LADDERS & VERTICALS

CHIEH/Limitation


Water over lake:
The image of limitation.
Thus the superior man
Creates number and measure,
And examines the nature of
Virtue and correct conduct.
-I Ching


The order that our mind imagines is like a net, or like a ladder, built to attain something. But afterward you must throw the ladder away, because you discover that, even if it was useful, it was meaningless.
-UMBERTO ECO
The Name of the Rose (1982)

-LUDWIG WITTGENSTEIN
Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1921)

-KEN WILBER
The Spectrum of Consciousness (1977)



The fiery steed, regardless of the reins,
Comes prancing on; but sullenly disdains
The path direct, and boldly wheeling round,
Leaps o'er a double space at ev'ry bound:
And shifts from white or black to diff'rent coloured ground.
-MARCUS HIERONYMOUS VIDA
translator OLIVER GOLDSMITH
Scacchia Ludus (1513)
