Ambiguity
Reality is ambiguous. So many philosophers, poets, theologians and scientists have tried to define reality but none have succeeded. Yet all have succeeded. For many people ambiguity is aggravating. They desire an answer that ties up all the loose ends. They demand certainty. Certainty is illusion. Truth is not a point. It is a wave. Reality is outside and inside and in the infinite grey between.
Obscurity
If ambiguity is reality, obscurity is how we experience it. Everything seems hidden, especially truth, unless of course, we declare we know it. CODA connects the obscure to the ambiguous. If as some philosophers say, we are something like holograms, the entirety of the universe is within us. CODA attempts to reach into obscurity to try to retrieve the knowledge of who we are. We are us.
For a deeper understanding of the philosophical implications of accepting ambiguity, one of the best sources is The Ethics of Ambiguity by Simone de Beauvoir: "Man must not attempt to dispel the ambiguity of his being but, on the contrary, accept the task of realizing it.”
“While fame impedes and constricts, obscurity wraps about a man like a mist; obscurity is dark, ample, and free; obscurity lets the mind take its way unimpeded. Over the obscure man is poured the merciful suffusion of darkness. None knows where he goes or comes. He may seek the truth and speak it; he alone is free; he alone is truthful; he alone is at peace.” Virginia Woolf
"God and other artists are always a little obscure." Oscar Wilde
CODA Welcomes Converts!
These generic people had no idea they would be converted to the most important church since the last most important church! The extraordinary thing about CODA is no one need do anything except spread the word of CODA! Tell your friends! Especially tell your acquaintances! Even people you haven't met or friended on Facebook can benefit from the teachings of CODA! You don't have to give money! You don't have to give your physical presence! You only have to give a thought... when you can spare it! That's all!
