Psychiatry, psychological
therapy, counselling and management techniques
are part of the educated attempt to rationalize
the fragmented condition of civic life. When we
examine this educated preference we are at once
amazed by the congruity in our condition. Characters
in books and movies give us deeper and fuller
meaning in our lives. We turn to literature,
theories, ideologies, science and religion to expand
our life understanding. Our thoughts follow along
the same time and space continuum we believe is
the world of the real. Everything is seen as an
inevitable passage of the before, the here and the
after: One plus one equals two: The cow jumped
over the moon: Life and Death. Were we able to,
somehow, suspend life, and to look briefly at
some moment in time and space, what would we see?
It's not for anyone else to know what is on your
mind, although there might be a similarity in
what concerns us. In our thoughts about what we
don't understand we might consider similar
questions. In the end we take a consensus of
opinion for what is known and what is the questionable.
From the start, observe this very, very
closely and notice what comes into mind. This
is far more important than the elaboration of
questions.
