Philosophy used to be called vague-o-gnostic - or something similar, lost now in the translation … however, you get the point - by nature the Philosopher was aloof and uncommitted - lacking in piety and brimful with obscurity.
The Philosopher could reach up like a toddler to the ecstasies of truth and with said innocence and delight, but not quite grasp, or be high enough to complete the task.
There are many who by thoughts alone are as ‘inbetweens’ currently, whereupon neither truth nor Holy doctrine is sought after, or even hoped for in possibility, by them.
If you think for a minute: the general populace are giving no credence to either material, reasonable, provable, empirical truth, or are they invested in a spiritual qualifying of their life either.
It becomes beyond confusion when there is no benchmark to trying, and furthermore no impetus to be had either. This inertia just described is mainly regarding self-improvement, or lack thereof.
It is when self awareness can no longer breach its bounds and venture out into further learning.
For this individual the remedy is a simple one: i.e. to begin learning again.
With this a vigour will return having something new to be qualified - be it a recipe or a treatise - for this will awaken the soul who slumbers, and works remotely - if at all - being presently encased in a material stupor.
Yes! Be it esoteric or exoteric - reach beyond yourself and feel the spirit return.
Life itself rejoices in being loved wholeheartedly, with the enthusiasm of a novice, and the rapture of a saint.
