Proposal 1

To be open-minded is to teeter between doubt (self-doubt) and trust (a trust in others);
it is to welcome an instability so deeply rooted that the stupidity
of self assurance (the state that brings you trust from others and self- stability) can never save you.

In order to walk the path towards deeper understanding, the present thinker must abandon all patterns of thinking, all habitual beliefs, and question existence to its most finite decimal. It must be understood that this is impossible to fully achieve without reaching a point of madness. As one nears this state it is as if floating through pitch-dark space, where even darkness itself does not exist. All association with other beings, which tend to the essence of our instinctual nature, is abolished and utter seclusion pervades.

Many miles must be walked through rubble,

others must be asked for help in the search in order to see how they see what is of value,

and decades of digging though soot will likely be required.

The pursuit may be unknown, a pattern of architecture may not exist, and the pieces may not even provide any piece towards a Truth. The instability of this search is overwhelming, but the chance of valuable discovery, of the creation of something more profound than what the building once provided, remains a possibility and thus one must continue the endless pursuit.
