informed mania
information has made me schizophrenic
I live many realities
informed dialogue with myself
is more company than dialogue with uninformed others
we see things different
or
I see things
and they do not
knowing something else
makes me someone else
takes me somewhere else
and makes me something more
than the someone I was
but many,
illustrates the ‘some,’ in one
and so,
the sum of 1, I am
as infinite
as knowledge
hence, knowledge is Godly
it is the omnipresence,
of supreme multitasking
the omniscience,
of knowing the ledge to which I stand
all before, within, and behind myself
the omnipotence,
of position influence and reverence wielded to the wise
knowledge is truly The Power
and equally a divine responsibility
it is the duty of good will’s intention
which swaddles the life it spawns
yet, beholding its immense properties
can induce psychopathy
I find myself more apathetic
traversing states of mind or consciousness
and existence
regarding reality with less fear and majesty
venturing the hypertension of unending input
journeying the chaos of unyielding thoughts
assaulting me from all directions
with the challenge and responsibility of
discernment
understanding
action
application
enlightening
and leadership
no knowledge is wise all of its own
it takes utilization
to enter the kingdom of its godly form
but to first know
there is so much to un-know
and so much more to relearn
and even more to do
once more is known
until, all is known
there is nothing I can’t do
so all, I do
and redo
until I undo
all that has become undone
yet I am only one,
me
a One, in the All
a Piece, of a Pie
a Part, of a Whole
though wisdom makes me whole
I am broken into many by knowledge
knowledge of self
per my many states of mind
though singular in my bodily being
I am everywhere, in everything spiritually
new knowledge
creates new identity
adding another ego
to another entity
therefore I Am Many
