ambiguity and absolute faith - should they live together (Copy)

FD

I had a portfolio review with an architect yesterday, and I behaved quite childishly - or so I thought - I said ‘I dont like these works, because they dont feel like something I did’ - and she replied, well, can anyone say they own anything, everything is the result of many people involved. it seems like a drive and desire for me to create something that I can call, ‘I created it’, even though if I consciously dont think I do. Deep down, it does appear that we all do. We all have this desire. It’s intersting because my mental gymnastic work on a a daily basis involved getting over that desire of the ‘self’ - but what if I dont need to, what if I just need to channel it somewhere. Again, sounds very obvious.

Back to human/ non-human experience. If the human experience is ‘the self’. The non-human experience is non-self, it’s the realisation that no drives, nor desires exist within the self, but are mere translation from another world we dont see.

why should there be a separation between the two. Someone like sam Harris would say, our job is to break free form the illusion of the self. and I would assume that means, that the drive to feed the self, can be looked at as one of the same drive to translate form an ambiguios world.
