In the highest consciousness there is still unconsciousness, in the
lowest unconsciousness there is still consciousness. If there is no
consciousness there is no thing, or nothing. To understand perfectly
would be to cease to understand at all.

irritated, this involves absolute equilibrium and absolute equilibrium
involves absolute unconsciousness. Christ is equilibrium—the not wanting
anything, either more or less. Death also is equilibrium. But Christ is
a more living kind of death than death is.
