An essential thought, which was touched on during this conversation, has not yet been further considered. It concerns the question of in what way nature, in allowing the objectification of its domain, defends itself against technology by bringing about the annihilation of the human-essence. This annihilation in no way means the elimination of the human, but rather the completion of his will-essence.

Messkirch, 7 April 1945

On Letting Go of Things

“Where I will nothing for myself, there wills instead my God.”

Eckhart, Talks of Instruction (n. 1)61

“For whoever has let go of his own will and of himself, has let go of the whole world as truly as if it were his free property, as if he possessed it with full power of authority. Everything that you expressly do not desire—that you have forsaken and let go of for the sake of God. ‘Blessed are the poor in spirit,’ our Lord has said; and this means: those who are poor in will.” (n. 3, p. 79)

“As far as you yourself go out of all things, just this far—not one step less or more—does God go in with all that is His.” (n. 4, p. 80)
