{"product_id":"from-nonsense-to-tri-sight-patrick-a-b-johnston-9781312660847","title":"From 'Nonsense' To 'Tri-Sight'","description":"My first 'book'... was more of a journal, with poems and ideas, from my days as a young man, circa '74 to '86. A kind of 'folder' of personal growth and discovery, set amidst life's ineffable churn. I made it as a means to cope - to make sense of things, when a bizarre event at age 17 had me within neurons of solipsistic nihilism - ouch! In that time my world view leapt from 'naive poetic idealist' to 'determined philosophical realist.' Out of necessity, I adopted a stoic skepticism as I sought out an 'affirm-able bedrock' to reality. I came to focus on perception's source and form, and found its essence in the timeless dance of our seeing, being \u0026amp; doing. This in turn led me to draw a workable ontological model, rooted in what I called life's 'all-pervading will to survive'. A motive trait that may have guided life from inception, by holding a natural orientation to space-time. 'Tri-sight' is just utile coinage. What I think it represents may be a key to unlocking a freer will in each of us, if we dare.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick A. B.
