' The shell must be cracked '...

The shell must be cracked apart if what is in it
is to come out, for if you want the kernel you
must break the shell.

And therefore, if you want
to discover nature’s nakedness, you must destroy
its symbols, and the farther you get in the nearer
you come to its essence.

When you come to the
One that gathers all things up into itself, there
your soul must stay.



- Meister Eckhart
