View Full Version : Knots - remember that guy - RD Laing - had trouble making sense to himself.

Just using his book title - and the thoughts he had - expanded - not endorsing his books they just try too hard to be cute. -- he was on to something but his words were in circular circulation most of the time. (with an occassional helix thrown in)


Knots - “people have a habit of tying each other up in knots”

Knots, indicating the knots people will tie themselves into through arrogance, laziness or misunderstanding.

Knots - the things we read see or feel and then rearrange them to suit our perceptions of the world - they become jaded and frayed and tangled over the course of time each time we revisit the original knot. Added to this we then share them with someone else who then recalibrates them to be a more exact fit to their already rubik's cube of reality.
These things come to be individual and group truths - fully seeded in the clay and sandy soil of personna. The foundation is always questionable.

knots = man's wisdom sharing itself
love = individuals trying to untie them
sorrow = man's love is not up to the task
keep loving quietly = perhaps you shall over come man's love and find god's love where true wisdom plays.

the knots will continue until we cannot even wiggle one middle finger

I rather liked some of his poetry:

They are playing a game. They are playing at not
playing a game. If I show them I see they are, I
shall break the rules and they will punish me.
I must play their game, of not seeing I see the game.

chanlo - I liked his poetry too - he needed work with his line breaks - and overall like I said he was on to something but in some things he veered of course - in some of his thought he postulated that a schizophrenic was capable of healing themselves -- we have since come to learn that its genetic and chemical in nature and each individual that endures this reacts differently both to degree and lenght of time spent in its grasp. I appreciate your even knowing who he was - even if I don't endorse his books I would never tell anyone not to read for themselves. there will be wisdom.

Agree Crazy Louie, I found him while chasing the causes of insanity. He did veer off course, but, as you say, there was a kernel there.
