About one and a half year ago I wrote this in a blog:
\nQuote
\nPS. I am already for long been busy trying to come up with a reflective piece of text about almost 20 years of satsang.
\nThe working title is: Memories and musings of a counter dogmatician.
\nAt the moment the structure seems to be going to be something like an introduction first, followed by a maximum of 108 separate pieces that will all start with: I am.
\nUnquote<\/p>\n
The quote is from the blog Time is a bitch. (Report of two meditations) hansvandergugten.nl\/?p=4902<\/a><\/p>\n ‘Caused’ by some ad random and some specific reasons, this 108 pieces of text project did not launch even one inch above ground level.<\/p>\n There were some preparations done already long ago. Last time in India I read three books by the Belgian philosopher Marc de Keesel. The quote goes like this: ‘I am’ is aways a complaint.<\/strong><\/p>\n (It is a diary entry from the young Gershom Scholem, quoted on page 156 in Benjamin Lazier’s book God interrupted. Heresy and the European Imagination between the World Wars.)<\/p>\n Instead of the 108 texts\u00a0 starting all with I am that probably never will be written, I choose at this moment to create a use for the since long stored I am illustration.<\/p>\n Here it is:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n PS.

\nI had found a nice capital I that could be used as a kind of Medieval start of those texts.<\/p>\n
\n(Alas, in Dutch only).
\nIn one of those books I found a quote that has intrigued me since.
\nIt is quoted in the book Auschwitz mon amour. A very impressive book that partly was for me a fresh up course about Sigmund Freud’s thinking.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/hansvandergugten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/e1c5db4514b33c19cdd0ca0b19d4959f-typography-poster-typography-design-100x100.jpg\")
