Heaven Found Certainty

More From Henry Miller

Because of its concrete content, sense-certainty immediately appears as the richest kind of knowledge, indeed a knowledge of infinite wealth for which no bounds can be found, either when we reach out into space and time in which it is dispersed, or when we take a bit of this wealth, and by division enter into it. moreover, sense-certainty appears to be the truest knowledge ... but, in the event, this very certainty proves itself to be the most abstract and poorest truth. all that it says about what it knows is just that it is; and its truth contains nothing but the sheer being of the thing.

I have a lot of faith. but i am also afraid a lot, and have no real certainty about anything. i remembered something father tom had told me--that the opposite of faith is not doubt, but certainty. certainty is missing the point entirely. faith includes noticing the mess, the emptiness and discomfort, and letting it be there until some light returns.

Politics have always covered two distinct kinds of problems: problems of administrative routine, and those that may be called 'questions of the moment.' a question of the moment is, indeed, a substitute for some notion, such as the idea of god, or hereditary monarchy, or national glory, that has hitherto acted as a symbol of human co-ordination. it provides no new positive certainty to replace the discredited certainty, but is what the name implies: the raising of a question which the old certainty no longer answers.

Scientists do not believe in fundamental and absolute certainties. for the scientist, certainty is never an end, but a search; not the ordering of certainty, but its exploration. for the scientist, certainty represents the highest degree of probability.

If your knowledge of fire has been turned to certainty by words alone, then seek to be cooked by the fire itself. don't abide in borrowed certainty. there is no real certainty until you burn; if you wish for this, sit down in the fire.
