An informative piece from Ptero9 that reminds me how much philosophizing requires going to the margins or as Jaspers would call it, the boundary situations, where we engage in the loving struggle with others who are also attempting self-actualization.

So, how do we accept being in the margins, enough to let go of our need to be “on top of it” and in control. What will happen in accepting the invitation to wrestle the angel?

When you find yourself already at the edges, in the margins, and you know that you’ve already come too far and there is no turning back, that is when you might finally see that you have become the vessel and that you are also the substance.
