longing for light
Damals verstand ich, dass in der Seele von Uranfang her eine Sehnsucht nach Licht wohnt und ein unabdingbarer Drang, aus ihrer uranfänglichen Dunkelheit herauszukommen.
Die Sehnsucht nach dem Licht ist die Sehnsucht nach Bewusstsein.
At that time I understood that from first beginning, a longing for light inhabits the soul, and an indispensable urge to get out of her primeval darkness.
The longing for light is the longing for consciousness.

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
~ William Butler Yeats ~
