by | May 2, 2020 | 0 comments

“We can’t possibly know who we are, just as the eyes can’t see the back of the head, how the nose can’t smell the stomach, how the ears don’t hear the brain, or how the hand can’t clap itself.  Our organism is not designed to ‘know’ itself, but to dabble in delusion, to pursue in folly, to explore the hazy unknown.  In just the same way, the human mind is designed to ask ‘why’, but not to receive’ the answer.”
