Hiatus

The purpose of my questions has always been to find an operational stance with which to approach the world, a method of translating thought and feeling into action. Traditionally, I've always had the impression that until I knew how to think about the world, I couldn't know how to feel about the world, much less how to act within the world.

It occurs to me that until I find a decisive approach I'll continue to sit here, thinking, without finding any sort of peace or taking any sort of action.

Finding a philosophy of action that is cohesive with not only the external "facts" but primarily with my internal realities is difficult, to say the least. For one, the internal reality is mutable, so any operational stance begins within and is projected onto the external world. The question, then, becomes one of "how can I think about this in an effective way?" I want to know how to approach myself and see who I am really am (or, more importantly, who I can become) so that I can answer the larger (or maybe the smaller) questions.

I can think a great many thoughts, all of them proceeding from what appears to be a truth or a reality, but when I'm confronted by two or more contradicting, seemingly logical conclusions, it's difficult to see where the fault lies: in the origin, the method, or the deductions. I have as yet no way of deciding or rectifying these ideas.

So, I've decided to start over. Tear the house down, as they say, and begin again. As such, I won't be posting for a while, but I'll be back soon, and hopefully I'll have learned something new and have something to say.

Adios.
