When you look into an abyss...

[duszek]

Nietzsche can provide food for thought.
He can provide insights that you can disagree with and which thus make you think why you disagree.

That is what words and texts can be good for.

They are vehicles for the thoughts made in your mind.

Zen Buddhists work with words too. They get a contradictory statement from a master and try to solve the problem by meditating over the text.

I don´t have an example from Zen, perhaps "Fair is foul and foul is fair" could be one.

Life without words would be as empty as life without music.

Again, the clarity I speak of is something one has to taste.

So say all gnus.

All literal attempts at defining it fall short.

Then define the methods and techniques to achieve the state.

Just the nature of the beast.[/size]

Nah! Just the limitations of your understanding about it.

Still...I hope you have a breakthrough...[/size]

Not if it leaves me in your state of mind thanks.
