THE
POINT (Meditation)
One
day, I caught a glimpse of a small black point ahead of me, very far
away… there, on the horizon. Staring at it I noticed that although
only a point, it was magnificent and a perfect hiding place for an unsolved,
unnoticed mystery. I could see the point smiling and I thought to myself
that if it smiled, it could not be mean or wild. Thus, I tried to get
better acquainted with it, to improve our relationship. We chatted…
I soon realized that the point knew me very well. It made fun of my
ignorance, of my scarce knowledge. And so we spent three long years.
The point refused to reveal itself; it gave me only hints that led me
nowhere. It made fun of me, of my great and unreal passion.
Worn out,
feeling distant and isolated from my daily routine, from the real facts
that vibrated around me, I was nearly giving up this mad obstinacy of
unveiling the secret closely guarded by the mysterious point. Then,
one day, when I was preparing myself to take a stroll after my meal,
the unexpected revelation of the secret kept by the mysterious point
CROSSED my mind: Two overlapping squares as shown below. Then, for one
year I dedicated myself to a great concentration work based on the unexpected
revelation. And this is how I got at A NEW AND WONDERFUL EXACT PERSPECTIVE
TREATISE introducing a new foundation and a new system that free the
three-dimensional space on the drawing. The mysterious point I referred
to above is simply the so-called distance point existing on the horizontal
line of spatial geometry (stereometry). It refers to the depth (one
of the dimensions relative to the three-dimensional space).
