The word philosophy means love
of wisdom, or love of learning.
To learn in philosophical
sense is a continual movement, a continual renewal. It is not ”to have
learned”, and see on the basis of that.
Usually we see on the basis of
a memory about what we have learned, and have experienced; memory is the
starting point. This is therefore not to see, not to learn in philosophical
sense.
That something is learned in
philosophical sense presupposes a mind, which each time learns anew.
There must be a creative
emptiness.
The mind must therefore always
be new and ready to learn, just like a child.
For that reason, it doesn´t
interest the Philosophical Globetrotter to worship memory, but rather to
observe, see and experience what really happens.
As a Philosophical
Globetrotter you must try to be extremely aware, awake, so that the seen and
learned don´t become a memory from which you see, and which in itself is a
distortion.
You must each time see as if
it was the first time!
