Are you seeking validation of your wisdom or are you going to present your hard earned knowledge and allow us to determine its validity for our lives?
So it wasn't a prerequisite to me that I should see, hear, smell, taste and/or touch the Will/Power which is behind my existence to start discovering it and get from it the knowledge that could be useful to 'my' being (obviously not to my flesh since the instructions related to it are already embedded in its living cells; known as instincts and human rights for a few).
By the way, as I mentioned earlier, all living things are not supposed to search the end purpose of their existence which is simply to serve the continuity of the world; the way that each species is supposed to do (the word 'serve' here may be about building and destroying as well).
Anyway, I spent too many years to have an adequate knowledge that helped me be a professional designer. So it took me even more years to discover the logical answers to all important questions related to my being and the world (the realm which is defined and limited by time/space) in which I was brought.
If I am not wrong, in case you are old enough you also got all important answers that you were looking for and are related to your being, in the least.
Please don't tell me you needed validation from some others that you are a wise person. But this may happen if someone likes to please some persons whom he cares of.
About going on, I guess I have to explore first... Erik Erikson's theory of Ego Integrity vs. Despair... and see if it is at work here or not.
