“The goal prefigures the species of the elements of experience and discovery. Where the goal continually improves itself, sometimes by leaps, sometimes by steps, one can trust in the path and its processes. Perhaps many of us are unaware of our goals in forming ideas, speech and activities. Few are aware that the goal has three faces; inward (yin), outward (yang), and hidden (origin). Each of these may be layered, and becoming conscious of them is a fascinating and rewarding experience. As one gains the capacity to sense one’s own goals, or the anatomy of our motivation, many new abilities and senses arise. This is perhaps due to the fact that a great deal of effort was required to maintain their status as hidden from awareness. And this effort results in all sorts of confusing outcomes, derivations, theories, opinions and so on. The categories we derive for experience and the way we distinguish participants and elements of context… all of these derive their species and thus their functions from the purposive roots that give rise to the urge to act or not, and in what capacities. Even this text is such and example, and it can be traced back to the purposes that induced the necessity of producing it. These are not simple, but complex; and whatever we view as having precedence will further shape our relationship with the next phases of thought or interpretation.”
