GRAVITY ELEVEN -- Saturday, September 26, 1992
Now perhaps a time to take a look at what's been written. It may
seem to some that I'm going nowhere with these notes.
"A good traveler has no fixed plans
and is not intent upon arriving."
A few words reoccur: rambling, childish, distracting.
"A good artist lets his intuition
lead him wherever it wants."
I've spent a lot of time nit-picking about terminology.
"A good scientist has freed himself of concepts
and keeps his mind open to what is."
I've put forth my ideas to the audience.
"Thus the [creativist] is available to all people
and doesn't reject anyone."
Each of your answers has altered the flow of my thoughts.
"He is ready to use all situations
and doesn't waste anything."
With blind faith forward, I'm pleased with what's progressed.
"This is called embodying the light."
I've much to learn from all of you.
"What is a [great] man but a [lesser] man's teacher?"
You too might learn from me.
"What is a [lesser] man but a [great] man's [resource]?"
Because no matter how convinced we're sure of what we know, there's
always the other to consider.
"If you don't understand this, you will get lost,
however intelligent you are."
It's so very very hard to know that I don't know.
"It is the great secret."
quotes from Tao Te Ching, chapter 27,
