We Should Stake Our Whole

Man Wishes To Be Confirmed In His Being By Man, And Wishes To Have A Presence In The Being Of The Other…. Secretly And Bashfully He Watches For A Yes Which Allows Him To Be And Which Can Come To Him Only From One Human Person To Another.

Jedes Geeinzelte Du Ist Ein Durchblick Zu Ihm. Durch Jedes Geeinzelte Du Spricht Das Grundwort Das Ewige An. Every Particularthou Is A Glimpse Through To The Eternal Thou; By Means Of Every Particularthou The Primary Word Addresses The Eternal Thou. 164

God Cannot Be Seen, But He Can Listened To And Spoken To!

When I Confront A Human Being As My Thou And Speak The Basic Word I-thou To Him, Then He Is No Thing Among Things Nor Does He Consist Of Things. He Is No Longer He Or She, A Dot In The World Grid Of Space And Time, Nor A Condition To Be Experienced And Described, A Loose Bundle Of Named Qualities. Neighborless And Seamless, He Is Thou And Fills The Firmament. Not As If There Were Nothing But He; But Everything Else Lives In His Light.

You Do Not Attain To Knowledge By Remaining On The Shore And Watching The Foaming Waves, You Must Make The Venture And Cast Yourself In, You Must Swim, Alert And With All Your Force, Even If A Moment Comes When You Think You Are Losing Consciousness; In This Way, And In No Other, Do You Reach Anthropological Insight.
