You have collected so much, not only books,
houses, the bank account, but inwardly: the memories of insults, the memories
of flattery, the memories of your own particular experiences, neurotic
achievements which give you a position.

Primordial Meditation
Remedios Varo—Solar Music
Our language, all our
fictional productions, are reflections of the universal images in the great
vision of the creation. They are signs from the metaphysical time, from the
enchanted time.

Not to accumulate, but to die every day, minutely, is timeless being
To stop becoming something is to stop accumulating in philosophical
sense.
Not to accumulate, but to die every day, minutely, is timeless being.
The mystics call it a kind of death.
The Stoics trained themselves in being present in the Now by
philosophizing over the meaning of death in their lives.
To philosophize became in that way, for the Stoics, a way of learning
how to die.
An example of this is the Stoic Horace, the man behind the expression
”Carpe diem!” (Seize the day!).
