It is of course more of a matter of speech than the actuall reality, but 
still, "throwing away all I knew" corresponds to a process I have been going 
through in which I began to doubt my perception of myself and the "reality" 
around me that I now know I had constructed. My experience is that the 
constructed reality is always limited to the given time and space and that 
that's just not satisfactory to the seeking mind. Yes, the memory is always 
there but even that is determined mainly by factors outside one's own 
perceptual control. "Throwing it all away and starting a new" is conciously 
re-evaluating things without taking anything for granted: always questioning 
and letting things justify themselves to you. Since memories are bound to be 
limíted (here, I am thinking of a higher reality), there is always space for 
doubting the memories and one's personal subjective perception of the past. 
Looking back anew, from where one is right now, even memories can be found 
to have new significance which may change the whole picture, and put things 
in a different context. There is no denial from my part of my own 
individuality but I think it's a matter of always pushing the boundries of 
personal subjectivity, while appriciating it through one's art. Art becomes 
than a valuation of the trancient, the temporary.
