A System of Truth

Is there or could there ever be a philosophical system
in perfect conformity with the truth?
Certainly not.
A system is  prison of thought.
Life is constant expansion.
Formulation in words would be reduction to your own limits
of what has no size.
Only symbol, parable, and hieroglyphic writing can communicate Knowledge,
and whoever receives illumination receives it for himself alone,
and anyone might receive this light.
But the illumined man, prophet or messenger,
can never do more that indicate the way to follow,
and one can only transcribe forever anew what inspired men have taught.
-R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz
