"...His will was indeed his most magnificent accomplishment. But a man can go still further than
that; a man can learn to see. Upon learning to see he no longer needs to live like a warrior, nor be a sorcerer. Upon learning
to see a man becomes everything by becoming nothing. He, so to speak,
vanishes and yet he's there. I would say that this is the time when a man can be or can get
anything he desires. But he desires nothing, and instead of playing with his fellow men like they
were toys, he meets them in the midst of their folly. The only difference between them is that a
man who sees controls his folly, while his fellow men can't. A man who
sees has no longer an active interest in his fellow men. Seeing has already detached him from absolutely everything he knew before."

"A man of knowledge is free...he has no honor, no dignity, no family, no home, no country, but only
life to be lived."

Now, you know where the name of my Blog comes from.
But I like to think, literally, it is possible to stop the time and fold the distance once you are able to 'see'. Told you I am a dreamer.
I think I understand but would rather deny that knowledge. Thank you for another thought provoking meditation.
