Democratizing Enlightenment | February 12, 2015
We
must take care, in our age of scientific mastery, not to treat
enlightenment as the ultimate technological discovery, a state in which
everything is understood, a kind of unified field theory of the spirit
where only experts reign. This is not the quality of real insight. Real
awakening should bring home to us the inexplicability, even
unknowability, of our world.
- Lewis Richmond, "Enlightenment Needs a Minyan"
