Why is a living thinking needed, and why is today's thinking a dead thinking? Today's dead thinking is a passive/reflexive thinking. It can formulate what already exists, and be creative within it.

But it can't bring about real change. That's why endless formulations exist, even if they "denounce" the current state of affairs.

Some will then have a formula:

  • if only the bad guys would be removed
  • if only this or that...

A living thinking is a thinking that can enter into the elements --the elemental world– and into the principles active within the world. But now there is something else.. It is a thinking that perceives itself, a thinking that perceives thinking. Why is this important? While any formula, has to go through thinking. And therefore not knowing, or perceiving the very tool that formulates, can lead to a wrong formulation.

Because, it is not about having "one's ideas" which often look so amazing, but it's about having ideas that come from the world. Is the human being than a mere receptor in this?

Even if one dives within the formative forces and constitutive principles relating to this or that, there is still something that only the human being can do.

It is to say that the human being can shape within this and be formative. But this shaping and forming, still needs to happen according to the actual vectors and lines belonging to the world.

There is then no longer a question of "mine" anymore, as to thoughts, or what has to or is being formed. It is to say that a threshold has been crossed, into the objective spiritual ground of the world.

Today that is the threshold that is at stake, and on which all else depends. So much thought is being used in the world, but this thought is the one thing that is the least seen. While it is the one thing that needs the most to be seen..
