If we observe
carefully, there are two kinds of certainties in us
which, although they have the same name, are deeply
different one from the other. The first kind we
get from a knowledge of a deterministic and well definite
nature, which is usually attained during some
experiences. Such certainty refers to something easily
identifiable and does not play a particularly relevant
role in our ways of being. The other kind of
certainty, instead, is of esoteric nature and belongs to our
interiority: suddenly it reveals itself and is inside us,
without explanations. It does not depend on our wishes.
We recognize it immediately and from that moment on it
lives in us. It represents a force. However, man is particularly clever at fooling himself. He often flatters himself that he can turn into a certainty something which represents instead just a projection of a non esoteric wish. |
