When something is universal enough in our everyday lives, we take it for granted to the point of forgetting it exists.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is only when we forget all our learning that we begin to know.
The prerequisite of originality is the art of forgetting, at the proper moment, what we know.
Awareness of universals is called conceiving, and a universal of which we are aware is called a concept.
What is universal can be surprising. Over time you find the kind of stuff which has people thinking 'That is just something that occurred to me... there's something wrong with me', is in fact stuff that is universal.
Not the power to remember, but its very opposite, the power to forget, is a necessary condition for our existence.
We take for granted how our mind puts everything together.
Beginning to create again was something that I took for granted but I never will take it for granted again.
We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget.
When you forget everything, there only remains yourself - and that is not enough.
We have what we seek, it is there all the time, and if we give it time, it will make itself known to us.
