The Philosophy of "Lost" getting "Found"

“Triangulation” is one process that allows a sense of position to be restored. The intersection of vectors drawn from two known points becomes a point, itself, which can be calculated based on the other two. I trust you find this absolutely fascinating.

Imagine if we can "triangulate" our position spiritually. Imagine if we could calculate for the flaws in our own perception. Most people believe what they tell themselves is true. And you can believe almost anything you want (as with a lost person imposing the interpretation they WANT on the features of geography around them becuase they don't WANT to be lost - by they way, it's the reason so many people take so long to stop and ask for directions - they never quite fully give up on the interpretation they hope to make fit by finding what the want "just around the next corner").

  • Triangulation to me is essentially discussion with other people. I love to be challenged, I love to have to think about "Why", and I especially love when I finally understand something from a different viewpoint.
