Livable Certainty- trusting in ones senses, but knowing that those senses may very well be off. This is a certainty ones life is not dependent upon. Though humble, it is what both logic and mystical knowledge have traditionally been built upon. There isn’t as much to say about this as there is to say about Absolute Certainty, mainly because this way of life does not possess the excitement and promise of absolutism. It does, however, have the advantage of cultivating humility and allowing people of different creeds to talk to each other civilly, and it is a definite requirement in journeying, for it is the thing that prevents a fixed mind.

Fixed mind- like a fixed animal, it is a mind that had been made tame and infertile. The chief attributes of people possessed of a fixed mine are the inability to change or enter into new relationships and communities as well as a fear of re-imaging the world they currently experience.
