More From Karl Jaspers

Any philosophic explanation of quality is going to be both false and true precisely because it is a philosophic explanation. the process of philosophic explanation is an analytic process, a process of breaking something down into subjects and predicates. what i mean (and everybody else means) by the word 'quality' cannot be broken down into subjects and predicates. this is not because quality is so mysterious but because quality is so simple, immediate and direct.

Meditation is not a process of learning how to meditate; it is the very inquiry into what is meditation. to inquire into what is meditation, the mind must free itself from what it has learnt about meditation, and the freeing of the mind from what it has learnt is the beginning of meditation.

I'm even stunned at some of the majors you can get in college these days. like you can major in the mating habits of the australian rabbit bat, major in leisure studies... okay, get a journalism major. okay, education major, journalism major. right. philosophy major, right. archeology major. i don't know, whatever it is. major in ballroom dance, of course. it doesn't replace work. how about a major in film studies? how about a major in black studies? how about a major in women studies? how about a major in home ec? oops, sorry! no such thing.

To concentrate is not to meditate, even though that is what most of you do, calling it meditation. and if concentration is not meditation, then what is? surely, meditation is to understand every thought that comes into being, and not to dwell upon one particular thought; it is to invite all thoughts so that you understand the whole process of thinking.
