Speculation

Suppose you say,

“I don’t want to rely on interpretation and concepts, I’m tired of an intellectual approach. It hasn’t got me anywhere. I feel unhappy and incomplete. I want to be more alive.”

This is good, because it means you understand something about the limits on our standard ways of knowing.

But look at what’s going on.

You have adopted a new position; you tried your old approach and you are looking for something different.

What are you looking for? You don’t know.

So you’re in the realm of speculation.

Speculation has its place, but if you try to build on it, you’re very close to delusion.
