I think deconstruction of what is 'true', when 'truth' is based on something that has been repeated enough times to be accepted, is the beef here.

People accept what 'is', without really looking at it more closely. Inquiry is the problem, there isn't enough on a low, normal lay basis. This allows 'truths' to be formed without restraint.

Circle schools and the like are good for children in this manner. Also Unitarian Universalist Religious Education enables children to inquire freely with minimal adult guidence.

Post Modern is a concept I'd like throw in here. Not in a generic, cliche way. Really it means looking harder at what we 'know'. Science without inquiry, is suseptable to becoming a faith based on us thinking we know all the variables to consider.

What if there is a level of consciousness in which we could conceive ideas that would melt the 'knowledge' we have now and make it look foolish in some aspects.

Einstien said "a problem can't be solved in the same consciousness with which it was conceived."

This resonates with me.

Step outside the womb of comfort and question more. Lead by example. People are looking for leadership, embrace that sheepness and show people how to live rightly by action. Start f-in with the status quo of what people think happiness is. Find a comfortable valunerable place and live there moment to moment, question everything, and make it true for yourself, or disgaurd it. Read more. Personal inquiry. See where the source is coming from.

Metta,
Sage
