In Search of No World View

I find when I stop to look that there are far too many theories - representations of the world - floating around in my mind. They represent the world to me. But, representations are not the world; they are only representations of the world. And, so they make me not see what is there...they add things to what could nakedly be in front of my face. She is no longer naked, but clothed...and I cannot see her, for better or worse, in her nakedness.

Instead of them (facts of how the world must be), I seek within my intuitions and truths which are more truthful than any facts or theories of how the world 'must be'.

W. once said something like - we should see things as they are, not as they must be. Theories tell us how things must be, blinding us from seeing things as they are.

Newton told the world how the world must be. Einstein alone was able to overthrow Newton because he saw things as they are, not as they must be.

In zen there is a koan..."What is your original face before you were born"....throwing out theories of how things must be, seeing them as they are. ...So, I apologize as with each word I write I mis-direct you from seeing what is in front of you...to my false theories on this page.
