The Journey
Beyond the Known into the Unknown
Known:
Learning the Art
“You are led through your lifetime by the inner learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is your real self. Don’t turn away from
possible futures before you’re certain you don’t have anything to learn from them. You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.”
- Richard Bach
Refining the Art
“When the lowest vertebrae are plumb erect, the spirit reaches the top
of the head. With the top of the head as if suspended from above; the
whole body feels itself light and nimble.”
- Tai Chi Classics
Studying the Art
“The true value of a human being is determined primarily by the
measure and the sense in which he has attained liberation from the self.”
- Albert Einstein
Unknown:
Manifesting the Art (form will become formless)
“You need not leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and
listen. You need not even listen, simple wait. You need not even wait,
just learn to be quiet, and still and solitary. The world will freely
offer itself to you to be unmasked. It has no choice; it will roll in
ecstasy at your feet.”
- Franz Kafka
Living the Art (art will become artless)
“I am that, you are that, all this is that and that is all there is.”
- Unknown
