Walking The Mystic Path.
(5)
Here is the situation:
1. You are born. Perhaps circumcised.
2. Your mother teaches you the basics. Your father assists.
3. Your culture amplifies those ideas.
4. But eventually some or other incident clashes with those 'certainties.'
5. You become 'philosophically disoriented.'
6. You seek your previous state of 'orientation' by gathering information.
7. But 'information' confirms that your 'certainties' were crap.
8. You adjust to a new world: You explore, hoping against hope.
9. Hope fails. You accept a new life of possibility. You learn new stuff. You do Acid.
10. You walk the Mystic Path.
