...Saint Anthony the Great.. “(...) the signs”, says he, “that reveal arational and virtuous soul, are: the glance, the laugh, the occupations and theencounters with others”. It ust be so. !ut we also "eel that the soul is one withthe body li#e the horse$rider is one with the horse. And it ight be the case thatyou only render the horse, not the horse$rider as well. %here is a gallop o" thehorse, together with the horse$rider, but above it, there is the gallop o" the horse$rider towards his viewless goal. &ou can render the "orer, and it sees to ethat this is where cineatography started "ro: "ro the attept to render the

gallop o" the horse. !ut the later, the gallop o" the horse$rider, you do not render.

'hat is true in the world, cannot be seen. &ou can rather render inpictures the paradise than the aspiration towards paradise. Since you have put sowell into play the eterior eye, pulling down the eyelids o" the inner eye. e whowants to be a true an ust try to becoe a shadow in his li"e. &ou cannot doanything with shadows.

 %ogether with everyone else today, you wor# on the context, not thetet. 'e do not even realise how uch the odern world  is latened by thecontet. *or everyone, we want to create the per"ect conditions to. 'e want to

prepare the apparition o" we don’t reall !now w"at . 'e per"ectly train horses "orgallops towards obscure goals. And the eans and the oney, but especially theoney, in a considerable part o" the world and in so any hearts, represents thecontet ecellently. +ven this legitiate strive "or peace and balance in the worldgrandly inscribes itsel" in the line o" the contet. !ut what is our tet

And the contet is seen, while the tet is not seen. 'hen you have it, orat least when you are under the illusion that you have a tet, the contet coesby itsel", it grows "ro the tet or it leaves you indi-erent.

 &ou can nd e in this attic#, happy, or under an illusive happiness,soewhat ipassive towards the contet, which can, ultiately, belong to others,

to y "riends that want to retain soething on an inner screen. I as#ed one youngartist wandering in these places to paint soe bisons on the walls o" the ansard$roo"ed roo that leads to the chaber and that reseble the /ave o" Altaira. Intwo years tie, i" I a still alive, I will as# another young "riend to paint eby0antine "rescos. I" two girls coe to nd soething about the tet o" aneistence, I will as# the to plant a 1ower parcel, as they would li#e, in the "ronto" the house. I a not in y house. !ut it is as i# I a in y house, which alsobelongs to the others. 'hat a happiness $ I don2t posses it. 3ne o" the "appenin$sin li"e is to have property without possession.
