Page 131 keyword growth everything is just station and then bringing forth. To let each impression and each germ of a feeling come to completion holy and itself, in the dark, in the inexpressible, the unconscious, beyond the reach of one's own intelligence, and the weight with deep humility, and patience the birth hour of a new clarity: that alone is living the artist's life: and understanding as in creating. By Raynor Maria rielke if we choose to live well, to gain the rewards of maturing generativity, we need to give birth to new ways of thinking and living, the new values in this new period. We can trust that the life we need to live is in printed deep within us. Our main task is to let go of that which will block the birth. G Spencer Brown, British mathematician wrote about this in his book laws of form. He knew the power of the inner life and it's gestation, the power of taking time to allow something you to be born. To arrive at the simplest truth Brown acknowledged requires years of contemplation. There is little guidance for the kind of gestation time needed for this. Brown found that the process did not include reasoning, talking, reading, calculating, at the or thinking. He learned to simply bear in mind what it was you needed to know. In order to claim such quality of time, he had to pretend to be actively and diligently engaged in " work ". Learning to claim the reflective time we need is important if we are going to give birth to a new way and live lives rich with meaning. Many of the ideals and goals would serve this well before, fall before the challenges now. Those who change in accordance with the deeper design of life will repenefits for themselves and those around them. Those who hold on to the inadequate goals of youth will increasingly become disheartened until life and aging brings despair and disgust.
