| BkVII:2.II.1 | The full picture can now be seen. If you cancel the expression of what you are, you cancel the true being from which it emerges. Obviously this does not mean that the being ceases to exist, but that its lack of expression prevents your consciousness from noticing its existence. This prevents you from being able to meet yourself. And if you don't fully meet yourself, you cannot live in the fullness of being—which is the same as saying you are not. Remember, being expresses itself to make itself known. This is how it participates in existence, or knowledge, for knowing and being are linked. |
