Over the years, I’ve come to believe in a realm of truth that lies beyond theory and surface deduction, a place where answers are not just detailed in clinical logic, but where they are also intuited and deeply felt–where we live and breathe their core essence, and fully embody their organic spirit.
Sounds painful.

I believe in this place too. If I had to describe what it’s like, I’d compare it to the divine ladder that leads to what virtues are in and of themselves. At some point, the essential is experienced, not trapped by words.

A most popular recognition of God’s. journey to a quiet place nonetheless the inhabitants of praise.
Next comes the intoxication of spirits.
A place where subsonic voices scream in harmony of souls past and present.

Answers are the tail ends of questions. And questions are holes in our deduction, where experiences don’t quite ‘join up’. And we should ask, “Are our questions ‘rational’: a search for continuity of reason – or are they ‘intuitive’: a sense of missing essence?” We already possess reason enough, and an intuition for completeness of essence, if we but apply the correct tool. We are already ‘immersed in truth’, but we tend to trust our lives to ‘random truths’ instead: to stuff we just ‘heard’ or ‘read’. And then we end up either ‘doomscrolling’ for more, or trying to hide from our random world through work, religion or booze. And maybe all three.

Good points! Perhaps there is a reason for externalities leading to unresolvable rabbit holes–maybe it’s so we turn inward and possibly live and breathe the answer, instead of constantly trying to push it on ourselves or others

Agreed. Otherwise, why have a limbic-cortex system so vastly beyond what we need. I don’t want to give mine up thanks very much, but we really didn’t need it that complex for survival. We do need it for art and poetry, for pondering possible future, and wondering the why and beyond of quantum physics. Clinical logic just doesn’t cut it for those truths, and the possible truths beyond.

Some states of being defy our vocabularies. That’s why we created philosophy and philosophers.
