Greetings dear Andrew,
Yes, I liked it, thank you.
In your next quote I have retained:

It is for me as if Goethe came very close to the concept of a "creative
collapse". Hegel made some comments on it and much later Heidegger began
to develop it into the concept of deconstruction.
We cannot become everything by merely taking from the outside to the
inside. We have to give up past things on the inside so as to become on
the inside what can never become from the outside.
This answers the question
>...what can break through that primal mistiness?
With care and best wishes
