It burns within me

It burns within me; the desire to know. It dances in circles around my senses, teasing me, close within my grasp. But I feel that the more I learn the less I know.

I feel that as I grow larger in learning I grow closer to less, and closer to knowing.
It's a delicious yet scary enigma.

Hear ye! O hear ye!! I personally am only concerned with reach’n the Great Beyond after I make the daisies grow; my NINE fragrant, flagrant, fire-extinguisher-blogs can show YOU how to riseabove this insane culture-of-the-dead. And, yes, YOU can certainly plagiarize anything from our award-winning, kick-ass, avant-garde efficaciousness --- Strive for Heaven, people. You will NOT be disappointed. How long is an earthly, giraffe’s neck? Precisely. To-the-point. Yet, Heaven’s eternal, so’s the Abyss. WE CANNOT STAY HERE DUE TO OLD AGE.

Boy, do I identify with that! The closer I think I'm getting, the greater the mystery and further away it becomes. I've had dreams like that, symbolizing a loss of control. The more I let the ego get control, the further away the carrot. Not surprising considering the job of the ego.
How come you're not blogging right now?

There is a name for it and it is called existential angst. I recall asking someone about it and that was the name given by a professor from Princeton. I mention the university as a way of propping up my argument (logical fallacy). Just stay with the feeling and let it burn. Eventually it will go away. There is a great book called Focusing that you may wish to get. It trains the person on how to just stay in a given situation.
