crossing over to the dark side. "One Fine Day" is not an expression. It is The moment of reckoning. It is when your personality starts becoming complex with the pollution of the real truth, albeit for the better.  While the illustration is used to substantiate the method, the point of ignorance transcending towards the Knowing is  the matter of importance here in its most profound cognizance. The use of the word Knowledge becomes a cliche and an unnecessary conclusion to the point, as Ignorance is only paucity of Knowledge in the realms of the literary and more sophisticated world. The profoundness lies not in knowledge, but the progress towards the Knowing. Its when you look beyond the knowledge of injustice, heartbreak, destruction, manipulation, tactical maneuvering, white lies, deep lies, compulsive lies, all of that, and beyond the justice story of the victim and the acquitted, beyond the painful process of the method. Its not a reaction. Its not a hate mail. Its not a consumer complaint. Its not a spiteful revenge. It is not Marxist.

When you can watch the world  pass by with that sweet smile of victory, a victory of attaining complete awareness and knowledge, when extreme reactions cease to exist, you know you have the Power of the Knowing.
