First steps into creating new ground…
What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to grow into being human? Isn’t our human-ness all there to begin with? In a word, no.
Being on a journey of exploration regarding what it means to be human is part of what it means to be human! to be always searching for ways to live that are more true to who and what a human actually is and can be. The human form and faculties are truly amazing, the potential of which is beyond full comprehension. The question for me as an individual human is, what do I apply this form and these faculties to? Further questions follow, e.g., what are my pursuits in life, and are they intentional, i.e., consciously chosen? are my intentions kind, generous, decent…? do I realize and accept the fact that there is a natural learning curve as I live? and do I stop to consider – a curve towards what? To open up such matters, it is essential to look more closely at psychology, asking what is it and how does it work? And further to ask, are my psychologies automatic or chosen, do I know, and what difference does it make?
More to come…! And comments are welcomed.
