[604]

whole lecture[s] summed up in a few words. We have discussed, in all realms the conflict between heteronomy^a and autonomy,^b the danger of a disintegrating autonomy, and of a tyrannical heteronomy. We must open ourselves for the coming of a new theonomy^c by realizing that we cannot escape it anyhow, that the depth-dimension is in us, and either we are aware of it and express it, or it will destroy us against our will! And I think this insight makes even the period of emptiness, and of anxiety^d, or Wasteland, or No Exit, a period of highest possibilities, of openness to that which ultimately counts:

our ultimate concern^e!
