WHY LAZARUS LAUGHED : 80




Hard Words - Evasion


Art, literature, music, ornithology, entomology, biology, philosophy, physics, politics ...

Value as dualistic activities? Yes? No?

In relative reality, in any case, evasions, one and all, men and women chasing their shadows. And metaphysics? Methods, techniques, disciplines, of whatever sort or kind?

Reality, in its relative aspect, only knows one activity, one question to be answered, and that is 'Who?'. And one method, which is to look in the right direction.

Note: Any mental activity that is based on the assumption, tacit or admitted, that the thinker is an entity in his own right, is an evasion.

These activities, recognised here as 'evasions' of the real problem, could also be misdirected attempts at reintegration with unicity.
