We should be empty of clutching, empty of self, empty of all the old ideas of substance. We should be โlost in the objectivity of world-loveโ, as I have elsewhere put it; or, perhaps better, we should let ourselves be only an empty space filled with brightness. Life lived like that is โeternalโ life.
Don CupittI am suggesting that we can and do regain eternity when we are so immersed in life, in moral action, or in aesthetic contemplation, that we completely forget about time and anxiety.
