artist discovered some partial truth. During his lifetime, the man resisted the
temptation to organize this partial truth. During his lifetime, the man resisted
the temptation to organize this partial truth, although this is a common
tendency in a man's search for security and certainty</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.teamkaratecenters.com/articles/liberation.htm">After his death,
his students took "his" hypothesis, "his" postulates,
"his" method and turned them into law. Impressive creeds were then
invented, sloemn reinforcing ceremonies prescribed, rigid philosophy and
patterns formulated, and son on, until finally an institution was erected. So,
what originated as one man's intuition of some sort of personal fluidity has
been transformed into solidified, fixed knowledge, complete with organized
classified responses presented in a logical order. In so doing, the
well-meaning, loyal followers have not only made this knowledge a holy shrine,
but also a tomb in which they have buried the founder's wisdom</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C1C01CEF-164D-48AF-9E55-68CB1ABF8237/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
