Look beyond what you seek.




When I first read this post I thought I wasn't going to understand any of it because I had never taken physics but the more I read I began to slowly see the answer. Now it kind of reminds me of what Rafiki said to Simba in The Lion King and to Timon in The Lion King 1/2 "Look beyond what you seek". In other words if you're looking to hard for something or using your brain to much by thinking you're never going to find what you're looking for even if it was right underneath your nose. However, if you just let it come to you naturally by not thinking and clearing your mind the nonsense will make sense and you will find what you are looking for. For instance Simba got his answer to his problem and Timon found his paradise in Hakuna Matata. The trick is to understand Rafiki, the teacher, nature or any of these riddles that are given by them one must leave the world of the language/thoughts, clear his mind and let it come to him. In a way its almost like when someone tells you a joke and when you try to figure it out you can't but as soon as you stop thinking about it, even if it's a couple days later, you finally get the joke. This is also kind of like how people can pick up on what someone is truly thinking/feeling by watching/observing one's body language. This is because when you realize that their body language doesn't match up/agree with something their saying you can normally tell what they truly feeling/thinking or lying for lack of better term at that moment. Same goes for even if they are quite and are just sitting there you can tell roughly what they are feeling/thinking.



This is when Rafiki starts talking in riddles or koans to Simba and he has to clear is head in order to truly understand what the "monkey" or baboon is actually saying.
