With each form, a question

I hope at this point reading my blog you can follow my reflections a little more closely, and that you may also reflect while reading, which I'm sure is explicitly done in most of my readers' minds.

I bring this up because I don't want to give you a story which you have no use for.  My intention is rather to offer you a telling of yet another pattern that reflects the rest of the Universe and is but one pattern which the Universe chose to form in the instances of my telling.  It is with this knowledge which I invite you to reflect on, to allow to sit in your mind and meditate upon, or to simply enjoy on face value, but preferably to get you to something which is readily transferable to how you reflect and act.

Also, know the a difference as Locke says in An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, between those who blindly accept truths and those who actually investigate truths when they are given to them.. Now they may seem evident to you, like your belief in God - for example, Jesus as the begotten Son of God.  But why do we believe these things which others have been told, who tell us, but have not actually seen that which they are talking about? Now I will not be here to sway your beliefs with evidence of erased history which is quite interestingly left out from what you are told in Sunday School, but just understand that 1) What any principle describes for you is by no means a description of every instance, that is, you cannot prove it, but you can reject it, 2) By totally accepting any principle you leave out desire to learn principles which surround it and may be in more cases applicable or probable to be true, that is, you accept ignorance to some degree and finally 3) What even is your understanding of a term which you have not experienced to be able to describe but have second-handedly heard described? that is, if someone told you what "x" is, but their explanation was dependent on their experience of it, then their explanation of it may not be what you would experience of it, and it can be accepted even when you did not have the experience, but you won't truly understand "x" until you actually experience "x".

"Truth has been my only aim; and wherever that has appeared to lead, my thoughts have impartially followed, without minding whether the footsteps of any other lay that way or not." - Book 1, Chapter 3 of the Essay.

Be critical, it's good for you and others.  Don't be "minding".  It's for the truth.
