As a Life Artist you must push desire aside; the desire after identification with a person or an idea or a thing

As a Life Artist you must push desire aside; the desire after identifying yourself with a person or an idea or a thing.

This doesn´t lead to harmony, unity or love.

The question then becomes: can you break out of this frame?

How this shall take place in philosophy as an art of life, can´t be answered with a method, the answer rather consists in a voyage of discovery, which perhaps can open the door; just like Faust, who unwraps himself from Mefistoteles´ word-web, by making a journey through it, without knowing where it brings him.

Philosophy as an Art of Life is not the chase after a thought or an idea

Philosophy as an Art of Life is all thinking´s essence, which is to go beyond all thought and feeling.

It is, as Plotin said, the thinking´s journey back to its own Source.

Not until then philosophy is a movement into the unknown.

To meditate is a voyage of discovery into the known, into your own perspective and history, into the whole of your world of ideas, knowledge, faith and experience, and through discrimination, to be released from it, and thereby to enter into the unknown, into the Source of wisdom.

On this journey you are in company with Odysseus, Dante and Faust.
