The Spirituality of Imperfection
In order to arrive at what you do not know
It must go by a way which is the way of ignorance.
In order to possess what you do not possess
You must go by the way of dispossession.
In order to arrive at what you are not
You must go through the way in which you are not.
And what you do not know is the only thing you know
And what you own is what you do not own
And where you are is where you are not.
The Spirituality of Imperfection.
T.S. Elliot described this spiritual path of the via negativia in “East Coker”]
