As our minds, we distinguish the relational, cognitive and sensory field that we encounter (and invent) as being.We thus derive the specific classes of idea, language, and phenomenon and the nature of what distinguishes them. It should concern us that our classes are (quite obviously) both crude and terrifically incomplete, and we, unaware of this, are not only failing to develop or correct them... we have become comfortable with their further and ongoing collapse. We have no idea what better or more intelligent distinctions and relationships with them might look like, yet it is the necessity of our minds and potential that we discover and become them. We must not be mere users of our representational assets. They comprise the first and most critical of our ‘technologies’, and where they are distorted or crippled, or worse where their potential for development is reversed, the nature of our intelligence will reflect and extend this damage. It should concern us that the nature of being, relation and reality is fundamentally unified. It belongs ‘to a class that defies all classes’, and its nature is that of a distributed unity. In a completely real sense, prior to the distinctions of language and concept, there is ‘just one thing going on here’. One. The entire cosmos. Each organism or living place, every situation or phenomenon, every way of describing them. One ‘going on-ness’ all at once. Completely together. Explosively alive and beyond all possible category. More than mind. More than being. More than spirit, soul, essence, more than the sun. More than all possible words, in ways that continuously ascend and transcend any hope of capturing them in distinctions. Mind and sensation, forms and relationships, ideas, words... animals, newspapers. One thing going on. And what an astonishingly provocative going on this is. For it is not a thing, going. It is more than being. The emergence of being as going... is going on.
