This will be a brief post, entertaining strange thoughts.
I have talked a bit about tradition, especially my preference for using the term to refer to a very specific set of historical relationships between living people. I’m sure that seems unnecessarily fiddly to some, but one of advantages of limiting the term is that it exposes more clearly the domain of spiritual experience to which it does not apply, namely the eruption of gnosis.
Happy New Year, peoples. In the spirit of the new year, I am going to experiment a little here, posting some much rougher entries under the category ‘Notebook.’ I plan to use this on a trial basis, so I’m not sure if the category will have staying power. I see these posts serving two uses.
First, they provide me a place to share a little of what I am reading and thinking as I am doing it and have the added bonus of showing some of my conceptual work.
Second, and more importantly, they serve to anchor some concepts I plan to use in future posts, providing a kind of dictionary to which I can link.
I’ll flag them [NB] in the title, as well as assigning them a category so they are easy to pick out, either to examine or disregard.
