| BkVI:14.III.8 | What I mean by that metaphor is that now you are aware of the spirit that animates all things. And even though it animates bodies and matter, it is not touched by it. Just as the air of the atmosphere is unchanged by matter passing through it, just as ether cannot be modified, so is it with the spirit that lives in you. This is why the novelty of knowledge shared with others does not reside in its content but in the form of expression. To do what is eternal in a new way is to create in novelty. |
