~How do you approach the stories you’re told and the questions you are asked and the things you think about? What is the lens through which you view reality, literature, entertainment, philosophical questions?
What if you were not thinking for yourself as much as you thought, but rather how you were trained? What if that training was part of a fad? A movement?
This has been part of my research as I have been wondering about the sources of the Lenses through which I view and interpret reality. From whence?
From whence?
A quick trip down the rabbit-hole into the Matrix itself revealed a clue, as I wait for my morning coffee to brew.
I had hoped for a long standing tradition that stretched back for thousands of years, but alas, part of a modern fad that just so happened to be at its peak in the 1980s, at the time I was a teenager. Literary theory.
In fact, this very project I am embarking on of self-discovery is but Literary Theory (800 Dewey Decimal – I used my “DDC writings analysis” to confirm my suspicions) but applied to self.
The lens seeing itself, through a mirror, darkly.
