enlightenment is not a disappearance


 

Enlightenment

is not an asexual, dispassionate,

head-in-the-clouds, nails-in-the-palms

disappearance from the game of life. It’s a

volcanic, kick-ass, erotic commitment

to love in action, coupled with

hard-headed practical

grist.

QUESTION.

Everyone has a secret agenda.

What’s yours?

 
ANSWER.

To show what a moral vision

would look like if it were rooted in the quest

for beauty, truth, love, pleasure, and liberation

instead of order, control, politeness,

fear, and self-denial.
