So I says to myself, I says...

I will open this with two quotes:

Instinct leads, intelligence does but follow.

If a flood goes above one’s head, its absolute elevation becomes a matter of small importance; and when we touch our own upper limit and live in our highest centre of energy, we may call ourselves saved, no matter how much higher some one else’s center may be.

-William James: The Varieties of Religious Experience

The first of these quotes can catapult us into the metaphysics realm, while the second one can call us back a little and help pace ourselves without a loss of momentum.

At this point however I am questioning the catapult method. I think that if one is open-minded, being told the truth can be enough. Having someone sit down and tell you a theory that unites every thing in this universe in one sitting can be enough to have you start working on it yourself. On the other hand, approaching with skepticism, you can never me made to see an inter-connectedness theory in one explanation. No amount of obvious or intuitive measures will allow you to change the exemplar of your world, merely because some one said “Hey, this is how it really is, pay attention.” Thus we move into a slow stream of examples that should, if I am even remotely capable, give you a new outlook on some things, maybe even all things.

Taking on this task means that I will have to think a bit about what I am going to say, so please bear with the potential delay in posts or worse the multiple daily posts. For now, I will let my opening points simmer for a bit, drink some coffee, and listen to Dvorak.
