Several people have asked for me to expound upon what this quote means. I hesitate, in one sense, to do this as I think that rarely does a quote mean for readers exactly what it meant for the author. Instead of saying what it means exactly, I will simply describe the moments that led up to its creation.
Over the past few days as I have been reflecting back on and writing on my life, my perceptions of my life, and how it has led me to where I am today, I found myself over and over again having clairvoyant moments. Not in the mystical or psychic sense, but in the sense that in the act of writing a belief or idea down it takes on something like a physical form that can be seen and is more real and accountable to reason than a fleeting thought or idea tied up in the recesses of my mind. Through this different light, I am allowed in a more clear-sighted manner to understand my beliefs often times leading to a refining and redefining of my beliefs. These new beliefs help me to understand how my beliefs were not really fully formed, therefore not somtheing I really believed.
