Enlightenment Now

Piet Mondrian - Composition II in Red Blue and yellow

“Forget yourself.
In order to forget yourself, you should be yourself.
If you are moved, if you are amazed, if you are busy for someone else, if you are able to lose your desire for satisfaction; briefly, a new life enters your soul, then this life lifts your whole being onto which transformation is possible.

If you are moved, you will melt. Now it is important that you, after having melted, flow into a new unity by virtue of the new life.

If you are moved, you are touched and upset, touched and moved.
If you are upset this way, you have forgotten yourself.

This is the wisdom of life. You are a drop of this oceanic wisdom itself. What now matters is to be yourself; what now matters is not to drown in this ocean in tears of emotion, but to allow the new life to do its work within you in a balanced way.
You should stay with it.” - Pentagram, 2011, Issue Number 3.

This free presentation and discussion will be held on Sunday 28th August, 2011 from 11:00am to 13:00pm, on the 6th floor at The Osborne Hotel, 50 South Street, Valletta.

_{Mondrian’s paintings correspond to the worldview of the Theosophical Society, which he joined in 1909. In his later works, he attempted to depict ‘greater unity’ rather than forms that obscure the pure truth. He says “The very emptiness of the paintings leaves the spectator room for his own experiences and thought. [...] if things are not painted, there is room for the divine“. [Pentagram, 2011, Issue 3]}
