Paolo Soleri's Glossary of Terms |
Self-Sufficiency (Utopia)
An abused label hiding a "fundamental"
deception. By now we know that the whole of reality is the only instance of self-sufficiency , but only
if one accepts the fact that it is a dynamic , a process of
self-sufficiency, almost as if chasing after a constantly
receding fullness, the fullness of a true self-sufficiency.
If a maker intruded in the scenario
then poor reality would for ever be not a sufficient agent
for its own becoming , let alone
its being. Would this maker, God, be
a self-sufficient agent? Not if it is caught (trapped) in
the becoming of which is supposedly the generator. |
