It's strange, but after trying for so many years, the objective knowledge in the exact sciences, I have come to the conclusion that the most basic knowledge is self-knowledge: access to the mystery of human nature. Everything starts from there, the same as the natural sciences are nothing but man's relationship with the cosmos in which they are immersed. In this process the most difficult step is to overcome the psychological level, littered with wrecks that are easily mistaken for absolute truth but the Absolute is beyond.
No one has an advantage in this research, because it is not from a basis of prior acquisitions - As in ordinary knowledge - but rather to dismantle all the cultural and psychological obstacles that could prevent the fall in the inner depths. The most brilliant researcher will then be the most cunning, the one that fails to recognize the contingency el'inautenticità also those aspects that everyone else seems essential and constitutive.
awareness is the greatest of all mysteries, its origin, its nature, its relationship with the body ... this is the ultimate challenge for the mind: in a word, to see herself. The awareness of color meanings a world otherwise populated by ghosts and evanescent gray, it might even be the very source of life.
There is no other way to investigate the mystery of consciousness that meditation. Any access and rational discourse to the problem is in fact doomed to failure, since it necessarily creates a separation between observer and phenomenon, thereby dispelling the subjectivity that is the same phenomenon.
Man - like any other institution - is only a partial manifestation of cosmic becoming unitary. We are not simply processes, dynamics within the whole, without a real individuality (rather than the subjective allocated by us to ourselves), and we can not say "body" or "individual" more than I can do it wave regardless from the ocean on whose surface appears and disappears within a breath of wind. The idea of \u200b\u200bstability and permanence that associate with the body is pure illusion, but the self - the complex psychological construction which mistakenly identify ourselves - is disturbed and shocked by this insight, and much more in depth at the root of the mind, the '"I-am" perhaps he always knew.
