firstly coming-to-be, then finally ceasing-to-be? We find ourselves here in this wonderful rich andvivid conscious experience and it goes on through life, but is that the end?... Is this present life all to finish in death or can we have hope that there will be a further meaning to be discovered? - Karl Popper
The mind of man is capable of anything –because everything is in it, all the past as well as the future. - Joseph Conrad
We are the music, while the music lasts. - T. S. Eliot
Philosophy is born of wonder, which is then the motor of its proceeding. Art produces wonder which is then its instrumental capacity of knowledge. Wonder is being in the face of being. The harmony of the world is the substance of man and all the cosmos. All things are born of harmony (which gushes from chaos), constitute harmony and continually fight to reconquer it and broaden it.
Poetry guides the course of the stars and guides thus the life of all things. Through poetry and art you discover beauty. But you need to want beauty in order to see it, to bring it into the world. Perhaps this is the new value to be pursued. I wish to pursue it. Perhaps pursue it with you...?
In any case, in beauty there's a tension beyond communion: the tension to be a new man, that new man who is in me must come about in order to be my salvation.
This tension makes me see things differently, to conceive with other modality and perspectives until it leads me to certain elementary discoveries, to certain evidence that fills me with wonder.
Perhaps this is a new moral instance, also, which urges me to seek the path towards a new harmony in the world of the nature of human relationships.
Life is a proceeding towards ever greater clarity and knowledge, something much more intense than any intellectuality, and it is a proceeding towards "individuation", because being different does not mean being individual.
Experience always brings knowledge with it, where intellectuality is only a shadow and outline, and provides contrasts, not individuations. Individuation is a high step that has to be climbed. Its sense is sense of continuous integration with the world, is total adherence. It implies development, capacity to pass fear and regard the different, the world, with an open mind.
The impulse to perceive and to think in "Mind Symbiosis" now appears propitious, indicating a path to follow. It is vision and starting point capable of permeating with self the sense of space, of specific creation, of individual "product". It reshuffles the cards of communication.
If life is yearning, a passionate journey which amplifies the consciousness, it is a moral commitment, without the acrid sense often attributed to the term.
It is joy of moral commitment. It is joy because it promotes love and life, because it guards the shattering impulse of love. All this before any possible design that becomes objectivity of vision and verification. This gives rise to an ideal impulse, a need to project the image beyond the hedge of contingencies. And the design in itself has value.
The permeating and communicative force of the ideal image is put to the test of a real image, which becomes relation, commitment, goal. It walks in the depths: "communication occurs only from depth to depth". In all this, I proceed towards individuation, that is, towards being always more myself. But I still do not know what this is, it is a glimmer that my being pursues, the way I perceive and the light is within me. I know that I do not know, but a recondite part of me does know.
Do you? And if you do, do come and join me in my quest! How? You make the first move - the How I leave to you... just touch me
