Tzu Jan, you had a very spooky life. I have the greatest admiration for
the fact that you have been able to articulate in your contribution which
I, unfortunately, had to snip so much of.
I answered you privately on all issues, except one, in my own mother
tongue Afrikaans. It would be interesting if you could tell us what your
feelings were when reading that reply in Afrikaans, realted to your own
mother tongue Dutch.
The issue which I want to answer on this list, is
Yes, yes, yes, you have the right to change!
This is the very essence of the essentiality "becoming-being". Being and
becoming must be balanced - the one cannot be stressed to the detriment of
the other. You are not only a being. but also a becoming. Your becoming is
not less important than your being. Should it become so, then since
"becoming-being" is one of the seven essentialities of creativity, you
creativity will be seriously impaired. Whenever you then try to construct
(emergently or digestively), destructions (immergences or consumptions)
will prevail.
Best wishes
