RE: R2R Reflections: Immense Wealth! Yet, still the "pursuit of more" ...
I think what I wanted to convey was that if you want to integrate the written for yourself too much and bring it into everyday life, it can often come to narrowing and disturbances, because you want to enforce the principle too much, no matter how honourable. Whenever I want to force a certain rule too much in my relationship with my son, think regulations too rigidly, try to subject what I do to a constantly recurring pattern, it rather turns into the opposite.
The scriptures, no matter whether they are the Bible or other legacies, I have noticed, are rather something in their meaning existing in the background, less that one walks with them through the front door and wants to teach it to someone who has not asked for it. The richness of meaning is rather dedicated to the unspeakable, to that which cannot be explained so precisely, if one tries it, one realizes that it does not succeed. I would therefore agree and say that written remains are valuable. Something that reads and feels right can simply be quoted and passed on in the same way. But when you try to categorize and analyze it, often only a weak version of the original comes out. I see it that scripts can inspire the artistic, which is why they are so popular. But only those who have the talent to do so are able to bring the writing light back into a writing form.
In my eyes, it has become a fashion to rattle after the valuable written traditions without reaching the depth that the creator or author reached. Particularly in the spiritual realm, the reader becomes impatient and publishes what he believes he understands as a kind of "how to..." or life instruction. The pearls want to be found in this stream of publications. ... Well, maybe that's quite good, because how else can you distinguish the beautiful from the ordinary?
Have a good time with your children.
