Reflections upon Ancient and Contemporary Thoughts
|
One finds one's teachers spread out across time, across cultures, across languages, sometimes offering many lights, sometimes offering many colors, perhaps once in a lifetime offering an experiential flare then carried within from that encounter forward. When there are so many ideas ancient and modern, one may wonder whether one's own experiential accumulation is mostly common and shared or perhaps unique. One should suspect that across the billions who are and who have been there is little that occurs only once and that what may seem unique occurs much more frequently than one might suspect. |
