You read it! I just found out *jumping up & down with glee* It is a book worthy of you & you worthy of it, and yes, the ignorance of innocence therein (in both places) belie the truths within. Love what you said here: "Truth is a glimmer of light across the wall in a painting by Vermeer. Ignorance is everything else." It's all in the glimmer of light, isn't it? Innocence & all... Namaste, moi You read it! You read it! I just found out *jumping up & down with glee*

It is a book worthy of you & you worthy of it, and yes, the ignorance of innocence therein (in both places) belie the truths within.

Love what you said here:

“Truth is a glimmer of light across the wall in a painting by Vermeer. Ignorance is everything else.”

It’s all in the glimmer of light, isn’t it? Innocence & all…

Namaste,
moi

Love the BBC. Are you sure that wasn't a fictionalized account? I didn't realize those kind of details were available on the painter's life. I'm all in favor of lust, that's for sure, especially when it's repressed and comes out in art. Appreciate the comment. Have a good night with lots of realizations in the dreamtime! Thanks Ron!

When the wife returned home and found out, the girl was forced to resign her job (compare Islamic women beaten for being raped as if it was her fault). However, the painter's or his wife's mother (I forgot), living with them, who had arranged for the posings to bring in the cash, had the earrings been brought to the dismissed maid for compensation. Girl With A Pearl Earring was on the BBC not long ago and it was drama as belief worthy as only the BBC can deliver. Ignorance of this world in the glimmering and innocence in this maid's lust provoking beauty present themselves as reality, if not Truth, in the lives of these people. Not in as far as they think they can control the situation and attempt to until the not so bitter end. Their intuitions keep telling them they are in control, until reality kicks in and things take a different route anyway. Realization usually comes at night, during sleep, in dreams. And knowing what was deeply sensed, connects with sensing what is again believed during the daytime, perhaps this time a little different. That is how we ALL circumvent the mystery of life that we should ENJOY for it is what generates and regenerates meaning in values and norms, that we like to share, to all be connected somehow, in the end. *Back to bed.* The world reflected in the oily shimmer of a pearl ring in this girl’s ear, somewhere halfway the 17th century, was the painters suppressed lust for this maid, who on the occasion of his wife’s being away from home, was given her earring to pose for this painting, ordered by a relative of Vermeer’s (his uncle I believe), who wanted her as much as he did.

The ignorance I'm talking about isn't innocence, because there's no answer to this kind of ignorance, no answer, no change. It's fundamental. Innocence can be changed. As far as knowing too much past, I'm not sure. I think there is always a way to know what's now. At least I hope so! xoxo Hmmm…that could be.

can it only be the observer of these that lay a judgment on what is and is not innocent?

can one return to innocence if one feels unworthy of it? can we really know too much past to let ourselves know whats now?

This kind of ignorance makes everything a mistake, even the right things. It's probably just insanity, I guess, or an ignorance of ignorance. I just have the feeling that plants don't have this kind of deep-seated ignorance, and I can never be as smart as them.

alls i am saying is that if it’s there, why fight it? why not accept ignorance?

What bugs me about ignorance, at least for me, is that it resides in everything, not just some things. The closer I get to anything at all, the less I understand it. Like a wall of ignorance surrounds every single molecule. Weird, huh? Glad you liked the post, dear! Thanks Truly.
