These are really crazy times-- the craziest in my life. So I thought it would help to ask some basic questions:

What are the questions we need to be asking today?

How did we get here.

What is here?

Where are we going?

What control do we have over our journey and our destination?

Who and what else have control over our journey, our destination and even how we perceive our situation, journey and destination

These are questions that apply to all of us, all of the time.

But we often neglect to think about them . Do we forget? Or are we raised and programmed not to?

How do we break through or free from the programming?

How do we wake up to even realize that we need to break through or free?

Can we be given or seek help to wake up and break through or free?

If we can break through can we actually break free?

What does freedom look like?

What does freedom feel like?

Skinner, in Beyond Freedom and Dignity, wrote that freedom for a person who has lived his life in prison could mean roaming the prison yard.

How do we find the reaches then stretch the envelope of our understanding of freedom?

What are the first steps we take today?

How do we know they are the right steps?

How do we know we haven't already taken steps that have moved our progress forward.

How do we know we are not slaves, working in a delusion of freedom for masters who veil the truth? How do we avoid falling into whirlpools of conspiracy thinking? How do we know if it's conspiracy thinking or reality?

What is the first question? Is there a first question? How do we discover that answer?

Answers. We need them, but we need to be careful " how we receive and embrace them. They can be like drugs. How do we know what to do with them?

Answers are not the answer. They are not the destination. They are clues and pieces in the puzzle that help us see the bigger picture, the contexts.
