“The dot is also the source of basic goodness, its fuse or starting point. Out of that primordial experience, we begin to realize basic goodness. To begin with, whenever there is a dot, it is unconditional. You can’t say whether it is bad or good, but it is so”.
“That basic human quality of suddenly opening up is the best part of human instinct. You know what to do right away, on the spot – which is fantastic. That is what we call the dot, or basic goodness and unconditional instinct. When you have an instinct of the real instinct, you don’t think: you just feel, on the spot”
