Interregnum

Résumé du livre

The broken reign exists when there is, temporarily or long term, no ruler over the mind. Or when mind is incapable of ruling itself. In the interim we waver, waffle and wonder why we find it so difficult to depend upon our unstable intellects to decide what to think, what to say, what to do. Is a mind really meant to act alone? Is there a blank, a space inside we need to fill with something else, something more dependable to complete our personhood? Would having a dependable authority to consult over mental input, content, output . . . result in becoming a more effective human being? Would it shorten indecision, help us be more confident in our choices, relieve anxiety over making decisions? Could direct consultation provide perspectives as evidence for the non-mental reality which we can employ to monitor what goes on in our heads?
