Quote by Medard Boss, A Psychiatrist Disc

Only a human being who is deeply moved by awe and who remains in a state of reverence does not fall prey to the will-to-explore-and-dominate that which shows itself to him, but remains all ears and eyes for the summons of the awe-inspiring phenomena. The awe-inspired person does not want to get hold of or to possess what he reveres, with the aid of his intellectual concepts. He seeks only to get himself into the frame of mind appropriate to the revered object--one which renders him open to its summons and makes his vision clear for its beckonings. He knows: if he manages to comply with the phenomenon that is worthy of his awe so perfectly that he catches sight of its entire truth, he has succeeded also in releasing himself from the chaos of all delusions.http://www.hermes-press.com/elemental_index_one.htm

Summary

This quote explores the value of awe and reverence in approaching the world around us. It suggests that a person who is deeply moved by awe is able to resist the urge to explore and dominate everything they encounter. Instead, they remain open and receptive to the awe-inspiring phenomena, without trying to possess or control them.

This vision and understanding allow them to break free from delusions and attain a deeper connection with the world.
