There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up.

We are afraid to the point of panic, not so much of seeing ourselves as of being seen by ourselves. This is our root absurdity. What is behind this great fear?

“You've always been wrong. Like me, like any man, you've let yourself slide down easy, futile slopes. Your mind has traveled only in dreams toward the truth. Compare your thought today with the things which stand in your way; your fondest theories vanish before the wall of appearances. That veil of colored shapes, sounds, and other perceptible qualities that is so easily termed illusory is solid, never-theless. This is where you started, but you chose the wrong door. Or rather you thought you started; you fell asteep on the threshold and dreamed your beliefs about the world and the mind. Today I'm waiting for you on the threshold. Well take our first halting steps together. I'm asking you first to look around you, right now, with total candor. See what is before you. Above all, don't start to question the reality of this world. By what authority could you judge it? Do you know what absolute reality is: Whoever starts on a voyage must start from wherever he is; he mustn't think the destination is already reached just because he has an accurate and detailed itinerary in his hands; the line he has drawn on a map has no meaning unless he can pinpoint his present location. You as well: look at yourself. I mean: wake up, find yourself. The place where you are is where you have to begin: the present state of your consciousness, together with all that it contains. And all our speculation will never amount to more than the itinerary of a merely possible voyage.” - Rene Daumal

The very name ' #philosophy' gives us to understand that it is not an end in itself. #Socrates, with his badgering good sense, said that the philosopher cannot possess wisdom, since 'philosopher' means he who loves or seeks wisdom.

Words are made for a certain exactness of thought, as tears are for a certain degree of pain. What is least distinct cannot be named; what is clearest is unutterable.

He was an associate of the later period of #Camus and other intellectuals, they both knew #SimoneWeil, and they all travelled in the same circles as #ReneDaumal, #JeannedeSalzmann etc who were followers of #Gurdjieff, and all of whom were also living in Paris during WWII.
