2022 (#75)

We attend with infinte care to an endlessly renewed network of communication … We consider relationships to be the fundamental, energizing strategy of our educational system … We seek to support social exchanges that better ensure the flow of expectations, activities, cooperation, conflicts, and choices, and we favor the discussion of problems that integrate the cognitive, affective, and expressive domains.

• Malaguzzi

¹³ Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them.

• Mathew

the action of the yang element followed delightfully by all the yin elements 

• I Ching

The girl was very beautiful and became a companion for the king. 

• 1 King

Protector, Seer, controller of all, fountain of life, upholder, do not waste light; gather light; let me see that blessed body—’-Lord of all. I myself am He.

• Issa Upanishad

“There is only One who is good.

• Mathew

it is still necessary to call for vigilance and greater justice … the matrix of all future statements … as well as the history that is founded upon this logic and its alternatives … already belongs to the future of another, its place, the taking-place of its event, calls for another logic

• Derrida

 ‘I will not put you to death by the sword.’ 

• 1 King

If I am cautious about the word ‘freedom,’ it is not because I subscribe to some mechanistic determinism. But this word often seems to me to be loaded with metaphysical presuppositions that confer on the subject or on consciousness—that is, on an egological subject—a sovereign independence in relation to drives, calculation, economy, the machine. If freedom is an excess of play in the machine … then I would militate for a recognition of and a respect for this freedom, but I prefer to avoid speaking of the subject’s freedom or the freedom of man.

• Derrida

“with God all things are possible.”

• Mathew

The state we call realization is simply being oneself, not knowing anything or becoming anything. If one has realized, one is that which alone is and which alone has always been. One cannot describe that state. One can only be that. Of course, we loosely talk of Self-realization, for want of a better term. How to ‘realize’ or make real that which alone is real?

• Sri Ramana Maharshi

“Ask for whatever you want me to give you.”

• 1 King

The world itself is contact — the totality of all contacts actualized in consciousness. The spirit touches matter and consciousness results. Such consciousness. when tainted with memory and expectation, becomes bondage. Pure experience does not bind.

• Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

“Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne…”

• Mathew

Harmony and Delight

establishing a magnanimous new dynasty

• I Ching

² I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be. 

• 1 King

To become what one is, one must not have the slightest notion of what one is . . . The whole surface of consciousness—consciousness is a surface—must be kept clear of all great imperatives .. .Meanwhile the organizing ‘idea’ that is destined to rule keeps growing deep down—it begins to command; slowly it leads us back from side roads and wrong roads; it prepares single qualities and fitnesses that will one day prove to be indispensable as a means towards the whole—one by one, it trains all subservient capacities before giving any hint of the dominant task, ‘goal’ ‘aim’, or ‘meaning’.

• Nietzsche

“Many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.”

• Mathew

 they ate, they drank and they were happy.

• King

‘Eye, tongue, cannot approach it nor mind know; not knowing, we cannot satisfy enquiry. It lies beyond the known, beyond the unknown.

• Kena Upanishad

 ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’

• Mathew

everyone under their own vine and under their own fig tree.

• 1 King
• “These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.”

• Mathew

There is no sense of purpose in my doing anything. Things happens as they happen — not because I make them happen, but it is because I am that they happen. In reality nothing ever happens. 

• Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

²⁹ God gave Solomon wisdom and very great insight, and a breadth of understanding as measureless as the sand on the seashore.

• King

Certainly the decision makes the event, but it also neutralizes this happening that must surprise both the freedom and the will of every subject — surprise, in a word, the very subjectivity of the subject, affecting it wherever the subject is exposed, sensitive, receptive, vulnerable and undamentally passive, before and beyond any decision — indeed, before any subjectivation or objectivation.

• Derrida

“the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

• Mathew

³⁰ Solomon’s wisdom was greater than the wisdom of all the people of the East, and greater than all the wisdom of Egypt.

• King

Depths and surface should mix so that new life can develop.

• Jung

“What do you want me to do for you?” 

• Mathew

But one can already see several possibilities opening up: the “who” might be there before and as the power to  ask questions or else it might be, and this comes down to the same thing, that which is made possible by the power (by being able to) ask questions about itself (who is who? who is it?).

