#JEANGEBSER ON THE NATURE AND USES OF ORIGIN
“Origin is ever present. It is not a beginning, since all beginning is bound to time, and the present is not the mere ‘now’, today, or the moment. It is not a time division, rather an achievement of wholeness, and this always original.

Image containing a text quotation, with a bouquet of bright yellow and orange flowers in the lower left-hand corner. The text, from Jean Gebser, quoted in Jeremy D.

Every word, after all, is not only a concept or a fixed equivalent in writing; it is also an image and thus mythical, a sound and thus magic, a root and thus archaic, and thus, by virtue of this root meaning, still present from origin.

Anyone who takes to heart the solution to our problems, and who has not forgotten that we partake every moment of our lives in the originary powers of an ultimately spiritual nature, will be willing to participate in this task."

Contemporary methods employ predominantly dualistic procedures that do not extend beyond simple subject-object relationships; they limit our understanding to what is commensurate with the present Western mentality.

The divided human being is replaced by the whole human being;
The emptiness of the limited world is replaced by the open expanse of the open world.”

Integral reality is the world’s transparency, a perceiving of the world as truth: a mutual perceiving and imparting of the truth of the world and of man and of all that transluces both.
