Book Club: Friday June 24th, 8 pm Paris Time, 2 pm New York time
Dearest Friends,
The next Book Club meeting is Friday, June 24th : 8pm Paris time, 2 pm New York time. Kathryn will be hosting.
This week, our quotes come from Rupert's "The Art of Peace and Happiness", p. 116-7:
"Experience is always only one seamless intimacy. But even to say that experience is ‘one’ is to say too much. To name experience as one thing is to imply another thing with which it could be contrasted. When this is seen clearly, thinking comes to an end in front of the majesty and indescribability of experience."
"The mind is, by definition, limited and therefore can never know how things truly are. It can only know how things are not. The mind cannot know whether or not there is something beyond its own limits; it can only know its own limits. It can dismantle its own belief systems, or at least put them in perspective, and it is indeed well placed to do so, for it created them in the first place.
It is for this reason that these contemplations explore our experience and do not limit reality to the mind alone. We go inwards to the heart of experience. We use the mind to deny conventional beliefs but do not replace them with speculation or assertion, unless such an assertion comes from direct experience."
