I can explain nothing to you. Some things must be discovered individually. A thirst for truth and a willingness to disregard personal bias or preconceived notions in the face of conflicting information is the only way to progress or truly learn, but that information is best discovered on one's own. For most people it is brought about through some intense personal experience. Something powerful enough to cause one to reexamine priorities and even long held beliefs. .

Few people are ever motivated to examine their well entrenched paradigms when they are comfortable within them and their echo chambers reinforce them. Some people learn new truths but then like touching a hot flame they retreat, a very few press on to accept and incorporate them. It is the road less traveled, a solitary journey. Maybe you will be one of them.

Great post. Truth is relatively unimportant to most people. Of those that profess to be lovers of truth often their beliefs are actually more important to them. It is palpable in their defensiveness of their beliefs and deafness to another perspective. If they jump off a belief ship it is right into another package belief system ship.

Jumping into the ocean of being, open to reality as it is perceive, what the Taoist call the don't-know-mind, is wisdom. Here even our own experiences and perceptions are not judged as ultimate reality. This is the place I want to live.

Hello SLDrone! Good to see you. Excellent message!

Ditto. A wise gem from SLDrone.
It's a pleasure to see him drop in once in a while.

Like Daniel Quinn's book 'Ishmael' with givers and takers.

Most of the time on earth most humans don't know whether they are coming or going, or where from or where to. Most people world be scared of their ego if they were to see it for what it is.

Nice title op