• Derrida

his fame spread to all the surrounding nations. 

• King

There is no ‘who’. There is desire, fear, anger, and the mind says — this is me, this is mine. There is no thing which could be called ‘me’ or ‘mine’. Desire is a state of the mind, perceived and named by the mind.

• Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

“we want our sight.”

• Mathew

He spoke about plant life,

• 1 King

³⁴ Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.

• Mathew

 it is always possible for a text to become new, since the white spaces open up its structure to an indefinitely disseminated transformation.

• Derrida

He also spoke about animals and birds, reptiles and fish. 

• 1 Kings

Everything God gives me will come to me, and I’ll never turn away the one who comes to me.

• John 6:37

Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.

• Mathew 6:9-10

2022 (#74)

Among the goals of our approach is to strengthen each child’s sense of identity through recognition by peers and adults. Ensuring that every child feels a sense of security and belonging within the school enables each child to accept and participate actively in tranforming situations that are part of learning experiences. In this way we widen the networks of communication, familiarizing children with different ways of communicating and supporting the actions and exchanges of individuals and the group. As a result the children discover that the value in communication is in enhancing the autonomy of individuals and the group. the group becomes self-sustaining, developing its own conversation, its own ways of communicating, acting and thinking.

• Malaguzzi

The Spirit of Adonai spoke through me,
his word was on my tongue.

• 2 Samuel

“The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men. ²³ They will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised to life.”

• Mathew

What happens between two, and between all the “two’s” one likes, such as between life and death, can only maintain itself with some ghost, can only talk with or about some ghost s’ entretenir de quelque fantome. So it would be necessary to learn spirits.

• Derrida

They sounded the shofar, and all the people shouted, “Long live King Solomon!” ⁴⁰ All the people escorted him back, playing flutes and rejoicing greatly, so that the earth shook with the sound.

2 Samuel

so that we may not cause offense, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours.”

• Mathew

One who neither hates nor desires the fruits of his activities is known to be always wise. Such a person, liberated from all dualities, easily overcomes material bondage and is completely liberated.

• Bhagavad Gita

“Come in! You’re a worthy man, so you must be bringing good news!”

• 2 Samuel

 “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”

• Mathew

Most of your experiences are unconscious. The conscious ones are very few. You are unaware of the fact because to you only the conscious ones count. Become aware of the unconscious .

• Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

they had him ride on the king’s mule;

• 2 Samuel

whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. ⁵ And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.

• Mathew

The “inner world” is full of phantoms … : the will is one ofthem. The will no longer moves anything, hence does notexplain anything either — it merely accompanies events;it can also be absent. The so-called motive: another error.Merely a surface phenomenon of consciousness some –thing alongside the deed that is more likely to cover upthe antecedents of the deeds than to represent them. …What follows from this? There are no mental [geistigen]causes at all.

• Nietzsche

 ‘May God make the name of Solomon better than your name and his throne greater than your throne,’ after which the king bowed down on the bed.

• 2 Samuel

“See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.”

• Mathew

Tension is relieved. A new cycle begins.

follow the way of yin like the earth

rest and recuperate like the Earth

• I Ching

I am going the way of all the earth.

• 2 Samuel

 your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.

• Mathew

nourishing myriad beings

Heaven and Earth obtain relief

Thunderstorm and rain come together

• I Ching

act according to your wisdom

• 2 Samuel

“Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be^[e] bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be^[f] loosed in heaven.

• Mathew

we distinguish the announcements of the soul, its manifestations of its own nature, by the term REVELATION. these are always attended by the emotion of the sublime, for this communication is an influx of the Divine mind into our mind. it is an ebb of the individual rivulet before the flowing surges of the sea of life, every distinct apprehension of this central commandment agitates men with awe and delight.

• Emerson

The king rose to meet her and bowed down to her.

• 1 Kings

¹⁹ “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. ²⁰ For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

• Mathew

nourishing myriad beings

Heaven and Earth obtain relief

Thunderstorm and rain come together

The buds of plants and fruit trees begin to burst.

Great indeed is the time of relieving

• I Ching

Solomon formed an alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt by marrying Pharaoh’s daughter. 

• 1 Kings

 Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.

