Quiroga - 184

 GET TO KNOW LIFE

Eternity and infinity understand us, but we do not understand eternity or infinity, and our fundamental ignorance imposes on us that there will continue to be much more that we do not know about the mystery of Life than what our range of understanding can comprehend, because regardless of this becoming more and more sophisticated every day, it still does not serve the purpose of understanding eternity and infinity, because for now we officially cling to the empirical method of knowledge, which insists that the truth can only be known if we distance ourselves from it in our claim to know her, as if that, and only that, guaranteed an objective point of view.

How could we, expressions of Life, distance ourselves from it in order to know it?

Life, to be perceived as it is, and this perception is available to our humanity through meditation (of course it is meditation that deserves to be called such, and not through practices that use the word meditation only as poetic license), Life, to be perceived as it is, presupposes that we experience it, that we identify with it as it is.

And Life is simultaneously us who want to know it, it, Life, as our object-subject to be known, and Life is also the perpetual choreography between questions and answers, the enchantment that makes the questions exist and the answers to be available.

The comfort and security achieved through commitment and effort tend to consolidate and add even more comfort. Sharing this state of affairs is the future challenge, so as not to become a prison.
