Keep Going, no Philosophy to see here.

Life is continuously surpassing old positions. To qualify: there are stages at which you pause maybe for years and then move forward. The sage’s way is to view these stations ironically. There is no terminus, the movement is an illusion. What then is the point of teachings, techniques and theory.

Philosophy that you remember by poring over it and getting it by heart has failed you. In the always new creation of the present moment it is an attention to a previous state, a fixed apotheosis. You have made an idol of it to keep on your mantle shelf.

So why do you continue to read it if not to discover traces of an energy that you can use? We do it to keep up our morale in the way that devotees read the lives of their saints. These were serious seekers. Our dilettantism is abashed, flaneurs that we are.
