subtextual awareness

what is enlightenment?
anyhow, that is MY answer, TODAY, as to that puzzlement and to the question of my title.
subtext, subtext, subtext. And these come in domains and various flavours. All textual, but not all in the direct 'reading' in the ordinary sense. A vision beyond vision in experience and not overly distracted by primary vision (it is the primary vision, the ordinary vision, that continues to get in our way and distract. A reading beyond what is laid forth. Does that make sense? I could very easily elaborate if you wish. It makes great sense to me....perhaps not to others. Most cases, for me, it's about poignancy. My 'language' is not yours and I hope you might wish to see what I see.
STILL subscribing to my "powerful" blog still. Bless you.
One more penny...it is all about a grand struggle against what we see laid out in front of us....A sort of 'sensory confusion of consciousness' if you will (if consciousness be construed as awareness--the 'awareness' we take as awareness) against what we learn to be true. Sorry if the idea of 'truth' threw you, but again, that takes elaboration as well.
Today I have light and for that I am grateful. I am nothing without light (amid my darkness).
compostion is the most difficult of expressions in communication I'm finding. So....all apologies for obscurity or even over simplicity.

“STILL“ - just starting!
”compostion is the most difficult of expressions in communication I'm finding.” I've been surprised to experience the same, lately. But I find reading the way you're writing above is perhaps more clear than if you'd edited and re-edited… I prefer the essence over polish.
Perhaps there's something powerful in being clumbsy. Shows your uncertainty and actual position. Which is NOT polished, but a work in progress. More raw, more honest, more real, more into the unknown in a humility of where I actually am?
I often leave a sketch or a painting almost finished…on purpose… Works in progress are full of possibilities; can inspire possibilities. The unknown can be “more honest”…freeing.
My feeling is there is definitely something powerful in being “clumsy.” Dandelion Wine is first on my Books list here for that very reason…
I think when or if we spend time polishing and refining, sure we create a gleam and a sheen…but we lose (?) those “more raw” edges; we smooth them over…with, what?
