“If man did not exist as a world-spanning receptive realm of perception, if he were not engaged in this capacity, nothing at all could exist. 'Being,' in its traditional usage, means 'presence' and 'persistence.' To achieve presence, and thereby being, an entity requires some sort of open realm in which presence and persistence can take place. Thus an open realm of perception like that of human existence is the one being that makes being possible.” IfsMenWorldHumansMeanExistenceAchievePerceptionCapacityTraditionalPersistenceRealmsEngagedEntityHuman ExistenceReceptiveUsage Author:Medard Boss

They are in fact at any given time identical, though they are always changing with the fluid expansion and contraction of my relationships to the world.” WorldFactsGivenUnderstandingBordersOpennessExpansionIdenticalFluidContractions Author:Medard Boss
