The Other Side of the Moon of Our Own Minds

At this moment it is more about what lies beyond the scope of the visible, such as the other side of the moon, than coming to terms with what is. Taking metaphor at its word, one would need not only to get to the other side of the moon but also to be able to shine a light on what one cannot see otherwise. Beyond the technical impossibility of such undertaking lies the understanding that there are dark areas that have to be accepted as such and without possibility of bringing them to consciousness as a field of unimpeded perception. Not just a consequence of the play of light and shadow, the other side of the moon that is arguably always the other side of the satellite that turns in concert with the earth in a way that only one side is always visible from wherever one finds oneself at the moment is a spatial given that withdraws itself from an access through discursive means. For my purposes here, the unconsciousness or the areas of our consciousness that recede into the shadows of our reason and reasoning is the other side of the moon that one might as well come to terms with accepting the aporias and impossibilities of actually getting to know what it is like.
