an attempt to “fix this continuous flux”

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Life is a continuous flux and we seek to arrest it…

 

 

kim asendorf

 

 

 

 

The forms in ourselves by which we seek to arrest and fix this continuous flux are the concepts and ideals which we would like to keep consistent, all the pretenses we create, the conditions, the state in which we endeavor to stabilize ourselves.

But inside ourselves, in what we call the soul, which is the center of our lives, the flux continues, indistinct, sliding under the barriers we have set up, beyond the limits we have imposed,

fashioning a consciousness and constructing a personality for us.

At certain violent moments, assailed by the flux, all our make-believe forms crumble miserably;

and even what does not slither under the barriers and beyond the limits, even what is clearly a part of us…overflows in certain moments of fullness

and throws everything into confusion.”

in other words,

 

"Cogito ergo nescio certe."
I think, therefore I don't know for sure.
