We all have some reason for studying our craft what ever we call it. For some its to help others. For others its to help our selfs and still others its power. There are a host of other reasons. What is your reason? Has it changed? Has it stayed the same? Please put your thoughts and musings down and share them. We may learn something from others or learn something about our selfs.
Why not ?
Its out there, and for all appearances . . . its "real". Why not?
If it (the study and practice) offers even a small percentage of the value and experiences suggested . . . why not?
Its like the baby exploring its hand, waving it around to explore haptics and movement, sticking it in its mouth to explore taste,texture,form. Its there . . . its operant. Why not?
It doesn't matter all the cool, personal, altruistic, meglomeniac, or fantasmia reasons. . . the real reason to study and practice "this" is . . . why not ? (other then some form of hegemony . . . which sucks)
and so . . no, the basic reason (for me) hasn't change . . . simply ontologic . . . why not?
