strings: If we have gone into it at all deeply we are familiar with this process; and. we seem to be incapable of going beyond. We want to go beyond, because we are tired of this endless routine, this mechanical pursuit of sensation; so the mind projects the idea of truth, of God ; it dreams of a vital change and of playing a principal part. in that change, and so on and on and on. Hence there is never a creative state. In myself I see this process of desire going on, which is mechaniCal, repetitive, which holds the mind in a process of routine and makes of it a dead centre of the past in which there is no creative spontaneity. Also there are sudden moments of creation, of that which is not of the mind, which is not of memory, which is not of sensation or of desire.
