RT @nick_routledge: @SherPoint That's an exquisite excerpt. Thank you. I recall the ancient adage that it takes very little to know how to live well, but getting to that point takes a whole buncha knowhow! Coomaraswamy's "end of the matter, the last achievement of all thought, no sacred and no profane," alike.

Copy of tweet here: 1/ "To discover the secret that there is no secret is the ultimate secret that one can neither divulge nor withhold. To see with no veil is to see that there is no seeing without a veil." - E. Wolfson, Messianic Anthropos: Beyond Theopoetic Metaphoricization, Kabbalah & Modernity
@SophiaCycles David Richo: "Everything we take to be an ‘it’ - outside us and coming at us - is actually an ‘I’ - part of us." Jack Kornfield: "What the Buddha found out was that our life is the life of everything else."

Final integration is a state of transcultural maturity far beyond mere social adjustment, which always implies partiality and compromise. The man who is “fully born” has an entirely “inner experience of life.” He apprehends his life fully and wholly from an inner ground that is at once more universal than the empirical ego and yet entirely his own. He is in a certain sense “cosmic” and “universal Man.” He is in a certain sense identified with everybody: or in the familiar language of the New Testament … he is “all things to all men.” He has attained to a deep inner freedom - the Freedom of the Spirit we read of in the New Testament. He is guided not just by will and reason, but by: “spontaneous behavior subject to dynamic Insight.” = Thomas Merton
