There's a step short of submission to a deity: peer-review.
I suspect the author meant something more like 'We do not solely make ourselves, and we cannot solely validate ourselves.'
- spraak 10y agoThat's still validation from the outside, from which one will never receive the clearest, most honest review, though I admit it can be helpful on the journey. The highest clarity comes from within, which is what all paths of truth teach (and in fact, what self-help books are often based on, inspired by, or try -- and sometimes succeed at -- teaching)
- pjmorris 10y agoI have found my highest clarity to occasionally be obscured by clouds, hence my tendency to look outward once in awhile.
- spraak 10y agoYes, me too. Though I don't think it will be the ultimate return. I do believe that someone else who has reached the unreachable can point the way, but that at that point it will still come from within.
