This means that we can be moved only by persons who are not who they are; we can be moved only when we are not who we are but what we cannot be … We can be moved only by our veils. We are touched through our veils.*
James Carse
The idea that we live in a mental model of reality, rather than reality itself, is fundamental to the philosophy of William Blake … although the world appears to be outside of you, what you experience as the world is created in your mind.**
John Higgs
Force believes the veil to be reality,
Touch allows that this may not be so,
Surprise is touch’s child,
A sign that something new may appear –
Perhaps we do not grow through certainty.
