This is also very good advice for creating artworks. "Timeoutofmind" rings
a bell ;-) This is an interface in my ''understanding'' between the
aesthetical and ethical...and turns into the wisdom mentioned before, from
the Cloud of Unknowing...about ''passion'' rising out of ''ever be doing''
-- > "becoming". I know from his writing and diagamising that in the
depths of Otto Scharmer's vision there is a profound ''silence''. Great
paintings both can ''point to'' and ''hold'' this ''silence'' --> "still
point".
Sensibility! That is a clue to wisdom found in another, to me. And that i
find is revealed in relation to the 'natural world', above and beyond
'natural language'.
-in this one thing, all the discipline
Of manners and of manhood contained;
A man to join himself with th'Universe
In his main sway, and make all things fit
One with that All, and go on, round as it;
Not plucking from the whole his wretched part,
And into straits, or into nought revert,
Wishing the complete Universe might be
Subject to such a rag of it as he;
But to consider great Necessity.
John Donne
Most explicitly, i learned from Leyton at Rutgers to believe that what is
metaphysical may, through innered human participation, become physical.
Leyton used the word 'mystic'. No matter ;-) What i took him to mean, and
i take you to mean, and i take myself to mean is precisely what Eliot said
of Donne, " A thought to him was an experience; it modified his
sensibility.'