• Mathew

The truth is that every man himself is a piece of fate; when he thinks he is stirring against fate in the way described, fate is being realized here, too; the struggle is imaginary, but so is resignation to fate — all these imaginary ideas are included in fate… In you the whole future of the human world is predetermined.

• Nietzsche

 I am doing what you requested. I am giving you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has never been anyone like you, nor will there ever again be anyone like you. 

• 1 Kings

what God has joined together, let no one separate.

• Mathew

Above all, one must hear aright the tone that comes from this mouth, the halcyon tone … from an infinite abundance of light and depth of happiness falls drop upon drop, word upon word: the tempo of these speeches is a tender adagio.

• Nietzsche

The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.

• John 3:8

You make winds your messengers,
fiery flames your servants.

• Tehillim 104:4

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.

• Mathew 22:36-40

Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.

• Mark 3:35

Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.

2022 (#73)

Our image of children no longer considers them as isolated and egocentric, does not see them as engaged in action with objects, does not emphasize only the cognitive aspects, does not belittle feelings or what is not logical, and does not consider with ambiguity the role of the affective domain. Instead our image of the child is rich in potential, strong, powerful, competent, and, most of all, connected to adults and other children.

• Malaguzzi

Something continues in the sub-conscious,
because what has been formed by the child can never
be totally destroyed. This Mneme, which may be con-
sidered as a superior natural memory, not only creates
characteristics, but holds them alive in the individual.
The individual changes, it is true, but those things which
are formed by the child remain in the personality just
as the legs remain, so that each man has this special
character.

• Montessori

He took the crown off Malkam’s head; it weighed sixty-six pounds, with its gold and precious stones.

• 2 Samuel

“Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.”

• Mathew

Thunder comes out of the Earth

Rising and stirring:

An image of Delight.

• I Ching

He would cut his hair only once a year, at the end of the year; and the only reason he cut it then was because it weighed him down.

• 2 Samuel
• As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Don’t tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”

• Mathew

God is the great harmoniser, the guarantee of the ultimate and perfect balance — of life in freedom. He dissolves you and thus reasserts your true being.

• Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

He would get up early and stand by the road leading to the city gate;

• 2 Samuel

“To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things.”

• Mathew

All our heart’s courage is the echoing response to the first call of Being which gathers our thinking into the play of the world.

• Heidegger

“The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on; the bread and summer fruit are for the young men to eat; and the wine is for those who collapse in the desert to drink.”

• 2 Samuel

Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him

• Mathew

the differences that are useless to man are obliterated, the resemblances that are useful to him are emphasized; ways are traced out for me in advance, along which my activity is to travel. These ways are the ways which all mankind has trod before me. Things have been classified with a view to the use I can derive from them. 

• Bergson

 they set up a tent for Avshalom (Absalom) on the roof of the palace.

• 2 Samuel

he was talking to them about John the Baptist

• Mathew

Ashes or cinders are obviously traces – in general, the first figure of the trace one thinks of is that of the step, along a path, the step that lives a footprint, a trace, or a vestige.

• Derrida

His wife spread a covering over the cistern’s opening and scattered drying grain on it, so that nothing showed. 

• 2 Samuel

 “Lord, have mercy on my son,”

• Mathew

To explain it in a consistent manner, one would have to undertake a meditation on Being, on “is,” on what “is” means, what “rest” means in the texts in which I distinguish “to remain” from “to be.” 

• Derrida

beds, basins, clay pots, wheat, barley, flour, roasted grain, beans, lentils, roasted millet, ²⁹ honey, curdled milk, sheep and cheese made of cow’s milk

• 2 Samuel

often falls into the fire or into the water.

• Mathew

The key is humility and sincerity; these two qualities bring harmony. This is the true meaning of Delight.

• I Ching

A watchman went up to the roof of the gate and out onto the wall, raised his eyes, looked, and saw there a man running by himself.

• 2 Samuel

 Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move.

• Mathew

the superior person settles himself first; then he is able to meditate. After he is able to meditate, then he is able to achieve.

• I Ching

“He’s a good man, he comes with good news.”

• 2 Samuel

Nothing will be impossible for you.

• Mathew

Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.

• Mathew 6:9-10

• I Ching

From the roof he saw a woman bathing, who was very beautiful.

