“Historical judgement is not a variety of knowledge, it is knowledge itself; it is the form which completely fills and exhausts the field of knowing, leaving no room for anything else.”

This is a mission and a vision to do good as well as doing well.

Art is what everyone knows it is.

The writing of histories – as Goethe once noted – is one way of getting rid of the weight of the past…. The writing of history liberates us from history.

History is various and sinuous and no essential part of the human spirit is ever wholly absent from it.

Art is ruled uniquely by the imagination.

All history is contemporary history.

Morality, and the ideal of freedom which is the political expression of morality, are not the property of a given party or group, but a value that is fundamentally and universally human… No people will be truly free till all are free.

The translation called good has original value as a work of art.

Art is ruled uniquely by the imagination. Images are it’s only wealth. It does not classify objects, it does not pronounce them real or imaginary, does not qualify them does not define them; it feels and presents them.

There is a danger one has to really be knowing much more because you can’t be too narrow on science.

Relaxing into not knowing is almost like surrendering into a big, comfortable chair; you just fall into a field of possibility.

When you rest deeply in the Unknown without trying to escape, your experience becomes very vast. As the experience of the Unknown deepens, your boundaries begin to dissolve. You realize, not just intellectually but on a deep level, that you have no idea who or what you are.

Learn to drink the cup of life as it comes.

Freedom is a state of complete and absolute insecurity and not knowing. So, in seeking security and safety, you actually distance yourself from the freedom you want.

If you give yourself this gift of not knowing and you follow it, a vast spaciousness and mysterious openness dawns within you.

Meditation is not a technique to master; it is the highest form of prayer, a naked act of love and effortless surrender into the silent abyss beyond all knowing

In true meditation the emphasis is on being awareness; not on being aware of objects, but on resting as primordial awareness itself. Primordial awareness is the source in which all objects arise and subside.
