Perception, Intention or Action
Slept over the issue and woke up with a strange notion:
1) How Man acquires wisdom
Perception ("P") and Action ("A") are observable and arise from Intention ("I"), which is not.
Therefore P, A and both P and A can be used to infer I.
2) How Man interacts with the world
I leads to A, but never to P.
A leads to P, but never to I.
P leads to I, but never to A.
Therefore I leads to A, which leads to P, which leads back to I.
3) Linking all things
The link between I and A ("I-A") is known as competency.
A-P is known as consciousness.
P-I is known as reflection.
So to answer your question again jw5,
it is 6, not 3 things you wish to consider most important.
I don't know which is most important.
But it appears, if either one of these six fails
Man's acquisition of wisdom is impaired.
--The End--
Either very profound, or complete rubbish.
