BRIEF
KEY TO CONTINUING USAGE
The
website has shaped up as a blow-by-blow "journal"
of efforts to activate my whole
mind (beyond domination by the verbal "left brain"). A flexible usage
of language is self-demonstrated throughout to impart non-verbal
intuition accordingly.

Everything
is keyed to the opening page. The short entries indicated at upper-left
and upper-right present a pragmatic
overview. Latest entries are
indicated down the middle featuring an overdue
observation
of the obvious . . .
The
WEBSITE CRITIQUE finally reveals a stark
simplicity in Plato's
unrealized scheme for developing a Republic: through natural
(self-interested) maturation of individual
citizens (sheep into goats). The neglected principle of
"Occam's Razor" is demonstrated. It calls for scientifically simplest
solutions to world problems (which are compounded childishly by
complicated, conflicting and consequently confused usages of language).

The
middle-indication to ENTER THE RECONSTRUCTION leads to detailed
tables-of-contents for foundational presentations. They are rendered
roughly (as a stream-of-consciousness, which could use
further editing) but are at least "spontaneous."
A rather belated "Preview" presentation appears under "Continuation of the Route-66 Series" (subtitled "One Fugitive's Flight from the Cave"). It refers back to 1973; when my mind started turning around (inside-out) shifting from an old verbal to a more visual mode of thought.
The "New Conclusion" describes a challenge, in those days, to build a bridge--from old to "reconstructed" philosophy--by reconstructing my own mind (as evidently a Platonic "initiation into the mysteries").
Professional training to proceed concisely came from writing short headnotes for long legal cases (early 70's). It enabled me to glean through Plato's arcane verbiage (and abstract from whatever he may have intended to impart) in order to present a self-evident theme about human enlightenment.
It entails "holistic" maturation of the mind. (Plato's ancient scenario of growth was confirmed recently by master scientist Carl Jung.) The upshot is that words so dominate consciousness that humans normally use only a fraction of our mental capacity.
I am struggling to activate the rest of it. The key will be to relax and remember Joseph Cambell's
advise
"Follow your bliss" . . .
