I want to escape the derivitive. Everything in my life that is. I know that it's at least highly improbable that it can be done... perhaps impossible, but I don't believe that knowledge will quell the desire I have to perceive things free of predisposition and preconception. It's not that I don't value my own experiences, and the body of human knowledge that I have drawn my life from. I do. However, I have this great suspicion that there is a path which will reveal something more. It would of course be beyond language, so I don't think I should attempt to describe it. It just feels like there is something there beneath the patterns and the constructs. Something truly discoverable.

I hope this quote, while obviously derived from an understanding of the standards of humanity, is wrong.

"we are the result of all kinds of influences and there is nothing new in us, nothing that we have discovered for ourselves; nothing original, pristine, clear." ~J. Krishnamurti, Freedom from the Known

"I would like to beg you to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer." Rilke

And dont forget "Repo mans got all night, everynight!"

What question or questions would those be?
