Contradiction of natural causes
Cornelia Parker, Neither from nor towards
Lenny opens a museum, but what will he exibit? YOU! Opening: Soon
Not alone must our intelligence be elegant, but our desires, and above all our conversation. Know Yourself in talents and capacity, in judgment and inclination. You cannot master yourself unless you know yourself. There are mirrors for the face but none for the mind. Let careful thought about yourself serve as a substitute. When the outer image is forgotten, keep the inner one to improve and perfect.[1] If I am not mistaken, I think you have a very profound insight into the nature and powers of the human mind, and its union with the body.[2] But building yourself a body in a safe space required great care.
_“The only true progress that we can make,” [Lenny] says, “lies in the acknowledgment of reality. But we learn that our knowledge was not knowledge of reality but of something unreal. ”He calls “natural science” the basis of philosophy. “[8] Therefore an immaterial substance can make a substance like to itself. [9] For nowhere in created Nature do we find knowledge other than in our own intellect.[2] The use of the newfound knowledge comes after the discovery.
Obviously, a crisis was approaching.[10] the more you learn about yourself, the more doubt there will be. I am speaking of genuine doubt in the mind, not the sort of doubt that we frequently encounter when somebody verbally asserts that he doubts, although he mentally does not doubt.[2] Since whatever change is observed, the mind must collect a power somewhere able to make that change, as well as a possibility in the thing itself to receive it.[11]
But if my mind was thus to collect itself, to gather momentum, I should have to be alone.[12]
I have been alone ever since; and, though my mind is calm, I cannot dismiss the lively images that have filled my imagination all the day.[13] In a word, it creates a world after its own image.[8] You should no longer be concerned with what the world says of you but with what you say to yourself.[14]

concept 5. witts world.
conceal (v.)
early 14c., concelen, "to keep close or secret, forbear to divulge," from Old French conceler "to hide, conceal, dissimulate," from Latin concelare "to hide," from con-, here probably an intensive prefix (see con-), + celare "to hide," from PIE root *kel- (1) "to cover, conceal, save." From early 15c. as "to hide or shield from observation." Replaced Old English deagan.

proportion (n.)
late 14c., proporcioun, "due relation of one part to another," also "size, extent; comparative relation of one thing to another in size, degree, number, etc.," from Old French proporcion "measure, proportion" (13c.) and directly from Latin proportionem (nominative proportio) "comparative relation, analogy," from phrase pro portione "according to the relation" (of parts to each other), from pro "for" (see pro-) + ablative of *partio "division," related to pars "a part, piece, a share, a division" (from PIE root *pere- (2) "to grant, allot"). Also from late 14c. as "relation of body parts," hence "form, shape."

Definition of meticulous

meticulous (adj.)
1530s, "fearful, timid," a sense now obsolete, from Latin meticulosus, metuculosus "fearful, timid," literally "full of fear," from metus "fear, dread, apprehension, anxiety," a word of unknown origin. The old word seems to have become archaic after c. 1700, fossilized in a passage of Sir Thomas Browne, though it turns up occasionally and obscurely as late as 1807.
Limit

concept 2. witts world.