• 2 Samuel

There he was transfigured before them.

• Mathew

 To say that deconstruction is negative is simply to reinscribe it in an intrametaphysical process. The point is not to remove oneself from this process but to give it the possibility of being thought. 

• Derrida

“Go down to your house and wash your feet.”

• 2 Samuel

His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light.

• Mathew

To know the flower is to
become the flower, to be the flower, to bloom as the flower,
and to enjoy the sunlight as well as the rainfall. When this is
done, the flower speaks to me and I know all its secrets, all its
joys, all its sufferings; that is, all its life vibrating within itself.

• D.T. Suzuki

Haven’t you just arrived from a journey? 

• 2 Samuel

Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.

• Mathew

Where our coming and our having come converge and become one, there we are born, we are created from the beginning and we receive again the form of the first Image.

• Meister Eckhart

Should I go into my house to eat and drink and go to bed with my wife?

• 2 Samuel

“If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”

everything plays itself out despite or against the distinction between perception and dream. beyond these oppositions or between these terms, but not in total confusion … in the movement of its constellation

18 Adonai, God, said, “It isn’t good that the person should be alone. I will make for him a companion suitable for helping him.”

2022 (#71)

If gaps and dificulties arise in implementing our design and when participation is of uneven intensity, the system can continue to function. The supportive atmosphere of the school in principle is open and democratic, inviting exchange of ideas and suppressing distance between people; thus, in all circumstances, the school maintains its effectiveness and a welcoming feelng to all concerned.

• Malaguzzi

The unconscious is the source of raw materials and the basis upon which the ego erects the edifice of our personality. In this simile our fantasies are the natural resources which provide and shape this raw material, making it useful for the ego’s personality-building tasks. If we are deprived of this natural resource, our life remains limited; without fantasies to give us hope, we do not have the strength to meet the adversities of life. Childhood is the time when these fantasies need to be nurtured.

• Bettelheim

I have come to the conclusion that all fairy tales endeavour to describe one and the same psychic fact, but a fact so complex and far-reaching and so difficult for us to realize in all its different aspects that hundreds of tales and thousands of repetitions with a musician’s variation are needed until this unknown fact is delivered into consciousness; and even then the theme is not exhausted. This unknown fact is what Jung calls the Self, which is the psychic reality of the collective unconscious. […] Every archetype is in its essence only one aspect of the collective unconscious as well as always representing also the whole collective unconscious

• Marie-Louise von Franz

It is good to remember always that playing is itself a therapy.
To arrange for children to be able to play is itself a psychotherapy
that has immediate and universal application, and it includes the
establishment of a positive social attitude towards playing. 

• Winnicott

He was thirty years old when he began his rule, and he ruled forty years.

• 2 Samuel

the gates of Hades^[c] will not overcome it. 

• Mathew

…what I see and hear of the outer world is purely and simply a selection made by my senses to serve as a light to my conduct….My senses and my consciousness, therefore, give me no more than a practical simplification of reality.

• Bergson

What he said on that day

• 2 Samuel

 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven

• Mathew

“indicates what is approaching ; proceed, move on”

• I Ching

you have to climb up [from the spring outside the city] through the water tunnel. 

• 2 Samuel

whatever you bind on earth will be^[d] bound in heaven,

• Mathew

As rivers flowing into the ocean find their final peace and their name and form disappear even so the wise become free from name and form and enter into the radiance of the Supreme Spirit who is greater than all greatness. In truth who knows God becomes God.

• Mundaka Upanishad

When He consulted Adonai

• 2 Samuel

whatever you loose on earth will be^[e] loosed in heaven.

• Mathew

A spirit thus emancipated stands in the midst of the universe with a joyful and trusting fatalism, in the faith that only what is separate and individual may be rejected, that in the totality everything is redeemed and affirmed …

• Nietzsche

“Go, do everything that is in your heart, for Adonai is with you.”

• 2 Samuel

he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.

• Mathew

It is a matter
of life in the sense that life is not separable from an experience of
death. So, yes, that is the first type of contradiction: the life of language is also the life of specters; it is also the work of mourning; it is
also impossible mourning. It is not only a matter of the specters of
Auschwitz or of all the dead one may lament, but of a spectrality
proper to the body of language. Language, the word—in a way, the
life of the word—is in essence spectral.

