Claude Lorrain, Apollo and the Muses on Mount Helion (Parnassus), 1680

Please recall what you have learned about the struggles the members of your family went through as they sought to achieve their goals.

a) Can you remember what those in your family have said about the sacrifices they made in order to achieve their goals?

b) What was their idea of work? How did they communicate to you what they felt about going to work, working, and leaving their work? What image of work did they have?

c) Can you also recall how they seemed to you when they spoke about these things?

d) What impressions were you gaining about life, about the meaning and significance of the sacrifices and the struggles they went through to achieve their goals?

e) Please add your reflections about your parents recollections and interactions with their own parents, your grandparents, for you learned from these too. Be watchful for the patterns which are becoming familiar to you.

f) Please add your recollection of how you saw your parents interacting with their own families.

g) Reflect on the stories your parents told about their own youth, what can you find that reflects your own problem?

h) To what extent can you see that a problem is handed down from one generation to another?

i) Consider, you can stop this transmission in your lifetime; there is no necessity for your children to inherit what you never wanted.

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.
