Scenes Within the Problem ©1998 NICOLEA

Scenes
We shall use the tem "scene" to describe those stages a problem goes through. A problem is an event that has its own scenes much like acts in a drama - where certain prescribed roles play themselves out.
Scenes Within the Problem
It is likely that the problem-event you have selected has several scenes in it to which you can apply this analysis. However, even if the problem you are working on doesn't have a sufficient number of scenes you will still find it important to answer some of these questions, especially questions (c) through (f).
Later, when you explore your other problems, it is likely that they will have a sufficient number of scenes for you to gain additional insights into by going through this analysis.
a) As you reflect upon it now, would you say that it could have been possible to experience some of the first few scenes in this event without having to go through all the rest?
b) As you examine each of these scenes, would you say that some of the scenes that come later seem to be connected?
c) Now, please recall the most negative scene you described and explain how the scenes that follow (after this negative scene) seem to fit together or, are in some way, connected in a sequence.
d) If you can identify the scene that started this sequence, then you have identified the "turning point" scene. Consider: If you have identified that scene, is it likely that the scenes that follow have a momentum of their own?
e) As you reflect on the scenes of this problem-event would you say that there was a certain momentum it had, pulling you into it and keeping you there?
f) Describe what it is like to experience that pull or momentum.
May we preserve these philosophical beauties, and exhibit them to others. May this web site expand their elegance by the enlivening rays of the philosophic fire; and by the powerful breath of genius, scatter abroad in this virtual world these latent but copious seeds.
If some sparks of this celestial fire shall animate the reader, consider yourself as well rewarded for this laborious undertaking. Ancient philosophy has been, for centuries, the only study to break the shackles of ignorance; and in which one finds an inexhaustible treasure of intellectual wealth, and a perpetual fountain of wisdom and delight.
Presuming that such a pursuit bestows the highest benefit, I, Webmistress, desire no other reward than the wealth of wisdom, and Reason as my constant Guide. If successful, may I see the praise of the liberal; and if not, I expect no defense for failure, other than the decision of the candid, and discerning few, thus the opportunity to learn, and purgation by philosophic fire.
