New Age Interests: Only when we trust our intuition can we be creative and find a sense of meaning in this miserable world, but no way of life is more haunted by pitfalls into the abyss of hopelessness. When you've touched the specimen stones of universal insight, you experience a moment of gratification not comparable with any stimulus found in the material world. But as the devils watchdogs keeps pulling your leg, sooner or later youll loose balance and land harder than anyone who thinks moderation expresses some sort of life wisdom. Im incapable of moderation. The reason for this is that if every clear thought, every principle, every logical argumentation, is to be modified by common sense, then what we end up with is mental stagnation. And to me, mental stagnation equals death. Common sense is a mixture of sense and prejudice in an indistinguishable stew of unclear, often contradictory set of thoughts. It might teach you how to survive in this world, but I prefer to be on the brink of the precipice rather than to adapt to something so incompatible with honest reflection. To genuinely believe in and live by the philosophy that reflection is the main purpose of life, will inevitably create an insurmountable void between yourself an most other people. You simply cannot accept and keep the set of norms and moral standards partly imposed on you in childhood, so you decide to base your way of life on your own reasoning. Sometimes this makes it possible for you to see things clearly where others are blinded by their habit thinking, but the underlying danger of overestimating ones own judgement is a constant threat that may lead to unhappy results. This is, however, an acceptable price to pay to avoid the slow death of mental stagnation. I write poems and stories and would like an exchange of all sorts of creative work, but I am primarily looking for someone to discuss lifes most profound issues with. The quest of life must be to find, the key thats hidden in your mind. Unlock the door to sacred ground, where knowledge of yourself is found. That will be the only way, you as old can proudly say, Ive searched my soul and I can tell, I have spent my lifetime well. Be well, Karl
