The mysticism of knowledge rises from the desire not only to see all things as one but to see them in a deeper union with all other seers, to see all as one, to see as one.*
James Carse

The seat of the soul is where the outer and inner world meet.**
Novalis

How can we know that which is unknowable?;
James Carse relates the story of on anthropologist who wasn’t
taken seriously by others of her field for living among the people
she was studying, for confusing the words “they” and “we” –
Carse concludes: She had drawn closer to
seeing with the eye of God.*

Whilst anthropologists tell us many important things about
what makes us human, mystery remains, we are
mysterious beings, to ourselves as well as to others, out of which
the extraordinary arises:
Closeness is the best means we have to know more –
Closeness to ourselves and to one another.

You never know who will go on to do good or even great things or become the next great influencer of the world – so treat everyone like they are that person.^
