Beyond Knowledge


"Look around you without thinking, without conceptualization. In seeing, come to no conclusion, no interpretation. In seeing, , simply be in pure perception, pure seeing, pure looking, pure hearing, pure touching, and so on. At these moments you are free from memory and are open to the unknown. You discover things that you never saw before. You see things from a completely new point of view - if we can still speak of a point of view since it is a global feeling.

In pure observation, pure sensation, brain cells which are generally not used are completely open to the creative world. Creativity can never be thought, it comes to you. You must put yourself in a state of receiving, in a state of availability. Do not contaminate these moments with the already known. In other words, be open to the unknown." - John Klein
