I am reminded of a favorite quote by Lucy Grealy in her book “Autobiography of a Face”. “I used to think truth was eternal, that once I knew something, once I saw, it would be with me forever, a constant by which everything else could be measured. I know now this isn’t so, that most truths are inherently unretainable, that we have to work hard all our lives to remember the most basic things. ” what do i KNOW for sure? I live. 5 Reply Michael7 years agoMichaelUltimately? Nothing.

Freshness and a deep joy are signs of the current.” RUMI RUMI’S wisdom points to what some have named the “Self Evident” and this term is echoed, again, in these flowing words by Plotinus …quoting here from Bucke’s ‘Cosmic Consciouness’ “The wise man recognizes the idea of the good within him. This he develops by withdrawal into the holy place of his own soul. He who does not understand how the soul contains the beautiful within itself, seeks to realize beauty without by laborious production. His aim should rather be to concentrate and simplify, and so to expand his being; instead of going out into the manifold, to forsake it for the One, and so to float upwards towards the divine fount of being whose stream flows within him.” Read More6 Reply Sieger des Friedens7 years agoSieger des FriedensYeah, indeed very little but impeccable: the power of light, rhythms (cycles of law) of the universe, frequencies of interrelatedness and timing, …. few basic and underlying principles which life provides like creation and death, changes of manifestations of life, Onnness….may be all what I just described are also thought patterns, which I am constructing in order to get better acces to – as all believe systems offer.
