Welcome............. This should be fun........
The heading/name of this blog "Risky Thinkers" describes those folks among us who are willing (or unable to resist) taking the risk of thinking above, below and beyond the norm.
What's risky about that? The primary risk is to the thinker. Madness is the risk.
I've recently found myself saying "If you have the courage to look at what's really happening, be prepared. You're gonna' need every shred of that courage to deal with what you find".
When one considers reality deeply, such considerations eventually tear a hole in the
"fabric of illusion " that holds us together individually and collectively. Our innate capacity for denial (and the comfort it affords) begins to dissolve. What also dissolves is the matrix of security and certainty provided for us by corporations, religions, governments, media and social programming .
We put into place psychically, all the pieces necessary for a perspective of the internal/external universe that's compatible with the collective illusion.
Through "courageous vision" the "collective illusion" begins to fail and a great void opens. Risky thinkers confront the risk of letting go of the illusion and tumbling end over end into the void.
So..... for those of us who seem to be unfortunately, immutably, relentlessly, unavoidably committed to knowing, to paying attention to the man behind the curtain....both within and without.... Here's a place to think and read and write and play and cry and be lost and be found..........
Perhaps we can make it just a little less lonely in the void.
So, Welcome Risky Thinkers! Please share your observations on "the greatest adventure".
Thanks......

The challenge is to see the world as it really is, while maintaining your equilibrium.
It's walking the razor's edge between denial and despair.
Thing is, I always keep slipping and cutting myself! That's one sharp razor!
You're one of the clearest and funniest guys around Gordon... Thanks for your contribution