• Derrida

I took you from the sheep-yards, from following the sheep

• 2 Samuel

he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life

• Mathew

Surely, you must sleep in order to wake up. You must die in order to live, you must melt down to shape anew. You must destroy to build, annihilate before creation. The Supreme is the universal solvent, it corrodes every container, it burns through every obstacle.

• Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

 I have been with you wherever you went

• 2 Samuel

whoever wants to save their life^[f] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it

• Mathew

There is a sort of spectral virtualization in the being of the word, in the very being of grammar. And it is therefore within language already, right on the tongue, that the experience of life-death makes itself felt.

• Derrida

7 “But ask the animals — they will teach you —
and the birds in the air — they will tell you;
8 or speak to the earth — it will teach you —
and the fish in the sea will inform you:
9 every one of them knows
that the hand of Adonai has done this!

• Job 12:7-9

A person can receive only what is given them from heaven

• John 3:27

Adonai, lift the light of your face over us!
^8 (7) You have filled my heart with more joy
than all their grain and new wine.

• Tehillim 4:7-8

How blessed are the pure in heart!
for they will see God.

• Mathew 5:8

If you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you are one with me, and I am one with you.

 He that eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells in me and I in him.

• John 6:56

your kingdom come,
your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.

• Mathew 6:9-10

2022 (#70)

active exploration and creative production by educators and children proceed without complete certainty but with a shared representation of the point of desitnation, the ultimate goal. … What always surprises us is how strategies will be modified along the way — how new methodologies and ways of proceeding will be mirrored in the corresponding activities, strategies and methodologies used by the children.

• Malaguzzi

By
taking children of three years and younger and by
creating around them an atmosphere of enthusiasm, of
dignity, of activity, in one generation the character of the
whole people was changed.

• Montessori

Meaning making involves situating encounters with the world
in their appropriate cultural contexts in order to know “what they are
about.” Although meanings are “in the mind,” they have their origins
and their significance in the culture in which they are created. It is
this cultural situatedness of meanings that assures their negotiability
and, ultimately, their communicability.

The people were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled made well, the lame walking and the blind seeing.

coming? And becoming heart? What coming, what singular event is
at issue? What impossible repetition?

• 1 Samuel

“I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way.”

• Mathew

The wind sows the seed;
the sun evaporates the sea; the wind blows the vapor to the field;
the ice, on the other side of the planet, condenses rain on this;
the rain feeds the plant; the plant feeds the animal; and thus the
endless circulations of the divine charity nourish man.

• Emerson

 let me put a little food in front of you; then eat, so you will have some strength when you go on your way.

• 1 Samuel

In whatever way men approach Me, even so do I reward them; My path do men tread in all ways

• Bhagavad Gita

He got up off the ground and sat on the bed. 

• 1 Samuel

He told the crowd to sit down on the ground.

• Mathew

by a kind of spacing that punctuates it … if thought belongs from the beginning to no one … blended into the continuum of something always – already – there … the origin is suspended by this multiple punctuation … moving again …

• Derrida

I know that you are as good, from my point of view, as an angel of God.

• 1 Samuel

They all ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

• Mathew

The ancient Greeks called the world KOOl-l0;’, beauty_ Such is
the constitution of all things, or such the plastic power of the
human eye, that the primary forms, as the sky, the mountain,
the tree, the animal, give us a delight in and for themselves; a
pleasure arising from outline, color, motion, and grouping.

• Emerson

David got up early in the morning

• 1 Samuel

he got into the boat and went to the vicinity of Magadan.

• Mathew

without managing to close itself on its possibility, unsealing abandoning the circle open, wandering on the periphery, taking the pulse of an encircling phrase, the pulsion of the paragraph which never circumpletes itself, as long as the blood, what I call thus and thus call, continues its venue in its vein.

• Derrida

Then David consulted Adonai. 

• 1 Samuel

What you are fundamentally is a natural giving up. The mind becomes clear, there is a giving up, a stillness, fulfilled with a current of love. As long as there is a meditator, there’s no meditation. When the meditator disappears, there is meditation.
