The Doorway into the Problem ©1998 NICOLEA

The Household Gods, John William Waterhouse

The turning point scene is what we refer to as "The Doorway into the Problem."

 

a) Once you reached that doorway, is it not likely that you were "locked in," as it were? Please explain.

b) Could you say, then, that you were no longer in control and that the momentum of the problem carried you on through it?

c) Study the scenes you have just described, reflect on each, and consider something quite curious: in what way can you say that not only are you "locked in" and experience a sense of some force, or momentum, carrying you along, but that you also seem to be ignoring the fact that you have done this before? Is this state one in which you can easily forget what you know and so, act in a state of forgetfulness?

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.
