HI,
Sometimes synchronicity strikes and you have not choice but to act upon it. Last week I was in a bookstore with my girlfriend and she picked up a book called "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle maintenence". She's never read it, but recommended it to me as a must read piece of literature that she's heard refferenced many times. A few days later I picked up another book that I've owned for quite some time and the Zen Motorcycle book was mentioned. A while later I was speaking online (soccer website) about david icke and the guy I was speaking with mentioned the book. Next day I shot into the bookstore and picked it up.
It's a fictional story with loads of wisdom and deeper meaning, it made a big splash when released in the 1970's. If David Icke has not read this book I would highly recommend someone get a copy to him.
Here follows an extract....
Page 287.
Romantic reality is the cutting edge of experience. Its the leading edge of the train of knowledge that keeps the whole train on the track. Traditional knowledge is only the collective memory of where that leading edge has been. At the leading edge there are no subjects, no objects, only the track of Quality ahead, and if you have no formal way of evaluating, no way of acknowledging this Quality, then the entire train has no way of knowing where to go. You don't have pure reason - you have pure confusion. The leading edge is where absolutely all the action is. The leading edge contains all the infinite possibilities of the future. It contains all the history of the past. Where else could they be contained?
The past cannot remember the past. The future cannot generate the future. The cutting edge of this instant right here and now is always nothing less than the totality of everything there is.
