Meditation Retreat

” Aesthetic contemplation allows one to escape, albeit temporarily, this pain because it stops one perceiving the world as mere presentation. Instead one no longer perceives the world as an object of perception (therefore as subject to the Principle of Sufficient Grounds; time, space and causality) from which one is separated; rather one becomes one with that perception:”one can thus no longer separate the perceiver from the perception”” (The World as Will and Presentation, section 34)
