Wandering upon the affective terrain

[rva_jeremy]

A different posture one could emphasize is that each effort to know the self more deeply brings one a single step closer to that experience which is wholly transformational, namely, the experience of the radiant magnificence of what you truly are.  Maybe it's splitting hairs, but I find the latter a far happier standard to follow through the field of folly.  The discomfiture, the vulnerability, the tuning, these are just exercises to get you hungry for the main dish...which is you, amigo, in all your finery and flummery.

That's really what I'm trying to, y'know, celebrate in my piece: the hunger. I don't want to make the transformation the criterion for judging this process because it's not really under my control. I want to put one foot in front of the other and build faith. But it's important to remember that I need to keep an eye out for the fine print and not just the flashing neon signs. Thanks for making sure I appreciate the subtlety of this, peregrine
