vexing puzzle

To live in exile, away spiritually from all that existed before you, is the consequence of modern society. The displacement of the Self to a realm of seclusion away from all that existed and all that exists, becomes a lonesome desert. How to recreate something from the idealistic world, which in the present is one of false realism becomes the preoccupation of the Self in a self critical mode. The choices we make to construct a better reality to find something worthwhile is nothing more than "the will" to recreate a better Self.


How to go about this change from devastation to a new identity is one of curious concern that is mirrored in present society. The narrative to which we are accustomed to seizes to hold true, while vestiges of the past help to construct a new Self. A new Self that can survive and to flourish in virtue, righteousness and in honor, for the sake of keeping with the world that has been forgotten. Displacing the current narrative is then to find the forgotten of what existed spiritually in the past. This is how modernity in present time has created a reality of lonesome isolation.


Societies are blindly living in the mud of survival forgetting to feel the urgency of our time. The Self sees a world transcendent in the distant future of a contentment beyond explanation. Where the logic of survival will apply as does now, but with simpler mechanism - an instinctual existence of peaceful contemplation. But how to get there in our current situation is one that remains a vexing puzzle.
