Space, time

"that everything which can be given to our senses (to the external senses in space, to the internal one in time) is intuited by us as it appears to us, not as it is in itself."
from Immanuel Kant: Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics

The hidden game

Time logic: the depth of this peaceful crest
Through looking glass is blessed into the Blue,
The drown of the crude crowds
New game will raise in water falls, a pure One.

The echoed harps are gathered by the poet
Into a reverse flight of loose sensations.
The hidden game is stopped,
As always does the sea with her green travel cups.

one, two, three

The duality of subject and object and trinity of seer, sight, and seen can exist only if supported by the One. If one turns inward in search of that One Reality they fall away. Those who see this are those who see Wisdom. They are never in doubt.
Forty Verses on Reality By Sri Ramana Maharshi

Colour


41. When the perturbations of the psychic nature have all been stilled,then the consciousness, like a pure crystal, takes the colour of what it rests on, whether that be the perceiver, perceiving, or the thing perceived.
From Patanjali - Yoga Sutras

Brahman’s knowledge

Svetasvatara Upanishad says, “He grasps without hands, moves without feet, sees without eyes, hears without ears. He knows what can be known, but no one knows Him. They call Him the first, the Great person” (VI-8, III-19).
