what I am getting at is that yes - it makes sense to speak of an inner life and an outer world
this is the reality as given - or one common description of it
however on reflection all categories of this argument are open to question
each reality as posited is on reflection not beyond reflection
you can dig in and take a stand
but really a stand on what?
the issue - these issues are always live - never put to bed
and so the only position finally that has any real logical integrity
is the position of no position
reflectively speaking
the plus here is an open mind
an awareness that is not contained - from the inside
it is to be in a perpetual state of metaphysical awakeness
and we can maintain such a position
even as we go about the very particular business of living
it is to say - yes the world demands and perhaps - I accept - but I do not accede
on the metaphysical level my judgement is in suspense
