Inhabiting the Circle


Wednesday 28 February - 24 March

"... the never-to-be-discovered one.
A term I came on yestercay in Jung's Psychology and Alchemy. And this morning I got out of bed to hear myself say "I shall die ignorant!" What is that trying to tell me... for surely I know some things? Maybe knowledge is a colouring of the self stained by experience, memory of a place visited, a globe of phenomenal brilliance and light. When I move through the house, walk in my garden, go shopping, read a book, cook a meal, I am in contact with hundreds of things I essentially know nothing about. My mind slips into a sensation, a timeless moment making itself felt - entry into an unseen universe that lies beihind appearances. After a long lifetime, it suddenly occurs to me this could be love. The rest of the time I am running around in circles.

Two years ago from my washroom window at night, in the dark landscape there rose into the sky an unmoving beam of light. It never wavered. I saw it there night after night, wondering where it came from, what it was doing there and what it could be. After a few months it disappeared. It might have been a searchlight from the army barracks situated in Buckle Street... but what an earth for? Fixed, unmoving, not searching the skies. Even more disconcerting, this episode no longer engaging my attention, I saw there was a chimeny stack in diret line with the beam quite close to my house. A clear unwavering light arise from it... it didn't make sense.

You have only to look at anything in the external world to realise it doesn't make sense! That a mystery is concealed. People, nuts and bolts, anything. Should we find outselves given access to 'what lies behind' then we become isolated by the secret.

Here I come to an abrubt halt in this brief narrative. The intent is to say something about my present work and interests. This further study pondering corn circles... despite being no mathematician, nor able to master advanced geometry. I do respond though, significantly to the patternos of geometry and recognise the amazing harmony and fusion of shapes and forms that seem to reveal the structure and order of the world. By careful pursuit of reproducing these contstructions, I am rewarded and find myself entering the very heart of these mysteries... "
