b) 'You never enjoy the world aright until the Sea itself
floweth in your veins.'
Thomas Treherne, 1637-1674
c) 'On the basis of our philosophical inquiry into the
Comprehensive, we shall be better able to understand the great
metaphysical theories of history, the theories of fire, matter, the
mind, the world process, etc. For in reality they were not solely
the object knowledge as which they are often interpreted, and
considered as which they are completely false; they were
hieroglyphics of being, devised by the philosophers out of the
presence of the Comprehensive, for the elucidation of the self and
of being-and then at once mistaken for positive objectivizations
of authentic being.'
Karl Jaspers, Way to Wisdom
(Yale Univ. Press, New Haven, 1954)pp33-34.
